Scientists are also now linking all carbonated drinks (including seltzer) to cancer of the esophogas.  Something about the carbonation doing major damage to the lining.  Consumption of soda has increased 600% since the 1950's and the rate of esophogeal cancer has risen 500% according to the report I heard.  Medical studies have also shown a link.  I'm not preaching to anyone because I like soda as much as the next person.  Just thought I'd pass that along.


I wonder if I should stop eating "Pop Rocks" and washing them down with Coke?  ???

coke

~PEPSI~

:D ;)

I don't care really. Sometimes restaraunts only have Pepsi and not coke(I guess the restaraunts have contracts with Pepsi.) Lately I have been drinking coke. One thibg I can't stand is diet soda or diet Iced tea. It just tastes like something is missing.

I think Coke tastes better than Pepsi. It might be just me, but Pepsi has this weird taste, and I don't even want to drink it, unless its in ice.

Hamburger, cheeseburger, hamburger, cheeseburger, no Coke, Pepsi!

BUT remember the final episode of that particular skit...Coca-Cola won out and it was corrected to NO pepsi, Coke ;)

Coca-cola, man.

Pepsi all the way

coke is way better. i don't know if its just me but Pepsi is watered down

Pepsi. After that absolutely pathetic Coke commercial, about these preppy teens talking about there summer, it just makes me like Pepsi even more.

since i can only drink diet anything now (diabetic) i drink diet pepsi. i used to drink coke when i was healthy. i hated pepsi, too sweet and too popular. but diet coke tastes like ditch water(i guess the aspartame and the original coke formula don't mix), diet pepsi tastes like the original...meh. i really like diet dr. pepper but it's rare to find it where i live.

Maybe so but I have gotten SO tired of the pepsi commercials..always cutting down Coca-Cola....at least they had to pay that kid for the price of an Air Force jet in last decades blunder....this decades is that billion dollar thing...there's a thread in here all about that one :)

  I choose Pepsi because both Pepsi and I are from the great state of North Carolina.

diet pepsi but after spending way too much money to have my teeth whitened ,i stick to diet sprite/gingerale,etc  ;D

~PEPSI~

:D ;)
;D ;DPepsi is the Bomb it is so much better than coke.  I wont even touch a coke regardless if that is all that is offered I only drink Pepsi as my cola choice.

i am all for the pepsi. and i thought it was the aspertain in diet pop that causes cancer?

The health police are now saying that the carbonation in pop promotes esopageal cancer too.

Time for a new product segment:  Uncarbonated Diet Caffeine-Free Classic Coke with Lemon.  ;D :D

I remember the "Pepsi Challenge" back in the 1980's,  and while I chose Pepsi back then I have since come to the conclusion that the "test" was unfavorably skewed towards Pepsi. I recall that it was done inside a mall, during the winter months, and both colas wee served at room temperature in small sippy cups. Had they done it outside in the middle of July, with both colas served ice cold (and in servings big enough to slam), I believe Coke would've won by a landslide. Pepsi may be sweeter but it doesn't have that "bite" that makes Coke so good on a hot summer day.  :)

You got that right, AL.

I wish that Coca Cola would make a bottle with a wide-mouth top so that you could maximize "The Slam".

I think it would be a great marketing tool.  :P

I think I am only person in the world who doesn't like ANY cola.

Coca Cola!  Yummy yummy yummy!

I prefer coke myself, but it has to be diet.

Coke, binch wankers. It has a good fizz, yet an enjoyable mild flavor. Pepsi, on the other hand, is too sweet, and a bit too smooth after the initial fizzing. RC is a close second, just because it's cheap and I love it.

I don't understand the picture of Edward Kennedy with the goggles and snorkel thing. Can anyone help me out?  ???

Bobby,

Back in 1969, "Ted" Kennedy decided to go for a drive with a young woman (not his wife) by the name of Mary Jo Kopechne, in an area of Massachusets known as "Chappaquiddick".  Somewhere along the line, his car decided to go airborne and landed upside-down in a body of water (which is usually what happens when a car goes for a swim).

Anyway, Teddy managed to get himself free of the wreckage and there were several hours that elapsed between him issuing the "deep dive" order for the car, and actually notifying the police.  To make a long story short, Mary Jo drowned in that wreck.  :\'(

Teddy managed to come up with all sorts of stories as to why he did not flag down the cops right away.  Interestingly the people of Massachusets continue to elect him to the position of US Senator, but any time after that, when he attempted to run for a national office, the cry of "Chappaquiddick" quickly extinguished his efforts.

