The Daily Icebreaker: Pepsi or Coca-Cola?
The ultimate battle.

This icebreaker was posted on the NationStates RMB by @TGN.

Coke not close

Depends, the specific products? Coke, always, Pepsi just tastes too sweet.

The companies and the rest of their products? Pepsi, they have all the better other stuff.

I never posted my own answer, lol. I agree with Aren though...Pepsi is just too sweet to me.

Regular/vanilla/Orange-Vanilla coke.

Cherry/Raspberry/Old-style Pepsi.

neither

neither

What if someone put a gun to your head and told you that if you didn't take a sip of the Coke or Pepsi they'd blow your brains out?

That's a bit extreme 

Cherry Coke

That's a bit extreme

So :P

Pepsi hands down. Coke is flat and tastes weird.

I'd like to note something that's quite interesting in terms of marketing. My home province of Quebec is one of the few areas in the world where Pepsi outsells Coke (about double the sales). That's because starting in the 70, Pepsi ran a marketing campaign focused on the local market involving local celebrities, whereas most TV spots were simply adaptation of spots developed for the English market. Pepsi landed on a goldmine and to this day the marketing in Quebec is often wildly different from the marketing in the rest of Canada (one good example, a Quebec company selling a product may describe it in French as "un produit d'ici" (a product from here, implicitly understood as Quebec) but the English will say "a Canadian product").

Check out that ad for instance : 

That is a wild commercial.

neither

Same, I just don't drink either.

Neither, Dr. Pepper if I must drink soda.
