My mother has a small store here in our backyard. We sell both coca cola products and pepsi cola products. I noticed that most of the people here likes coca cola products. I ask them the reason and most said that coca cola products taste better than pepsi cola products. For me, I prefer pepsi cola products than coca cola products. Aside from coca cola products are more expensive than pepsi cola, I like the taste of pepsi cola more. Coca cola taste good only when it is super cold. Pepsi cola taste good all the time. I also think that coca cola has lots of sweetening than pepsi cola. How about you? What is your choice?

I worked for Pepsi before and i didn't like it there. lol! So Coke for me. lol! Well let's say i didn't work for Pepsi... maybe back then i was just denying to myself that Pepsi is better but then i think Coke has been a superior brand around the world. Pepsi is superior too but it's always just below Coke. I really don't have to go to Coca-Cola plant to know the quality of their products but Pepsi just sucks when it comes to that. At least here in the Philippines. I was on sales and my superiors admit that quality has beaten them. Even store owners. I've had a lot of chat about them and some storeowners were just short of pushing us away. lol! There are lots of exclusive Coke stores around town and we have to go to the mountains to sell Pepsi. What the...

I used to drink pepsi's all the time, in fact that's the only product that I did drink. Years ago I started drinking diet coke because I wanted to lose some weight, now I can't stand any drink that has a lot of sugar in it. Why does coca cola products cost more then pepsi products were your at?

There was a study done I think, regarding the Pepsi Challenge, where people tried drinks without knowing what they were. In the Pepsi Challenge, Pepsi usually comes out on top (I think it's actually sweeter than Coke). However, as soon as people know which is which, say they can see the can, Coke usually wins. Coke did something similar, where they did a blind taste study between Pepsi, Coke and a third beverage, which was sweeter than either. The third drink came out on top, and Coke decided to replace Coke with this new drink called "New Coke." It was a disaster. As soon as the blind testing stopped, it didn't do anywhere near as well. So, it seems that brand is more important than taste. I prefer Coke incidentally.

All my life, I have always preferred Coca-Cola sodas. Classic Coke is the best, in my opinion. The taste is its own - this is the only way I can explain it. Pepsi tastes too sweet. Even the diet sodas, Diet Coke, and now Coke Zero, are much, much better in my opinion. I only ever buy Pepsi sodas if I have no other choice and I really want something. Otherwise, it's Coke for me, all the way. :)

Growing up we always drank Pepsi products. I grew up in a small town and pepsi was the main beverage carrier. Now a days , since I've been all over the place, I'm finding that they're pretty equal. I drink both now. Currently I try to drink more Diet Coke because I am saving up the caps for Coke Rewards and want to earn as many points as possible. I am starting to prefer the taste of Diet Coke over Pepsi these days too.
