Pepsi for me. Don't mind Coke if it's in a restaurant. Can't stand it if it's in a can.
That's actually a very good point. Pepsi pretty much tastes the same everywhere, but Coke is completely different depending on what it came out of. The stuff in bottles is weaker, and more watery than what's in the cans (probably because full strength coke dissolves plastic). Most fountains are pretty good, except for McDonald's which does something to make it taste like something so different I usually refer to it as "McCoke." So this is really a debate of Pepsi vs WHICH Coke.
When it comes to Mountain Dew, I must be in the minority; Standard (with corn syrup) Dew tastes brighter to me and better than Throwback Dew.
Perhaps, but it has a thicker, syrupy texture. The colder the Dew, the more apparent the feeling.
