Blog Five: Pepsi Cola > Coca-Cola

         Hello to all of you once again.  Tonight I am writing my first blog/review that has to do with the world of drink.  I think I can guarantee that this blog post will the most responses to it yet.  Most of you will probably tell me how coke is better and more popular throughout the world.  This may be true, but this blog is just my own opinion and it is your right not to agree with it.  So here we go.  He are the reasons why I think Pepsi is the superior cola.

Overall Taste: Pepsi has an overall better taste that Coke.  It does not taste as sweet and does not leave a sugary like film on your teeth that I have experienced more than once with Coke. You taste too much of the syrup when drinking Coke.  Coke can also leave a weird after taste sometimes.  Pepsi starts clean and crisp and ends the same way, as you drink it. 

Ice Cream Floats: I am a big fan of this popular desert and I have to say that a Pepsi float is better than a Coke float.  In an ice cream float one should want to have equal parts of taste when consuming the desert.  I feel that in a Coke float the ice cream tends to overwhelm the flavor of the Coke and you end up with a sugary mess.  On the other hand , in a Pepsi float both ice cream and cola work hand in hand together.  You still get a nice ice cream taste while still tasting the boldness of the Pepsi flavor.

Diet Drink Taste:  Although I do not consume either brand's diet cola's often I am going to have break the hearts of every sorority girl in America and go with Diet Pepsi here.  Diet coke is just too bland to me and taste nothing like regular Coca-Cola.  Diet Pepsi doesn't taste completely like Pepsi but it has more brisk Pepsi taste that Diet Coke has a Coke taste.


She got the way to move me, Cherry: My sister is not going to like me for this one.  Wild Cherry Pepsi reigns supreme in the category of cherry flavored colas over Cherry Coke.  The deciding factor for me here is similar to why Diet Pepsi is better.  Cherry Coke is good don't get me wrong but once again there is just not enough original Coke taste in the drink for me.  Cherry Coke is its own drink and to me has nothing to do with Coke because it does not taste like it.Wild Cherry Pepsi on the other hand taste likes Pepsi with splash of cherry flavor working in the background.

Fizz/Carbonation:  Both Colas have a considerable amount of fizz/carbonation but when it comes to the bubbles Pepsi takes the cake.  It simply has more and I feel it holds it s carbonation longer.  Coke will get flat quicker so If you are considering two liters, definitely shoot for Pepsi Colas.

I could go on about this topic for much longer but I think I have ranted enough.  I do leave you with this ad from the 1990s. Remember Coke had to give the OK to Pepsi to use its Cola in this commercial.  People will say this is just Coke not caring because they know their product is better.  To me Coke is clearly admitting defeat by letting Pepsi use their product in their ad.
Pepsi vs. Coke

I'm out for now.
