Coke or Pepsi,and your favorite pop.

[Stryker_ELM02^K]

i know this was probly asked earlier, but which one do you guys like better "Coke" or "Pepsi". And waht is your personal favorite soft drink.

Personally i like Coke, but my favorite ever was Jasta, what ever happened to jasta, it was rockin.

[jardine]

Vernors or Canada Dry. Ginger ale is yum.
I can't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. But Coke takes the rust off nails, which is amusing...
Usually I just stick with water or juice.

[Kenishiro]

Minute Maid.

My ex-roomie(this foreign exchange student from Japan) used to say: "I see that you like drinking a little girl. That's very interesting."

My American mind would think: "I'm not perverted or a pedophile."

Then he would say: "Minute maid...get it???"

[Salami Swami]

COKE, MOTHERFUCKAAAA!!!
Pepsi is wack. Too sweet.
Coke bites ya hard when you down a really cold one.
Dr. Pepper is right up there too.
Gotta be COLD. Best is put 'em in the freezer right up until that frozen point.
I'm a for real soda addict.
Look at all the silver in my mouth.

[jen_er_ator]

i flip flop between the two...sometimes i'm in the mood for pepsi, sometimes it's coke. fountain coca colas are the best though...

[Robocon^^]

Anyone but half and half cream in their cokes? Kind of a Coke-float flavor.
Orange soda w/cream = liquid Creamsicle. Yummers

[ninjaKid]

hellz yeah . . . i can drink that shit allll day long. i used to drink one before i went to bed in college.

but . . . it's SODA! not freakin' "pop". "pop" is what they drink in norman rockwell paintings. geeez.

anybody like the Jones' sodas? i looooove them too . . .

-ad

[falcor]

coke with lots of ice. pepsi is way too sweet.
i also like 7up better than sprite or slice or sierra mist.

i know, i was making fun of this canadian kic that lives on my street. The first day he came over my house, "want to come over my house (he said it like huse or whatever) and have pop. I thought it was the funniest shit. Also i didn't wanna say "soda" for some reason, and i wasn't gonna say "your favorite carbonized beverage."

[jen_er_ator]

you could have said, you favorite high fructose corn syrup beverage of choice.
pop is for loser midwesterners like me, and thank jeebus for letting me live in california for awhile to let me see the error of my ways.

When I was little I used to drink the little cream thingies they have in restaurants straight from the plastic mini-carton. But I think once I drank too many and it cured my love of half-and-half forevermore. *shakes head at the memory*

Oh, and being a midwesterner from birth I was raised to say pop. I know it's uncultured and retarded sounding, but hey. At least it's onomatopoetic! Now if I remember I'll say "sodapop" as a compromise.

A bunch of friends and some people in my family work for Pepsi, so if you go to their house "Coke" is a four-letter word. I can drink either though. I have found that warm Coke from a can produces the best belches.
I don't drink ginger ale unless I have to. It reminds me of when I'm sick and my mother pushes ginger ale and saltine crackers on me...

[FatCoaster]

You guys remember JOLT!? That junk would rock you into next week. Was a great substitute when you couldn't get ahold of your dealer. Mellow yellow was one of my favorites too and it's making a comeback. But the king of all kings is...... Diet coke.

Ahh... soda. Er, pop. Whatever.

I like Canada Dry ginger ale too. But on the subject of Pepsi versus Coke, I often choose Coke. Pepsi is waaay sweet and induces many burps. I got into drinking Diet Coke because I started to find regular coke too sweet. Go fig. A cola of any sort is essential when eating pizza.

For the caffeine addict in you (listen up, Jolt drinkers!), <a href=http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/caffeine.html>this website</a> for a plethora of caffeinated drinks you can order! They even carry Jolt in many flavors, but there are more to be seen and tried! (open up a can of Whoop Ass!)

I'm from the midwest and I've always called it soda. I don't what's up with the rest of you.

Soda water mixed with a shot of flavored syrup is sooooo good! Strawberry and vanilla mixed together's nice.

[ironmonkey]

cherry 7up is my fav, i also like grape soda, and orange soda and sprite. and for the record im a coke man! fuck pepsi!

everyone should drink sprite.

remember when shan battles krs in that boxing ring?

