For decades the “cola wars” have been waged. There are Coke people, there are Pepsi people. There are even fans of both (Someone explain that one to me!). Here now is the Tale of the Tape: Coke Vs. Pepsi…
Company Look
Coke: Same Coca-Cola in cursive on a red background that’s been there forever.
Pepsi: Like Madonna, its look has been reinvented time and time again,sometimes to something not all of us like, but still in blue and red!
Advantage-Coke
The Cherry
Coke: Cherry Coke, a substance that has churned my stomach a time or two since the early 2000s
Pepsi: WILD Cherry Pepsi. A yummy substance that makes my stomach happy so long as I haven’t had a big meal with it, otherwise here comes the heartburn…
Advantage-Pepsi

Coke-McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Carl’s Jr.,Del Taco, Jack in the Box

Use of Santa Claus

The One You Can Expect to See with the Sports Geek himself

So the choice of a new generation and newer generations, Pepsi, edges Coke just barely. Cheer up, Coke fans, Santa Claus is coming in just 10 short months. That does it for another edition of Tale of the Tape, we’ll see you next time!

I am actually one of those fans of both Coke and Pepsi. My fridge is stoked with both. I grew up on Coke, but Pepsi has served equally well for me. I do drink Pepsi a bit more than Coke, however. Thus I give the edge to Pepsi too. However, Coca Cola has the Coca Cola Store which is awesome. I’m sure Pepsi may have something kind similar, but Coke is way more branded and that is awesome. I was stoked in the Coca Cola store in Vegas, no lie. And that in itself is classy too.
I can drink Coke to an extent. I will have it if I’m at say Denny’s or any sit down place that serves it, or if it comes out of a fountain. Rarely will you see me with a bottle of Coke. I just grew up around Pepsi, my dad always bought it, we always drank it. I just love the stuff even though it’s probably done more harm than good to my teeth. Just like when I was smoking, I gotta brush after every one now,it’s crazy!
