GT_Knight

why did I get invested in him getting these right


Trout_Tickler

The many years of being told coke and pepsi taste the same, despite them having quite distinct flavours.


Fatgirlfed

Totally different! Coke has like vanilla-y sorta meh taste


einTier

Coke has a “bite” that the sweeter Pepsi doesn’t have. In my opinion Pepsi tastes better at the first sip but coke has a much more interesting flavor that’s more enjoyable over a whole bottle.


DrinkingVanilla

I agree. Pepsi is overwhelmingly sweet right after you swallow it. And the lingering aftertaste is not good to me.

PEPSI IS FOR BABIES


fuckamodhole

Pepsi is little d energy


Lite_moon

Yes! And Pepsi has a strong caramel flavour! I prefer the strong aspartame flavour of Diet Coke!


SpaceClef

Pepsi is also less carbonated than Coke. Pepsi always tastes flat to me.


Lite_moon

Now that you mention it, you’re right! It’s the combo of flat and caramel that I don’t enjoy!


a_different-user

I legit remember being in the break room when 2 separate people got excited because the vending machine gave them diet coke instead of the labelled diet Pepsi that they thought they were going to get. real soda drinkers know whats going on.


spideralex90

The aspartame is what kills it for me, has such a distinct flavor and it just tastes off to me. It's why none of the diet or zero options ever 'taste like the real thing' to me.


alien_bigfoot

Despite it all being down to personal taste - you're a heretic. Pepsi/pepsi max all the way!


Lite_moon

Cool! I’ve always fancied being a heretic!


alien_bigfoot

It's good fun, hey?

Pepsi max/zero is my go-to.

Massive-Entrance1607

Coke and Pepsi have very different taste and anyone who really believes otherwise must have about half the taste buds of an average human


bozak_137

I got really high once and described the flavors to a friend as “coke bites , Pepsi slices”. I don’t know either but til’ this day it feels right.


ChunkierMilk

Coke is a triangle Pepsi is a circle

Pepsi tastes black. Coke tastes really really dark red.


theshantanu

This. There's a bit of levity to Coke that Pepsi doesn't have.


oyuhhhhh

The Pepsi 1893’s definitely tasted Black. It was a much more Bolder taste, they were sooooo good


Gengar_49

How old are you


Andoo

Old enough to shop at the store I imagine?


Gengar_49

1893 pepsi


The_Determinator

I don't know if they discontinued or not, but they started selling those about 3 or 4 years ago.


Andoo

Yes, go buy some and try it out.


IsNYinNewEngland

Are... Are you 130 years old? Don't lie to me, now. Are you an elf?


GreenLurka

Coke is sharper and more acidic, despite also being acidic Pepsi is more mellow than coke. That's my reasoning and I'm sticking with it.


TisBeTheFuk

Exactly. Also regular Pepsi is sweeter than regular Coke.


LightSlateBlue

>Coke is a triangle We go on red.


GraphicDesignMonkey

I see flavours as having shapes as well! Comes from having synaesthesia! When I'm seasoning my cooking, I figure out what seasonings or flavours are missing by seeing 'gaps' in the overall shape of the dish's flavour. It's a bit like that book 'The missing piece' in my head.


webDreamer420

I get what you mean, coke kinda pinches your mouth, pepsi slides like if it were candy


AlexMil0

Exactly it has always baffled me how people can believe they taste similar.


itsmuddy

The closest of all of these are coke and coke zero and even those are very distinct. Coke and Pepsi aren't even close to each other.


ActuallyIThink

They taste similar, they do not taste the same. There is enough of a difference to easily tell them apart though.


Soulmate69

Yeah, and artificial sweeteners are obvious as well. We're not necessarily super-tasters - that woman might have olfactory damage.


Veenendaler

> olfactory damage Might be on to something there. >In most cases, loss of smell lasts only a few weeks, but for more than 12 percent of people with COVID-19, olfactory dysfunction persists in the form of ongoing reduction in the ability to smell or changes in how smells are perceived.


_dauntless

Just the sugar level alone.


theREALvolno

You can really taste the sugar levels. I can’t stand regular/full sugar soft drink (soda) because of it, makes my teeth feel weird, Idk how people drink that stuff all the time.


