If I am pouring it into a glass or it's out of a soda fountain then Coke. Better taste.

I hate Pepsi-I'm afraid that I'm of the Coke generation [the drink, that is].
When a restaurant has only Pepsi I just have tap water and they lose a sale. I don't like diet Coke at all. On UA I've settled on the cranberry/apple juice and on NWA I get a grapefruit drink. Good old BA continues to serve Coke.
Once I took a blindfold test - Pepsi vs. Coke. It was easy and impressed the children, who were young at the time.

I started drinking Diet Coke because it has more caffeine than normal Coke. I now drink it out of choice for taste. I don't drink Pepsi because it, for some reason, acts as a diuretic on me.

By themselves, it doesn't make much of a difference to me. But when it comes to cocktails, it has to be regular coke or 7-up....not diet (oddly, I like diet tonic water).
I really like the lime varieties....I just don't know why they came out with lemon versions first. One thing I like about vietnamese restaurants is they give you lime with your iced tea.
PS- and never, ever, ever diet ginger ale. I'd give up all other regular sodas to have my ginger ale.