[Natecore]

Damn, so many, how could I ever pick just one?

Cola category, call me crazy, but i like safeway select a lot. Pepsi over coke, tho.

Vernors ginger ale is bomb, but hard to find. I coughed so hard the first time I tried it. Strong!

Actually, many of the safeway sodas are good, pineapple, fruit punch, all that jibba jabba.

Then, Japanese sodas, don't EVEN get me started; mitsuya cider, melon soda, it goes ON.

i like coke with a couple slices of lemon. lemon is good with your 7-up or sprite too. It gives your regular fizzy carbonated water a nice punch. or hot lemon and honey for your poor sore throat! lemon in that ice tea.

yes, i prefer coke over pepsi.

[wutangy]

this post brings back memories... when i was kid, i liked Fresca. remember that shit? it was like citrus-y ginger ale. i had some a few years ago, and it tasted like complete ass. i couldn't believe that my mom let me drink that shit when i was a kid.

i also remember that this kid in my elementary school, alex tu, drank a whole six pack of Jolt before school one day and puked all over the place. ah, serves him right- he was the school bully.

as for the pepsi v. coke. my preference changes, but i do agree that cokes from the fountain are great. my friend once told me that pepsi struck a deal with the USSR where they would only carry pepsi in the entire country. so, a lot of russians of today drink coke in spite of the communist regime. anyone know if there is truth behind this?

[fmstlr]

In HK, there are some strange variations in how soft drinks are consumed:

1. Boiled Coca Cola - Yes! (No shitting you) boiled lightly and add a wedge of lemon. Drank hot.

2. Schwepp's cream soda with milk - drank ice cold.

by the way, anyone here got the taste shock when you get over the border to Canada and drink a can of Coke or Pepsi? It tastes much sweeter (way too sweet for my taste) in Canada. Do you know why?

Is it because we use corn syrup here in the USA and they use cane sugar? Can some of you Canadian check out the label?

[Ryan]

i still remember going to the coke museum waaay back when..this one section had all fountain dispensers for variations of cocacola and other drinks from all over the world..they got some nasty ish around there

anyway goin to atlanta then with all its propaganda..ive decided if there was ever such a thing as an evil empire, its coca cola

[neku74]

coke vs. pepsi? definitely coke, pepsi's too sweet.

favorite soda pop (haha, my dad always says that) is "bitter lemon". can't find it here in the states, although its made by schweppes and sold everywhere else in the world. last time i went to singapore i stole a six pack of them from the business lounge and people were staring at me as if i were a beggar. it was worth it!

Dirty Pop.

[kamenriderv3]

My favorite poop is water.

[brucelai]

Hmmm...cast my vote for RC Cola too...I even did the Pepsi challenge and had three cups, one with Pepsi, Coke and RC. I chose the RC. Coke came in second.

I also love Cactus Cooler. I haven't yet found anything that tastes like Cactus Cooler. Unique AND refreshing. Yeah!

[Panthor]

I'd have to go the ever unpopular Mr. Pibb, funny thing is I hate Dr. Pepper.. go figure

There is also this rootbeer that I used to drink all the time but I can't remember what it is called, I think it is call ICR or something like that. Anyway they had the best creme soda and an orange creamsicle soda that was awesome.

[Old_Skool_Yukio_Mishima]

alas, when I used to drink soda I loved RC Cola, it does taste the best, especiallly with some Jack Daniels.

This stuff rocks!!
besr with a extra greasy Kabab OOHHH the mighty coke and garlic burps!!

[shagwerks]

My mom used to give me warm Coke when i was a baby/little kid and had an upset stomach. Later, as a poor country boy in Missouri, we drank the hell out of Shasta (I want a pop - pop -pop- i want a.. Shasta!) because it was cheap. Rc Cola was a big one too. Pepsi was too soft and sweet and girly.

Then came high school and i started exclusively drinking Jolt and popping Vivarin. That was ugly.

Now i'm hooked on Coke from the glass bottle (they still make 'em here) with Korean BBQ or.. this new Korean stuff called Yellow Cola (I didn't make this up) that looks like it sounds. A clear plastic bottle looks like a urine sample but tastes kinda lemony. So - yum yummy.

