I love my Coca-Cola....and certainly NOT the Diet variety. I love my red cans and I love my sugar. And, yes, Coke is BEST enjoyed ice-cold from a CAN only....never from a bottle or any other source.

Having worked at Coca Cola and being a life-long expert in Cokology, I can tell you there is ZERO difference in the taste between can and bottle.

However, I can tell you that IMO it's best to buy the cans that are on sale really cheap. This is old stock and the longer Coca Cola sits unopened, the more it ages and gets more of a 'bite' to it.

Neither, I don't like the stuff very much. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's the same as saying you don't like ice-cream

Coke. I'm drinking Coke Zero right now but i change between the regular, diet and zero depending on my sugar needs.

Pepsi is OK but I find it has the same taste as flat Coke. Too much flavour and not enough kick.

Where did you work at Coca Cola?
My father used to manage a factory in Sierra Leone, many moons ago.

Only Coke here in the South!

I will drink Pepsi, but I don't tell anyone about it...

In my younger days I drank Pepsi all the time, but for the last 25 years I have preferred Coke. Does anyone recall taking the taste test at the local mall back in the day? I do!

Oh yes, nothing diet. I would rather be killed by sugar than the brew of toxic chemicals is those artificial sweeteners thanks. Besides the diet version tastes like shit!

You were the one that said saying you don't like Coke is the same as saying you don't like ice cream, and you said you didn't like Coke. So I guess it's not the same then, eh!

Neither. They are both nothing but chemical crap. The high test stuff is so sweet it is not at all thirst quenching (contrary to their falacious advertising).

Water for me over any soda product.

Truth be told, I prefer a good single malt over anything else.

Coke all the way. Pepsi doesn't come close. I drink the diet variety, but i LOVE the red can, trying to cut back on sugar though.

Frans, I'll stand next to ya in the "I hate Ice cream" line. Sign me up for the "I hate chocolate" party while you're at it.

If it's fron a can, then it's Pepsi.

If it's from a fountian, then coke. Don't know why, I just prefer Coke from the fountian.

I prefer the drink of Forrest Gump, but Coke is a close second.

Gotta be Coke.
I hate it at restaurants when you ask for a coke & they say "is Pepsi okay?"
I will say, NO, I'll have a Root Beer then.
My wife drinks Diet Pepsi, so we have to have one of each in the fridge.

Agreed about the ZERO difference, Johnny....but somehow it just tastes better (and more gassy) from the can!!

I worked in the marketing warehouse when I was in university. Shipping and receiving of all the goodies they sent to events like trays, glasses, shirts, hats, Swatch-like watches (had one), posters, balls, kids toys, all sorts of interesting things.

We could also drink as much product we liked, all day long. I'd start off with Minute Maid in the a.m., Sprite mid-morning and coke all afternoon. That was also one of my best cycling seasons. No doubt from the sugar loading.

What do you colonials know about beer. We were brewing it and drinking it before your place was discovered.
