The rivalry of Coke and Pepsi may be the longest and stiffest in competition of soda. But there never was a time when Pepsi had gained the lead. Maybe it's because of the taste of Coke. My favorite is actually Mountain Dew and my husband only drinks Coke in can, the regular classic version. What's your soda?
For me, my favorite is what has become known as "Mexican Coke". In the US, Coke is made with high fructose corn syrup. A couple of decades ago, a trade agreement with Mexico allowed them to import Coke into the US. Well, their Coka-Cola is made traditionally, with real cane sugar.... like when I was a kid. Plus, it only comes in glass bottles. The taste is absolutely better.
It would be coke, but with some lemon flavoring and also, as the above poster mentioned, any coke with real sugar and/or in a glass bottle is much better. That would also be true with Pepsi also, so when they are made that way, Coke might not be the favorite but one of the favorites.
I think coke has a sweet taste than pepsi, I do not like to drink sweet soda; So I usually choose pepsi instead of coke. Besides, sometimes I use fanta
I happen to be drinking a Cherry Coke right now. I like to drink a Dr. Pepper or a Mountain Dew to drink something different and to break up the monotony. But I usually keep a 12 pack of Cherry Coke in my fridge at home.
