It goes:
Pepsi
Diet Pepsi
Pepsi Max
Coke
Coke Zero
. . . Diet Coke
. . . . . Crystal Pepsi ๐ญ
They're right though, Pepsi is not god damn "okay". Pepsi is great. (though I'll drink any of my top 5 interchangeably, except for the sugar, and I only have any of them as a treat now after years of drinking way too much.)
If diet Pepsi is your #2, your taste buds are broken.
Diet Pepsi tastes much more like Pepsi compared to Diet Coke/Coke. Pepsi Max could easily be second though depending on my mood.
I've convinced people with blind taste tests, but not much I can do over the internet.
Coke is too sweet and makes my teeth feel weird which is why most of the Pepsi products go above the Cokes.
I don't think Diet Coke was ever meant to taste like Coke. My conspiracy theory is when New Coke bombed, they rebranded it as Diet Coke when they brought back "classic Coke." I just prefer the flavor of diet coke.
If you prefer diet coke your taste buds are broken :-P
And thus, the soda wars began.
Being this passionate about cola is just the marketing that has been internalised as part of one's identity.
Is Pepsi ok? No I'd rather have a real drink please.
if you don't have Melon Fanta I'm burning your establishment to the ground ...
What part of the world are you from? I've had various melon-flavored sodas, but they were at World of Coke. I've never seen it in a restaurant.
Yeah, it's not common anywhere but it is objectively the best soda on the planet
Coke
7-Up
Any passionfruit soda
Reluctantly and if it's the only thing I'd drink, Pepsi
Because you don't like the taste?
Not a fan of the spiced cola flavour, but it's not the worst thing out there, it's really nice out of a soda fountain tho.
What the hell is diet pepsi? Pepsi max is already 0 calories?
Diet Coke and Coke Zero are both 0 calories but taste very different.
Pepsi Max was meant to compete with Coke Zero (also uses black in the marketing/logo)
Edit to add: also Diet Pepsi has been around way longer than Pepsi Max, so the correct question is "what the hell is Pepsi Max!?"
