I’d rather drink water, instead. However, problem is I can’t really drink warm water. It has to be cold water and it has to be completely tasteless. I am not into the whole flavored water bandwagon and even a mild odor or flavor in water puts me off.
In any event, therefore, many times it is a choice between Coca Cola and Pepsi. Now, many people I know are equal opportunity soda drinkers and will pick one or the other and couldn’t care less. I can’t drink Pepsi anymore. Its taste sucks. Coca Cola has a crisp taste, which although is highly unhealthy as well, at least doesn’t make my mouth turn to dust later on. What the heck are Pepsi folks putting in their drinks now? I don’t remember it to be so crappy. If only Pepsi is available, then I’d rather not drink anything now.
I am sure most of you can tell the difference between Coca Cola and Pepsi. Do you have a preference for one or the other? Or anything goes?
ps. I am talking about Regular/Classic drinks. Don’t get me started on the sucky diet versions of any of the drinks. They taste like children’s flavored cough syrup.
I actually prefer Diet pepsi over regular pepsi, and no it’s not becoz i’m on a diet but that I like the taste (guess I’ve gotten used to it–drinking it since I was 12). From time to time, I’ll get something different just for a change, like berries n creme soda, right now classic Coca Cola is what I like, but I’d prefer not to start on the habit of drinking regular. As it is I drink way too much diet pepsi :hinna:
Oh shoot.. this Cherry Coke is absolutely the worst for me. And these honchos at Coke have made Cherry coke cans exactly the same as Classic coke. Eejiots! I can't even eat those frozen cherries that they put on cakes, so cherry-flavored drinks are an absolute no-no. Fresh cherries, I love.
I think part of the problem is that all these caffeine-flavored coke sorta drinks are actually fairly lousy taste-wise. If you drink them warm, you will appreciate how bad they taste. The only reason we like Coke etc is bcz we are used to it, as we have been drinking it since bachpann. I can't ever develop the taste for Dr Pepper either. They all taste crap. Fruit-flavored drinks I can develop a taste really easily (all those Snapple drinks excluding iced tea flavors).
AQ unkil, now that you mention it, I suspect we should get *madhosh *after drinking Coca Cola. Cocaine will do that.
Also, if I recall correctly, once you put Coca Cola bottle upside down, look through a concave mirror while standing on your head wearing brown banyaan and white chaddi, the words Coca Cola will turn to mean “Elvis is Alive”. Wallah o Aalim. All these kaafir drinks…
Mmmmm Cherry Coke. My husband LOVES Dr. Pepper. I like it too, but not as much as Cherry Coke. Both often feel too sweet.
For a while, in college, I had soda all the time. Same when I first got married. We had no sense of discipline. Now I've cut back a lot. The only soda at home is the "all-natural" 7UP, and I have the occasional Coke when I go out.
Anyway, Coke over Pepsi anyday. That's the real point. And for those who say they taste the same, you must be kidding. I've done blind taste tests a million times. I can definitely taste the difference.
Dun forget Faisal, if you take the coca cola logo and fotoshop it it means [insert anti-Islamic slogan that pigeons will use to say that all Jews are evil and out to get us]

afterwards I didn’t dare and changed myself.
