Silliness An eternal question : Pepsi or Coca-cola? - Page 9

Solitaire1 · 08-30-2017, 04:12 PM

When I was younger I had a slight preference for Coke over Pepsi but not enough to pass on one over the other. Which ever one was available at the restaurant was fine. As I've gotten older I've found that I like the drier taste of Coke over Pepsi.

However, I recently stopped drinking cola due to the caffeine affecting my sleep. Instead, now I prefer a strawberry, root beer or a lemon-lime soda (depending on the meal, I avoid a lemon-lime soda with seafood). But I avoid diet sodas of any type.

But I prefer juices (cran-apple, apple, and grape) over sodas. For me, they taste better than sodas.

I like BioZisch lemonade.

There are about 30 different BioZisch variations.

Other than that I prefer Pepsi over Coca Cola.

I grew up just outside of Atlanta, so its Coke for me. After that its Dr. Pepper, root beer, ginger ale, and cream soda.

It's not really a soda but I like the Pamplemousse La Croix too.

Dr Pepper, it's owned by Pepsi so I voted for Pepsi.

Actually it's not. It's independent.

Are there any english translations of the commercial?

Coke. About once or twice a year. Otherwise coffee, tea, water. And a mix of very little apple juice and a lot of water for cycling.

It's just loads of empty marketing blather. But their website has an English version:

Diet Pepsi. Regular Coke. Diet Coke tastes terrible and I really only drink Diet sodas now.

Ours are on sale too. Some stores have limits some don't.
You could get 8 if you both go to the store. Or you could do multiple purchases. You could be on a coke run for a party.

Sales like that happen quite frequently around here - brand name at 4 for $10 and store brand at 5 for $10. I go for the store brand and get an extra 12-pack for the same money

We have three locations around here. So you could really stock up if you wanted to.

I highly recommend Coke Zero Sugar.

We have similar sales around here.

Meanwhile, the 20 ounce bottles in the refrigerated cases at the supermarket have undergone another price increase and now cost $1.99 each. The last price increase was a couple of years ago. I like picking up a bottle for the ride home, but not at that price. They are much less expensive at the Costco and Walmart vending machines, so I still have one occasionally.
