The Coke vs. Pepsi debate has gone on for decades, and there are millions of people on both sides of the debate, swearing by their preferred soda brand.
Looking at some recent studies, we’d like to share some of the more interesting findings with you about the public’s opinion between a few of the different drinks in the Coke and Pepsi product lines.
This is based on a collection of surveys as opposed to just one, so while there’s no scientific method behind my findings, you can still take these with a grain of salt. At the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal opinion anyway.
Many felt that Pepsi was too sweet, while people were generally more neutral about Coke. However, the Pepsi lovers felt more strongly about the drink than Coke lovers did about theirs.
Let’s take a look at the diet drinks now. Each bills itself as a healthy alternative to the original formula, free of calories and sugars. In the end, people believe that the taste of diet Pepsi resembles actual Pepsi more than diet Coke resembles actual Coke.
Sprite vs. Sierra Mist. There’s 7up on Pepsi’s end too, but it looks like Sierra Mist has been pushed harder in recent years. While Sprite enjoys higher sales (probably due to more recognition and a longer track record), people have preferred Sierra Mist in blind taste tests.
The last set of sodas analyzed were the cherry colas. There’s Pepsi’s Wild Cherry Pepsi and then there’s Cherry Coke. The more recognized brand is cherry coke, though a strong contingent of those who’ve actually tried both preferred Pepsi’s drink.
As you can see, this is an issue that divides many, and looks to show no signs of changing.
