I have drank cola all of my life and have tasted dozens of different types. I have tasted store brands, local brands, and generic brands, but I always go back to Coke and Pepsi.
I must say that I have always enjoyed Coke better than Pepsi. Pepsi is your basic cola and many cheaper brands come close copying Pepsi's cola flavor, so it is not that unique. On the other hand, Coke is very distinctive. I have yet to find another cola that even comes close to the taste of Coke. A few years ago, Pepsi began selling Pepsi Spice during the Christmas season. This comes close to duplicating the unique flavor of Coke.
Whoever has ever tasted two or more colas at the same sitting, knows that unless you drink something non-cola to cleanse your palate, the colas blend together and they taste almost exactly the same. I first tried the Coke versus Pepsi test as a child and back then I could not guess which was which and ended up choosing Pepsi, even though I prefer Coke. This most recent test went differently. This time, I named both Coke and Pepsi correctly and chose Coke. However, after eating a sandwich and going back to the colas, I could not tell the difference! Even though Coke and Pepsi taste different, they are still both colas with cola used as their bases, so their flavors blend together.
Coke is definitely spicier than Pepsi and it also is a lot more carbonated. I wish Coke were less carbonated, as the CO2 bugs my stomach. If I let them go flat, Pepsi does so a lot faster than Coke. Coke always has a frothy golden foam that appears when it fizzes. Pepsi has a slight froth, but it is nothing compared to Coke.
I love the colorful Coca-Cola artwork and logo compared to Pepsi's art, which just seems a bit plain for my tastes. Coke's packaging just draws my eye faster. And at Christmas time, Pepsi just cannot compete with Coke's distinctive Santa Claus. I even collect Coke toy trucks that ship during the holidays. Pepsi also uses Santa, but it does not hold a candle to Coke's version.
Price is not a factor because most supermarkets sell 2-liter bottles of Coke and Pepsi for $0.99 each.
While there are diehard fans on both sides of the age old Coke versus Pepsi debate, I still have to go with Coke.
