WHICH COLA IS THE BEST? WHY ARE THE DRINKERS OF OTHER COLAS CHILD MOLESTING, CRAP EATING SCUM? THIS IS SRS BZNS! :evil:
I would've voted for Dr. Pepper, but I don't consider its tasty 23 flavors to be a cola. Instead I voted "some other crap everybody's heard of but I'm too lame to list" - Jolt Cola for the mother fucking win with all the sugar and twice the caffeine.
Hell, RC is still around??

haha :mrgreen:
I actually prefer Pepsi, but I certainly won't turn my nose up at Coke....er....Couke. Like NecroPhile said, I would have picked Dr. Pepper, but it's a unique thing onto itself. Now, Brio is my favourite cola. Brio is actually my favourite brand of soda/pop. Their orange flavour is awesome. Doesn't have fake orange colouring to make sure people know it's actually orange flavoured. Mix orange Brio with some Pimms and you're laughin.
I've actually cut down a lot on my pop intake, Brio orange and Pimms is a tradition for my Tuesday night band rehearsals. :mrgreen:
What are these 'pimms' you speak of?
Also, Dr. Pepper is too a cola! anyone who says otherwise is a damn homosexual communist!

Here's an article I just received in my work email from "The Monday Motivator" talking about neuromarketing, using the Pepsi vs Coke as an example.
I'm just copying and pasting the article:
QuoteThis week Chris Powell shows us how applying a few simple principles from the emerging science of neuromarketing, could help you sell more — way more.
Have you ever wondered why consumers prefer the brands they do? Consider the perennial paradox of Pepsi versus Coke. Even though Pepsi continually trumps its arch-rival in blind taste tests (recall the long-running "Pepsi Challenge" ad campaign), Coke outsells Pepsi by a significant margin. Does Coke know something that Pepsi and the rest of us don't?
In 2003, Read Montague, a neuroscientist at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, set out to find the answer by recreating the Pepsi Challenge while monitoring the brain activity of a group of test subjects with an MRI machine. About half his subjects preferred Pepsi in blind taste tests, and it produced a stronger response than Coke did in the part of the brain thought to process rewards. Yet, when the subjects were told which beverage they were sampling, the preference for Coke rose substantially, and the brain regions governing high-level cognitive thinking became more active.
Montague ascribed the effect to how strongly Coke's brand resonates in the culture and the warm and fuzzy associations established by its marketing (think: polar-bear cubs and Santa Claus). Marketers who soon picked up on his study, and subsequent research, developed a new tool called neuromarketing, designed to help them understand and influence customers' buying decisions.
Doing your own research is out of reach for entrepreneurial firms that can't afford to rent $2-million MRI machines and lab facilities. Still, firms of any size can easily adopt the principles behind the science. "Often, surprisingly simple studies can yield important insights," says Roger Dooley, author of the neuromarketing blog neurosciencemarketing.com.
Patrick Renvoisé, president of San Francisco-based neuromarketing firm Sales-Brain, says three parts of the brain are involved in decision-making. The new brain is responsible for rational thought, the middle brain for gut feeling and the old brain for basic survival functions. But it's the old brain that has the final say, and is therefore the focus of neuromarketing.
Renvoisé and other neuromarketers agree that the old brain responds best to six key stimuli. The key to successful marketing, therefore, is to take into account these attributes of the old brain:
IT CRAVES CONTRAST: Apple's popular "I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC" campaign plays off the idea that people won't always buy a product until they have something to which they can compare it. However, not all choices are created equally. When researchers at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management gave people a choice between two equally preferred options, subjects became irritated over the difficulty of choosing—which increases the risk that the customer will make no decision. Introducing a third but clearly worse option made choosing easier, even pleasurable.
IT PREFERS TANGIBLE BENEFITS: The old brain is far more responsive to tangible attributes of a product (e.g., "toilet paper that feels like cashmere") than abstract characteristics (e.g., "toilet paper that will bring you eternal happiness").
IT PREFERS THE VISUAL: Using pictures in, say, product demonstrations could be your fast track to reaching customers since the old brain processes visuals before anything else. And if you can deliver your core marketing message through images (think: Nike's swoosh), just do it.
IT REMEMBERS BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS: Customers will use their first experience with your firm to filter what follows. So, they'll see everything that follows a bad first impression through a negative lens. And they'll leave with, and hold onto, the last impression, whether it was a bad customer service experience or a complimentary mint.
IT'S EMOTIONAL: The best way to trigger an emotional response in the old brain is through sensory stimuli such as the smell of a certain perfume, the sound of a song from adolescence or the view of a familiar mountain range. "We make decisions based on our emotions first, and then we invent the rational reasons for our choice, like 'This beer tastes better' or 'That sports car gets great mileage,'" says Dooley. The more senses you can associate with your product or service, the more you are likely to drive buying decisions.
IT LOVES GAIN, HATES PAIN: As is fitting for an organ that has been on the evolutionary timeline for several million years, the old brain is constantly calculating the net gain or pain that will accrue from every decision. But Dooley says putting your product on the right side of the pain/gain equation often comes down to positioning. For instance, changing your service's "$5 fee" to "a small $5 fee" can make a big difference in sales.
Ultimately, triggering the right response in the old brain before your competitors do could launch you light-years ahead of them. That's because whoever triggers a reaction first tends to maintain consumer loyalty.
So, perhaps Coke didn't know anything different than Pepsi after all. It just got there first.

