Move along. 

I prefer Pepsi and it's not close.

I could not care less what others prefer.

You literally posted EVERYONE would order Coke over Pepsi.

Deal with it.

Move along.

I think this makes you an "old cuss."

Valuing your sample size of one over the 99%.  Cool.

And more buy Coke.  Coke is higher in sales than Pepsi.  This has been true for as long as any of us have been alive.

But, this has become a silly argument regardless.

Sure, but the hyperbole and absolutism merits being called out.

We know all of this.

But, if literally nobody buys Pepsi, they'd stop making it.

I refer you to Coke's shutdown of Tab, for example.

In Europe they don't have Diet Coke, they have Coca Cola Light.  And it's not the same thing, it actually has some sugar in it, just not as much.  It tastes better than the artificially sweetened diet drinks here in the USA.

Statistically, it's not hyperbolic at all.  But no one is interested in validity, it seems.

Coke is Alabama, Pepsi is Auburn.  It's the red-headed stepchild of soda and we all know it.  And the people in Buffalo NY probably only 'prefer' it because it has the Bills' colors.

Most cruise ships I've been on also have Coke Light. It does taste better, but not as good as Diet Pepsi.

Now you're just goading me, lol.  Diet Pepsi is swill.  Look at the sales.  Diet Coke makes as much money as regular Coke.  Pepsi is now way behind, even being surpassed by Dr Pepper.  Diet Pepsi isn't even on any breakdown list I can find.  It might as well be RC Cola, which I no doubt believe you find lovely.

Diet Pepsi has the same artificial sweetener gross aftertaste flavors as Diet Coke and all of the other zero cal/zero sugar diet drinks, so I can't agree with you there. 

Regardless, I rarely drink any of them anymore.  I reserve pretty much all of my sinful high calorie consumption for beer, wine, and various mixed drinks.

Hey now, full-sugar Royal Crown Cola is delicious.  You're from the South, sort of.  Haven't you ever heard of RC Cola and moonpies?

Does RC still exist? I don't think I've seen it on shelves here.

Yup it's still around, but understandably gets very little shelf space in stores.
