COSTCO going from Pepsi to Coke!

Par4QC

rsvman2 I don't think Pepsi is actually sweeter.

jmo, but Coke is far and away sweeter. It's how I would tell the diff 100/100 times.

You want a real taste test to screw testers up, throw in RC Cola with the Coke and Pepsi.

I remember the RC colas when they had the MLB players on the can, back in late 70's. They were $.25/can.

When I was in elementary school we had a snack lady who would come around to every room around 1pm and sell soda pop and Lance peanut butter cheese crackers. She had a little cart with everything, even candy bars. I would always make sure I got an RC cola, in hopes of getting one with Pete Rose on the front.

That would never be allowed today.

PA-PLAYA Lance peanut butter cheese crackers.

😄Just bought some today at Dollar General.
Cost more than the nickel from the machine at the old pool hall though. But not a whole lot more.

azgreg Little known fact. Coke and Pepsico are subsidereries of Mega Corp and are made in the same place.

Total Fake News...Where did you dig up that bit of misinformation??? Mega Corp is not in the soft drink bottling business. On top of that regulators would never permit one entity to own both Coke and Pepsi. But, the real issue would be where would Mega Corp get the funding to purchase either, let alone both bottlers??? Together they have a market Cap of Half a Trillion Dollars!!! Musk and Bezos together would have some trouble scraping that much cash together.

rsvman2 For the record, I am talking not talking about the diet versions, which tolme taste dramatically different.)

That's my drink and I know the difference.

Both Coke and Pepsi own various brands, but are not a subsidiary of a major company. Coca Cola, for example, is worth $275 billion. Pepsico is worth $212 billion.

Actually there's a reason why Coca Cola tastes sweeter at McDonalds.

"McDonald's uses a higher ratio of syrup to water than other fast food restaurants. This is to account for the ice melting in the drink, so the Coke doesn't water down."

sdandrea1 Tab was torpedoed by Diet Coke in sales. It was finally discontinued in 2020.

I still think the reason was the killing of drinkers.
It was that bad. And I only ever took 1 small sip.
I am a survivor.
