Daemos

Well, is there?

And if so, which is nicer?

Do you have any opinion to add first?

I think they come from two different worms!

Definite difference. Pepsi tastes a lot more sugary.

Coca Cola > Pepsi , but I wouldn't be mad about either. By contrast, used to work with a fella who drank between 4-6 litres of Coke per day.

Yes, there is a difference in taste. That's a fact.

Coca Cola is far nicer. That's an opinion.

I always be loyal to Pepsi because they were indirectly responsible for setting fire to Michael Jackson's hair.

Pepsi for me, beyond doubt, it's much nicer IMO

phlegms

Don't like either (I'm a Nestea man), but there is definitely a difference.

Hank_Jones

There is a difference.

If anything I think that Pepsi has a slight tangy flavour to it compared to Coke.

Personally I prefer Coke, but I would think that has something to do with the fact that Coke is far more widely available in Ireland than Pepsi.
So that's what I grew up drinking.

Nothing beats a nice glass of milk though. :cool:

Plus that poll is a bit biased, I'm certainly not addicted to either, but I would choose Coke over Pepsi.
Fanta Jaguar it is.

They are definately different but they are both horrible.

A Coca Cola related demise?! That's some intake alright.

I only ever drink it with a chipper feed/take away. Just fits.

mahamageehad

There's a serious difference. Pepsi is way more sugary!

God you sound almost as silly as people who can't taste the difference between coke and diet coke!!

Diet coke ftw!

Mayoegian

Both are full of sugar and are just so unhealthy, especially to your teeth.

Which one's better?

Neither.

Diet coke > Pepsi > Coke
^
addictive, i'm sure they put something in it.

DazMarz

I like both of them, but given a choice I'd take Pepsi.

And no, they are not ''The same'', just as some people say.

Nah he's still alive. He tried quitting once (lasted about a week). By lunchtime on day-one I could see him already physically getting the shakes.

Pepsi Max > *

I prefer Coke.

There's an ad in the Invention of Lying which sums the two up

"Pepsi - for when they don't have Coke"

Atavan-Halen

I can definitely can taste a difference. As for which I prefer, Sometimes I'm in the mood for a pepsi, sometimes a coke.

Michael-O'Neill

They aren't different pepsi tastes nicer IMO, Pepsi does not contain sugar, it contains sweetners which, ive been told by sciency people is better for you. still dont think either are very healthy.

Michael-O'Neill

pepsi max > pepsi > coca cola

But how can one taste nicer than the other if they aren't different?

m@cc@

Interesting fact -

On three separate occasions, Coca-Cola was offered the opportunity to purchase Pepsi and it declined on each occasion.

Cheap Thrills!

They are both muck.

Anyone else remember these ? ^^^^

CrazyRabbit

Cherry Coke. Yummy, but bad.

Midnight_EG

I didn't vote because I like both, but:
Pepsi in a can and coke from a bottle only!

The Pontiac

Interesting than no other company came up with something that tastes remotely as good as these two. I'm not really a Cola man myself, but there's nothing worse than cheap tasting cola. I think Virgin tried to take them on (not sure if they still sell it)..

I'd go with Coke, Pepsi tastes too sweet. KFC should take a look at the poll results here.

What about Cyaavan cola?

Tar.Aldarion

They don't even taste similar...let alone the same.


Coke is a class above imo.

jesus_thats_gre

There is something wrong with you if you cannot taste the difference between the two.

tipperaryboy

I would prefer coke there's just something about pepsi cant put my finger on what it is.Why does coke in a pub always taste terrible?

I dont like pepsi tastes flat or something,coke and bacardi ftw,just like im having now:)

Senna

Coke wins hands down, but Pespi, tea, water, piss wins over Diet coke.


I love coke, but cant mix it with any alco drinks, just ruins both drinks.

Amen, taste better separately.

anniehoo

Coke is head n shoulders above Pepsi. I love the way Coke kinda hurts in your mouth (bubble explosion) out of an ice cold can. You know the first sip, that its soo fizzy and cold that ye have to close your eyes and hold your breath for a sec before swallowing.(insert any innuendo ye like )

I only drink it when im hungover though. Have weaned myself onto the diet version which doesnt give ya the same "hit" but does the job.

Pepsi's vile.

Robb

Pepsi owns, Pepsi Lime was really good.

Exception to this is if you have a night out intending not to drink any booze, but as the night progresses you lose your resolve. In this scenario beer suddenly starts to taste even better than usual. .... and friends more interesting , women more attractive, me more charming etc etc

Herb Powell

there most certainly is a difference. I'd pick coke over pepsi, but just about. they're both nice to me in their own ways

kowloon

They do indeed taste different: most people actually prefer Pepsi if given Pepsi and Coke in a blind taste test. Pepsi realised this a few years back and started doing the Pepsi challenge (anyone remember it?).
Coke remains more popular though and is held up as an example of a marketing victory - Brand recognition is the key.

TK Cream Soda is my drink of choice, but I can't get it here in the UK.
I also love Tanora, but I can't get that in Dublin very easily.

If anyone in the UK knows of a good Irish drinks company, let me know.

Giselle

Don't like the sugary variants of either. Hate Coke Zero, hate Pepsi max.

Diet coke is okay but Diet Pepsi is hands-down the winner.
I miss lime Pepsi.:(

You can get Tanora in Tesco.

I'll look for Tanora when I'm home.

The cream soda in the UK, or at least every brand I've tried, is vile, nothing like TK cream soda.

Tar.Aldarion

Cream Soda is the worst drink ever, makes me puke. :eek:

McChubbin

Eh, they're both equally bland. VANILLA Coke, though...

HalloweenJack

Vanilla Coke, ftw.

Would agree for every variety with the exception of TK and some stuff I bought that came in beer can size up North.

Seems TK have ceased manufacturing Cream Soda, Raspberry and Ciderette.
I'm VERY pi55ed off about this.

There's so much less variety in the last few years or so.
