Do People Prefer Coke or Pepsi?

By Lauren Brooks

Depending on who you ask, you may find someone who says that Coke is the best soda on the market, or you may find someone who swears by Pepsi. It all comes down to a matter of personal opinion, though the public is pretty divided about this issue.

Let's take a look at four of the more popular types of soda and see who wins the debate in the most recent of taste tests and surveys. Are your favorites their favorites too?

I should let you know that none of these findings can be considered official, as the sample sizes are really too small to come up with anything definitive. Regardless, let's see what people think..

Many felt that Pepsi was too sweet, while people were generally more neutral about Coke. However, the Pepsi lovers felt more strongly about the drink than Coke lovers did about theirs.

Let's take a look at the diet drinks now. Each bills itself as a healthy alternative to the original formula, free of calories and sugars. In the end, people believe that the taste of diet Pepsi resembles actual Pepsi more than diet Coke resembles actual Coke.

Sprite vs. Sierra Mist. There's 7up on Pepsi's end too, but it looks like Sierra Mist has been pushed harder in recent years. While Sprite enjoys higher sales (probably due to more recognition and a longer track record), people have preferred Sierra Mist in blind taste tests.

The last set of drinks will look at is the cherry colas. There's Pepsi's wild cherry, and Coca Cola's Cherry Coke. In the end, Wild Cherry Pepsi was preferred in taste tests, though people were more likely to buy Cherry Coke.

Clearly, public opinion remains split on this issue, as it's one that could really go either way. - 17269
