Can You Taste The Difference Between Coke And Pepsi?

[ladyforsaken]

Hmm. Sounds interesting. I might try that some time. Interesting. Wonder why those cans in my fridge have not been consumed if they're so addictive! Lol. Someone in my home must be strong-willed enough to drink that and not finish it all quick enough.

It's their secret stash if the main supply runs out. Pop-Eye had reserve cans of spinach for dire situations. This is very similar, I'm sure.

 

[ladyforsaken]

That makes total sense.

 

[perfanoff]

Pop-eye?

Suddenly it all makes sense!!

 

[ladyforsaken]

Yeah. Popeye was smart.

I have 2 cans of Monster Energy in my fridge, I don't know who they belong to but no one's drinking them for months now. Are they evil drinks? What do they do? Give you a heart attack??

They're just a standard energy drink, taking from the Red Bull energy drinks market but delivering it in a full size can. It's more taste than true energy, but it does come with the caffeine, taurine and glucose kick that made other energy drinks popular. Because it's both tasty and makes the brain feel alive, alert and "happy" it's quite popular, despite the problems it can cause to your body, none of which I'm an expert in but, increased heartrate being one of them, can lead to a heart attack. Typically this only happens when the person is stressed out, overworking and quite possibly drinking more than one can a day/hour. Regardless, it's nice. Try it but not the ones in the fridge, they're probably ready to dissolve small boulders by now.

Oh dear. That sounds scary lol. Do I want to try it? Not sure now lmao. I don't want to have a heart attack!

I can't even drink them. They turn my stomach upside down.

Pepsi is sweeter, while Coke is more acidic.

This. The difference is so easy to taste.

 

[Okiedokes]

I agree that Pepsi is sweeter. I like Coke better.

 

[Broken_Doll]

Yes, in my opinion there is a difference - I used to like Coke more, but I think I prefer Pepsi now.

 

[bulmabriefs144]

Yes, I could. Coke tasted more like carbonation, Pepsi tasted flat and sugary. I liked Coke better.

I say this all in paste tense, because in the last few years, I've progressively gone on a whole foods diet. First, syrupy sodas, and then after I got really sick, I've tried cutting out trans fats and fried foods.

Yay! At least one person agrees with me!!!

The Coca-Cola company owns so many things. It's a little depressing. I wish I knew why they needed four major brand names for individual energy drinks..I can find Monster, NOS, Rockstar and Relentless all on the same shelf.

Market dominance, I guess.


One thing I'll say about Pepsi is that it ages well. I'm not talking about treating it like a wine and sticking it somewhere for ten years before drinking it, but Coca Cola tends to taste manky a lot faster - I got a takeaway today due to starvation, and it came with a free bottle of Coca Cola and I can honestly say it tastes rancid..it's gotta be at least a month old, it's also barely fizzy. Compared to a past experience which likely rotted away a few layers of my stomach, when I finished college and dumped my bag in my cupboard, where it remained for about two years, and I found a half drank bottle of Pepsi in it. I'm almost ashamed to admit I drank it, due to being thirsty when I found it...and it was generally fine.

Or maybe it just instantly dissolved my tastebuds upon contact and I didn't really get a say in the matter of taste. Regardless...bleh.

I find Coke to be more sweeter then Pepsi. It's about Pepsi Light & Diet Coke
