Coke. And I can *definitely* taste the difference without seeing the brand. Like others, Pepsi is too sweet. It has a funny taste like saccharine or aspartame that leaves an aftertaste.
Or at least it does in SE Australia. |

I really never could tell the difference til I actually did a taste test on both. Pepsi is more for the sweeter side of life. Coke just seems to be cooler though with having Sprite and all the cool celebrities. Then Pepsi comes back with Brittany Spears and starts it all over again. I choose I&W rootbeer though because it just tastes oh so good.

If I drink a soda I prefer Pepsi over Coke. Generally though, I only drink soft drinks for the caffine because coffee makes me wretch. I really haven't even done that since college. Mostly I drink water.
@Dhruin--You know what's funny about your post? That's exactly why I prefer Pepsi if I have a soft drink. Coke leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.

The new Dr. Pepper- has anyone tried it?
I had it last night, and it was nice and dreamy. It was like Dr. Pepper meets Minute Maid Strawberry or Barq's Red Soda; the nice Dr. Pepper creaminess on the front end, coupled with a weak strawberry artificial sweetness aftertaste. I loved it!

I believe it's called Dr Pepper Red Fusion. It looks like red Dr. Pepper.

Mannn, coke is soo much better! It is oldschool, and Pepsi took it away, and it is too modern. besides, it tastes to sweet.

@HiddenX - I'm a German beer lover myself. About 10 years ago, a friend and I decided that when we're both in our 40s, we're going to do the beer garden tour of Germany without spouses or kids, so it would just be a drinking festival. Paulaner is OK, but I prefer Spaten and St. Pauli Girl.

It may be only something that's exported to the US, and not available for local consumption since I see you're in Germany. It's my personal favorite. But I'm sure anything you drink there would taste very different, since the US has limits on alcohol % in beer so most beer makers make lighter versions for the US market.

I must be weird... Everyone seems to think Pepsi is so sweet- I prefer Pepsi because Coke is too syrupy and sweet for my taste. It might be that Pepsi (IMO) has stronger carbonation. Usually, I go with milk or Gatorade, though.
As for the rotted teeth mentioned earlier- in high school, my chemistry teacher put a 1/4" thick piece of steel in a jar. Each day, he'd put 1 drop of Coke on the steel. By the end of the school year, there was a hole completely thru.
