I am conducting a big study this weekend. I am doing it primarily to satisfy my curiosity, but I expect others will find the results interesting as well.
I am going to conduct an exhaustive taste-testing of all of the Coke and Pepsi cola drinks commonly available on grocery shelves and in convenience stores and categorize them by taste.
The colas to be taste tested and compared: Regular Coke, Coke with cane sugar, Diet Coke, Zero Sugar Coke, regular Pepsi, Pepsi with cane sugar, Diet Pepsi, Zero Sugar Pepsi.
This test will be comprehensive and will adhere to some of the standards and protocols associated with comprehensive and scrupulous taste testing studies that I found on the internet. I will disclose my findings on Monday, if I remember, later if I don't.

To make it more interesting, add rum to the mix.

I predict that both Coke and Pepsi with cane sugar come out on top.

Many years ago a friend and I did the same test, blind tastings but with fewer brands and varieties. The results weren't what I'd expected.
Nowadays I find myself more swayed by which type has the best bulk buy special offers.

Can’t remember the last time I had a cola. (Because it’s been a long while, not because of my faulty memory.

So, If I’m not drinking beer or soda, what am I drinking? Tap water.

After you have stopped drinking soda pop for some time, like a couple of years, if you taste one you’ll notice they taste really weird.

I didn’t know they still made Pepsi or Coke. What about Fanta Orange? Do they still make that?

Enjoy your Coke and you can use the Pepsi to clean your tires.

When I was a kid, I liked A&W root beer. I haven’t had one in close to 50 years.
We live in a pop free environment.

I can't remember the last time I had a soda, unless you count club soda. Had a lot of cola as a kid and just don't have a taste for it anymore.

Study completed.
I took Bill's advice. They all were wonderful. Not just tasty, they produced some wonderful insights into life and other stuff. I wrote the best ones down, but now I can't make any sense out them. Only word I can make out is "dog". So, that must be important.

When I was 14, at summer camp in the Adirondack mountains, I was introduced to the root beer float with vanilla ice cream, at the local Tastee-Freeze or Dairy Queen or independent soft serve place somewhere around Long Lake, NY. A&W root beer was not far behind. I haven't had a cola or a root beer in decades.

You might want to conduct another study, Paul, and included Dr. Pepper on this one. Apparently, Dr. Pepper has tied Pepsi for number two amongst soda rankings. As bad as Dr. Pepper is, anything ranked three or lower must be really nasty. |
