The amount of sugar found in regular Coke or Pepsi is obscene. I prefer caffeinated diet cola with lime or lemon and a little agave nectar or simple syrup to eliminate the disagreeable "diet" taste.
Those who can't tell the difference must have a deep down sub conscious reason for their preference, you know like an ad or possibly supply and demand.
They also may not have been able to say which is which but anyone with taste buds can tell it's two different tastes.
I can tell the difference between the two.If I drink more than two glasses of Coke, I feel like I drank a bag of rocks in about an hour. If I'm out and about and need a "fix", I will only stop at a few places to pick one up. Some stores have "better" fountain Pepsi than others.
I even told a waitress how to tell regular and diet soda. When you pour a diet soda, the foam will be a darker color than it's regular counterpart. If you forget which is which, you can take a straw and stir it up. The diet will not foam back up, the regular will.
