No way. I took the challenge.

 

[Brett Wyman]

Pepsi people are always the odd balls. Prove me wrong.

 

[Hunterr]

Pepsi is better than coke.

 

[Carol_]

You’re all wrong.
Inca Kola in the glass bottle, cold, beats all by a mile.

Most of the time I read these boards now I am wondering whether or not The WDW 3 is a real person.

Shanghai Disneyland serve Pepsi instead of Coke

I’m not big on soda but coke is always number 1.

I did have a Pepsi with pizza carry out recently. Soda preference is gingerale. Sprite is tolerable. Don’t drink any other sodas besides those 4.

 

[Metro West]

I'll drink both but prefer Coke.

I agree this section should be reserved for on topic threads like how the Wrestlemania match between Ricky Steamboat and Macho Man Savage was the greatest of all time!!!

I would go with Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25. But Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 6 is one of my all time favorite matches. But still, Steamboat/Savage at WM3 is still a classic. Definitely the best match from my childhood.

Keeping on topic...I'm a Pepsi guy, and I'm not from the south.

I wish WDW would switch back to Pepsi. The only time I don't drink soda is when I am there. Not sure if it's the Coke brand or whatever way they are preparing it but it tastes bad to me.

 

[TLSnell1981]

Open a Pepsi, 20 minutes later it tastes like it's flat.

I disagree. It tastes flat period.

 

[LSUmiss]

It's big in the south. Not for me though. I'm a Diet Coke gal.

Wait, what south? Not anywhere around here. I thought it was the opposite. Only ppl I ever knew who drank Pepsi were from the Midwest (and to us we say those ppl are “from up north”).

Pepsi played a huge part in the development of it's a small world, at the urging of one Miss Joan "No Wire Hangers EVER!!!" Crawford. It's actually a pretty interesting story.

Interesting since Coke was one of the original sponsors at Disneyland. But all the Disney projects at the World’s Fair were separate from the theme parks.

As for Pepsi, at one time (perhaps still today) Coke dominated the US fountain drink sales, while Pepsi led in packaged sales. With a few exceptions (sometimes franchises get exemptions) the only major US fast food chains with Pepsi are the ones that were previously owned by Pepsi - Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut (not really fast food though).

Now Dr Pepper is odd in how it’s distributed. At least around here the packaged versions are distributed by a Pepsi bottler through a long-standing deal. I’ll find Dr Pepper at fountains that mostly serve Coke or Pepsi.

Pepsi is huge here in its home state of North Carolina.

Coke was invented in Atlanta. Down South every carbonated drink is referred to as coke.

 

[BrianL]

Eh, those in Atlanta/Georgia probably would agree.

Yeah, no kidding! I've lived in the South all my life and it is clearly Coke country. I see more Pepsi out west. Here we call all soda "Coke" - "what kind of cokes do you want?" Coke is king here! Pepsi is always the shoddy alternative.

You must be referring to taste, because it looks like Pepsi a few hours after I drank it.
