Pepsi = Ewww... Coke = Yummm...

[mtrycrafts]

That's strange. I just conducted my own blind test with my dad. I bought some Coke and had him give me a cup each of Pepsi and Coke. I spotted the Coke with 100% accuracy. Pepsi just tastes bad. I don't see how anyone can taste no difference.

Maybe yours were different from what they served me?

 

[Hi Ho]

Maybe yours were different from what they served me?

It was Coca-Cola Classic and regular Pepsi, both from a can.

For what it's worth...no proof here, and this is just an anecdotal report...

I drank one to two liters of Diet Pepsi a day for ~5 years and ended up with Stage IV Head & Neck squamous cell cancer. I had no other risk factors that I am aware of.

I am cancer free two years out from treatment, Duffinator. Thanks for your wishes. Three more years and they'll call me good!

Hi rjbuds,

My wifes father just got done his treatments and surgery a couple of months ago for stage IV neck squamous cell cancer. He also had a stage I cancer on/in his tounge. He just received his first of hopefully many "clean" checkups. He has been lucky so far as to have only lost some saliva glands and have a scar on his neck. (funny what we consider lucky after the fact)

His was smoking related.

Now if I could get my wife (her sister, her mother, my sister, my father...) to quit!


Good Luck to you and yours!!!

SBF1 & Family


Now can I have my Jack & Coke!!!


P.S. (It's all about the kids!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, please pass along my best good wishes for recovery and "welcome to the club". He probably will lose his sense of taste for 6 months, or so, as well. Plus there is danger to the thyroid, but I guess it lives through the radiation treatment roughly half the time. Being without saliva is a major bummer, by the way. (Hard to get a decent kiss going. , not to mention eating.)

They never found my primary tumor, just the secondary matastatic one on my neck lymph glands.

Oh man...smoking...the worst addiction there is. (I know.) Best of luck to them, and you, getting some cessation program going. It's tough to quit...but it's even tougher to die younger than one needs to, and all for the reward of supporting tobacco companies. <--put mine next to yours.

I grew up drinking Pepsi because it was what my mom liked and she wouldn't buy Coke. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, although I prefer Dr. Pepper over both.

The funny thing is that I once participated in a blind taste test between Coke and Pepsi and under those conditions it is VERY difficult to tell which is which, yet when I can see what I am drinking I think they are totally different. Could it be the sense of sight is fooling the other senses, just as it does in audio? Hmmm...

Dr. Pepper...Boy does that bring back memories!

For the longest time I couldn't find any in my area but it's back now and I'm glad.

I still love it except either they changed the recipe or my taste buds are different 'cause it seemed to taste better as a kid.

Dr. Pepper used to be made with pure cane sugar. Pop is now made with high-fructose corn syrup, which is really bad for you. You can still buy Dr. Pepper made with pure cane sugar though...Google should know where.

Coffees, boys! Ya gotta get into the adult drinks.

Dark. Rich. Kona pea bean, any African, Jamaican (Blue Mtn. is a little wimpy, but delicious), a quality French roast (the only good thing to come out of France since a little Countess I encountered a hundred years ago ).

Blue Mountain wimpy? That's some of the smoothest and finest coffee money can buy! I get Mavis Bank straight from my Jamaican posse. There are a lot of imposters but the real government approved stuff is worth every penny (up to $50 a pound).

Lately I've been drinking select organic Kona peaberry. Not easy to get on this coast but has the kick I need.

EDIT: And by the way, I drink Diet Pepsi or Diet Dr. Pepper.

Do not drink much cola, favorite soda is Club soda with a generous pour of Ketel One Vodka or Johnnie Walker Scotch.

Much prefer coffee, black, without any additives, although a shot of Bailey's goes nicely after dinner.

Make mine a Jack & Coke please!

If I ask for a Jack & Pepsi I have to wait another syllable longer!!!

Birch beer not root beer. (I'm Pennsylvania Dutch)

I don't like the smell of coffee. I have a hard time going down that isle at the supermarket.

Water at work, soda or iced tea at meals and beer/jack/vodka at play.

Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer, ahh that brings back memories. My parents used to stop every year in Penn, to grab a case of the stuff for our camping trips down south. Can not find anything like that here in Upstate NY