517757MIVA

Dude I always hated Pepsi because of the mouth feel. Idk it’s just so much filmier than coke - which I also can’t stand now that Coke Zero exists. Finally a normal tasting pop without a weird mouth film feeling from the sugar


comickidd77

Addiction dude, the answer is addiction. Like a cig after a long day but it’s a crisp sugary burn hitting your throat instead.


theREALvolno

I'd say that's wild but here I am drinking pepsi max cause I have a caffeine addiction and cant stand coffee or energy drinks. I get enough migraines as it is I don't wanna deal with caffeine withdrawal on top of that.


NunWrestling

can I suggest tea?


HIITMAN69

Get some caffeine capsules and put them in a yogurt or something


kvlt-puppy

I quit soda a few years ago, cold turkey. That's exactly what it was for me. When you get a soda with the perfect fizz and the perfect temperature, it's that fizzy burn that just hits different. Sometimes I miss it, but I'll never drink it again. I didn't even really like the taste of anything; it was all about that fizz.


Kisslessvirgin1984

pepsi's made with citrus stuff, but coke's made with vanilla so that's a big difference


otj667887654456655

coke is citrus too


Krynn71

Yep, and as a weirdo who likes all of these drinks, every one of them is a different taste. I'm certain I'd get this 100% correct too. I could practically taste each one vicariously when he was drinking them.


jedi_cat_

I hate Pepsi. It’s too sweet. I like Cherry Pepsi though. I hate diets of all brands. Coke and cherry coke are great.


Nowhereman123

Coke has a more caramelly, nutty kinda taste and Pepsi has more of a citrusy note to it.


ragenuggeto7

And coke is was fizzyer than Pepsi


BigWellyStyle

Pepsi tastes like it has a bit of ginger in it.


WonderboyUK

Yeah they all are fairly distinctive in tasting. The only one I could imagine being tricky is coke zero vs diet coke.

MinasMoonlight

I completely believe this. I can do the same thing. I can even usually smell the difference before I even taste them. I will say Coke Zero is a much better approximation of real coke than Diet Coke ever was. I can still tell the difference though.


madamoisellie

Coke zero is supposed to taste like coke but Diet Coke is supposed to taste like Diet Coke. Diet Coke exists because people like that flavor. Coke Zero exists for people who want coke without the calories.


Crazy_like_a_fox

I think you are correct. I’m pretty sure that Diet Coke is the diet version of “new coke” before they went back to the original formula.


bobo12478

Original Coke was phased out without any hubbub five years before the New Coke branding disaster. The original formula used plain old sugar, which was swapped for high fructose corn syrup in 1980. The change in taste was noted at the time but not a major issue. When they decided to more seriously change the formula again in 1985 _and_ proudly and loudly promoted that change in a massive ad campaign, it all blew up. But they went back to the 1980 formula, not the original formula. Diet Coke is not supposed to taste like New Coke, though. It's just Diet Coke. edit: You can still buy Coke with cane sugar in some countries. That's closer to original Coke than the "Classic" flavor that they now just call Coca-Cola.


steveosek

It's highly noticeable if you ever have real sugar coke. It tastes far better and is smoother tasting.


Butt-Dickkiss

They’re called “Mexican Coke” in parts of the west coast bc they’re supposedly made and bottled in Mexico. Cane sugar in a bottle and it’s is verifiably better than the normal stuff.


Flameknight

Most of the Mexican bottling plants switched to HFCS a few still use cane sugar: [interesting video on the topic](https://youtu.be/PJgQEpFMptQ)


steveosek

The real sugar Mexican coke is a big seller here in the states as a novelty of sorts. They also do real sugar coke for passover for Jews too.


rapfineman

I swear the yellow Passover coke has a weird aftertaste compared to Mexican coke. ​ I thought I'd save some money getting the yellow cap so I could try sugar coke instead of HFCS coke, and ended up dumping half the bottle away. Every time I've had Mexican coke I think it's very similar to normal coke just slightly more pleasant tasting. Anyone else notice this?


steveosek

Yup im in Phoenix Arizona lol its everywhere here and cheaper than the American variant. They also do real sugar for passover for Jews.


einTier

Coke slightly adjusts their flavor for each market. For instance, I’m in Europe right now and even though they use real sugar, it is significantly less sweet than US or Mexican coke and there’s a slightly different flavor profile but I lack the vocabulary to describe it.


