Who else misses when Cal used to serve Coca-Cola products instead of Pepsi-Cola products? Coke is way better than Pepsi

I no longer drink soda, so the question is moot.

But when I did, RC was better...

+1 Totally agree and by coincidence went to my local Habit Burger today only to discover they have switched from Coke to Pepsi. Will not go there as much as in the past.....

Yeah, she was concentrating on our revenue sports' BIG picture.

Always a subjective thing as I prefer Pepsi over Coke but will drink Coke if that's the only thing available, but what's really disturbing is that Dr. Pepper has apparently just overtaken Pepsi as the second favorite soft drink. Dr. Pepper! Come on. It represents the worst of Texas, and that's saying a lot. There's no accounting for taste.

I'm a Pepsi, then Dr. pepper, then coke

But I have switched to zero sugar drinks mostly. Coke zero actually tastes pretty similar to Coke

One day I will fully stick to water

I always figured SMU would have the biggest affiliation with Coke in the conference.

I'll only drink Pepsi if I have to, but I do prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke. But otherwise I prefer Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola accessories (such as Sprite, Fanta, and Fresca)

Coke? Way too 80's. Mushrooms are the thing.

That explains why Pepsi tastes better. Now, wherever Pepsi is served, I have them give me half diet and half regular in the glass or cup. Or, I do it myself at the self-serve machines.
The regular gives it a better taste and the calories are more than diet but less than regular. I do this with Coke too at the heathen establishments that only have Coke. As for Cal fans, Coke is red and Pepsi is blue - should there be any question here?

The only thing is that Cal has always served Coke, we didn't switch to Pepsi until 2011 or 2012 (I know they served Coke at football in 2011, but that was because they were at AT&T Park, they could have had Pepsi on campus).

Don't ingest sugar, especially drinking it.

IMO, it's about portion control. The "regular" at a fast food place is oversized. Anything bigger than that is insane.

Hey, could we get to the truth on this Coke/Pepsi thing? If you're drinking it out of the can, it's Pepsi (and it had better be cold). Coke isn't good out of the can. A deli sandwich and an ice cold Pepsi in a 12 oz can is great. However, if you're drinking it from a glass, with ice -- and that's the best way to do it -- it's Coke all the way (best with burger and fries).

I thought everybody knew this.

For perspective, every ounce of regular cola contains the equivalent of 1 cube of sugar...

I would like to have a cola soda product with roughly half the sugar, or just a bit more, and with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Mexican Coca Cola still uses cane sugar.

As do all other soda brands. Whatever preference north of the border, the Mexican bottled versions are better. Coke is the most readily available, and I've found taquerias that offer the half liter glass bottle of Mexican coke.

Pepsi gives Cal a better deal. Coke doesn't seem to negotiate or maintain their machines.

Agree. I hated carrying the big red and white Coke cups back to my seats. Then after a game (especially a loss) I could not bear seeing red and white littering the stadium.

I'm a strictly diet soda drinker. Oddly, I prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke but I prefer Coke Zero to Pepsi Zero. Coke Zero is my go to canned drink.

As for ice in your drink, I'm in the completely opposite camp. I ask for no ice whenever possible. Why? Because it is already cold coming out of the machine (at least around here). The melting ice just dilutes it and when you're done, there's usually about 25% of the cup still filled with ice. That means you're not getting as much to drink. Anyway, that's my take on the subject.

I totally get the "way too much ice" problem, but I still maintain that a Coke, in a glass, with just the right amount of ice, is the best. And Anarchistear appreciates the way I endeavor to solve the world's most important challenges!
