I prefer Coke over Pepsi. To be fair, I prefer Jones's and RC Cola over Coke. Oh, and Moxie is still the greatest soda around. After all, it's a cure all. Okay, it's not. But it is technically a root beer, although made from a specific root. You know, I've never tasted Moxie. I don't think they sell it in Texas. From what I gather, it's very hard to find outside of New England. Almost all the Moxie I have was independently bottled by a Central PA based bottling company that has held the license for fifty plus years. I'd get it in big glass bottles with a twenty cent deposit. (They finally moved some of it into plastic) I've had a few cans every now and again that were from a different plant. But they were from a produce store. Gimme a Cel-Ray. I miss it like crazy, I wish someone imported it to the UK. I keep meaning to try Cel-Ray. The only place I see it really is at the local grocery and it's $6 for a six-pack, which is too rich for my blood. I mean, I'd shell out a buck for a can to try, but I don't know anyone else who's tried or is interested in trying the stuff.

Seriously, how offensive were those blind tests that supposedly proved that Pepsi tastes better if for whatever reason you like to be blindfolded while drinking sodas (that's probably a fetish in Japan)? That's basically telling the customers that they're too dumb to figure out what they actually like. See, you really do prefer Pepsi! But Coke is somehow manipulating you into believing you prefer their drink! And you don't even notice it! Now stop pretending YOU know what YOU like! WE do! Well sorry Pepsi, but after many, many comparison, I still prefer Coke. Now, on top of that, I don't know how ads for Pepsi are in your areas but recently over here, they started a new ad with some random stereotypical thugs advertising it. Now, as if the number of clichés crammed into that ad and the idea that teens automatically like anything that has thugs in it weren't annoying/offensive enough (oh, they grunt all the time for no reason, too), I also love how the performers actually say "If you don't try the new crazy taste new Pepsi, that means you're a loser!" Yeah, insulting the customers will totally make us want to buy your drinks. Now, if you don't mind, Pepsi, I'm off to drink better sodas made by companies that don't act like I have the brain of a retarded guinea pig and who don't insult me. No seriously, what's up with Pepsi acting like we're freaking morons? Look at advertising today. It's gotten even worse. The commercials paint people to be idiots (on the street interviews to sample products) and showcase actors doing the stupidest of things, debasing themselves and others. Advertisers think the general public is stupid. I think advertisers can suck the high hard one.

In it a KFC the quality and taste of KFC chicken and then near the end of the commerical she says, "I'm a KFC chef" and at the bottom of the screen it says actor protrayal. So apprently they're don't think we even pay attention to the tv screen now.

Faygo cola was surprisingly good. Just adding that to the mix.

I was at a bar a while back and some old guy had an empty coke can in hand... marched up to the bar, slammed it down, and yelled "Bartender, give me another coca-cola". That is one rad old man. I prefer Pepsi by miles and miles, for what that little tidbit about me is worth.

I've always preferred Coke. Pepsi just always tastes too watered down especially if you're getting it at a restaraunt.

Not a fan of any pepsi product. My preferences are Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Coke. The only reason I have a diet pepsi on my desk is because of the pepsi machine in my office.
