You must pick one – bonus points for telling me more about your choice.
Me? I’m a Coke girl all the way. Most people I know are Coke people, and I wonder if it’s a regional thing. Where I come from, “Coke” includes all flavors and colors of the fizzy drink category, as in:
- “Get me a Coke.”
- “What kind?”
- “Sprite.” *actual conversation
Sadly, at some point in the last ten years, after moving out of Texas, I switched to “soda” as the all-encompassing category. Doesn’t make me less of a Coke person though. It’s my go-to medication for migraines and hangovers, and NO, Pepsi does NOT cut it. Not even close.
So what’s your choice: Coke or Pepsi? Leave a comment below by next Thursday and you’ll be entered to win a 5×7 print of this photo, taken on our recent trip to Lapland (where I had a hard time finding a Coke, those darn Pepsi people…):

Coke, of course!
Coke all the way!
I too am a coke girl! Funny story, when I flew through Texas all they had was Pepsi at the airport. I refused to drink anything because pepsi? Ew!!!! Pepsi taste so sugary sweet to me I just don’t like it. I always joke that I should have bought stocking Coke years ago.
I’m a Coke person. Pepsi is only okay if there is no alternative. I don’t like Pepsi anywhere nears as much as I like Coke because Pepsi gives me a bad aftertaste, and I think it’s far too sweet. Actually, Pepsi tastes like Coke left out for a couple hours. Yes, Pepsi tastes like flat Coke to me.
Yes!! That’s exactly it! Pepsi tastes like flat Coke! I had never put that together before.
Really? I always thought that. It struck me when I had some Pepsi one time many years ago that it tasted just like the Coke I left open a bit too long.
Coke. Pepsi is too sweet! Plus, Coke goes with everything — whiskey, rum… 🙂
I would have to choose Coke but need a shot or 2 of whiskey added to make the perfect drink. Pepsi is a no go for any occasion except maybe in a survival situation.
Coke. With sugar. No sugarfree stuff, no HFCS, real sugar.
I can see why people like Pepsi, because it’s so sweet, but Coke, being less sweet, has a bit more nuanced flavour to it and is better if you’re thirsty.
I remember having tried Schweppes Cola once. It had a slightly cinnamony taste, AFAICR. I’d like to try it again sometime, but I have a feeling that’s not going to happen.
i’m going to be a total shit here and say…. i have no business commenting on this one because i haven’t drank either in 20 yrs…… but i will say…..
YEAH I WON LAST WEEKS THIS OR THAT!!!! i NEVER EVER WIN ANYTHING!
