I’ve never had a Pepsi that was flat unless someone shook it up and let all the fizz out which would happen with. Coke too! Pepsi has ALWAYS tasted flat to me. The carbonation just isn't there, in my opinion! You can look at both as they are poured into glasses and the bubbles are larger and more active in the Coke and thus it has more bite!! Coke is also slightly more tart!! Offsets the sweetener, (usually corn syrup) better. I buy the Coca Cola Life which uses real sugar and stevia!! Tastes just like regular Coke and drops my blood sugar and average of 25 points!! Link to post Share on other sites

It also has a better flavor, to me Coke is too sweet and kind of bland. Link to post Share on other sites

Chili Ron 897 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Howdy, Pepsi Coke. A classic rivalry. I once took the pepsi challenge at the Wis state fair. I chose Coke. When they asked myfavorite beverage I said Coors. Of Course. They dont call it cowboy kool aid for nothing. By the way if you really like Coke I hear Mcdonalds mixes extra strong Coke so that adding ice will make the mix just right. On a hot summer day I went thru the mc drive thru and ordered Coke with very little ice. I immediatly stuck in a straw and took a good hard pull on that cold Coke. It was SO GOOD. Hard to believe people under 21 can order that. Best CR Link to post Share on other sites
Chili Ron 897 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Howdy, Free choice ? Funny thing about that. Pepsi paid off the admin at NIU to only serve Pepsi. The only place on the whole campus selling coke was the McD store in the student center. ALL Coke machines out. All dining halls Pepsi only. And they made a fuss if people brought Coke products from home and put Cokes in the office referigerator. In a STAFF MEETING. NO COKE PEPSI. Fortunate for me I hardly drink either. Most times when I drink pop it is included with the meal price. Best CR Which could also stand for Crown Royal....... Link to post Share on other sites

When I was in school the local Pepsi bottler provided everything to all the schools for next to nothing. We got the machines, CO2, and cups for free as long as we bought pre-mixed soda from them at a steep discount. It came in reusable cans about 3 feet tall and 10" in diameter. Allowed us to make a profit on concession sales at our ball games. While we sold candy, hot dogs, and nachos the only things we made any real money on were Sodas and Popcorn.
