Coke and Pepsi are the same???

I had someone take a picture of me hugging the Dr Pepper building in Dallas once. Every morning for breakfast I used to go to school and get a Twix and Dr Pepper. Then I'd sit on the steps by my locker and do the homework I should have done the night before. :lol Ahhh.... good times. The question I have is why the Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper tastes exactly like regular Dr Pepper while Diet Dr Pepper (which claims to taste the same) tastes like cold bath water someone spilled a flat Dr Pepper into? I just don't get it.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in...But I'm a Coke person. I can't handle the "sweetness" of Pepsi, and I like the carbonation in Coke. All in all, I guess I really can't argue about it being the same ingredients - just different proportions.

Drinking my Pepsi while reading this thread :o
 
I like Diet Coke, but not diet Pepsi and I can't figure out why:dunno
They both look the same when i pour them in the same type of glass:confused:

Now that I'm thinking of it :hungry:

how come I can't make my chicken at home taste like KFC ?
Aren't all chickens the same? isn't all flour the same? i have at least 7 herbs and spices to put in the mix and when it's fried it looks like KFC ...I'm so confused:(

:lmfao :rofl ;)
 
Give me Vanilla Pepsi over Vanilla Coke.

I can't drink Diet Pepsi either. Diet Coke tastes better, but is still nasty. The reason is that some people can actually taste the phenylalanine that is in diet sodas. Its what makes them diet and it has sort of a bitter taste. You have to have a pretty sensitive pallete to taste it, but its there. I'll drink it if its the only option, but that doesn't mean I'm addicted. I've been a heavy cola drinker for years and I'd know if they were addictive. :lol
 
Well yeah the basic ingredients are the same . But Coke & Pepsi are not one in the same . Coke is much sweeter.

Yet another very conclusive discussion.
At least we now know that Coke/Pepsi is sweeter.:confused: :)

Like I said in the leather conditioner thread, it's just like which wax is best.

Pepsi, Coke, and the diet versions of either are interchangeable with me. None are too great, none are too bad.

By the way...Where do you get a can of that FuzzJuice????? :fuzz
You get that stuff by losing a bet.
I have heard that in lieu of being banned for bad behavior you can drink a can of FuzzJuice. If you survive, you can remain a member.
If you can chugalug a can, you can remain a member and say anything you want about Fuzz.
So far, either there hasn't been any takers or else none of them survived.:D

Well, since it sounds like FuzzJuice isn't too "healthy", perhaps we can find other uses for it - and maybe the Fuzz can start Marketing it as 1) engine degreaser 2) SG 3) Leather conditioner.... anything else???

I have heard that coke is good for cleaning battery terminals.. any truth to this? (going back to a "coke" topic).... or FuzzJuice?

Probably, but a mixture of baking soda and water works great and won't leave a bunch of syrup residue like "soda pop".
I think I would keep the FuzzJuice waaaay away from my vehicles.:D

This can only be settled by someone getting samples of all the sodas in question and performing a blind test. Then they could write a review. :)


Charles - congrats on 3,000 posts. You have too much computer time (j/k). :rofl :lol

The blind test would probably work for the question of "Which wax is best", too. You could apply several waxes, blindfold some people and have them pick the "Best wax". That test would be about as conclusive as most.:)

Thanks. I hadn't noticed. Too busy typing.:D

You are absolutely right:), but that is going to change when the weather changes. It's 39 degrees here and rain showers predicted. Not my idea of a nice Spring day.

Coke has more "something or other" in it that makes it a better cleaner. In fact,
there are more than one sites that list other uses for Coke. That is just one. And I don't know how many of you are in the south, but anyone from the south knows that there is only one form of carbonated beverage and its called Coke. I once got offered a Coke out in east Texas. I accepted and they asked me if I wanted grape or orange. Not aware that every soda is called a Coke down there I didn't know exactly what to say. :lol

There is also the unexplained appearance of the Coke logo on a certian mysterious ring of power...

I'll never understand that one.
 
Hey, I found that out too. I went on a business trip to Atlana once, and all everyone served was "Coke". If you wanted anything else, it was just considered a variation of Coke. When at a restaurant there, instead of asking me what to drink.. the waitress asked me "What kind of Coke do you want?" That was funny!

And.. what kind of mysterious power does that ring hold?????
