Crazy rant about Pepsi and Coke

Yes, we call them soft drinks, but it's quite uncommon. You'll see it on menus or a commercial or in a magazine article about health, but I've never heard anyone actually say it.

Oh. Yeah. They are.

And don't take me seriously, please. If it's in the boards, it's a joke. If it's in a journal, I'm being serious. Hey, that gives me an idea for a thread.

pepsi sux.
coke is the cola with bite

mmm barq's rootbeer

flat warm cola

well people might change there order when you tell them you serve pepsi not coke because they would rather have something else rather than pepsi (ever think of that).
The reason People never sent the cheap substitute you used for coke back was probably because when they tasted it they thought something like......"Damn this is shitty tasting coke premix!"
I dont know just a theory, or it could be that only aliens eat at the restaurant where you work and it goes against there protocal.

I drink mass quantities of Coke. I hate Pepsi. I can totaly tell the difference. I will always order Dr. Pepper instead if they don't have Coke. I used to work at a club that served RC and said it was Coke too. I never had anyone complain either but I think it was due to the fact that it was used to mix drinks so the taste wasn't as apperant. Coke rules!

Many people won't drink Pepsi because of the company's human rights violations in Burma. Actually, after reading this thread - I could probably change the previous statement to "many of my political friends won't..." So never mind.

i drink diet coke, and if they tell me they have diet pepsi yes i will change my order. diet pepsi is no where are good as diet coke. yes it could only be in my head, but its my head im pleasing not yours.
and also on the rc tip..i can always tell if its some nasty cheap brand of soda. i never drink cola that isnt coke. if im brainwashed im brainwashed.
but not all sodas are created equally.

I drink no soda at all. Carbonated water in vast quantities (1.5L/day). Sometimes I mix a little juice in the bubble water, not very often.
Coke just has not been interesting since they took the coca out.

I take the pepsi challenge and win, everytime. I... am a great man.

That aside, I wouldn't change orders. But pepsi is too sweet. However, the taste is usually nullified by incorrect mixtures from the fountain.

i had a disagreement with the beverage manager at my restaurant over coke. i tried to convince him that the best coke ever comes out of the fountains at mcdonalds. he says it's all exactly the same everywhere, but i steadfastly disagreed. arby's also has really great coke ... totally different from mickey ds. arby's coke is somehow smoother.

i love coke in a can with pizza but it makes me explode. also, i know it's just me, but it seems like the taste of coke in a can has changed over the last couple of years. it's been a while since i've had a really great coke in a can. i remember a few years ago, i got the best case of coke ever -- it was when they were having their christmas packaging. those were the days. =]

all sodas in bottles are awful. i was at a greek festival recently where the only options for drinks were plastic bottled pepsi products. i love me some dew, but i chose dehydration over one sip from a bottle. it just kills the flavor.

glass bottles, however, are the ultimate. i had mountain dew in a glass bottle a few years ago in orange county, ca.

i don't even remember what pepsi tastes like, but i know i hate it. fortunately, if you have pepsi products, you probably have the dew.

it really disconcerts me when i see a machine that has both coke and pepsi products. i even saw a fountain at blimpies that had all coke products, and a coke logo...but it had mountain dew as an option as well.

and that is all i have to say about sodas.

Yeah, I do that too. Coke is has more carbination in it and Pepsi has more suger. I dont like Pepsi.

It's all about Coke from the can. No restaurant in the world can compare.

I much prefer Pepsi over Coke and can tell the difference. In my part of the UK, the only place that serves Pepsi is KFC, and some pubs (brewery dependent) everywhere else does Coke. If I can't have Pepsi, I drink Sprite, or failing that, Dr.Pepper.

That's the South, I've heard pop the most.

I call it brains.

Need more brains...

The plastic bottle is the bane of cola drinkers everywhere.

I sometimes go out of my way to shop at these small mom and pop convience stores that stock Mexican Coca-Cola in the tall glass bottles.

Even though I always pay way too much, it is so great to sit down with a real have to open with a bottle opener old style tall glass bottle of Coke on a hot summer's day.
