Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola

While some people claim that Pepsi tastes exactly the same as Coca-Cola, other people say they can tell a difference in the two soft drinks. Have you ever tried them one after another? I did, and this is what I found out.


What is obvious Coke is not as sweet as Pepsi. As I found in wikipedia it´s because Pepsi is believed to have more lemon oil and less orange oil. ( It´s strange right? Lemmon is much acid than orange, and that´s why Coke should be much sweeter.) Also Pepsi uses vanillin rather than vanilla which is used in Coke. ( I do not see difference between vanilla and vanillin which is the primary component of the extract of the vanilla bean :P OOPS!)
After drinking Pepsi I had bitterness in my mounth, which was much intense than after drinking Coke.

Well, these two were the only differences I manage to find. I like Coke much more, because it´s not that sweet and I think it´s more refreshing. But it´s only my personal choice. :) Maybe you like Pepsi more than Coke.