When RC Cola was on its last legs some asshole bought the formula and/or company for nothing, planning to run it into the ground to make a quick buck (and possibly funnel other debt through). He sold the formula to every no-name brand that would buy it, but his plan back fired (sorta). The no-name colas became so widely popular that the overall business became sustainably profitable again and it's remained (afaik) the number one secret cola flavor ever since.
I used to be a big Pepsi fan in my youth, but I gradually switched to Coke as Pepsi just seemed too sweet to me. Now it is Coke or nuthin'... unless the establishment only serves Pepsi then I will take it.

Now you must make the final move to Brio. Odd though. Brio cola is quite bitter, but I prefer Pepsi over Coke. :-k
I prefer good Coke to regular Pepsi, which is either glass bottle or when the planets align to allow a properly mixed fountain dispenser. More often than not plastic bottle Coke turns bitter and/or acidic, so when I do occasionally decide to buy a bottle, I usually go for Pepsi just because it's a safer bet.

I've noticed that McDonald's seems to have the best Coke. I don't know if they get extra-special BIBs (bag in a box) or what the deal is, but for some reason it tastes better there than it does at most other places, and certainly better than out of a can.
RC for the win! 8)
I buy generic because they all taste similar enough. People have done tests on whether consumers can tell them apart in blind taste tests, and sure enough, vast majority of people can't.

Coke = Dr. Pepper = Pepsi = RC Cola = Mr. Pibb = any other dark "cola" type drink.
Seriously I never understood how people prefer X cola to Y cola. They all mostly taste the same to me with only slight variances. I really don't get how people can be like "Coke is the shit" and "Pepsi is nasty, that stuff IS shit" They just don't taste different enough to warrant such a reaction
Besides, compared to other types of soda, colas are shit. We all know the holy three are Root Beer, Cream Soda, and Ginger Ale! :roll:
All naysayers are full of shitty shit and possibly brainwashed by whichever brand of shitty shitaticular cola they seem to be loyal to for who knows what shit-ridden reason. [-(

Koopa-Kola Classik...the Kola that's still made with real coal! No wonder its a klassic! (Now available in regular and extra fat formula!)

Same here. I don't really prefer the taste of any one cola over another.
All of this stuff is crap. I try not to drink much of it- but out of sheer habit- when I do need a cola to wash down a hamburger or a slice of pizza I always ask for a Coke.

