Coke or Pepsi?

[Allhallowsday]

No soda, it's poison.  Though when I was a kid, I'd drink anything carbonated and sweet, though the cola of my choice then was RC Cola.  I stopped drinking it when my dad ordered me to remove my collection of empty bottles. 

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

Coffee, but if I drink soda its Coke.

[Snivelly]

I've given up soda almost completely, I have to agree with Allhallowsday that it's essentially posion.  The high-fructose corn syrup is bad for you, and the aspartame in the diet stuff is even worse.  But on the occasions when I break down and indulge, I either go for a local favorite called Cheerwine (its' a cherry soda) or Dr. Brown's Black Cherry soda.

I'd pick a nice cold bottle of Canada Dry Vanilla Cream Soda any day.

almost all soda replaced sugar with High fructose corn syrup - questionable to it's health risks. That's why older people talk about how good soda's used to be back in their day...and it was more carbonated.

but try to find a soda with pure sugar vs HFCS (such as Goose Island from Target). major difference, now i only drink soda occasionally when i'm out somewhere (But mostly tea), and i only buy the real sugar drinks for home.

Hey Ash,

What part of the states do you live in?  I live in the northeast and unfortunately I can't find it anywhere around here. 

I was born, raised and still live here in Cedar Rapids,




And no...I don't live in a one room schoolhouse.  

But...I do live about 5 blocks away from the studio where Grant Wood, the artist who painted that design you see above, once resided.
It's near the building I live in and above a funeral home at what used to be called "5 Turner Alley".
I've visited it as part of the local art museum tour and it was really cool.

No kidding.  My father is actually from Iowa and I had an uncle who passed away recently there but my aunt is still out there.

Pepsi has flavour, whereas Coke just seems to be sugar in a can.

Pepsi probably is too.
But at least it doesn't taste like it !

Personally I prefer Sunkist Peach Soda and Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale (trust me it's nothing at all like any other ginger ale yo have ever drank.)
If I got to be pigeon held into choosing one of the two then being a good Southern boy, I'll go with Coke. It is stronger and has a better taste to me. I always found Pepsi to be syrupy and not as good.

[HappyGilmore]

For me, personally, it depends how I feel when I wake up.  Can't choose one over the other.  I'm more of a Mountain Dew man, myself.

Coke. It's the real thing, baby. Cherry Coke's even better, though.

I've been drinking that a lot lately. 

[JJ80]

I personally prefer Pepsi. Coke always seems a little insipid by comparison with it's rival beverages fuller, sweeter flavour.

I think i had a high fructose corn syrup thread some time ago.

Sugar-cane soda only.  So far the only options were I live are GOOSE ISLAND and JONES SODA

Check in the Mexican section of your grocery store sometime.  In ours, they sell sugar-cane Coke imported from south of the border.  It's helluh expensive, though, compared to the corn syrup stuff.
