If it's coming from a bottle or can, I prefer Pepsi over Coke. If it's from a fountain, I don't notice the difference as much. And when it's in the form of a Slurpee, I prefer Coke, because they don't seem as sweet.

No preference on Coke/Pepsi but I'll take a Cherry Coke over both any day. I'm upset that they I can't seem to find it on sale anywhere in town any more.

Now, can/bottle, there's an obvious choice; the can is by far superior in nearly every way,

I really don't have a large preference Pepsi/Coke. I'll buy whatever I feel like that day. As for Diet, I actually like Diet Coke. The thing is...if you don't think of it as Coke, but a completely seperate drink called Diet Coke, you can enjoy it.

BUT, the BEST Cola I've ever had? On PEI, or at least when I was there last, they didn't have plastic bottles or aluminum cans (or that many). Glass bottles that get reused, instead of recycled. Best Pepsi I've ever had. They are small bottles, 300 mL, but DayUM they go down smooth.

I'm sure I saw Cherry Coke the other day; possibly in the cooler of the SAIT store in the lobby of the Senator Burns building? (Don't quote me) I can double check Tuesday for you.

As for cans vs. bottles; nothing is better than a Coke from a glass bottle. That's something I would drive across the city to get!

Mmm ... and my Mom works at SAIT, too. Eggsellent.

Of course Coke from a glass bottle is preferable, though I haven't seen this in years either ...

Coke's the original, isn't that end of story? I mean isn't the other literally a poor man's Coke. 'Sides, isn't it cooler drinking something that's roots had cocaine used to make it and got its very name from?

Honestly doesn't matter to me, though in most cases, I prefer cokes, what I believe, slightly stronger taste.

Pepsi if I want a cola drink by itself, otherwise it's Coke if mixing with anything.

never tried Cott ginger ale, but Sussex Golden gingerale is the best I have ever had.

Actually, you know what's good? Crown Royal, water and a squeeze of lime.
3 ice cubes in a mason jar and 50/50 each of Gibson's gold and gingerale.

YUMMY

I'm find pepsi goes down the smoothest.

Barqs owns both though.

Also, if you really want to get hammered try white rum and any kind of tropicana juice. It just tastes like juice and before you know it you've just drank a 2-6.

I think what sets Coke apart is the stronger carbonation, which in the end makes it seem a little less syrupy.

True, Coke has a kick to it, and Pepsi is softer and more sweet, I don't get all the different versions of Coke though, Coke rep told me that they make these to go after the Pepsi drinkers, so someone who drinks Coke would not start drinking C2 or whatever.
