    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭phlegms


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭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.

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

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

    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!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 777 ✭✭✭Mayoegian


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

    Which one's better?

    Neither.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭thee glitz


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭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 > *


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    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"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 157 ✭✭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.

    pepsi max > pepsi > coca cola

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    Interesting fact -

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Cheap Thrills!


    They are both muck.

    Anyone else remember these ? ^^^^


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Cherry Coke. Yummy, but bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,849 ✭✭✭Midnight_EG


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,415 ✭✭✭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.

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


    Coke is a class above imo.
