Ok dudes, you knew it was coming and here it is. The legendary; " What do you prefer: Coke or Pepsi" thread. Fire away dudes :mrgreen:
-
"They both taste like malted battery acid."
-
Coca Cola Classic solo! If you drink Pepsi you probably own one of these fake PCE Shuttle consoles! And screw you turbo D of course!
-
No comment.... wait, 'no comment' is a comment. Shit, now what do I do? I'm so confused and now I'm mad, so screw you, turbo D! You left my cola of choice, Crystal Pepsi, off the list, so I had to chose 'other cheapo cola', even though it's out of production and no longer cheap. Lucky for me, there's enough cases stockpiled in my basement to quench my thirst until it either goes back into production or armageddon, whichever comes first.
You've never seen a taste like this:

You mentioned Turbografx-16, but what about the Turbo Duo?

I want to amend my vote to include fried Coke (http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Quirks/2006/10/16/new_way_to_get_fat_in_texas_fried_coke/6248/). It sure sounds like a tasty, heart healthy snack to me, so even though I haven't tried it yet, I'm sure that I would prefer it to fried dung beetles. What will those crazy Texans think up next?
-
My votes explained:
other cheapo Cola - On the rare occasion that I buy a soda, I'm limited to the ones that are Kosher. The Safeway brand is Kosher, and that's about it.
I missed the skool bus - The one street linking my apartment building to civilization is closed today for resurfacing, so I couldn't go to school. I drive myself, and I don't actually ride a school bus, but I figured I had the right to make this vote.
this poll sux - This poll kinda sux because none of the brands listed are Kosher, as far as I know, but at least you gave us lots of leeway with our choices.
TurboGrafx-16 rules dude! - I enjoy TurboGrafx-16 much more than any Cola, so thanks for throwing in this choice!
-
Here's why I voted what I did:
Coca Cola Classic - I'm from America, so I HAVE TO LIKE IT! :P Seriously, there is no better movie theater drink than Coca Cola.
this poll sux - No Vault, no Mountain Dew, and worst of all NO DR. PEPPER! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIST DR. PEPPER, THE NECTAR OF THE GODS, AS A CHOICE? Just for that, I should have voted "Screw you Turbo D" but you're cool, so I'll let it slide this time.
-
I was hoping for FayGo!............
-
More options have been added to the poll by popular demand. Vote changes are allowed and you get a jack load of options. Now we'll see who is the real king of Cola 8)
-
Huh, how do I modify my vote? f*ck it! I'll just use my trusty Sharpie and scribble my choices on the screen.
-
I don't drink soda. I only drink beer! this poll sux. TurboGrafx-16 rules dude!
Moreover, I only drink coke made with cocaine.
All of the above statements are true.
-
Voted school bus

My dad's girlfriend is from Chicago, and she always uses the term "pop"
Personally I've always hated using a generic word and have always done my best to identify my beverage of choice by name.
-
Anyone who doesn't use the term "pop" is clearly inferior.
-
Pepsi, generally, since that's what Church's Chicken sells, and we eat there a whole lot. I'll drink either, really. But I'm originally from New England, and we call it "soda", though I've heard people refer to it as "soda pop" on occasion.
-
Pepsi man here still this poll is a bs lie :wink:
-
I voted:
Coca Cola Classic
Pepsi Cola
RC Cola
Screw you Turbo D
I missed the skool bus

I voted Coca-Cola Classic, I don't drink soda (it's POP damn it!), and TurboGrafx-16 rules dude!.
I prefer regular Coca-Cola over regular Pepsi, but I prefer Caffeine Free Pepsi over Caffeine Free (or probably even regular) Coke.
But as everyone knows around here, I prefer Super Chill over them all!

What about that Halo 3 Mountain Dew drink - forgot the name of it though...

I remember checking some box to allow vote changes when I originally made the thread, but it didn't seem to work. Keranu, I command you to use your amazing mod powers to fix this problem so dudes can change their vote. please :)

Fixed!
I didn't notice Dr. Pepper was on the list until I saw Black_Tiger's post! I'm voting for it!
-
Thankfully no one has voted for Jolt, because that headache-inducing shit tastes like Coke mixed with aspirin (a few of my friends actually thought there might have been real cocaine in it after they started getting hyper and had a bad headache the next day).
-
I chose Pepsi though i do prefer pepsi max, it is 'Pop' though.

It's nice to hear an Englishmen use the word pop! Is it the common word out there?

I prefer RC Cola over all. But between Coke & Pepsi I have to go with Coke.. it mixes and tastes in drinks.
I realized I missed Faygo.. meant to throw in a vote for them too. Faygo isn't the greatest, but I do enjoy
the looks that people give me when I walk around with one in my hand. 8)
-
Do you guys know Spezi? It's a mix between Coke and Fanta or something and was considered the uber soda when I was a kid. I haven't seen it around nowadays though.
-
Pepsi all the way. Even their side products like Dr. Pepper beat Coke.

Put down the hash pipe. Cadbury Schweppes is the parent company of Dr. Pepper, not Pepsi.

Coke > Everything else > pepsi
diet pepsi, in particular, tastes like toilet bowl cleaner smells.

