Diet Pepsi has the same artificial sweetener gross aftertaste flavors as Diet Coke and all of the other zero cal/zero sugar diet drinks, so I can't agree with you there.

Regardless, I rarely drink any of them anymore.  I reserve pretty much all of my sinful high calorie consumption for beer, wine, and various mixed drinks.

Yes.  Aspartame.  We have always referred to it as “assflames”

Never thought I'd see a semi-heated debate amongst grown men over cola.  LOL

FWIW -- Coke is better than Pepsi.  But, the only way I can drink one, on rare occasion, is a fountain drink, or a canned drink poured over ice.

Those plastic bottles --- gross.  Just about everything tastes nasty out of those --- except water.

And even if I was 500 lbs, I'd never drink a diet soda of any kind.  How can anyone choke it down?  That taste never goes away, and anyone that has ever been accidentally served a diet Coke in place of a regular Coke, knows exactly what I am talking about.

Even as someone who had four diabetic grandparents, I'd rather drink regular Coke and deal with the consequences than drink roofing tar disguised as Diet Coke.

I prefer the tastes of the diets versus the regular.

Too sweet for my pallet. 

I could not tolerate Diet Rite or Tab under any conditions. Rather drink bunny piss.

I'm not sure I ever had a Tab.  As kids we drank fully leaded soft drinks and my parents didn't drink them at all, they drank iced tea.

MSU will be playing their 5th consecutive night game against Michigan next week.  On a 5th different network.

I think part of the problem is they have killed night games = big game.  They stick random games there to fill time slots.  Then FOX realized they could dominate noon.

If they do reach some joint agreement, I hope they do something much more like the NFL in terms of scheduling (stupid Thursday night aside)

Like if the P4 agreed to all put their 2 biggest games at 3:30 and 7:30, and every other game at noon, you would get 4 big games at 3:30, 4 big games at 7:30, and then tons of games at noon, that may not be "big" but by quantity, a few are likely to be big, and you can find those.

Obviously won't happen because they wouldn't want BTN or SECN or whatever to have nothing to show after 4, but ir would be better for viewing, and I think bring back big game feel to late afternoon/primetime

My wife likes Coke, so we have it on hand.  I drink maybe 6 a year, I do my best to avoid sugar (fructose in particular).  I certainly prefer Coke to Pepsi, but other folks feel differently of course.  There isn't much Pepsi to be had around these parts outside Kroger et al.

My ex would drink Tab and bourbon.  That's what she'd order, either that or "house Chablis" when we were out and about.  Bartenders uniformly found Tab and bourbon to be weird.  I think "house Chablis" is weird now, but didn't know any better then.

I recall when Gallo sold their version of "chablis" and something called "Hearty Burgundy", which is kind of an oxymoron and them some, sort of akin to "Calfornia Champagne" (which is still allowed for some brands).

Statistically, it's not hyperbolic at all.  But no one is interested in validity, it seems.
Instead of saying "no one buys Pepsi", which is an absolute, one could accurately just say "More folks buy Coke than Pepsi, given the option."

It's a matter of plain English and being accurate, if one is interested in validity.

In communication, precision is often useful over hyperbole and overgeneralizations.

The whole coke vs pepsi thing is weird to me as a buyer for reasons I can't fully explain other than some kind of subconscious deep advertising brain-washing "thing".  

For example, sometimes I'm out and about and for whatever reason they don't have my drink of choice, Dr Pepper.  So they have coke.  I'll drink a coke for the first time in forever and think. that was good.  

Next time they'll have pepsi, but not coke.  I'll get the pepsi, and think, that was actually really good, I like Pepsi just as much as I like Dr. Pepper.  But, when I'm out and about and they have Coke or Pepsi, I always choose the coke, never the pepsi, unless I'm really thinking about it.  

So whatever coke has done advertising wise over the last 100 or so years must work really well, because I almost always choose coke, even through my taste buds prefer pepsi.

I'll always have a Pepsi if that's what they serve, it's not a big deal.  But it's weird that an inferior brand built their whole thing on being anti-establishment against "Big Soda" and yet they still exist.  It feels like a thing that should be "remember in the 80s when Pepsi was a thing for like 5 years?"

I remember it well. Was you around for "New Coke"?  

It was actually a boon for Coke, because they were losing market share and going down, and then after New Coke fizzled the demand for OG was back and then got higher.