[Shogun]

Coke.

[kid_robotron]

Cherry coke.

Used to drink Jolt, but I cant find it anymore. It used to be sold in 24 hour garages (gas stations), 7-11 or any place that served the living dead.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020521/ap_on_re_us/coca_cola_allegations_1&printer=1

Workers: Coke Reselling Expired Soda
Tue May 21, 6:14 AM ET

DALLAS (AP) - Several employees of Coca-Cola Co. have accused the soft drink maker of repackaging nearly out-of-date soda cans and bottles and then reselling them at stores in minority neighborhoods.


Coca-Cola officials deny the allegations, which they said were not brought to their attention internally.

One worker who made deliveries to stores in predominantly white and black Dallas neighborhoods said the practice was widespread and well-known when he started working as a Coca-Cola merchandiser in 1993.

Llewellyn Hamilton, 49, said so-called "near-dated" items were shipped from white neighborhood stores and sold at a discount in predominantly black and Hispanic stores.

"They'd lower the price and ship them to the black and Hispanic area stores," Hamilton told The Associated Press on Sunday. "It was common knowledge that we'd recycle it to that neighborhood."

For example, he said about-to-expire 2-liter containers of Coke that sold for $1.19 were marked down to about 69 cents.

"I thought it was strange," he said. "They (customers) knew it was something they had to drink right away."

Rick Gillis, division vice president and general manager for Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of North Texas, located in Dallas, said that after a newspaper reporter brought the allegations to their attention about two weeks ago, company officials conducted an internal investigation and spoke with everyone involved in the supply chain.

"We believe without a doubt that these allegations are totally without merit," Gillis said.

But Hamilton said company officials knew of the repackaging and did nothing to stop it. "You'd get those 'don't ask no questions,'" he said.

Kenneth Newsome, a dairy manager at a Sack-N-Save in Oak Cliff, said Coke merchandisers took near-dated soda off the store shelves and repackaged it in the store's back room.

The old soda also was put into the store's vending machines, said Newsome, who has worked at the store for 16 years and first noticed the repackaging about five years ago.

Hamilton now works a new route, delivering drinks to five grocery stores in Garland and Mesquite, both predominantly white suburbs of Dallas. There, the policy on about-to-expire soft drinks is much different, he said.

"If it gets within a month of going out of date, we ship it out," he said. The aging soda is then returned to the bottler, he said.

Bob Lydia, president of the Dallas branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (news - web sites), said the organization is still investigating the allegations.

"To this date we have not come up with a final (determination) on this," Lydia said. "We need some hard fast evidence before we make that claim."

diet coke

but back in the day i was cuckoo for some grape soda. would do wonders for me. thee bf dubbed it my *elixir*

[GalleryGirl]

Finally a topic where I can say I'm an expert. I stopped drinking sodas in February but before that I sware I consumed it like mad. When I was a kid I learned to drink soda for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it was the first thing I went for when I got out of bed. Yikes right? Just think of all the empty calories. So... several times in my life I've gone cold turkey but then gotten back into it again but this time it's going well and I've been drinking nothing but water for over 2 months. Yea me.

but if I wasn't restricting myself I would be drinking the following.

In a cold bottle : Coke
In a cold can : Pepsi or RC
From a 2 liter bottle : Dr Pepper with shaved/crushed ice
From a fountain: Mug or Barqs Root Beer

I've also been drinking only caffiene free soda for 3 years now. RC doesn't make one though, which makes me sad.

They were giving out free one litter bottles of vanilla Coke at a grocery store here for PR purposes I suppose. I didn't get to try it but my sister did and said it really wasn't all that great. I'm pretty sure it's widely available now.

My favorite pop, other than Diet Pepsi, is this ginger soda from Bermuda. It's pretty strong but the flavor and the aroma is delicious. Don't drink too much of it though. It definitely has the potential to make one sick if consumed in large amounts.

[nikel]

kimchee, the ginger soda sounds tasty.

these are all good, not too sweet: henry weinhard's root beer, vanilla cream, and orange cream.

I've seen (and bought) vanilla coke at various Ralph's in LA. It taste like cream soda, but the A&W one is much better. I think I only like it for the novelty.

