    Real Coke beats Real Pepsi.

    Pepsi Max beats Diet Coke/Coke Zero.

    If it’s not Coke Zero you’re a lame-o.
    True story.

    Pepsi has always paled in comparison to Coke.

    Coke Zero is the best. Very little difference between it and the real thing. Pepsi Max wins over Diet Coke though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,966 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Tough call as to which tastes better. Coke is fizzier and Pepsi is sweeter. Six of one, really.

    Coke doesn’t come in 2 litre bottles anymore so I go for Pepsi if I’m out shopping.

    Pepsi is far superior.

    Coca-Cola is just watered down Pepsi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,511 ✭✭✭Outkast_IRE


    Pepsi Max

    Neither. They are both bad. However when I did drink them I liked both and it would depend on what I felt like but most times it was coke.

    Don't forget Dr Pepper. It's around nearly as long as Coca Cola and longer than Pepsi

    Peace and long life.

    Definitely Pepsi Max for me. Ideally from one of those 750ml bottles (can tastes a bit metallic, larger bottles go flat too quickly)

    Would also add that Pepsi Max lime and Pepsi Max lemon are the best cola drinks out of them all

    That's a very defeatist attitude.

    Don't drink the sugary versions any more, so for me it's Coke Zero, very close to the original. Diet Pepsi is pretty decent and would be my second choice. I will drink Diet Coke if there's nothing else, but Pepsi Max is too sweet for me.


  • Posts: 7,852 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Pepsi Max all the way. Don't like the taste of any of the other brands or levels in comparison.


  • Posts: 11,734 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I don’t like full sugar drinks I do like Coke Zero from a can and rock shandy club zero from a can also.

    They taste better from a can than a bottle. I wish they did club lemon zero in a can.

    Rarely I’d have a Pepsi Max from a can

    What! Where can I find Pepsi Max lemon I’d like to try that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,845 ✭✭✭py2006


    Coke was always nicer. But they have changed the recipe (reduced level sugar?) in recent years and its not quite the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    If you ever taste Fritz Cola, you'll never drink either of these again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭ManOfMystery


    I prefer Coke Zero to Pepsi Max.

    For full sugar versions, I prefer Pepsi to Coke.

    Pepsi are about the only ones which ever got the 'Coke' recipe almost right, I've tried loads of cola variants over the years and whilst some are ok in isolation, very few came close to replicating the taste of Coca Cola. With that said, I remember getting a few tins of Virgin Cola when it launched in the mid 90s and it was probably (bar Pepsi) the closest I'd tasted to Coca Cola. Which is probably why they aggressively snuffed the Virgin product out of the market.....

    What! Where can I find Pepsi Max lemon I’d like to try that.

    You'll probably need to try a Polish shop, for some reason they keep all their best flavours exclusive to Eastern Europe. It's worth the extra effort though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭Agent Avenger


    Pepsi Max for me, especially the cherry and ginger flavours.

    Can be bought on Amazon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,537 ✭✭✭SourSessions


    Still? Most food and drink can't be shipped to Ireland anymore since Brexit.

    Edit: oh, maybe by a third party


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 868 ✭✭✭2lazytogetup


    I was (and still am ) influenced by marketing back in the day , pepsi max sounds a lot better than diet coke. im a dude. Diet coke had ads with guys taking off their shirts. And back in then men didnt go on diets. so pepsi max all the way. i prefered pepsi max to normal coke as didnt have a bad feeling of syrup stuck to my teeth afterwards.

    Other stuff i wouldnt feel right about buying cause of marketing - Special K, ( i dont want to wear a slim red dress).
    a Mini car. a male lad i knew had one and got fed up of guys driving up beside him and getting disappointed it was him and not a stunning girl.
    some of those 0% fat muller yogurts,
    some of those magnum ice creams advertised at chicks
    tampons.

    They're both vile and the devil in liquid form. I'll sip this tea instead, Kermit style.

    SuperValu do a lovely cola in a glass bottle. Can't recall the brand, one of those small family productions (or at least branded that way) but very nice.

    It can be quite hit or miss whether they have it in stock.
