Pepsi 1.5 litre 49p   
Pepsi 1.5 litre bottles at Kwik Save for 49p.

OK it's Pepsi and doesn't taste anywhere near as good as the real thing, but 
it will do at that price.

The whole "New Coke" issue in the 80s was all about Coke being too 'spikey' 
and harsh in comparison to its main rival.
The blind tests that Coca Cola did showed Pepsi has a much softer, smoother 
appeal, and was eclipsing Coke is people's preference. Non-blind tests 
showed about 50-50, revealing 'the power of the brand'.

If you notice, Vanilla Coke is much softer impact which indicates that this 
style was probably selected because it did best in the market research phase 
of development.

I still like original Coke myself, as it has a unique taste, but I find 
myself going through Coke and Pepsi phases.

And for god sakes don't drink 'diet' versions of anything. The sugar 
substitutes in them are poisonous.

I much prefer Coke, if you like Pepsi then the shops own make 'Premium' or 
'American Style' tastes exactly the same as Pepsi.

Pepsi just tastes not quite right.

So you are saying that Nutrasweet and Aspartame have no detrimental effects 
on the human body?