Anyway, I like Japanese melon soda. I can't find that anywhere, so I have to recreate it myself with midori and spirte.

I have an uncle that drank Mountain Dew like it was going out of style. By the time he was 24, he had an ulcer (and no, it wasn't from stress). Carbolic acid isn't a strong acid, but it's acid nonetheless. Acid that you're adding to the acid that youalready have in your stomach. Cola's useful for eating rust. Mechanic's that can't get rusted nuts & bolts loose let them sit in cola overnight to loosen the oxidation. And it certainly could be an urban myth, but supposedly a tooth will dissolve into nothing if left in a glass of cola overnight.

Eric: I saw Vanilla Coke here (Madison, WI) in a convenience store the other day. I wasn't thirsty so I didn't pick any up, but I'll post a review next time I see some (it was a 16 or 20 oz. plastic bottle, if that makes any difference).

ok..this is an old trick...some of you might already know this...you know how you put ice cubes in coke or any form of soda....and after a while it's water down. Instead of using "water" for the ice cubes...replaced it wif soda. So then the flavor will last longer.....and dab a bit or lemon...and you set.

The title of this thread is curious. The word "Pop" is used to refer to Soda. I thought this term was one used typically in the midwest, where as we Cali/West Coast headz used the term Soda. I cant ever remember anyone other than peeps from MLPS or there-abouts saying "Pop". Is the thread starter from the midwest perhaps? Anyways, I just had a brief conversation about this with my fiance who happens to be from MLPS. That's why i bring it up. Anyhow, I've always liked Barqs.

[slackerbot]

soda is a west coast thing. pop is an east coast thing. coke is a southern thing, even though you're ordering a 7-up, it's still called a coke. i don't know why. :rolleyes:

Just had a Vanilla Coke. It's OK and so is Dr Pepper. I like cold IBC Root beer but you can't get it over here. My favourite soft drink is lemon or pink grapefruit Lucozade Sport which is non-fizzy. I also like Peach and Kiwi & Strawberry Snapple.

There were a few months where I was in college where I drank 4 cans of Coke a day. Blech.

have you ever had a real vanilla coke made with vanilla syrup?

[strawberry1217]

I've had various 'phases' where I always drank only one kind of drink. When I was really little I only drank apple juice, then I moved onto Ribena, then Orange Fanta when I moved to Bangkok. Then Coca Cola, then Sprite. Then Coke/Sprite/A&W root beer. Then Dr. Pepper.
Now if I ever drink soda I tend to have diet coke/diet vanilla coke/cherry coke/Mr Pibb. I also like lychee juice, cafe latte soy milk, chocolate soy milk, milo.. But I drink water most of the time.

I recall having a Vanilla Stolli with ginger ale and it tasted like CREAM SODA. Awesome! I love those not-quite-girl-drinks. the Whiskey Sour, the Manhattan, the Gimlet...

Damn you are hard core, making your own flavoring and all. All this work for a vanilla coke! ^_^

well I'll have to try your creation... where would you get the vanilla beans though?

[liquid mass]

Yeah, it varies. But they are not cheap.

If you use my concoction in drinks, it's still alcohol so it will have an effect on you.

I also use it in cooking where vanilla extract is used.

I've had this before. I liked it.

It's nice to taste a different cola once in a while.

Definitely, I was pleasantly suprised it tasted so good when I was given a free sample one time. Unlike most american soft drinks, the sugar flavor doesn't smack you in the face. I'll compare it to asian pop where the flavor is more subdued. The citrus effect makes it tastes like Japanese candy.

[Thirty Nine]

Pepsi--and it's family of products--until the end of time. Aqua Fina is the best.

[remotecontrolalligator]

this weekend i came up with the best soda creation of all time.

three parts cactus cooler
one part mountain dew code red.

try it, you'll like it!

