Coke or Pepsi?

[McPaul]

That is the question

[nubbie]

Pepsi

[McPaul]

I suppose I should add...

I'm a coke guy... :)

[SuperCM]

Coca-Cola.

[rhainman]

coke

[tomtong]

coke for sure.

[temporalillusion]

I used to be a Coke guy, but the last few years it's been Pepsi all the way.

[AdidasROXX]

sorry dudes, pepsi it is

[eXpedite]

Do a poll. More effective.

Coke for me too!!!!

[adwoodw]

regular pop: coke
diet pop: diet pepsi

Diet coke doesn't taste like coke at all. Diet pepsi, on the other hand, tastes very close to it's sugared cousin.

Yeah, do a poll... that would be cool..

I used to drink Coke... and still if those were my only choices... but I like Root Beer... or Iced Tea.... but now I just like plain old water!


Ooops... just noticed a Diet Coke Vs. Diet Pepsi Poll thread! :)

Man... I find coke leaves too much sugar on my teeth.

[HighFlyer]

diet pepsi. coke/pepsi is too sweet

[enforcerviper]

pepsi.. although this poll has already been done.

[9394]

Lemon Diet Coke!

[david_zan]

I feel Pepsi has more sugar than Coke. Personall, I prefer coke.

[Gee]

I took the Pepsi Challenge in the 80s.

Coke won.

[yiggy]

Coke, it's sweeter to me.

[MrDisco]

i used to like pepsi but now it has to be coke, particularly lime or vanilla coke

[Gee]

Worldwide, Coke is the clear winner. However, PepsiCo as a company has more than double the assets of Coke Cola Company.

Pepsi is a smart company, they are heavily diversified. They own Taco Bell, Pizza Hut etc.

Coke rules as far as fountain sales. Both companies have been buying up the competition for the last two decades. The cola wars continues.

However, there is a new enemy on the horizon.

In 1980 the CEO of Coke Cola said he was not afraid of Pepsi. He claims his real enemy is

WATER.

Nestle is the new enemy.

[wesleyw]

I really don't have a preference over one or the other. Pepsi tastes sweeter and has a longer after-taste. I will take whatever if available. But if they both are available, and only those two, then probably coke.

[AudiDude]

Coke x infinity to the power of infinity!!

[wiggy]

Coke.

geez, 1980? talk about foresight... I don't remember anyone drinking bottled water back then - now it's everywhere so he was absolutely right.

[jed]

The new Lime Pepsi has way more lime taste than Coke, IMHO, plus I really like that Pepsi Advantage with Sucralose. Pepsi all the way!

[Absolute]

Why do people like to bring up dead threads all the time? Do the purposely look back a couple of months and just choose a thread?

Anyways, Pepsi.

[Iron Chef Ajax]

coke.

[jagaur]

coke

[keanefan]

new product:
Coke with LIME is my new favorite.

go try it. it's excellent.

regular coke used to be my favorite. now it's Coke with Lime.

vanilla coke is so-so. bought it once, never bought it again.

[chellemi]

coke, but i really like c2 as well.

tried coke with lime.. didn't really like it. :-0

[atb1o1]

Don't really taste much of the lime in coke but I still like it!

Coke!!

[puff_daddy_58_99]

pepsi > coke
diet pepsi > diet coke

my favs are diet pepsi twist and the now gone pepsi blue. That stuff was awesome!

[Hurk]

Diet Pepsi > Diet Coke
Coca Cola > Pepsi

[hagbard]

Either one will destroy your teeth and rot your guts (speaking from experience here).

[Max_Dealing]

The classic coke with some lime, ice, and rum. :D

[Absolute]

Personally, I find that when I drink Coke I feel like it's coated my teeth in a sugary film. I don't get it from Pepsi though.

Yeah, but I think that is why people like it so much!! MMMM sugary teeth!!!

that is what I like about Coke. I find pepsi does not have enough caramelly flavour to it. it is just a carbonated brown drink.

might as well be 7up with tea.

[muffin]

Classic Coke for sure, been drinking it since i was 6 and still loving it :cheesygri

I really don't like the lime-coke. It has not flavour to it and i thought i was drinking some cheap immitation of coke or something.

[wanted]

I'm not going to reply to this thread.
Can't decide !!!

[me!]

I find that President's Choice does make a good imitation of Coke (and Pepsi) and is cheap, but is not a cheap immitation of them.

But lately, i have lessened my pop intake, and gone to the carbonated waters such as club soda. Better for quenching thirst on the really hot days. Downing a Coke really makes you more thirsty sometimes.

[Brandon]

In 1980 the CEO of Coke Cola said he was not afraid of Pepsi. He claims his real enemy is

WATER.

Aquafina = Pepsi owned
Dasani = Coke Cola owned

Pepsi for me though (not for water, I like Montclair and Nestle ... non-demineralized water for me).

[vladislav]

Neither for soft drinks, either for water.

