Pepsi vs. Coke

Have you tried this stuff? Oh my, my. My...

I am a die hard Coke fan, but this stuff....make with real sugar, like it used to be when I was growing up....is like a little bit of heaven. NOT even kidding. I've only had about 5 sips, and it's been wonderful. We look all over town for it. Found it so far at the gas station and at Target.

Speaking of Coke...I am a Diet Coke fan. With Lime. Crushed ice. Well, I was until about 12 days ago. I gave it up and now sip water instead of aspartame. Anyhoo....that Pepsi Throwback...wow. 

How about you? Coke? Pepsi? Water? Which one do you drink?

hi teresa,

definitely pepsi, but "decaf". however, we have been drinking the throwback and yes, it is good.

I try to drink water, but soda is definitely a weakness. I figured that if I am sitting in an office for 8-10 hours a day with no regular exercise, soda should be cut out of my daily routine!

I am a Coke fan too. But, my husband found the Pepsi Throwback at Target the other day and knew I 'd love it. So I've made the switch. At least for now. Did you see that Target also had this great looking Mountain Dew Throwback?

Can't stand soda, don't care for the carbonation.....not to mention the empty calories of all of them. I prefer tea or water. Dh, however, is a die-hard diet pepsi man!

Hi Teresa, we have Pepsi Max over here in Australia it has no sugar. We love it and after years of being Coke fans we now only drink Pepsi Max

Oh, how I wish I could give up my addiction to Diet Pepsi. I try...I really do! Good for you for drinking water. Maybe that's my New Year resolution......along with eat less, earn more and so on and so forth.....

we found an 18-pack of pepsi throwback cans at costco the other night. the 18-pack only set us back about $5. Next time we go we're going to grab the Mtn Dew throwback and see how it compares.

COKE! But now that I shouldln't drink caffine because it makes my Menieres ear diesase worse, I am addicted to A&W Rootbeer because the carbination is SO GREAT, as well as the sugar! But now and then I get a soda at the fast food place and get a swallow of Coke then drink water. I will have to look for a Pepsi throwback.

I didn't get the link to Paper Romance. I think it's because I always sign up late. I wasn't going to sign up because I didn't get a chance to do any of the Christmas project - except for the velvet rose. I loved the rose. But I am always hopeful that somehow there will be a chance for more hours in a day.

Water with a little fruit juice and lemon or ice tea. Very boring, but I gave up the daily pop a long time ago-- being on a perpetual diet did it I guess. But I save up for a real fountain Coke from a convenience store about once a month-- and it is like manna from heaven I tell you;)

I saw the Mtn. Dew throw back at Target but I don't like mtn dew!!LOL I will see if they have the Pespi...I know Coke makes one around passover with real sugar but it is super hard to find in Cal.

[Stacy McGinnis]

Coke Zero,the best diet drink ever!

[Bev]

I shouldn't say this since I actually worked for Pepsi for awhile, but I love my Cherry Coke! The whole time I worked for them, I could never eat lunch in a restaurant that wasn't a "Pepsi pour" and I probably would've been fired if I was so much as caught with a Coke can in my car. So my Cherry Coke preference had to be a closely held secret. :D

I saw the throw back Pepsi and Target as well and I was wondering if you could actually taste a difference. Now I'm going to have to give it a try!

Hi Teresa!
DIE HARD Coke fan...the REAL thing! However I may give this Pepsi a go...I've gotten so used to the "burn" of Coke, tho, I'm sure it will pale in comparison. Does it taste reminiscent of RC Cola? Remember THAT stuff? Yum!

Okay, off to Target to find the goods!

[Sue Kruse]

Water. Or Iced tea. Never liked sodas. Although once in a blue moon I'll have a cherry coke because I like the fizz. A few sips though, and I'm done. Just never liked sweet soda drinks, even as a kid.

[Marian]

Cherry Coke Zero.
aka Cherry crack.

[Mary]

I really try to drink unsweetened ice tea or seltzer since I am like an alcoholic with my addiction to diet Pepsi and diet Mug root beer. If there is soda in my house, I will drink it in one sitting, I just love it! So I just try to just say no.

[christen]

COKE - but I haven't seen this stuff. I may have to start the search.

[Erica@ZunkyChic]

Diet Coke - regular is too sweet. I never drank soda until I moved to TX and the water tasted so terrible, I needed something to cover the taste.

[Gale]

Diet Pepsi !
Diet Coke tastes to sweet.
