    My dad prefers pepsi and is reasoning is sound.

    It’s less sweet and pairs better with lemon, which he adds to his pepsi. It’s less carbonated.

    I prefer coke. Extra fizzy. No lemon. Perhaps vanilla 😋

      Flavor is an opinion, but Pepsi is objectively sweeter than coke. It was a whole debacle with the Pepsi challenge.

        Definitely! I’ve got an odd ranking system for my pop preferences. I prefer regular Pepsi to regular Coke, Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi, but Coke Zero is the GOAT and ranks top of everything. Pepsi Zero is bottom of the barrel for me.

          Like, incomparably so… which is really saying something because coke tastes like a big spoon full of sugar with some corn syrup and a food coloring chaser.

            The stuff made in Mexico with cane sugar is still good, and better for cooking. Pepsi is much sweeter and I enjoyed it when they had the throwback version made with sugar but no thanks on the HFCS

            I like coke more as well but here in Europe it doesn’t have corn syrup so
