Coke vs Pepsi
So when I arrived in the USA I realised that Coke tasted very different to what it does in SA, so I tried a Pepsi, and it tasted better, much to my surprise, but subsequent to that I have had some of each, and was still undecided, so today I decided to put it to the test, after going to the bank, to cash a cheque that I was given for staff training weekend, even though I specifically gave them my direct deposit details gnnnn!!! I went to the local Shaws (probably the US equivalent of Pick 'n Pay) and bought a 20 OZ bottle of both beverages. I then went to Java madness (where I purchased an ice coffee for Vaughn, who lent me his car for the morning) and sat on the bench outside to perform the scientific experiment. The Pepsi had clearly been less in the shade, so was less cold, and therefore after the first tasting, was definitely the loser, but since I wanted this to be a fair competition, I went back to Java, and asked for a cup with ice, and cooled the Pepsi down. However, even after being cooled, the Pepsi was still of inferior taste to the Coke, so even though they have weird preservatives in the Coke, and even though they use corn syrup rather than real sugar, I still enjoy Coke better than Pepsi.
