Pepsi vs Coca Cola

DS86DS · 18-01-2021 12:51pm #1

Which tastes better, which do you prefer?

keano_afc · 18-01-2021 1:05pm

Real Coke beats Real Pepsi.

Pepsi Max beats Diet Coke/Coke Zero.

Oink · 18-01-2021 1:10pm

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

gerrybbadd · 18-01-2021 1:11pm

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

EmmetSpiceland · 18-01-2021 1:32pm

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.

You can't snort pepsi

18-01-2021 1:34pm

Pepsi is far superior.

Coca-Cola is just watered down Pepsi.

Outkast_IRE · 18-01-2021 1:35pm

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

rapul · 18-01-2021 1:42pm

Coca cola hands down, ice cold can, perfect.

SourSessions · 18-01-2021 1:55pm

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

Dr. Bre · 18-01-2021 1:56pm

Pepiss

+1

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.

18-01-2021 2:01pm

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

18-01-2021 2:03pm

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.

py2006 · 18-01-2021 2:07pm

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

jester77 · 18-01-2021 2:09pm

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

ManOfMystery · 18-01-2021 2:15pm

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.....

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!

Agent Avenger · 18-01-2021 2:35pm

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

Can be bought on Amazon.

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

Edit: oh, maybe by a third party

2lazytogetup · 18-01-2021 3:37pm

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.

Awe go on you know secretly want to try it. You would probably look great in one and maybe even enjoy it too. You never know until you try it.

iamstop · 18-01-2021 3:55pm

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

18-01-2021 3:57pm

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.

Rattlehead_ie · 18-01-2021 3:57pm

Pepsi all the way. Wont say no to coke though.
Anyone see Jolt is back (as Volt Cola)

CalamariFritti · 18-01-2021 3:58pm

As for the originals, Coke beats Pepsi.

As for the diet versions not much between Coke Zero and Pepsi Max IMO. But the winner in that segment for me is Lidl Diet Coke (not zero).

But you can inject it. Snorting is for pussies. Between the toes, no one knows.

That the dandelion and burdock one?

Muahahaha · 18-01-2021 4:46pm

Coke, and it has to be from a can preferably chilled in the freezer down to 2 or 3 degrees. Just dont forget you put it in there though

Couldn’t be, they said it was lovely.

18-01-2021 4:48pm

Could be this. Went to pick it up a few times and then thought of the bottle bank visit.

Ah, same company. Had them both years ago, always find “alternative” colas taste a bit flat and like melted cola sweets.

1o059k7ewrqj3n · 18-01-2021 5:57pm

PEPSI
Fentiman's Cola
Afri Cola [Germany]
Dr. Pepper

In that order.

Agree. Pepsi tastes like sweetened pish.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 18-01-2021 6:00pm

I like both but Coke is king.

Charlie19 · 18-01-2021 6:01pm

Cavan cola for the win:)
