    This was always a no brainer for me. It wasn't until recently that somebody said to me that nobody could tell the difference! :eek:

    To me Pepsi was always that bit sweeter but I prefer coke. Although either does it for me.

    Anyway, can you tell the difference?

    God I'd love a coke now! :P

    Pepsi is better in my opinion, has a more "Cola-ish" flavour.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,351 ✭✭✭Orando Broom


    There is no comparison in taste, not even close.

    Yes, Coke is the one that comes in the red can


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    Of course I can tell the difference.
    I can also tell the difference between the pink and the white marshmallows.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    Never liked Pepsi. It always taste likes a poor substitute for the Real Thing :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,150 ✭✭✭.E_C_K_S.


    Pepsi is alot nice than coke in the states but it's the opposite here for some reason.

    I'm also sick of these threads.Go away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,488 ✭✭✭kingtut


    I believe I can taste the difference.

    I get really pissed off though if I am in a bar and I ask for a coke and the person gives me a pepsi or vice-versa. Same thing with Sprite and 7up.

    If I ask for a pepsi give me a goddamn pepsi! if you only have coke then tell me :mad::mad::mad:

    Yes i can,

    I drink gallons of coke.

    Pepsi tastes like shit


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭PseudoFamous


    Coke tastes more like caramel than Pepsi, but as stated, Pepsi is sweeter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,488 ✭✭✭kingtut

    You clearly have no taste buds you nasty boy now go away :mad: :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    they taste completely different :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 629 ✭✭✭Sierra 117


    Yes, I can. There's definitely a distinct difference between them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭Thor


    I could always tell the difference!!

    I use to always drink diet coke(Still do the odd bit) But now I'm a pepsi max guy.

    For some reason pepsi max just taste better, Also takes much longer for it to go flat or at least loose its taste.

    In blind taste tests it has been discovered that most people can't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, whatever their stated preference


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,300 ✭✭✭HazDanz


    Bring back pepsi twist to Ireland god damn it!!

    That's kind of obvious though seeing as people recognise things with smell taste touch and sight, if you take any of those away the chances of not correctly identifying something are reduced :cool:

    Bah to you and your foolish comment,

    Pepsi is the fuel of the simpleton. :rolleyes:

    Coke is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay nicer.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭Columbia


    If someone said to me they couldn't taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke I would think there was something wrong with them, or that they're a heavy smoker at the very least.

    Pepsi tastes like cardboard, Coke tastes amazing...in my opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,163 ✭✭✭✭Liam Byrne


    Pepsi is mank, and it always p's me off when I go to KFC or Supermac's and ask for a coke and get that gunk instead.

    If I wanted Pepsi I would have asked for it.

    i once did the pepsi challenge outside the square and because i got it right i won vouchers for lifestyle sports.

    Absolutely! Coke is much nicer than Pepsi. I hate when places only offer Pepsi - its such a poor substitute.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 440 ✭✭nicechick!

    Pepsi has a more metallic taste and tastes something like Diet Coke.

    Yep i can. Pepsi is much sweeter. I don't drink fizzy drinks much anymore, but i'd always pick Coke over Pepsi.

    Pepsi is nicer and more cola-y as someone else said.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭ishvalian


    From a can or bottle, i think i could tell the difference easily. If it is from one of those machines they use in the cinema or fast food restaurant, i reckon they both taste pretty much the same.


  • Registered Users Posts: 120 ✭✭Cian59


    I think it is obvious!! And also, people saying that there's no difference in regular and diet coke tastes'!!! Obviously there is!! :p

    Pepsi is initially sweeter and nicer, hence why it won all those Pepsi challenges and famously and disastrously made coke change their formula.

    But and it turned out to be a very big BUT, Coke is more satisfying then pepsi when you drink a whole portion as in a can. Which made Coke quickly return their old formulae to the market and call it Coke classic.

    Personally I hate them both I much prefer a cup of tea but if forced I would order a pepsi.


  • Registered Users Posts: 796 ✭✭✭TheBunk1


    Pepsi is a liquid. Coke is a powder. :confused:

    But seriously, yeah of course I can tell the difference. They don't taste anything like each other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    I honestly don't get the point of Pepsi.

    Those people exist? Are they retarded?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,821 ✭✭✭phill106


    Coke is infinitely better then pepsi, I am amazed at people who can't taste the difference. I would bet 100 euro on myself to pick the difference in a blind taste test.
    Dislike pepsi so much that when I go to pizza hut, I must drink club orange!


    On a side note, why can't they exist side by side in harmony in places?
    Do the machines cost so much? Can they not do halfsies? One coke pump and one pepsi one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,940 ✭✭✭4leto


    They definitely taste different coke is fluffier and pepsi is sweeter.
