Coffee doesn’t automatically come with sugar, so… Obviously no? What rhetorical point are you even trying to make?
Coffee is the glorious nectar of Hermes and sugar is totally optional. Even if you do add sugar, you only need 1/10th of what’s in a single can of Coke to really brighten up the flavor.
HeavenAndHellExactly. They pump soda with so much packed in sugar, it’s hard to do the same with coffee without overflowing the coffee.
None of those are water so yes
coffee shitty black sugar water
coffee doesn’t come with sugar. Try harder.
They both taste like shit. #Water4Ever
██████████water is literally in poop and pss
I honestly think people who prefer one over the other would not be able to tell them apart in a blind test.
I have done that before and I was able to tell the difference. Coca cola has this “soapy” taste to it which I sometimes prefer but usually I prefer pepsi
mihntI don’t mind either of them. They both taste fine to me. However, flat pepsi tastes like crap and I’ve noticed how easy it goes flat myself.
I mean, the whole point of a carbonated beverage is the carbonation. If I want sugar water, I’ll drink juice.
Pepsi is definitely sweeter, at least the 0cal products. Both taste fine.
Funny you mention that! Pepsi literally made this a huge ad campaign in the 80’s. They found that in blind tests between Coke and Pepsi, the vast majority of people picked Pepsi as their favourite, even the people who said they preferred drinking Coke.
Oddly enough, Coke ran a campaign at the same time saying “I picked Coke” and it was a smash hit. Pepsi ended up being meme’d on despite their blind tests showing they were better. It’s great proof that what sells a product isn’t how good the product itself is, but how good its marketing is.
One idea I heard is that Pepsi is sweeter, so people prefer it when it’s only a shot glass amount. But a full can people prefer less sweet coke.
+1 and the wiki actually mentions that theory,
In his book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005), author Malcolm Gladwell presents evidence that suggests Pepsi’s success over Coca-Cola in the “Pepsi Challenge” is a result of the flawed nature of the “sip test” method.[6] His research shows that tasters will generally prefer the sweeter of two beverages based on a single sip, even if they prefer a less sweet beverage over the course of an entire can.[7] Additionally, the challenge more often than not labeled the Pepsi cup with an “M” and the Coca-Cola cup with a “Q,” suggesting letter preference may drive some of the results.[8]
Tested myself in an a-b test a while ago and tried to figure out what intricate differences are in the tastes specifically, after being a pepsi fan. Turns out here in europe pepsi tastes a lot sweeter, while coke has a lot more sparkle. The lesser sweetness turned me into a coke fan.
Many people don’t have a good pallet, but it’s pretty easy to tell the difference via the texture. Pepsi is a bit more syrupy, and sweeter, whereas coke is a more bitter-sweet taste. Both are absolutely carb bombs, but as soon as you spend just a little time comparing the tastes of the two, you can pick out their distinct flavor notes easily. I’m only comparing the shitty HFCS beverages in America which both coke and pepsi use. Cane Sugar Pepsi, vs Cane Sugar Coke I’m not so sure about. I do prefer Can Sugar Coke (i.e. mexican coke) over HFCS. I haven’t had a cane sugar pepsi in years.
*palate. A pallet is what you transport stuff on.
But I think I saw a thing about a blind test where what people said they preferred weren’t what they actually said they enjoyed the most during the blind test. I don’t remember whether it was coca people enjoying pepsi or pepsi people enjoying RC or whatever, but it was something.
Uh, I don’t drink either much because I can’t have caffeine and I’m more of a ginger ale person myself, but the difference in taste is so obvious it’s comical.
Seriously? They’re very different flavors. Coke has a darker almost gritty taste and Pepsi is way more light and sugary. Don’t really love either, but they don’t taste the same.
Well I hate fizz.
So. Pepsi wins easy.
yosoybartsoloI love Pepsi, and I love the feel in mouth when you do the first sip. Also, the flavor is more sweet, and consistent. Pepsi wins for me!
comment deletionYeah, but it goes away after the first sip 🤦
You can always open a new one :)

At least if you are drinking that by yourself and have no one else to share it with.
Bigger bottles are better for the environment.
Yes, but so does drinking water only
What's your point?
deegeeseNobody is saving the environment by drinking soda from giant bottles.