It appears as though that you don't read my entire posts Joe. :P
I can understand on some of the long ones, but like 7 sentences? I even spaced it out into nice bite sized chunks. I'm sorry I don't leave my posts to one short comment most of the time, I like to elaborate and provide some reasons and basis for my opinions.
I don't even drink soda that often, as it's not very good for you. I DO love milk though, of the skim variety preferably. I can go through gallons of milk in no time. Apple juice is king of juices, though just about any other fruit juice/cocktail aside from orange juice is good. Of course good clean water, if not full of lead or other pollution, is good stuff. Strangely enough, I often prefer tap water to filtered water, often filtered water tastes....off. If I am in the mood for something with some sort of flavor, I will just make some kool-aid or similar. When I am in the mood hot cocoa is good stuff.

You poor misguided soul. Not only are diet colas and sodas clearly inferior sodas, but they should not exist. Whatever the hell that artificial sweetener they put in them CANNOT be good for you.

DNA isn't good for you? 'cuz that's what phenylalanine is - a component of DNA. it happens to be tasty.
Like you said phenylalanine is a COMPONENT of DNA and not the same thing, if you know anything about chemistry, you'll know that just because something is awesome does not mean the components would be awesome in the same application when separate. In fact the elements that compose compounds are DRASTICALLY different from the compound itself.
Take NaCl for example, awesome stuff is it not? Tasty on some food and necessary for many multi celled organisms to live right? Now take just one of the components, Cl or chlorine. Not so fun to ingest/inhale is it?
However, by your argument it would be most excellent to put into food, because a compound that is partially made from it is good, so it by itself must also be good. The same logic can also be applied to many other compounds. Hydrogen Chloride, or HCl, is great for the proper digestion of foods. I'm sure hydrogen and/or chlorine by themselves would be most awesome in your stomach. Why don't you try it out man? Inhale some chlorine and hydrogen, and tell me how awesome that is. :roll:

PS - I'm no fan of Splenda, the newest artificial sweetener on the block, but maybe in the future I'll change my mind.

I prefer the taste of diet colas, but all other root beer/fruity/citrus drinks are a toss up; some of 'em taste better unleaded, some of 'em don't. Since I'd rather not be a fat bastard and don't taste a
huge difference between the two, I almost exclusively drink diet sodas.
I actually like Fresca a great deal. There's a Peach Fresca that only comes in a can (by me at least) too that is seemply deevine- that stuff has artificial sweetener.
I like Diet Coke. I wish I could snort aspartame. OK I am kidding, but I really do like Diet Coke!

Has anyone tasted the new Red Bull Cola? It is "all natural" and grown in the jungle or something. I tried a sip or two last night since my GF had a can. It was sweet, sweeter than Pepsi which makes me like it even less. She liked it but I'll pass, thanks. One good thing is that it uses real sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, but other than that it can go to hell.

Depends on how it is worded. Most say "Made from all natural ingredients" Which in the case of bottled water is true, provided it is just that: water. The "all natural" refers to the ingredients that make up the product, not the process in which it was made.
The only thing that might be considered truly all natural in a grocery store is organic fruits and vegetables. Even then it could be argued that because man raised the plant it isn't truly all natural, despite the fact no pesticides or genetic engineering were involved. I'm afraid if you want all natural you'll need to go to the jungle and fight the local wildlife for some TRULY all natural food.

I believe that Tab was reintroduced a year or so ago as an energy drink, so I doubt that it's available in the same regions as plain old cola. But I wouldn't be surprised if sections of the U.S. still had the cola, isn't "New" Coke still available in some places?

Tab energy drink tastes nothing at all like the soda. Like most energy drinks, it's nasty.

