The difference between the formulas for Coke and Pepsi is that Pepsi has more lemon flavoring and Coke has more orange flavoring. That’s really it.

Dr. Pepper leaves an icky aftertaste on someone’s mouth. Log in to see images!

hey, I learned something today!

I used to drink gallons of cola.

Dislike most of coca-cola products for the past 4- maybe 5 years.

Last time I drove down to the States, I bought bottles of Coke and Pepsi at the last gas station in Canada and the first gas station in the States. I did a blind taste-test for ****s and giggles. American Coke tastes like Canadian Pepsi and American Pepsi is almost too sweet to drink. American Coke also lacks the same sharp bite that Canadian Coke has.

A little research explained it; Canadian pop uses refined sugar under the name glucose-fructose (so parents don’t go “oh no, sugar” when they look at the label*) while American pop uses high-fructose corn syrup instead of sugar.

Regardless, they all make my teeth sing.

*Or “oh non, sucre” if they look at the other side.

I’m addicted to Coca Cola Light. Last time I went to the USA, there wasn’t Coke Light, only Diet Coke and Coke Zero, and both of them suck. I can’t stand regular Coke either, or Pepsi. I do love Ginger Ale though.

I don’t think there’s a difference between German Coke Light and US Diet Coke

What, no love for the generics? Grape, orange, and red cream soda are awesome.

Grew up on Faygo and Royal Crown Cola. Generic generics.

There is no way you actually know this. Nobody that works for either corporation that could know their secret formula could possibly have access to the other corporation’s secret recipe. This makes a direct analysis of the amounts of essential oils used in both products impossible.

****, Safeway? That’s posh shopping, there! We just used to shop at Aldi’s, when I was a kid…

River Cola… though I liked Aldi’s River Iso Light much better

”Times completely honestly, Cola tastes genuinly not at all times so bad. Should not be to warm evenly, then that already fits”

God, your country sucks dude. I’m not trolling. I just got back from there, and it really sucks.

*pulls out machine English to human English translator*

In human English:

To be honest, cola isn’t all that bad. But it is if you drink it when it’s too warm.

Back on topic: I hate Dr. Pepper, love Coke, and hate Pepsi.

Up here in Michigan you can find “Mountain Holler” (Mtn. Dew) and “Dr. Thunder” (dr.P).

For my money, I love Dr. Pepper and Canada Dry ginger-ale. Both are great as mixers or on their own. And if I’m in North Carolina, I score a 12 pack of Cheerwine.

Yeah, I’ve seen both Dr Skipper and Dr Thunder. It wasa long time ago when I wouldn’t buy them simpler because their name ****ES ME OFF! I dunno why. No, no, I get the point, similar to the brand name but not quite to avoid copyright issues. But the names… there is just no creativity behind it. Skipper? What the hell? DOCTOR SKIPPER? What the HELL IS THAT? Just think about it for a minute. Same goes with Thunder. Might as well call it Dr. Salt or Dr. Mrs. Dash.

I call just see it now: Sierra Fog or Sierra Haze. Or and A&Q Rootbeer.
