Coke beats Pepsi hands down. Dr Pepper is fantastic, and I'll enjoy root beer form Barq's or A&W. Ginger Ale is delicious, and a Sprite when it's hotter than Hades is also great.
What I cannot abide is any soda with artificial sweeteners. They are all awful. Now, if you need a sweet drink every day, I get it. Can't be taking in all that sugar. But I have a pop a couple times a month, and I want real sweeteners. Basic sugar being the best, of course.
I've seen a friend go through an aspartame addiction, and it was amazing how much trouble he had quitting that stuff, after insisting it was not addictive. It was kinda eye opening. Won $100 on that bet, too. He thought after a month he'd be "clean" of diet coke, and he just couldn't. He finally broke the habit after 3 months and swore never to go back.
