Married actually, but that is pretty funny. And Diet Coke or Coke Zero beats Pepsi any day.

I've never used marijuana much less coke. Well I did try weed once a long time ago, but I didn't inhale. ;-) This OTS is like asking a woman if she would rather have a baby or a pony. Or a man for that matter. 'cept she wouldn't need a man to get a pony. I defer to spacehog on this one.

I do drink enough diet Dr Pepper to float an aircraft carrier though. What was the question?

Coke over pepsi. A little spice over just sweet.

Like Py above, I used to drink Rum and Coke, but I've graduated to more sophisticated drinks, like Whiskey and Coke.

Pepsi One over Coke Zero. I find that calorie add a little body. Iced sun tea is my #1 choice.

Truthspeaker 3 years, 7 months ago

I'd drink my own urine before I'd drink a Pepsi

Pepsi

Cait McKnelly 3 years, 7 months ago

Neither. It rots your teeth and rots your stomach. And the sugar free stuff has Nutrasweet in it, a chemical sweetener proven to cause nerve excitability and nerve damage. I drink coffee, tea and juice.

Ricky_Vaughn 3 years, 7 months ago

Well, you're just better than everyone else. Thanks for answering the question?

Mexican Coke, made with honest to god SUGAR.

Ricky_Vaughn 3 years, 7 months ago

Every time I try Pepsi, it feels like my teeth are dissolving! Coke all the way. If I ask for a Coke at a restaurant and they only have Pepsi products, I'd rather get Dr. Pepper over Pepsi.

Ricky_Vaughn 3 years, 7 months ago

I do like Wild Cherry Pepsi though...better than Cherry Coke, IMO.

I don't drink regular soda, but I did when I was younger. I always thought that regular Coke made my mouth SO dry. But I liked Diet Coke better than Diet Pepsi. Weird.

milk

milk also makes a great chaser with whiskey

mom_of_three 3 years, 7 months ago

I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but will have dr. pepper on occassion. I try to drink more tea these days, but sometimes, just gotta have that sweet tasting caffeine. (and sometimes I put a little bourbon in it....aahh)

Cait McKnelly 3 years, 7 months ago

Drink coffee instead with Bailey's and whipped cream. Yummy!

Ricky_Vaughn 3 years, 7 months ago

Yeah, if you drink Crown XR with anything but ice or water, you've ruined it!

mom_of_three 3 years, 7 months ago

I don't have the iron stomache to drink whiskey straight - yet. My grandma used to drink it with coke or with water, and so far, I like it best with coke.

riverdrifter 3 years, 7 months ago

The greatest debacle ever: Crown & Coke. If you want to waste Crown, just dump it on the ground.

tubs_of_love 3 years, 7 months ago

Why, is Crown top shelf?

Cherry Pepsi.... or even better Cherry Dr. Pepper from Sonic with extra ice....... or even better then that a cup of Sonic ice and a spoon! Yes, I'm in the 'ice-crunching' stage of pregnancy. Thank goodness Sonic sells their ice by the bag!

Ricky_Vaughn 3 years, 7 months ago

So does Mickey D's, FYI.

Dejacrew423 3 years, 7 months ago

Yeah but there's just something about Sonic's ice..... the compacted crushed thing.... brilliant! That's the only reason I ever go by there..... it sure isn't for an onion burger. BTW, I'm running low on my Sonic Ice so if someone could pick me up a bag or tell my husband to pick up a bag that would be great!!

I mostly drink other people's milkshakes.

I prefer pre-1960 Coca Cola. It tasted much different when it was sweetened with cane sugar. It burned going down. That's why they sold it in 6 oz. bottles. You couldn't drink much more of it than that. Pepsi was sold in 12 oz. bottles because it was sweetened with corn syrup, making it much smoother so you could drink more of it than that.

Some time after 1960 they changed the Coke formula to 50% cane sugar and 50% corn syrup. That made it smoother, so you could actually drink a 12 oz, bottle. To make "New Coke" they took out all of the cane sugar, making it very smooth and sweet, like Pepsi. When they went back to "Coke Classic" they should have gone back to the 1950s formula, not the 1970s formula.
