I hate to do this, but I can't help but mention it: Pepsi vs Coke. Two similar products, with very different ideas and branding. Pepsi, the new cola vs Coke, the old veteran cola. They are both sugar and fizz, and both come in a can, so why are they so different, and why, WHY do people prefer one more over the other?
They are the same thing!
Right? Well, with all that said, I have always been a Pepsi girl. My whole life I have always preferred Pepsi over Coke. If presented with the 2 beverages, I would always choose a Pepsi over a Coke. I find Coke sweeter than Pepsi, which, is probably a silly thing to think. However, thats just what I find.
My dad was also a Pepsi guy, and as the main purchuser in the family, it would always be Pepsi, and so I kind of grew up with a negative image of Coke. Now that I am the main purchuser, I had been choosing to not buy either and try (really hard) to be healthy.
However, since meeting my boyfriend, he has introduced me to Coke Zero, a diet Coke without the gross diet Coke taste. At first, I was not convinced. I don't like the aspartame taste that usually comes with diet/no calorie beverages and will therefore, choose the really bad for you, high calorie and sugar alternative instead.
Well, 7 months later of him drinking mostly only Coke Zero, I have now grown a taste for the drink. And now, I find myself choosing a Coke over a Pepsi, something that I have never done before. Why not drink diet Pepsi? Its gross. Simple as that.
I hate to say that I really like Coke Zero, but I do. And I hate to say that I'd choose it over Pepsi. Frankly, I hate to say that I drink that kind of stuff at all, but lets be honest, I do, though I try to choose a healthier alternative over the fizzy choice.
I'm sorry Pepsi that I have betrayed you. But Coke Zero tastes good and it doesn't have the high calories that you do. The day that you make a delicious low calorie beverage, I'll be right back. I promise.
