OK, I'll clarify mine.

Coke - Better tasting soda, sweeter, without an aftertaste.  More enjoyable.
Pepsi - too citrus-y, with a bad aftertaste

So, Coke - 11
Pepsi - 6

Well, I actually think the opposite. I think Pepsi's sweeter than Coke.

How about that?

"Citrusy" is a word that never crossed my mind as far as cola's concerned.

But that really goes to prove that perceived tastes/flavors are subjective.

Everyones tastes buds are different.  :)

Oooh. That's hitting below the belt.

People were so outraged in that 1985 fiasco because they share a passion for the all American icon and symbol to all that's good with the world.

They couldn't bare the thought of not having their Original, Classic Coca-Cola.  :)

Funny too because the ill-fated change in recipe flavored it closer to Pepsi. Hmmm...  ;)

Actually, that's a survey/study on how people call soft drinks regionally, whether they call it Soda, Pop, or Other.

What generic word do you use to describe carbonated soft drinks? (Note that these could be of any brand or type, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, 7-Up, etc. We are concerned with the overall word, not a specific brand.)

The Choices:

Pop
Soda
Coke
Other (please specify word)

So if anything, it proves that the people who choose to call their cabonated drinks anything else other than Soda or Pop, call it Coke!

Had they done a survey as to which region "drinks" the most of either Coke or Pepsi, the results would probably differ in only that the Coke margin would be greater and more widespread.  ;D

Hi Karen - no, that is erroneous !  There are 6 states and two territories.

Read Bobo's attachment here for further info,......

Quoting:
Well, there's the states, NSW, QLD, SAus, TAS, Victoria, and WAus, and then ACT (Australian Capital Territory) and Northern Territory, as far as I, the uneducated, and diminutive, am aware.
End Quote

Bobo is correct - he must have a good map (mind you, nothing has changed in Yonks...).  The ACT exists primarily because the country's capital, Canberra, is in it, hence the name...it is wholly located within NSW.

The Northern Territory recently had a referendum, and they decided against becoming a state proper.  The ramifications of becoming one or staying as a territory I don't know, as I am for the most part a political numbnut... ::)

All I know is that they ALL drink COKE

Except of course in the NT, where they all drink beer !  ;D  (Apparently it has one of highest per capita alcohol consumption rates in the world... :o)

Leaving aside the accidental aspect of this incident in the North African desert, it is still a fact that the soft drinks giant from Atlanta, Georgia collaborated with the Nazi-regime throughout its reign from 1933 to 1945 and sold countless millions of bottled beverages to Hitler's Germany.

Most of the time such typical anti-capitalist stories (which is what they are - oooooo those evil corps, nevermind they have <i>no</i> power over us like gov's do) are big misinterpretations.  That silly IBM book the other year, for ex.  Accusing IBM of helping kill Jews by providing database systems.  But what it turned out to be, if I recall, was an already-established IBM subsidiary taken over (naturally) by the German Nazi gov w/little control, and previously w/no knowledge about what the purposes were.

Do you recall the Pepsi infiltration of Soviet Union?  (Oh, that's right, no 1's as bad as the big bad Nazis.)  Or, do you think they helped <i>destroy</i> the USSR?

Watch what you read on the Internet, too.  There's alot of crap out there spread by people who really haven't done much work.  (For ex., an old co-worker scaring me to death about giving my pup Lyme Disease shots the other week - she thinks hers has epilepsy cuz of it.  "Look it up on the 'net!"  People on the 'net, likely those stupid holistic nuts, are spreading these stories and fears.  The vet had no idea what I was talking about, only what I already knew - our breed has a slight higher propensity for epilepsy.)  Citing ref's doesn't always prove anything, either, unless you know what they actually say - and look at it critically.

If they mean in a bottle, no, it's only been about a year or 2 I think.  Alot of these weird drinks have suddenly proliferated in the last 2 years.

I still haven't asked my mom but I'm sure they've had fountain vanilla&coke mixtures for ages.  But I'd never heard of them before, I admit.  My mom's biggest love was chocolate Coke.  And I knew they existed even lately cuz the few fountains that held out till the '80s easily supplied Mom.  Not to mention root beer floats and all.

Vanila, Cherry, Lemon/Lime have always been available in syrup form for those who like it added to their Coca-Cola in restaurants and diners. It's the old-fashioned way! IMO, it's much better tasting that way. I believe the canned version's taste is different altogether. As far as Vanilla Coke's concerned, it's only been available in the canned form recently. There are a lot of people who really enjoy it - believe it or not. I thought it was bland, but many people swear it's awesome.
