Only proper full sugar Pepsi though, none of that diet rubbish.

I was going to vote YANBU, because all Coca Cola is inferior to its equivalent in Pepsi.

Then I noticed you've totally dismissed my preference, Pepsi Max, because it's "diet", so it's a reluctant YABU from me. Sorry.

Diet Coke tastes like Diet Pepsi with something missing.

Not keen on any of the Maxes.

Diet Pepsi for the win 🏆

FrankButchersDickieBow · 23/01/2021 01:28

Pepsi max is the best.

Eliards2012 · 23/01/2021 02:53

Pepsi max is definitely the winner!

vodkaredbullgirl · 23/01/2021 02:55

Got to be pepsi max.

Monkeytennis97 · 23/01/2021 02:56

I agree.

Pepsi
Coke
Cherry coke
(Very cold only) cherry Pepsi Max

Diet Coke is vile

CentrifugalBumblePuppy · 23/01/2021 02:56

Pepsi, Pepsi Max or Diet Pepsi. Much better than the brown wee that is Coca Cola (probably the biggest battleground between husband & me. That, and his liking for flappy warm bread, not proper toast. The savage).

Diet Pepsi

Taste that ginger!

grassisjeweled · 23/01/2021 02:58

What actually is Pepsi Max? Caffeine free? Ugh

GammyLeg · 23/01/2021 03:41

Well Coke has the edge (only just) on Pepsi in terms of environmental damage, I'd give them both a swerve.

Taikoo · 23/01/2021 03:59

Pepsi is too sweet and it isn't as fizzy as coke.
It goes flat really quickly too.

Littleroundsponge · 23/01/2021 04:04

Pepsi Max for me!

Hotzenplotz · 23/01/2021 04:05

@LochJessMonster

Apparently in a numerous blind taste tests, the overwhelming majority preferred Pepsi but when they were labelled, people chose Coke.
Pepsi is vile.
GeorgiaGirl52 · 23/01/2021 04:32

Don't know if you people can get it, but if you have a chance, try a Doctor Pepper. The Diet Dr. Pepper tastes the same as full sugar DP, and both are better than Coke, which is 100 times better than Pepsi.

LouiseTrees · 23/01/2021 04:53

Full fat coke =Pepsi. Diet Coke> Diet Pepsi . Pepsi Max > Coke Zero. So a win for each and a draw.

LouiseTrees · 23/01/2021 04:54

Sugar free not caffeine free, that’s an entirely different thing. You can get caffeine free versions but I agree they are ick
DramaAlpaca · 23/01/2021 05:07

Pepsi is too sweet for me. Coke Zero all the way.

MysweetAudrina · 23/01/2021 05:20

Coke Zero for me Pepsi max for dh and never the twain shall meet.

joystir59 · 23/01/2021 05:25

An occasional diet Coke is acceptable. I rarely drink sweet fizzy drinks.

HeronLanyon · 23/01/2021 06:00

Agree with pp that Dr Pepper outranks Pepsi and even Coca Cola. So too would root beer.
Disclosure - don’t really have much of a sweet tooth so I drink maybe 5 cans of any per year but when younger these preferences were deeply ingrained. So mine is an historic (and maybe irrelevant with all of the new recipes/varieties) view.

Furrybutts · 23/01/2021 06:05

My treat each evening is a glass of Pepsi Max and a double Malibu.
Never drink it any other time as I love it far too much.

Tobebythesea · 23/01/2021 06:54

Pepsi Max all the way

Tobebythesea · 23/01/2021 06:56

I clearly remember doing a coke vs Pepsi taste test in primary school (can you imagine that happening now?!) Pepsi won for sweetness.

speakout · 23/01/2021 07:01

Pepsi is best, has to be diet though.

mogloveseggs · 23/01/2021 07:06

Dd and dm prefer Pepsi.
Why does everything taste better out of a glass bottle?
