Coke, but I save drinking the real thing for special occasions, and drink Coke Zero on a daily basis.

I very rarely drink soda, but when I do, I prefer (Diet Caffeine-Free) Pepsi

I used to rank Coke then Virgin Cola then Pepsi when it was around.

The bottle was designed to resemble Pamela Anderson

I miss it as well (even though I would have given it up to save my bones like I did Coke)

As Virgin Cola sponsored numerous Music events, it was one of the few competetively priced and COLD drinks you could get on a sweltering day somewhere like Reading Festival.

Diet Pepsi, drinking one right now. But I am trying (and generally succeeding) to drink less of it. The main replacement is brewed iced tea. I have one of those silly coffee maker-like brewing machines in the kitchen here at the office, and while that was totally in the way at home, here it's a great idea.

I try to only drink one Diet Pepsi a day now, but there's a case in the fridge because of a meeting, so I've had two today.

I don't much like Diet Coke, but I'll drink it in a pinch. I tried Coke Zero for the first time recently, not as bad as Diet Coke, but I still prefer Diet Pepsi over both. Diet Pepsi Max is interesting, but I generally stay away unless I really do need extra caffeine. Regulars (even ones made with all sugar rather than HFCS) are pretty hard to drink anymore. I have to be really desperate for the taste of cola....

Pepsi with Preztels is the best snack/drink combo on earth. The salty pretzel compliments the Pepsi so well

I drink both but lean towards Pepsi.

If something can unrust a nail (Coke) then I don't think it should be consumed daily

They're so similar as to be indistinguishable from one another. I buy whichever is on sale.

! Seriously? The tastes are completely different (at least to me). I can definitely tell which is which. Pepsi is definitely sweeter, but Coke has more of a refreshing "hit" when you take a sip. It seems like Coke is more more tangy/bubbly

Reverse that for me. When I drink pop (which is rarely anymore) an icy cold Pepsi is my top choice, but when it comes to diet drinks I prefer Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi. No accounting for tastes, it seems.

For regular soda, Coke has the much better product. For diet soda, Coke has an awful aftertaste, so Pepsi definitely has the better product. Overall, I tend to drink more diet pepsi than anything else.

Can't stand regular coke, but I like plain old diet coke every now and then. Maybe once a month I'll have a diet pepsi as a substitute for diet coke.
