slo’s THURSDAY 5/8 poll - Coke vs Pepsi

[slo]

Coke vs Pepsi……this battle (I say battle loosely) has been going on for as long as I can remember. I don’t know if it’s talked about as much as it used to be. For many, once they get their favorite, there’s no changing it. For many, they will not deviate when their favorite isn’t offered, and many others will drink the non favorite when their favorite isn’t offered. So how about you? Tell us today…..Coke or Pepsi?

Is Coke or Pepsi your favorite?
Is Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi your favorite?
Will you drink your non favorite when your favorite isn’t offered?
(multiple choice)

*This is between the 2 sodas only, not what is your favorite soda, which may not be Coke or Pepsi.


For Me……I prefer Diet Coke more than Diet Pepsi (I don’t drink regular soda). I will drink Diet Pepsi if Diet Coke isn’t offered, but I don’t drink either if I’m not home, so it doesn’t matter to me either way what’s offered. Truth be told….i rarely drink Coke or Pepsi at home too. My DH is a big Diet Pepsi guy and when we go to WDW, he needs to stop at a grocery store and buy some to take to the resort since WDW is a Coke place. When we are in a WDW restaurant, he will drink Diet Coke.

What inspired this poll is we have a split house - DD21 likes Diet Coke and DH likes Diet Pepsi. Both are on sale at the grocery store and I need to buy both today since DD21 is coming home for the summer soon

Diet Coke for me.

 

[Dug720]

I'm a diet Coke girlie all the way.

If I order diet Coke and the server says "Is Diet Pepsi ok?" I say "I'll take water then."

 

[bobbiwoz]

I prefer the taste of Pepsi.

I don’t often order soda except when we go out for pizza on the Boardwalk. Then, I have to have Birch Beer!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

COKE and ONLY Coke - never ever Pepsi yes there is a difference and I don’t care for it just my personal opinion so if they don’t have Coke I will have a Dr Pepper or if they have a decent brand of root beer I will have that or I will have water but never ever will I have a Pepsi I am a horrible soda addict and have to really limit myself in my soda intake becausei I literally could drink my weight in it love my Coke

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I don't drink either, but when I used to long ago, it was always Coke for me, never Pepsi.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I like Pepsi better than Coke. But I will drink either one. I don't drink soda very often, anyway.

 

[TippyThomas]

Neither for me. We just didn't have soda as an option growing up.

Always prefer Coke products. Pepsi tastes too sugary/sweet to me. Places now serve one or the other but not both. If they only have Pepsi products, I will usually get their lemon/lime version which is now called 'Starry' but tastes exactly the same to me as the product "Sierra Mist" it replaced. No idea why they changed the name and all it seems to accomplish is create confusion about what product it is.

 

[EACarlson]

Diet Pepsi over all, regular Coke over regular Pepsi. I'm a diabetic so I only have the fully leaded about once a year. I'll drink diet coke at places like WDW where Pepsi isn't available but I also order in to have diet Pepsi in the room.

Same. I actually remember doing the "Pepsi Challenge" at a county fair when I was a kid. I picked Pepsi.

I rarely drink soda nowadays, but I do buy a six-pack of those tiny cans of real-sugar Pepsi when they're on sale, and keep them on hand for "nostalgia emergencies".

 

[Uncle Coaster]

I prefer Coke over Pepsi but my favorite soda is Mt Dew, a Pepsi product.

If Coke products are served I usually pick Coke itself over anything else unless Mello Yellow is offered, but that is rare to find.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I think my absolute favorite cola is the Coca Cola (Mexican) in glass bottles.

I usually drink the zero stuff, so the Coke Zero is my favorite in that area. I will drink Pepsi Zero too. Which reminds me I have a 24pack of that in my Walmart order cart because it happens to be $2 cheaper at the moment.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I much prefer Coke. I don’t drink soda often these days, but will have a Diet Coke on occasion, or even better, Coke Zero. If I’m in a restaurant that only has Pepsi, I’ll get something else.

I actually remember doing the "Pepsi Challenge" at a county fair when I was a kid. I picked Pepsi.

LOL, I did this in college, and picked Coke.

 

[Meriweather]

Diet coke is my preferred. I drink one can a day at home.....but I also can drink diet Dr Pepper or diet Cherry Dr Pepper.

Out....only diet Coke, no substitutions.

DH is Coke Zero.....but he will drink any

Okay first I thought you were speaking of the EPCOT area but birch beer tipped it. Jersey Girl? Hard to get in my part of NYS but there’s always Foxon Park!

We just didn't have soda as an option growing up.

Same here. Except ginger ale when you had a sore throat and it was rm temp and flat on purpose.

 

[Dan Murphy]

My preferred is Caffeine Free Coke Zero. No sugar, no added caffeine and with the slightly more bitter taste of Coke Classic than the sweeter taste of Diet Cole. It's not available anywhere but grocery stores. If out, like at restaurants, I rarely order pop, generally just water. If I do order pop at a restaurant, either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi is fine.

 

[clappyclaps]

I have no real preference over the two, I'd go with whichever is available - only the diet/zero stuff though. So Coke Zero or Pepsi Max. If both are available then it'll be whatever I feel like on the day!.

For me I much prefer the flavoured versions, I'll always choose these rather than plain if they're available. Vanilla, lemon, lime, cherry, raspberry etc, I'll take them all regardless of whether its Coke or Pepsi! My go to flavour though would always be vanilla Coke or the new cream soda and strawberries & cream Pepsi.

I squeal with delight when I discover a Boardwalk food stand that serves Birch Beer!!!