[AudiDude]

Sounds like you need the original stuff, before the likes of the "New Coke" and "Coke Classic". Guaranteed to leave a huge brown stripe down your tongue!

[alkapone]

...as an investment....Pepsi....along with their confections. :D

[Tiberius]

Coke is the market share leader due to.... Marketing.

In blind taste tests, Pepsi always comes out on top.

Strange how that works?

Even in my own mind, Coke is the #1 brand/name in the cola world.

However, I have chosen Pepsi in every blind taste test I have ever done. Therefore, I prefer Pepsi over Coke.

What do I purchase and drink?.... store brand cola... PC Cola, etc. Mix it with Alberta Premium and it's a wonderful brew ;)

Maybe I'm wrong. But I believe its different.

Pepsi spun off their restuarant business years ago. The company is known as YUM Brands Inc. ticker - YUM

From digging around.. Pepsi does not even own a majority share in YUM. Instead, they provide them with all products.

....................YUM.................PEPSI..... ...........COKE
Market Cap---$14.85B............$6.99B..............$102B
Profit ------- 8.34%..............4.06%...............22.15%
Revenue -----$9.10B.............$10.99B.............$22.15B
Total Cash ---$192m..............$250m..............$7.3B
Free Cash ----($34m)............$638M.............. $3.92B


Coke's market cap is 14X greater then pepsi's. With Yum combined with Pepsi, then its still no contest.
But you have to consider that, Pepsi has no ownership in YUM.. if they do, then its very very little.

BTW.. I choose Coke.. i think pepsi tastes like medicine.

[me!]

Well actually, I just meant Coke before they brought out the "New Coke" and "Coke Classic", but whatever floats your boat. :lol:

The funny thing is I remember an interview with three old men who fought to bring original Coke back after Coke released it's New Coke blend. They took the Pepsi challenge and chose Pepsi. What a bunch of morons! Further proof that old people just try to resist change for no reason.

I've always been a Coke classic fan. But PC's knock off brand is very close.

[Fifster]

Definitely Coke for me. And gotta have it ice cold :razz: Pepsi is too sweet.

[N1_EVO]

When I saw this thread, I could not decide but then again, its most likely Coke...Sugar Rush..aahahahaha~!

[dirkpitt]

I've got to say Coke.

The days when Classic Coke wasn't around were sad times... I remember that the "new" Coke it tasted a lot like Pepsi, which to me, tastes like Coke which sat on the counter overnight with the lid off.... :-P

Something seems wrong with those numbers?

Pepsico (PEP) has a Market Capitalization (in millions) of $ 90,895

That does include all of their businesses... so Frito Lay, Gatorade, Tropicana, Quaker, Aquafina, and the rest of the drink business.

They had about 30 billion in revenue for 2004.
Pepsico Beverages North America was 8.3 billion of that revenue.
Pepsico Internation was almost 10 billion.
Frito Lay and Quaker North America was over 11 billion (mostly Frito Lay)

As a stock, Pepsico actually is better rated than Coke. Mostly due to the snack food business Pepsico has, and their better position in non-carbonated drinks (water, power drinks, etc.)

Something seems wrong with my #'s??? your right.. I did a search for Pepsi, which came up with a ticker of PGB.

So yes, Market cap for pepsi is 90B.

Well if you take a look at what these companies own, its just stupid. They are all conglomerates, who are making billions.

Here's a link for the beverage market cap leaders.

Coke!

[birdiegirl]

well if that is the only to choices then coke
its less sweet

Pepsi.

Although I usually buy the store brands or Dr. Pepper, I have to agree with a lot of people on here that Coke leaves a weird film on my teeth. I find Pepsi to be more refreshing.

I love that weird feeling on my teeth. This way I can enjoy the flavour long after I finished my Coke. Kinda like finding bits of food stuck between your teeth.

[fishlips20]

Although Coke leaves that weird filmy feeling in your teeth, at least it tastes alright.

Pepsi is over carbonated. Are they trying to hide the fact that there is little taste in their drink. I feel like their technique is almost ninja-esque. Distract the consumer and redirect their attention away from the flavour.

Seriously, if you don't like the Coke aftertaste/film try Coke C2.

[g-squared]

Coca Cola!

Maybe i'm just being really old fashioned and traditional...but I like to stick with the classic stuff.

Mind you all, I still drink pepsi if there's no coke..just that i prefer coke more.

Pepsi has good advertising though. Their ads were probably more appealing to young ppl with their celeb filled ads.

[162]

Coke for mix - Pepsi straight up!

Pepsi has been around a long time too. I'm old fashioned and I drink Pepsi, although I'm trying to get away from it because of the caffeine. I like orange and grape sodas.
IMHO, Coke doesn't satisfy my thirst; Pepsi does. Plus, Coke makes me feel really bloated after I drink it.

That is your cue to let out a belch so low and loud, it rattles your neighbours windows. Then crack open a fresh one and reload. :lol:
