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?

Well, I'm mostly a water drinker - at least try to be. But I do afford myself maybe one soda (diet) a day as a treat. Growing up, our family were hard-core Pepsi drinkers (you might remember, picking up the wooden cases with the bottles at the local gas station!). But lately, I've been leaning more toward Coke - Coke Zero to be exact. I've even been diving into Diet Mountain Dew a bit. Maybe I'll have to give the Throwback Pepsi a try!

Coke Zero tastes almost real but i'm thinking i need to cut the soda to a minimum and up the H2O intake.

I am so excited I bought a little pink Fugi instant camera, inspired by you picture taking at Silver Bella. I also saw an article that Polaroid is bringing back the 600 instant, I am hanging on to mine in hopes of finding reasonable film again someday.

When I drink soda...it's Coke:)

I'm proud of you for giving up Diet Coke. i gave it up over two years ago. Iced tea instead. Good for you!

I, too, gave up my soda habit a couple of years ago. I have been a lifelong Pepsi-girl, not diet, the regular stuff! Now I love water w/Grape Propel mixed in. So good! I also drink lemonade & iced tea for a change. I gave it up because the carbonation made me feel awful. Good luck to you!

Pepsi all the way - but up here in northern backwoods Canada i've never seen the Pepsi throwback - may be i have to do some searching!
Thanks for your inspiration and sharing on your blog.

I don't do soda (any soda, it is too sweet for me) But I love water with a lemon and a lime slice in it or pineapple and crushed mint. xoxoxoxo Clarice

I grew up in a Pepsi family, I liked it, too, until I drank one while pregnant and it had an awful metallic taste, that was over 3 years ago and I still don't care for it. I prefer Izze (orange or apple), it stinks because there's less in a can and double the price.

Yeah for real sugar...love it. If you're up for it, they also have throwback Mountain Dew.

Pepsi fan all the way here. I too have cut way back on my sodas this year. If your liking your water try HINT raspberry lime it is SO good, no calories, no sugar, it is infused with the flavor really really yummy and refreshing! I stumbled on it at whole foods and haven't been able to put it down since.

I grew up in a Pepsi family, and I'm a PC girl through and through. And I couldn't agree more that the Throwback is just heavenly. Even my husband, a CC boy, can't get enough.

Coke with crushed ice! I only like soda from the fountain, never ever ever from a bottle!

I was a diet coke fan until this week too! My friend (a pathologist) explained that all of the current research says that aspertame (especially mixed in whatever is in cola) leaches the calcium out of our bones and leaves them brittle. I like my bones so I'm trying to drink more water...... with lime......

[Kirsten]

Coke. It's the real thing. But it's a real rarity for me. I get too wigged out when I think about drinking all those chemicals...

[Cindy]

I love cherry coke!
Never heard of throwback. Must not be in my part of the country yet.

I have TRIED to give up diet Coke, but I just can't. I drink less in the summer as I drink more tea and crystal light, but still never give up the diet Coke! I DO like regular Pepsi but can't stand regular Coke....go figure!

[Patricia]

I used to live on diet coke, but gave it up years ago. I pretty much stick to water, milk, and occasionally an ice cold lemonade on a hot summer day!