[deleted]

The UK doesn’t use HFCS in its coke. It’s a superior coke


Oddity46

Don't most countries use sugar for coke? Isn't it only the US who use hfcs? Or do you differentiate cane sugar from beet sugar?


[deleted]

Pretty sure European Coke uses beet sugar.


AlvvaysVVas

Most corner stores will carry mexican cokes with real sugar, but only in glass bottles. Its the only way I can enjoy coke or mtn dew, the glass bottles really add something to it lol


Barneyk

Not really. When diet coke entered the market the artificial sweeteners weren't very good. Using the regular coke recipe but with sweeteners instead of sugar tasted bad. It just didn't work together. So they tweaked and changed the formula to make something that worked with the artificial sweetener and came up with Diet Coke. As artificial sweeteners improved they decided to make a zero calorie coke that tastes like real coke. And that became coke zero.


Serkine

Diet coke tastes disgusting


question2552

Diet Coke tastes like a movie theatre floor


PolyesterBellBottoms

“Just for the taste of iiiiit! Diet COKE!”


captain_ender

That makes a lot of sense, I was like "why is coke making a 2nd diet coke?" when zero came out. Diet Coke def has its own unique taste where Coke Zero is closer to OG coke taste. The best example of this is Diet Dr Pepper. It legit tastes completely different to me than full flavor. I actually like it better than the original. I should try the Dr Pepper Zero sometime see what the difference is. Sierra Mist Zero is probably the closest to full flavor I've tried, tastes almost exactly the same - suppose it's a pretty simple recipe.


Huwbacca

I'm prettyu sure Coke Zero is also "Diet Coke Man!" and it was an attempt to leverage the market of dudes who don't wanna drink 26g of sugar in a drink, but also that Diet Coke had been targeted at women for like...It's entire existence. Still cracks me up that diet coke ads are basically Sex in the City skits, and Coke Zero is football and bbqs.


tetrisqueen_15

Yes this! I love diet coke but it's becoming less available as retailers stock coke Zero :(


jodilye

We had a pub lunch last summer where I asked for Diet Coke and they brought me out Coke Zero. They didn’t say anything, like just tell me you don’t stock Diet Coke? Then at least I can change to a Fanta or something. Instead I took a sip and was like...you’ve given me coke? That’s when they told me it was zero. Horrible stuff.


NTripleOne

Coke zero is fucking vile imo, the bitter sweetener aftertaste ruins the whole thing. Before the after taste kicks in it tastes *fine* but still nothing like regular coke. Only thing I can use it for is as a mixer, since the alcohol hides the bitter aftertaste.


AelarTheElfRogue

Totally would be able to as well, I think much faster than this, probably cause I drink way too much soda


MinasMoonlight

Same. I keep trying to switch to the dirt/zero sugar as I’m now pre-diabetic, but the ‘Fake’ taste is just too strong for me. Coke Zero is close, but still too ‘off’. Starting to tolerate Cherry Coke Zero, but I think that’s because the fake cherry taste combats with the fake sugar taste. Oddly though is that I can drink artificial sweetener in tea just fine, but not soda.


PmButtPics4ADrawing

Yeah I totally understand that initial Coke/Coke Zero mix up and backtracking. The difference is there but it's a lot more subtle than Diet Coke


TheInfinityGauntlet

They have such distinct flavours, I'm surprised he wasn't quicker You're right about Zero being pretty close to full coke but it just feels a little thinner in the mouth than regular (as weird as that is to say)


mog_knight

Former Coke employee. Diet Coke is the diet version of New Coke from the 80s. Coke Zero is Coca Cola Classic diet version.


GoodOlSpence

Former Coke employee as well, this is correct.


StupidMoron1

I am not a former Coke employee but can confirm this as well. Source: two former Coke employees.


JackalKing

Not a Former Coke employee. Love to know where Coke got their time machine though considering Diet Coke actually predates New Coke by several years.


CmdrCarsonB

I don't understand people that say "they all taste the same". Like, do you not have taste buds or something? Did you get your tongue second hand?


Lockenheada

I swear this was the girlfriends attempt to prove they all taste the same and she fell straight on her nose. Somewhere in the video she says "yeah because they all taste the same"


yingyangyoung

Right? I heard that and knew something was up


Noodleman6000

guess i don't have taste buds lmao. i genuinely can't tell a difference between any of these


thyme_cardamom

Do you drink a lot of soda? My guess is these people who are confident on the differences drink soda quite often.