"There goes one of those lunatic ICP fans with his Faygo soda, what do they call them again? Gigolos?"
"Juggalos man, Juggalos."
"What kind of stupid name is that!?"
"What kind of stupid FANBASE is that!?"
"Point well taken."

My vote recount explained:
I don't drink soda ~ Ok, I really try no avoid soda altogether. Every once in a while though, I'll have one.
TurboGrafx-16 rules dude! ~ :clap: I never had one as a kid!
kosher brands only dude ~ This is a must for me. While I try to stay away from soda generally, I will absolutely refuse to drink a non-kosher soda.
safeway ~ Safeway's cola is Kosher, so it makes the cut. Back around 8th and 9th grade I remember safeway cola and french bread being staples at a friends house, so there is some sentimental value as well.
-
How could you make cola unkosher? does regular cola contain pig bits or something? :shock:
-
Read your papers tomorrow to read about Kitsune's untimely demise at the hands of an ax-wielding, psychopathic, killer clown. ICP fans are rabid little bastards, ain't they? :lol:

Guyjin, I don't know the answer to your question, but I found some info about special Kosher for Passover Coca Cola here (http://www.nypost.com/seven/03192007/news/regionalnews/kosher__coke_a_big_hit_regionalnews_rita_delfiner.htm)
It's made with sugar instead of corn syrup, which may help with the passover aspect.
Pork products may be used somewhere in the refining process for regular coca cola... I really don't know. Unless there's some Kosher certification on it, I won't drink it.
-
Sams club has coke imported from mexico where it is made with sugar and bottled in glass bottles. I usually get those because I prefer the taste of real sugar over highfructose corn syrup. I don't mind high fructose corn syrup as much if its in a fountain drink though.
-
Diet sodas are a lot worse for you health-wise than regular soda. You shouldn't really drink either, but if you have to drink soda, drink regular soda. The artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas are very VERY bad for you and, especially if you're a diabetic, do far more harm than good. Unless that diet soda is sweetened with stevia (you'll never find this normally in the USA but I hear it's pretty common in Japan), drop it and run away from it.

Agreed. And it looks like Nod beat me to the post about how diet products are bad for you. Diet pops give me a headache.

Well like america its regional, i live in the north and my southern friends are perplexed that i call it pop, they think it sounds all 80's, but all my most closest friends and family call it pop

Even more interesting! I love how your friends described pop as sounding 80's; this just gives me a new reason to prefer pop over soda!

Not to mention it makes a pop sound when you open a can.

I am liking this trend towards recursion :-"
Almost as much as I like Caffeine-Free Sugarcane Dr. Pepper

Though i have to say the only ever american tv show i've watched that used pop was That 70s show.

Which shows that the people who wrote that show weren't from Wisconsin, the cheeseheads along the lake use the word soda for some odd reason.

aw man, they're just playing cards? I wanted to finally drink some slurm :x

There's no finer meal than a heaping bowl of Bachelor Chow washed down with a cool can of Slurm. Wait... wasn't Slurm made from worm poop?

Family Guy pisses me off. Except that guy who looks like Patrick Stewart. I can't tell if it's an impersonator or if it's actually Stewart doing the voice. I don't watch the show or care enough to stick around for the credits, though.

Haha. Why does it "piss you off"? As for the Patrick Stewart character I think it really is him. He's done several voices on that show. :)
-
Which Family Guy character looks like Patrick Stewart? I don't recall Stewart's voice in any episodes, other than the episode where they show part of a fake Star Trek episode and Picard mocks Worf by saying that his forehead looks like a fanny. :lol:
Are you guys talking about American Dad, by chance? Stan's boss, Avery, looks like and is voiced by Stewart. Incidentally, MacFarlane is supposedly a big fan of Star Trek and even guest starred in one of the Enterprise episodes.

Maybe it's a American Dad then. Both those shows look and sound exactly the same to me. There is no discernable difference between them except American Dad has an alien in it.
Haha. Why does it "piss you off"?
Because everybody and their genital warts thinks the show is just sooooo f*cking funny.
And it's not.
-

HAHAHA!! Far be it for me to speak for my genital warts, but they really have no sense of humour anyway. :P
Fair enough though. I feel the same way about the Simpsons. It actually drives me crazy to hear people talk about how funny "the new episode was". There's absolutely NOTHING new about it. That show ceased to be funny in '93. ](*,) The movie was OK (far from great), but that's only because I haven't watched the Simpsons in such a long time.
I find the Family Guy funny. Yes it's just a bunch of cut scenes with a story thrown in, but it's still funny. Sometimes it misses, or they take a joke too far, but that's half the fun of watching it. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea that's for sure.
Anyway, Futurama was, is and always will be superior to both The Simpsons and the Family Guy. :P
-

Maybe I ought to give Futurama a try. I've never watched a full episode. A friend of mine tried to get me to start watching it back in like 2001 or something.
I agree to some extent about the Simpsons. The quality of the episodes has definitely declined over the past few years. I enjoy the old classics a lot more than many of the new ones. But they still pop out a nugget every now and then, even today. I did enjoy the movie, however. It wasn't a grand slam, but I thought it was at least home run material.