Thus the goggles and snorkel.  :P

I think I am only person in the world who doesn't like ANY cola.

Do you like 7UP, the uncola, or are you a mineral water lady?

You heard me.

Actually, I am a waterholic-that's what I usually drink all day-every day. But I don't mind 7UP or Sprite too much but I'm not that big on carbination. I do prefer my H2O.

When are they gonna have the anti-carbonation posters?  Remember the anti-smoking posters?  Usually some torn up old cowboy with a tracheostomy.  Caption: Smoking is very glamorous.

Looks like nobody voted for RC.  I like RC, but not as well as Classic Coke.

I think Pepsi is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!! :D :) ;) ;D :o 8) ::) :P WE LOVE PEPSI!!!!!

Coke Is IT...by a 2-1 margin in THIS poll...and somewhere it leads in my poll on the same subject ;)

sorry Mark, but the coke around here tastes like rust.

sorry!! I have always favorite the taste of Pepsi...it's sweeter..and doesn't go flat as quickly as Coke does (from my own personal experiences)...

however, if it makes you feel any better...

I am an avid collector of Coca Cola memorabilia.....I have lots of neato stuff!


Erin :)

Pepsi by far, both regular and diet.  All I drink is Pepsi, only coke product I drink is Sprite, but now even with Sierra Mist that Pepsi has put out I doubt I will even buy Sprite that often anymore.  I have always thought Pepsi was smoother tasting as well.  After drinking nothing but Pepsi for a while and if I try to drink a Coke it taste terrible.  Pepsi is prefered by all my friends and family as well so it isn't hard to shop for sodas for us.

This poll and the sales numbers don't lie....Coke is better.

Actually over the last couple years Coke has been struggling compare to Pepsi, about a year ago they had a thing on the news about how Pepsi sales were up compared to Coke.  I lived in Atlanta for 16 years so I can't not completely knock Coke since Atlanta is it's hometown but I do prefer Pepsi.

So some more of society is buying into the pepsi ads that make fun of Coca-Cola and now has  involved thug Puf Diddy Gang-Bang in thier ads that continue to show how "Cool" it is to blast rap-crap into everybody's face ::)

Well that is true some people do not like that they have brought in people like that, but it is all part of advertising and reaching out to other groups who do like P. Diddy and such.

True enough...and sadder yet is that it's working :-\\

Coke, hands down.

Pepsi is too sweet, too sticky and too heavy on the stoumach.

Of course.. we all know Dr Pepper is the superior drink  ;D

Here in the U.K it's fairly obvious Coke is the most popular. I'd say around 65-70% of bars and pubs serve coke not Pepsi and Coke takes up far more shelf space than Pepsi.

I drink Diet Coke. That's that.

Yeah it does, especially wordwide.  But the last few years Pepsi has been making gains especially here in the US.

McDonalds always has the youth on their side.  That one Hardees commercial hit it right on the nose, the one with the pregnant lady sitting in a chair at a doctors office eating a Hardees burger and the commentator said something a long the lines of "Better enjoy it now becuase it will be nothing but McDonalds for the next 12 years."

I have never been a fan of McDonalds.  I have always felt they are a rip-off.  I havent had one of their hamburgers in probably 7 or 8 years.  Last burger I had there I got a double cheeseburger and couldn't even see the meat and that was it for me haven't had another one since.  Though their salads are not all that bad.

I don't like them either...thier food OR thier ad campaigns :P



I totally love the "old school" McDonalds of the past.....their ads in the 70's/80's and even early 90's were really cool! I have a few collector items from the early 70-80's.....but nowadays....it totally SUCKS...as does nearly every other advertisment......I say: Bring back the old (retro) ads and commercials...that would be awesome to see!!

The web site is sodapopstop.com

I feel the same way about Dr. Pepper...it was way better with cane sugar. I drink mostly water and lemonade now. BTW, the ONLY think I like about pepsi is they inavertantly burned Michael Molester Jackson's hair back in that '83 commercial ;D

pepsi :P

I don't drink pop ususally, but if I do, I prefer Pepsi.

I like those sweets (candy) shaped as Coke bottles and taste of the same.
