You're just weird. ;-)

MEXICAN COKE with real sugar instead of corn syrup. I don’t drink very many soft drinks, but occasionally one hits the spot and this is what I like. With a squeeze of lime juice.
I’ll have an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. Now.
The only thing missing is that pepsi drinkers are alcoholic wife beating child molesters. (and quite possibly terrorists)
Sheesh
I don’t know. The survey looks entirely reasonable to me. Hehehehe.
Coke with my burger and fries. Coke with the right kind of rum (Santa Tereasa Superior) and lime. Almost never Coke by it’s self.
I just don’t like Pepsi!
I always drank both, but an ice cold Pepsi in the swirled glass bottle almost burned going down and it had a much sweeter and distinctive taste than Coke.
Today, I drink Pepsi Throwback or the Mexican Papsi in the glass bottle if I find a Roach Coach that has it. In CA, they banned Mexican Pepsi because the paint on the OUTSIDE of some of the bottles had lead in it. First thing I ever do is lick the outside of the bottle you know, idiots...
I like an occasional Diet Dr Pepper. Does that make me a fat hillybilly? Or, should I say that I am a voluptuous gal of Southern descent?
Ok fine, but what about us Dr. Pepper people, where do we fit on the spectrum?
You're just weird. ;-)
I don’t fit the stereotype, as a Pepsi drinker. I am a citizen of America (though admittedly the Pepsi rebranding in ‘08 to look kinda like the Obama “O” was not pleasing to me). I work and play hard and am a conservative and vote Republican.
To paraphrase the SNL skit based on the Billy Goat Tavern,
for me it’s “No Coke, Pepsi”. Though diet Coke with lime is OK.
Might be true for fountain drinks, since their are so many variables with mixing syrup and making carbonated water at the dispenser, but any Coke or Pepsi lover can instantly tell the difference in a blind test when using bottled product.
I will drink a little Moxie, if I can ever find it!
Moxie originated as a patent medicine called “Moxie Nerve Food,”[2] which was created around 1876 by Dr. Augustin Thompson of Union, Maine.[3]

A lawsuit was filed in 1907 by the Moxie Nerve Food Company of New England against the Modox Company and others, alleging that they had copied the ingredients of Moxie ...

Essentially you're saying that Coke drinkers are Southerners or rural folks and Pepsi drinkers are Northerners or big city people.
Or maybe it's the similarity of Pepsi's logo with Obama's.
But that doesn't really work.
Coke has a massive captive audience in the Southeast. People there would probably much rather drink some off-brand competitor than Pepsi.
But apart from that, in the country as a whole, "Pepsi" is kind of a silly name. It's the sort of word grandma might have used.
So those sophisticated urban cosmopolitans order Coke a lot more than Pepsi. The further you get from Atlanta the more likely it is that your poor, stay-at-home country mice drink Pepsi or RC or the supermarket generic and the affluent, elitist city mice buy Coke.
And didn't Jimmy Carter refer to the Coca-Cola company as his State Department when he ran for President?
Wow, that reminds me of growing up back home in Tennessee.
I'm a Coke Zero drinker. The Pepsi Throwback with real sugar is good however.
“... where do we fit on the spectrum?”
(post 27) If you are drinking regular Dr. Pepper then you aren’t voluptuous. There, you fit into a spectrum. LOL
A)Coke
B)Pepsi
Wikipedia:
>>Ads for New Coke were booed heavily when they appeared on the scoreboard at the Houston Astrodome. Even Fidel Castro, a longtime Coke drinker, contributed to the backlash, calling New Coke a sign of American capitalist decadence.
Thank you, that was quite interesting. :)
Well, when called for I’m a Coke drinker, I hate Pepsi, although I’m not much of a soft drink drinker anyway. But I sound more like I fit the demographics of a Pepsi drinker!
