We're going to settle this once and for all, right here, on DU!

[HEyHEY]

Poll question: We're going to settle this once and for all, right here, on DU!

Which do you prefer?

I really don't like Pepsi, and I get mad when some bar tender gives me pepsi when I ask for a rum and coke...it should really be illegal to pull that kinda shit.
:-)

[WillParkinson]

1. You forgot the most important one...

NONE of the above

[ET Awful]

2. I went with Pepsi, BUT

I really, really like Pepsi Vanilla :)

[Intelsucks]

4. The diet version isn't bad either. It doesn't taste like a diet drink.

n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. where is "other"?

I like all the cheap alternatives that don't alter politics with HUGE contributions from sugar water companies.

[HEyHEY]

8. well no there on account of

I just want to know between these two..I just added DP in cause it ROCKS!

[HuckleB]

5. Royal Crown Rules!

RC, all the way!

Though, I admit that I don't like Coca Cola, period.

[HEyHEY]

12. they still making that stuff?

Or how about jolt!

[HuckleB]

16. Yes. RC is in all the stores, and many local pubs and eateries!

Jolt always sucked. It was/is something marketed to college kids who don't like coffee.

RC has been around forever. It's the real classic.

[HEyHEY]

20. I think at one time RC was the number one cola in Canada

I talking like in the 70s, so fairly recently

[HuckleB]

23. RC is a great product. Clearly they were outmarketed big time.

[trof]

38. and a Moon Pie.

The working man's lunch.

[terrya]

6. It tastes the SAME!!!

Pepsi and Coke taste the same. There's no discernable difference between the two. IMO.

Terry

[HEyHEY]

10. I disagree

I can taste the diff, Coke is a bit stronger

[terrya]

14. I must be the only one on this.

When they were showing those "Pepsi taste test" ads...you know, the ones where they blindfolded people and asked them which tasted better, Coke or Pepsi...if I had done that, I'd be the only one who couldn't tell any difference betweem the two.

[HEyHEY]

17. remember the pepsi taste patrol

Free pepsi on your door!

[Capn Sunshine]

45. Yep.

Don't tell me otherwise. just don't care about colas. They have little to do with my life.

[camero]

7. Pepsi One

:toast:

[ldoolin]

9. None of the above

Phosphoric acid causes kidney stones.

It's 7-Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Squirt, root beer, ginger ale, etc. - but no Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. P. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Icky. Yuk.

[supernova]

11. Diet Rite

b/c they use Splenda, not nutrasweet. I still enjoy Fresca, though. (Fresca is good w/ Bushmill's)

[HEyHEY]

13. heretic!

You mix Bushmill's with fresca!

I'm feeling dizzy!

[HuckleB]

19. You gotta mix it with something.

Talk about a good marketing campaign. Bushmills is the most overpriced whiskey one can buy.

[HEyHEY]

21. I don't like it as much as jameson

But all you need is three ice cubes in it

[HuckleB]

24. Ack. If you gotta do it straight, just shoot it.

It's the only way.

;)

[HEyHEY]

25. Good whiskey has to mixed with water or ice

Because the alcohol is so strong that it over takes the flavour of the whiskey...plus I like my whiskey as cold as can be

[HuckleB]

29. Good whiskey, yes. Not Bushmills.

:evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

31. If you don't like Bushmill's

What are your favs?
I like Tullamore Dew, Jameson, and Glenmorangie Scotch whiskey.
Royal reserve is my favourite rye

[HuckleB]

37. Woodford Reserve, Glenlivet, Evan Williams Single Barrel are my usual

whiskeys. I'll go down to Makers on ice, but Bushmills equates with Jim Beam to me. It's a shot or a mixer.

[Mrs. Venation]

48. Good Whiskey Should Only Be Consumed One Way: Neat

It's the other stuff that has to be watered down or served ice cold to kill the taste. Give me my single-malt MacAllan neat and don't even think about polluting that nectar of the gods with water or ice!

[bubblesby2002]

62. Absolutely.......

......correct. Sometimes, when it's a cask-strength a little (and I mean a tiny amt) of water opens up the taste and the body. I love a Macallan too. In fact just about all scotch whisky (even JW Red in a pinch) is better than any thing else. IMHO.:9

[Mikimouse]

15. Moxie..a blast from the past

n/t

[ldoolin]

18. An acquired taste!

Just wondering, where does one get Moxie outside of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont?