Favorite sodas, in no particular order:

Hey-Song Sasparilla: classic Taiwanese soda, like root beer but 100 times better

Apple Cidra: another classic from Taiwan

Harvey Wienhard Cream Soda: may have misspelled the name, but it's the still the best cream soda ever

Senorial Sangria: awsome Mexican sangria-flavored soda, very intense flavor


I LOVE Hey-Song Sasparilla. i dig that sort of metallic taste that makes it different from normal sas. and it's not to sweet. Apple Cidra is awesome too. it's a shame they're so expensive though, as i can only find them for like 60-70c/can or so at 99. :(

moxie is definitely an acquired taste. i didn't like it at first, but after a while i enjoyed the unique flavor. it's kind of a new england thing.

what is everyone's favorite diet soda?

[fygar]

There is no finer carbonated soft drink than Black Bear Blue Raspberry soda.

[35ft6]

First off, let's just all agree that Coke is superior to Pepsi in every conceivable way. Thank you. With that said, the soda I can't live without is Diet Coke. It's like medicinal and shit.

[shawgirl74]

I second that^

[coxon]

anyone drank a softdrink/soda from a mini carry bag with crushed ice?

(eg. thailand)... first time i saw i thought it was quite funny...

[Robocon^^]

I've only seen that in travel videos.

[badrocket]

diet dr pepper. good stuff, way better than d coke imo

[slackerbot]

i actually like Sierra Mist. not as bubbly as 7-Up and not as sweet as Sprite.

hey does anyone know where that soda pop market is? apparently, there's a market / store in LA that carries all types of soda from all over the world. nothing else. i saw it on tv once, but forgot the name of the place.

[DJ LunchBox]

I prefer TAB myself.....

[emilie]

i hardly ever drink any dark soda. coke leaves an after taste and pepsi is just too fizzy.. .something isn't right about it. but once in a while, i'll drink a coke. and pepsi with lime or lemon can be good too.

but i drink ginger ale. and i think orgina can be classified as 'soda'.

[stranger]

pepsi in a can rocks but coke from a soda fountain tastes better then coke in a can.. It all depends they have these smaller european/asian sized, coke in a red bull type can. Coke tastes a lot better in these smaller cans :)

[shammy718]

all the time..when i lived in the philippines.

btw, i still get cravings for sarsi!

[DJHydrogen]

When I was geting fat, Diet Vanilla Pepsi renewed my faith in humanity, and I come from a lineage of missile engineers.

[beanie]

i drink wild cherry pepsi.

[Jook Sing Vegas]

Coke all the way, Pepsi products always seem extrmely sweet(MT Dew and variants) But i do like Aquafina over Dasani because the big mouth opening on the 1.5 liter bottles are grat for chugging down.

[mpyre]

Usually Diet Coke since there's nothing in it but lately I've been keen on Vitamin Water-Energy. I got hooked on it after getting a free one at the last ASR show.

[35ft6]

Somebody was telling me they read that during the height of the Cola Wars, when every Pepsi commercial was about a blind taste test, the people at Pepsi knew that if people just took a little sip, they tended to like Pepsi more.

BUT!!! If they took more than just a sip, the more they drank the more people preferred Coke Cola. So their commercials weren't technically full of shit, but in a way they were.

I prefer Coke. I love Coke. It's one of the best tasting things around. But I try not to drink it too much. Hollywood is fueled by Starbucks and Diet Coke. Without them this town would grind to a halt.

[shibire]

Mug Root Beer. 7-up. And I prefer Pepsi.

[nikel]

How is Coke with Lime?

Very true! I was in a near panic when I went to Berkeley for a graduation a few weeks ago and I couldn't find a Starbucks within walking distance of the ceremony.

I think I blow $8 A DAY at Starbucks.

Oh, and I reach for Diet Coke all the time.

Mexican Coke fans say cane sugar gives it a sweeter flavor than the corn syrup in the U.S. version.
love this shit

from http://www.beverageworld.com/beverageworld/headlines/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000632881

High-fructose corn syrup is actually sweeter but it leaves a film in the mouth. That film automatically diminishes your palate, blocking the sweetness. [Sugar cane] sucrose is cleaner and crisper. So if you are used to Coke made with corn syrup, the difference is striking.

pepsi is pretty good, but it really ain't shit for mixing...you ever tried a jack and pepsi?ewwwwwwwwwww

kinda like a 7&sprite....ewwwwwwwww

That reminds me...

I bought juice in a plastic bag with a straw from a guy with a cart the FIRST time I was in Malaysia! That was, like, 18 years ago!