MentalEdgeI’m a dr Pepper kind of guy, but when it comes to cabornation, coke goes WAY too hard for my tastes. Like I just taste the sourness of carbonation. Nothing else.
ivanafterallThe "burn" of the fizz is what I'm addicted to, I've realized. I feel like I need that icy throat burn for a meal to be complete.
Dark_BladeSeltzer is a good substitute.
FistfulOfStarsWhen I was in high school in the 90's, we had a soda machine that was owned by the school, and had all the different brands - Coke, Pepsi, RC, etc.
One year, they took out the old, independent machines and replaced them with Pepsi machines that were owned by either Pepsi Co or some nameless vendor. They only contained Pepsi brand products - Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.
At first we were annoyed, but eventually... I'm now a Pepsi guy for life. I drastically prefer it to Coke or anything else.
At the time, their ad slogan was "The Choice of a New Generation" - And they ensured that by making contracts favorable to school district's bottom lines in a successful attempt to groom me into being a Pepsi guy.
And it worked. I was groomed, and I still abide by my programming to this day, even while being fully aware of it.
If you think you're immune to corporate programming because you're aware of it and are a skeptic at heart - you aren't.
I’m absolutely immune to corporate programming!

They tried this at my high school in Georgia, which for those unaware Atlanta, Ga is where Coca-Cola was created and is HQed, it did not work at all, we would drink Pepsi products at school because that’s what we could get but constantly talked about how we wished they are coke machines.
So, you even realize it and somehow prefer the worse product?.. Crazy. I rarely drink soda, but I keep some coke in the fridge for guest and drink mixer occasionally. I only drink soda like once a month max, but when I do it’s definitely not Pepsi.
ipsFritz > Coke > Pepsi
There’s several brands of soda I really like that they don’t seem to carry in anything but a few “premium” grocery stores around me. I think most brands are better than coke and Pepsi, but they own everything and are all that’s available to most of the US.
It’s just another terrible symptom of our horrible late stage capitalism. Three companies own like 90% of the brands in almost every grocery store in America. At least with soda them making the options shit makes it less tempting for me to buy and drink the product.
Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree.
But Fritz is a German brand and it’s in every supermarket and corner store around me, and I tend to find it all over Europe. It really is available just as much as Coke, and in fact a lot easier to find than Pepsi, at least where I am.
AphoticDevI used to be a big Pepsi drinker, until I accepted that I was a big Pepsi drinker. Mostly eliminating sodas from my diet made me lose a fair bit of weight. I still have one a couple times a month, when the wife and I go on a date, but after awhile I just stopped missing the taste, as my body was presumably weaned off the sugar addiction. Eventually I started avoiding things that were sugary, because now if I eat too much sweets it makes me feel ill.
Im still a big guy, but my weight is slowly trending downwards, and I feel better now than I ever did before. It’s funny, they tell you that sugar is close to pure energy for the the body, but once I cut back on it I found I had more energy than I did before. I even started running last year.
Anyway, the point of my rambling is to tell you all that they’re all pretty much poison, no matter the brand, and you’ll start feeling better if you stop drinking them at all. If I could do it, so can you, and you’ll thank yourself later. I promise.
as a sugar addict i can assure you the cokes were not what made you fat.
its the sedentary lifestyle
It’s dead simple and I don’t know why people get it wrong so often. Calories in - Calories out. In other words, it’s both.
I wasn’t sedentary beforehand, I just happened to eat a lot of high-calorie food that I had no hope of burning off.
I’ve never had a sedentary lifestyle.
donut4everSodas in the US have about 6 - 7 times the amount of sugar as the rest of the world.
And? It's fuckin' soda, nobody goes in expecting health food.
And…it can be important to understand the specific nutritional content of things we put in our bodies and not think of it as a binary between “health food” and “everything else.” Otherwise if I’m not drinking water I might as well just drink kerosene, right?
There are also cultural and socioeconomic things to understand around how different industries operate around the world and how different globally-available products differ in different markets. Like how Pizza Hut in Japan offers a pizza with mayo and diced potatoes.
US coca cola has about 10.8g of sugar per 100ml, while european has 10.6g.
as a sugar fan boy i must say they need to add more
Do you have a source for that? I saw this article, and I know it’s not a great source, but it suggests that the US doesn’t even have the sugariest drinks. I couldn’t find a link to the original study, although I’m on my phone so I haven’t looked a lot.
Fizzy drink sugar levels vary dramatically between countries, says survey
Research highlighting the variation in soft drink sugar content around the world – a difference of as much as 29g sugar (7 teaspoons) per 330ml for the same brand in different countries - has been released by campaign group Action on Sugar.
