Can I please have a Coke??

You know when you first place your beverage order at a restaurant and ask for a Coke and the server says “Is Pepsi ok?”…  I am the one to respond, “No, ma’am, it isn’t. They are not the same thing”.  Does anyone else have that knee jerk reaction because they feel so strongly over the world famous Coca-Cola.

Here is my outlook on the differences between Coke and Pepsi.

Fountain Coke is always the best.  The mixture of the syrup and carbonation brings the “classic Coke” feel home for me.

Canned Coke is the next best thing but still not the favorite. The mixture of the metal from the can over time can turn the taste of the sugar from the soda.
Bottle Coke, just not worth it.  Order an Ice Tea instead. (unless you are in Mexico then stick with Coke in a bottle and save the bottle as a souvenir)

      Pepsi:

      Fountain Pepsi is not as good as fountain coke. It has a extra sweet taste, something to do with the mixture.
      Canned Pepsi is just ok depending upon how cold it is. The colder the better because the sugar seems to settle in the can. The same issue as with canned Coke with the metal taste as well especially when its not as cold.
      Bottle pepsi, never in a million years. Order an Ice Tea instead. 

        As you can see, Coke is an overall winner in my book.  So whether you call it Coke, Soda, or Pop, remember you always wanna order a good old fashion Coca-Cola.
