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

Both are horrible.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 23/01/2021 07:11

Pepsi is gross, coke every time

DinosaurDigestive · 23/01/2021 07:13

Proper Coke is definitely the best! Smile

DinosaurDigestive · 23/01/2021 07:13

None of the zero sugar nonsense for me! Grin

georgarina · 23/01/2021 07:14

Have only tried diet but diet Pepsi is definitely sweeter. Don't really mind either.

takingwhatineed · 23/01/2021 07:16

I always preferred coke - or so I thought. I did a Pepsi v coke taste challenge and it turns out I prefer Pepsi max. Who knew!

Girlintheframe · 23/01/2021 07:20

Diet Coke every time

shitinmyhandsandclap · 23/01/2021 07:25

Diet Coke for me, really pisses me off when I ask for DC and I get Pepsi when out. I got told it was the same last time I was served it when I complained. It is not the same and I can tell the difference, I really dislike Pepsi

Snoozysnoozy · 23/01/2021 07:26

Coca Cola, especially if I'm mixing it with JD or Captain Morgan

Newbie1999 · 23/01/2021 07:30

Pepsi is too sweet, and tastes a bit soapy. Coke for severe hangover emergencies, Diet Coke for all other times.

GingerChips · 23/01/2021 07:31

Coke is more carbonated and has less syrup. Also it has a lemony taste I don't like. I prefer Pepsi as it's sweeter.
I'd have Wild Cherry Pepsi over anything else. (Not the weird Max version.)

Kottbullar · 23/01/2021 07:51

Coke is the best.
Pepsi is cloyingly sweet, and always seems a bit flat. Like a melted Cola ice pop.

All of the crap with sweetener is nasty, max, diet, zero. Sweetener has such an unpleasant aftertaste.

TeamNegan · 23/01/2021 08:07

It does go really flat quickly but ice cold fresh Pepsi is better than Coke for sure. Fizzier and sweeter!

Absolutely no diets, zeros or maxes here. Sweeteners are vile! I still live in hope Lucozade will realise that it is NOT “the same great taste” Envy

Changemaname1 · 23/01/2021 08:12

You know until recently I’d have said Pepsi over coke ( diet varieties )

But iv been turned !!!

Non diet coke is fkin rank makes me want to heave .

Littlebeach · 23/01/2021 08:13

Pepsi Max cherry is my drink of choice, we but Pepsi Max also. We would never bring coke into the house as its just not nice!
Diet Coke tastes so flat (flavour wise) like it’s brown water with some sort or taste that was there once. Full fat coke just makes my teeth feel all fluffy, only ever drink it if I’ve swallowed sea water when I’m swimming and it’s vile.

DragonflyInn · 23/01/2021 08:34

Just when you thought mumsnet couldn’t get any worse! YABVU! Proper coke all the way. Smile

PottyRuddy · 23/01/2021 09:44

No way, Coke every single time. I find pepsi has a really weird taste. I wouldn't even choose it if there were no Coke left ✋😂

CakeRequired · 23/01/2021 09:46

Get out. Sign out, delete your account, never come back. Grin

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 23/01/2021 09:53

Oh no, Coke all the way.

And none of these fat/sugar/caffeine/"healthy" options rubbish. If you want to be healthy, you drink water. Fizzy drinks are not there to be healthy, sweeteners are even worst than the original anyway. It's clever marketing but so wrong.

Pepsi is yuk.

Chemenger · 23/01/2021 09:54

@FrankiesKnuckle

I like a can of Pepsi but a bottle of coke.
Only if it’s a glass bottle.
juneybean · 23/01/2021 09:55

Full fat definitely coca cola, pepsi is too sweet. But I am a pepsi max addict.

PivotPivotPivottt · 23/01/2021 09:56

Pepsi is definitely better. I also like Aldi own brand cola/Pepsi max and Barr's cola Coca cola is my least favourite.

ooohbriefcase · 23/01/2021 09:56

@LochJessMonster

Apparently in a numerous blind taste tests, the overwhelming majority preferred Pepsi but when they were labelled, people chose Coke.
@LochJessMonster I read somewhere that a lot of food companies use the colours yellow and red as it makes you want the product more. Apparently seeing the colour red makes you more hungry and the product taste more appealing than other colours. Could be completely untrue of course but given what you said about the blind test it makes sense. Grin

I vote coke.

Emeraldshamrock · 23/01/2021 09:56

I prefer pepsi max over coke zero.
I don't like either of them in full fat very sweet.

ooohbriefcase · 23/01/2021 09:58

@LochJessMonster also coke tastes 10000000000s times better straight out the red can, so the strategy works on me Grin
