Which is better, Coke or Pepsi?

Which is better, Coke or Pepsi?
Depends what you are looking for, per 7.5 oz:
  • Pepsi has more caffeine: 24 mg vs. 21 mg in Coke.
  • Coke has fewer calories: 90 calories vs. 100 calories in Pepsi.
  • Pepsi has less sodium: 20 mg vs. 30 mg in Coke. Pepsi seems especially proud about this, and markets “very low sodium.”
  • Coke has less sugar: 25 g vs. 26 g in Pepsi.
    • So Pepsi IS sweeter!
  • From my quick blind taste test:
    • Coke has more of a vanilla / caramel taste and goes down “smoother.”
    • Pepsi has more of a citrus flavor. I also checked it’s ingredients and Pepsi lists “citric acid,” while Coke does not. However, both list “natural flavors.”
  • These figures are for the US market. Interesting that the sugar content and ingredients vary by countryHow much sugar is there in a fizzy drink? It depends where you buy it. The sugar content in Coke Ranges 7 grams in the larger 12 ounce can, from Thailand to Canada.