An acquired taste to be sure, but I like the stuff. Any way to mail order it out west? :)

[Mikimouse]

26. I haven't seen the original stuff in many years

I used to get it in Mass., but it seemed to disappear around 1974 or 1975, along with Cott Birch Beer (Yum). Nothing like Moxie in Texas, drat the luck. Youare right, though, it is definitely an acquired taste.

[bicentennial_baby]

28. We still have Moxie in MA

Right at the local grocery store

[Mikimouse]

35. Well, rats! Maybe it was just my location

I lived on the south shore for many years, and never saw any hint of it. When I lived in Boston, there was plenty of it around.

[mitchtv]

57. one gets Moxie at the liquor store on Sonoma Plaza

along with other esoteric drinks.

[Redneck Socialist]

27. Moxie rules!

Simply the best, bar none!

[KCDem]

22. diet coke, regular pepsi

I can't stand regular coke or diet pepsi. Weird, huh?

[IronLionZion]

39. exact opposite for me

I love Classic Coke and Diet Pepsi and hate diet coke and regular Pepsi

[mitchtv]

30. Pepsi ONE

is the only one I drink

[lpbk2713]

32. Other / No Preference

I don't drink them that often so I can't really tell the difference.

[carols]

33. I know I really should be boycotting Coke

It's human rights record is awful, but it really does taste better to me.
Carol

[SmileyBoy]

34. Frostop Root Beer!!!

It's bottled in Columbus, Ohio, and it's only 99 CENTS for a LITER!!! And it tastes the best!!!

Only BP stations up here sell the stuff.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

36. Why are you drinking Dr. Pepper?

It's owned by the Carlysle Group.
You know, the one that's financing the war in Iraq?
They bought out Cadbury a few years back.
I could be wrong, though. (And I hope I am, because I love Dr. Pepper, and haven't had one since I found out their new onwers.)

[HEyHEY]

40. I actually haven't had one in about two years

I don't buy pop usually unless it's at a restaruant and most places don't sell Dp

[proud patriot]

41. I perfer coca cola but haven't bought in awhile , been drinking Shasta

it's bottled locally , and gives people work around here
so that's what I drink now .

[ironflange]

42. I prefer Pepsi, though only slightly

For example, if the Pepsi at the 7-11 isn't as cold as the Coke, then Coke it is. Or if one Slurpee is slightly runnier, I'll take the thicker one.

It's not worth getting all riled up about.

[ronnykmarshall]

43. TAB RULES!!!

[HEyHEY]

44. You're a sick sick man

what's next . "Slice"?

[Mrs. Venation]

46. Pepsi Never Touches These Lips

That stuff is vile; it's too sweet, and the diet version is even worse! Maybe it's the southerner in me, but give me my Coca-Cola any time!

Mrs. Venation

Edited for spelling

[HuckleB]

52. The southerner in you should be going RC all the way!

[sasquatch]

47. Ale-8-One Ginger Ale

:)

[VOX]

49. Ice-cold Coca-Cola, in a glass bottle...The *best*!!!

Nothing else comes close.

IMHO, of course. :toast:

[ironflange]

58. Can't beat the glass bottles

Costco sells 24-packs of the small glass bottles of Coke. For added authenticity, you have to use an opener, no sissy-ass twist-off caps here.

[Paragon]

50. Boilermakers taste like Dr. Pepper

:evilgrin: What is it, beer & peppermint Schnapp's, I think?

[HEyHEY]

51. We make em ...

with beer, amaretto, and coke...and we call em dr peppers!

[SOteric]

53. Robb is a dingbat!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

54. Pepsi is too sweet. Yuck. And it leaves a funny aftertaste.

I even prefer generic supermarket cola to Pepsi.

[Whitacre D_WI]

55. I'm a Pepper.

Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?

[Padraig18]

56. Gimme the REAL thing, please.

Like you, if I wanted a f****** Pepsi, I'd say I wanted a Pepsi!:P

[angee_is_mad]

59. Cheerwine

since I am from the south... hahahahaha At least I did not say Ice Tea!

[BritishHuman]

60. I believe it was Milo in Bloom County who pointed out...

that they both taste like malted battery acid.

That's why I voted for Dr Pepper.

[bubblesby2002]

61. Made a mistake

Somehow my finger made an error and voted for Coke when I meant to vote for Dr. Pepper which really is my favourite pop. But my very favourite drink is Bowmore Darkest Single Malt all on its own. It is pretty yummy.:9
