Really? I think Pepsi is sweeter. Coke is more acidic. Coke all the way.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Diet: Pepsi, though Coke Zero isn't bad.
Regular: I'm with P-C.

I'm actually cool with Coke Zero, too. I can't do Diet Coke, but Coke Zero is perfectly drinkable and makes me feel like I am doing less damage to my body.

coke helps clean corroded car battery contacts. anything that caustic is something I need to consume on a regular basis!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No diet drinks because no artificial sweeteners. Good god, those are nasty. And I'm sure I'd think that even if they didn't give me headaches.
Coke all the way, and it's for when I feel my throat needs a good scouring. Nothing better.

Diet Dr. Pepper actually tastes better to me than the regular kind at this point. I'll drink Diet Coke in a restaurant, but not buy it at the store. And Pepsi is off limits across the board - all of it tastes like ass to me except Mountain Dew, and that gives me heartburn.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I prefer sweeter, which means I prefer Pepsi.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Punctuated equilibrium, I presume.
Actually, no. (Punctuated equilibrium is Stephen Jay Gould's thing. I think both Dawkins and Mayr are in broad agreement about the issue.) No, the disagreement I'm thinking of is more the conceptual one of whether natural selection may best be understood as working on genes or individuals.
I pretty much live on Coke Zero these days. It actually took me a month's concerted effort to get used to the taste of artificial sweetener. Now, I find regular Coke to be too sweet.

Because books.
It's been years since I drank regular Coke or Pepsi, but Pepsi always tasted crisper and lighter to me. And I've been used to artificial sweetener for so long that anything not diet tastes like the old Coke syrup you used to get at the drugstore.
