Hint: Difference between Coca Cola and Pepsi is not cocaine.
Demystifying a classic bubbly myth: studies show that many people think Pepsi and Coca-Cola taste the same. While burgers and hot-dogs are identical because they both have a meat in between or even because they're both classified as fast food
Here's why that's pure bullshit.
Time to debunk the great cola conspiracy: do Pepsi and Coca-Cola really taste the same? Spoiler alert: they don’t, and here’s why.
Conflict: Pepsi and Coca-Cola might look like twins separated at birth, but their flavors tell are quite the contrary. Pepsi boasts a bold, sweet, citrus punch, while Coca-Cola seduces your palate with a smooth, balanced vanilla-caramel charm. It’s like comparing having sex with two different people, —both get you aroused, but there's always a bias for the one that hits the spot just right and ticks you where you need to be ticked.