It was awesome!

doooh...my usual order: $6.90 for a venti white mocha with 5 shots plus a cookie and a one dollar tip.

Sometimes I hit them twice a day (morning and right before hitting clubs/bars). On a long day trip to LA last month, I hit 'em 3 times...

[montyburnz]

Anyone ever try Inca Cola? An internet restaurant reviewer was raving about this Peruvian cola. I want to know what it's like.

[YelloKitty]

i've tried it, but i guess it wasn't memorable because i don't remember it being anything special.

[wuheavy]

I prefer Coke over Pepsi.
But there are some really great sodas out there:
Boylan's
Hansen's
Whole Foods 365 brand, the Cherry Vanilla and Orange Cream are great.
I like the sodas that use cane sugar instead of corn syrup. They taste much better.

[golivar]

i love it. i think it's mexican, though. coca cola bought them a few years ago, so it's usually pretty easy to find. bodegas have it, and so do some bigger supermarkets that have an "ethnic" section.

in the seventh grade i brought a can of it on a field trip and the teacher freaked because the label design looks like it's for beer or something.

oh yeah, it's very similar to cream soda, but maybe a bit tangier or crisper? you know how cream soda always seems flat...? and it's this weird artificial gold color.

[woojoemao]

I love me some South American sodas.

Usually I'll pick up a six pack of malta, but today I noticed that there was some sangria flavored soda on sale.

It's not horrible but I really prefer drinking actual sangria.

[Jack]

It's weird to me that a lot of people order a "cola" instead of a "coke" even though we serve Coke.

[shawgirl74]

I tried Diet Coke with Splenda because I don't want aspartame anymore. I don't like the way it tastes so I guess I'm back off the junk. :(

Unless there's rum around. Then I might risk the brain cancer/cirrhosis one-two punch.

[rgcam]

Coke is thinking about bringing back Tab in certain US markets. Has anyone ever tried the stuff? When I lived in NYC I used to find it in the bodega at my corner, but was always a little scared to taste (considering production was stopped in like 1987).http://home.epix.net/~tjwagner/tablogo-color.gif

[golivar]

you've never had Tab?

it's a really horrible diet soda. just tastes like chemicals. it was the standard high school teacher drink. they always had a can of Tab or Fresca on their desks.

[charlos3000]

lately: sidral mundet & coke zero

[rgcam]

Apparently I've haven't lived until I've consumed TAB?!

I had Guarana Antarctica from Brazil the other day. Very interesting, though it doesn't taste like berries. The more I drank it, the more I liked it.

[ChenZan]

Coke all the way. preferably the fountain drink form.

[Telephone]

I have just discovered the existence of this.

Get. The. Fuck. Outta here.

I must and will acquire this at any cost.

[yamchild]

i've had it before, bought it at bevmo. it's kinda yucky frankly, but it could be an acquired taste.

[SR20]

Sarsaparilla or die.

[lakeside resort]

had the $2 for two hot dogs, chips, and soda deal at IKEA today. the Lingonberry soda is refreshing and delicious.

[Telephone]

So I'm on the Manhattan Special site trying to order some of that espresso soda and a 12 pack costs 16.95, which I guess is not too bad.

...then I get to the checkout and see that the shipping and handling = $21.95 :eek:

All them heavy glass bottles.

Ah well... :(

Coffee soda just sounds like such a genius idea! Just want to find new and delicious ways to make my heart explode from all that extra caffeine and sugar.

[nagasawa]

$40 for soda?!

[Telephone]

Exactly why I didn't order it.

No soda is worth that much. :mad:

how much for just some soda in my hand?

I love this stuff. Hard to find though. Random delis and bodegas have it. Once contemplated buying the 28oz bottle of it in a neighborhood market. It was the last one, but it was dusty and sitting in the back of a broken refrigerator.

[feralmuppet]

Back in '96, Pepsi tried selling a coffee-flavored cola that you were supposed to drink in the morning instead of coffee. They called it "Pepsi Kona" and it went nowhere.

[randall fairbrook]

it went down my gullet twice ..and that was enough to decry this beverage as a playa hata

[nagasawa]