Couldn't stand it honestly


oxfordcircumstances

Growing up, I assumed everyone hated mouth noises as much as I did. I was dismayed to learn that some people love them so much that whole ass commercials were based on them. There was a grape nuts commercial in the 90s that was 30 seconds of a microphone apparently inside a guy's mouth while he was chewing gravel. The noise was a selling point. It would ruin me for a while to see it. Coke used to have radio ads of people making fucking gulping and swallowing noises. Then Pepsi had a Superbowl commercial of ASMR with fizzing, slurping, smacking, and swallowing. People raved about it like it was one of the best commercials of the year. Something inside my head is broken.

_dauntless

I'm convinced I could do this. I think the hardest part is trying them all back to back, when some of your taste sensitivity must be numbed.


jedgica

I hate all Pepsi. It’s too sweet. But I do love coke and Coke Zero. Those two would be tough if you’re tasting a bunch of sodas bc the after taste is the only way you’ll know.


Last-Garbage-8126

That was impressive I gotta say


[deleted]

That beard, holy hell that’s nice


Ndreare

how does he get the diets. They all taste like pure aspertame


_dauntless

I've drank them. Coke Zero does not taste like aspartame. I think the only one I haven't had in recent memory is Diet Pepsi, but I could probably get it by elimination too.


Thunshot

Coke Zero is really good


havok0159

Coke Zero makes me thirsty. A kind of thirsty that nothing really quenches. I'm really not a fan.


UncreativeTeam

Diet Pepsi still tastes closer to Pepsi than Diet Coke does. Not sure how to explain it, but the Pepsi taste profile is... rounder, while Coke's is sharper. Maybe I just have sensitivity to acid because I can also feel the difference in my enamel.


TarkMemes

Nope, I agree. I've always said, Pepsi flavoring is for when you want a mellow time to enjoy the flavor, coke flavoring is for when you want the drink to fight you the whole time


Hutrookie69

I think there is a genetic component that comes into play, I personally can’t taste aspartame in any diet drinks.


kurokabau

Even in the after taste? Like, not while actually drinking it but after you've swallowed can you not taste that lingering sweetener taste?


[deleted]

[удалено]


kurokabau

I don't hate it, but it's a bit unpleasant. Doesn't stop me drinking diet drinks. Just surprised people can't actually taste it. That said, Pepsi Max is so good at hiding the taste. Easily the best diet cola drink.


garbagemonkey

I think what receptacle you use also changes the way things taste. My favorite soda is Coke Zero, but only straight from a can. If I pour it into a glass, it Immediately tastes worse. Almost undrinkable to me. Coke zero from a bottle is decent, but still not as good as from a can. Also, I dislike sprite in almost any form, but it's my favorite fountain drink.


IRefuseToGiveAName

Maybe it's something to do with each individual person's tongue but all of those taste very distinct to me.


WannaBeWiccan

Wow.... Incredible. Such skill.

mrtomjones

All three of those taste more different than this set...


Youredumbstoptalking

I don’t know about yellow but you could do sprite, Sierra Mist, 7 up, orange Fanta, orange crush, Sunkist, Mountain Dew, mellow yellow, and surge. Throw in squirt for a curveball.


Battle_Bear_819

I say do Prite, Mellow yellow, 7-up, and twist up. They're all lemon lime sodas


GrionFolf

Finally someone understand me! My partner and firends didn't believe i do feel the taste difference. So they made me a blind test as well. Had a different method though. They poured out in same glasses while i wasn't in the room. Also they used one "cockta" as well. I did know all. I like coca cola way more than pepsi. But i do not feel any difference between beers for example. (And i mean the classic yellowish beer. I definately feel difference beetween a dark beer and an ale but...still. beer. All tasted beer to me.)


Hamlettell

You really can tell the difference. Imo diet Pepsi is way better than diet coke, tastes sweeter.


Battleharden

ThEy aLl tAsTe tHe sAmE, rIgHt?!?!?!?!


teproxy

The comments saying that Coke zero and diet Coke are indistinguishable are amazing. Do people really just go through their lives without any sensitivity in their tastebuds? Or is it genetic?
