I can, I think Pepsi tastes better, its sweeter, coke has a really bad watered down overly fizzy taste in my opinion. In a taste test I could definitely tell them apart. How bout you?

Hi! I think the manufacturers adjust the taste of either Coke or Pepsi according to the country. I have noticed a difference in the flavor of both cola drinks in my country (the Philippines) and in here (the States). In my country, Coke is really good because it is not so sweet and the "spirit" or the bubbly consistency stays longer. Pepsi is way too sweet and tastes like a cockroach (no kidding)! Here in the States, Coke does not taste like anything and Pepsi tastes way better. Well, just my opinion. Happy myLotting!

I can buy that. Coke from Mexico is so much better than the Coke here in the states.

I've noticed this difference too! When i was on vacation in US (1996), i've tasted both caoke and pepsi. Pepsi was way better than coke there. In Brazil, Pepsi fails miserably to compete with Coke. Coke wins by a wide margin...

Its because of what they use. Mexican Pepsi is horrible. They use real sugar in their coke, we use some kind of chemical. That makes a diffrence anywhere.

It's funny that I can tell the difference between Sprite and 7-up, but I'm unable to distinguish Pepsi from Coke. They seem almost identical to me.

i can tell the difference between 7-up and sprite as well. i think the sprite smells somewhat like grass =P and 7-up has this great lemony flavour.

i can differentiate the two by their taste as well. i prefer coca cola over pepsi as pepsi is just too sweet for me. i like the strong taste of coca cola. hmm.. but IMO, mirinda and fanta are better than both pepsi and coke =D

Oh I've grown up with coke as the softdrink that was always present in our every meal. Until now that I have my own family, coke is still the best for us. It can really relieve your thirst and you can say, "ahhhh"!

i can tell easy lol! Pepsi is sweeter and slightly less carbonated..and tastes heavenly. Coke is a bit watered down and lots of carbonation. and with just one swallow of Coke and a couple of minutes, i can feel it. the acidity of Coke really gets to my stomach! i didnt realize that they changed the mixture according to the country, but i guess that does make sense. im close to mexico, im gonna have to remember to try them both and see if i still like pepsi better!

I can easily tell the difference between coke and pepsi. Pepsi is a lot sweeter and is less carbonated while on the other hand, Coke is just perfect to quench thirst but a lot more carbonated. But I rarely drink these colas since Coke is literally an acid based on some experiments people did to clean the toilets, take the rust off metals and can you imagine Coke can dissolve 1 nail in 4 days. Yikes! Whereas pepsi does taste like cockroach. lol. I usually just drink RC Cola or Pop Cola instead plus the fact that it is a lot cheaper.

I can taste a difference. I think Pepsi tastes like it uses artificial sweeteners. My favorite is RC Cola.

RC is good, and really cheap to. I mean you can get a whole gallon for like 99-cents. Who wouldn't want that?