TAB was still around (the soda) a few years ago in the Northern Jersey area... I don't know, 10 years ago? I was surprised, because I thought it was long abandoned (I thought it died in the 80's).
Pathmark NoFrills had the best selection of sodas: Pineapple was one of 'em, and you could buy 2 liter (and, for popular flavors, 3 liter bottles). Do they even make 3 liter bottles anymore?

haha. You can actually get a President's Choice bank card/account. Really low on banking service fees, but really crappy service. Go figure. I think just trying to take out money is a hassle.
Oh, and ice cold Pepsi is pretty unstoppable.

I find pepsi in general tastes funny. its ok if thats all there is, but when given options, its always last.
Coke and Dr. Pepper beat it to death.
Ham probably doesn't qualify as a 'cola', but that doesn't make it any less awesome:

I went with Dr. Pepper. I drank Pepsi Max for like.. everyday for a year or so - I'm soooo fed up with it. Dr Pepper tastes like a princess cake (http://thesisterproject.com/orloff/files/2009/05/princesscake.jpg), which is awesome.

Haha, it does! I never thought of it that way. I don't know about you guys but here it's the absolutely most common cake so no one have taken the time to see more than "just a cake". Once I've seen it I can't unsee it! :)
Princess Cake tastes like Dr. Pepper? I see them at Ikea all the time maybe I should try it next time! :D
Voted Coke. I used to drink Pepsi, but over the years Pepsi just tastes different. They changed something those stupid corporate pricks! :evil:
Pepsi Throwback for me :)
Coke then Dr. Pepper. Trust me...I'm a doctor
haha Crystal Pepsi in that chubby bottle for the win! haha
I remember drinking Crystal Pepsi a few times back in 92-93 during its short lifespan

How is Diet RC Cola? I'm not kidding.
I AM CRAVING DIET COKE right now. I RAN OUT.
I don't mind trying Diet RC Cola, but I'll just say that most diet stuff sux compared to Diet Coke. And Coca-Cola is a horrible corporation I can't believe I drink their fire water. Damn them! Damn my weak flesh, my weak taste buds.

Aspartame has been proven to cause brain lesions in rats.
That said, a regular coke is probably "better" for you.

I thought that was beer, which is another thread...
Did you know that Pepsi and coca-cola are the two biggest softdrinks competitors? Between the two of them they own every other softdrink you can even think of. By own, I mean they collect profits on almost any other fluid drink you could possible think of. Just do a search and eventually you will end with the two giants.

I guess you've never heard of the Dr. Pepper/Snapple group, all alcoholic beverage manufacturers, or the plethora of independent bottlers that make boutique brands and store brands.
I just do not drink these anymore. Phuck ishbay...........

Here too. Coca-Cola Corp and Pepsico both bottle and distribute other brands that they normally do not handle in the USA proper.
Dr. Pepper isn't a cola.

Haaaaa! That's classic! I loved that commercial when I was a kid! And I like Dr. Pepper too because it's ice-cold and has a nice, refreshing, acidic bite to it and isn't overly sweetened like Mr. Pibb.
this is it. Be all end all of cola's, if you didn't get to drink it when it was being made sucks for you.

Red Bull is shit in all forms.
This wasn't redbull though, it wasn't an energy drink any more then a coke is. What this was was a very high quality soda where every ingredient save for 1 or two could be bought at the grocery store. These were the ingredients, cola nut, coca leaf extract, galangal, lemon and lime, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, pine, field mint, vanilla pods, ginger, mace, cocoa, liquorice, orange, mustard seed.
did you miss the part about ALL FORMS?

No carbonated water, eh? Sounds kinda dry and not so refreshing.
Red Bull cola is so shitty the dollar star marked it down to 40 cents and I bought a bunch
I took a few sips and threw the rest against a wall.
It's terrible. Tastes like a frozen coke after you let it melt, and then drink it.

English coke is made from sugar. Ice cold, it can't be beat.
Though there's this burger joint that imports all its soda from Turkey or something, and that coke tastes like crap.
All Cola and soft-drinks are crap, end of dicussion. They are filled with sugar that damages the bones over time, and the carbon destorys the healthy stuff in burgers.
