• Coca Cola vs Pepsi

    From Ayane Kitagawa@VERT/ALLEYCAT to All on Sun May 30 20:20:42 2021
    So, the subject asks it all! I know in the US you guys have like, terrible drinks with corn syrup instead of actual sugar, but I feel the overall experience is the same? I have been living in Ireland (born and spent most of my life in Japan) so I am used to whatever formula served here.

    Personally I don't often drink the regular ones because in Ireland there is an extra cost on drinks with a certain amount of sugar, but if I wish to splash the cash then I go for a Coca Cola. Maybe my 22 year old taste needs more refinement, who knows.

    So, what do you guys prefer and why?

    corn syrup is super sweet. real sugar is a totally different taste. i believe in the usa they use beet sugar. doesnt taste the same as regular sugar to me.


    anyways, stay away from sugary drinks. they are bad for your teeth.

    When I was younger I liked Pepsi. But in my old age, I like Coke better
    now. Coke has more of a kick that I enjoy and Pepsi now tastes too sweet
    to me. :-)

    I used to like Alimerka's white label cola drink. It was manufactured in Spain, so it seemed fitting.

    Then I realized my country didn't deserve my support so I stopped caring. I drink water for the most part anyway.

    I typically drink either very cold water or hot coffee but when I do decide
    to go for a soda I'll take Pepsi over Coke anyday. Pepsi doesn't seem to have that 'seltzer' flavor that Coke has. Also some of the recent racial comments from Coke's corporate offices aren't something I agree with them doing. I'd rather support Pepsi.

    Are you talking about the "Be Less White" slides? Thanks for the warning.

    It looks like big soda manufacturers are tainted these days. With Cocacola Company sold to the woke
    crowd and PepsiCo Spain in the Basque area, it looks like I can only buy soda from people who
    doesn't hate me if I go with a small manufacturer.

    Maybe it was a good thing they raised the taxes on sodas. Screw these people until they beg for
    mercy, then screw them some more.

    On 30 May 2021, Ayane Kitagawa said the following...

    So, the subject asks it all!

    Growing up as a kid we were a Pepsi family. I remember coming home from the store with two 24-can cases of Pepsi. One diet (for Mom) and one regular for everyone else.

    Doesn't look like you can buy those 24-can cases anymore, it's all 12 packs now.

    I know in the US you guys have like, terrible drinks with corn syrup instead of actual sugar, but I feel the overall experience is the same?

    Yeah, most pop here in Canada is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.

    There's also this trend where you can now buy 4 glass 355ml bottles of "premium" pop for $6 that's made with "real cane sugar", as if that somehow makes it more healthy or taste better? I'm not sure how the economics of
    that work out, but 12x 355ml cans is usually $4 or $5 (about $0.42 /can)
    where as the same stuff, but sweetened with cane sugar is $0.67 /glass bottle. Both are 355ml.

    To my (unrefined) tastebuds, I don't *really* find too much difference
    between coke & pepsi. It's just cold, fizzy, sweet, brown water. However
    one cola that really does light up the pleasure centres of my brain is
    jarritos mexican cola. It's still just cold, fizzy, sweet, brown water, but
    I quite enjoy it, but that could be just because I usually drink it while eating a burrito.

    Personally I don't often drink the regular ones because in Ireland there i extra cost on drinks with a certain amount of sugar, but if I wish to spla the cash then I go for a Coca Cola.

    One of our provinces just announced a "pepsi" tax coming down the pipe, 20 cents per litre:

    Hello Arelor;

    Are you talking about the "Be Less White" slides? Thanks for the
    warning.

    Any company that puts a racial group above OR below everyone else deserves
    to be put out of business for their practices.

    It looks like big soda manufacturers are tainted these days. With
    Cocacola Company sold to the woke crowd and PepsiCo Spain in the Basque area, it looks like I can only buy soda from people who doesn't hate me
    if I go with a small manufacturer.

    Just like politicians, so are big corporate businesses. Look at the corruption in U.S. politics - a pedophile in the oval office who rules based on who does what with their genitiles while he's grooming kids for his own pleasures but
    to hide that puts the LGBTQXYZPDF folks ahead of everyone else because of
    what they do, even if they're in the minority.. and others who call for violence against natural citizens because they know those citizens will never ever vote in favor of them but never get cited for their crimes. Big business is NO different as Coke has proven. They may as well promote rape and
    murder - to me their claims are the same.

    Maybe it was a good thing they raised the taxes on sodas. Screw these people until they beg for mercy, then screw them some more.

    They haven't here... yet. Being in the heart of liberalism (a true
    mental disorder) it's only a matter of time. It's been discussed many times already.

    It's helpful to quote the part of the message you're replying to so it's easier for people (especially the person you're replying to) to follow the conversation.

    I tend to prefer Pepsi, as I like the taste better than Coke. But sometimes I like a cherry Coke.

    In the San Francisco bay area, taquerias began selling "Mexican Coke", in

    of high-fructose corn syrup. This started in the early 2000s.

    I thought Coca-Cola has started producing Coke for the US market using real sugar. I didn't think there's a real need to import Mexican Coke to the US anymore. Other brands (such as Pepsi) are making versions of theirs with real sugar too.

    I've looked at the ingredient listing and all coke usually indicates hfcs.. however, during passover, at the grocer store in the kosher section is coke which has been made with cane sugar. Only then can you find this. Naturally, I load up on a few bottles :P

    It's my understanding that only the Coke sold in the glass bottles is made with real sugar.

    So I wonder how Pepsi would get away with having containers that say "With Real Sugar" if they don't use real sugar..

    Wikipedia (which may or may not be correct) says Pepsi uses both cane sugar and beet sugar..

    I tend to prefer Pepsi, as I like the taste better than Coke. But sometimes I like a cherry Coke.

    I really don't like colas any more, haven't for a long time now. Like most hamburgers, they leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    If I'm going to drink "sugar water" (as Deuce puts it), it's usually iced tea (Peach Snapple being my favorite... still), but mostly just coffee and water.
    Does this mean I'm officially old now?

    Probably not. They're pretty popular and I enjoy *eating* a good hamburger, but I always seem to regret it (the aftertaste and feel). I'll still eat one every once in a while, but I usually opt for chicken or fish instead. I like a good bison burger too. When I do eat beef, it's usually prime steak/rib, but it's not every day or even every week. I like pork (e.g. carnitas) a lot too.
