Coke vs Pepsi vs RC Cola
I actually like RC when it is fresh but since they do not have a diet version, I don't drink it.

Between Coke and Pepsi, either is fine in the regular version. Diet Pepsi sucks less than Diet Coke.

Being a diabetic, real coke is not good for me, and I'd rather drink water than any Pepsi product (and I really, really hate water).

Had an RC a couple years ago (I think someone here was talking about them) and it was barely okay, and there's still that sugar thing.

I don't like diet coke, but do like Coke Zero, so, if I gotta have a soda-that's it.

Is Mexican coke better than Columbian coke?

Given the choice I'll always take the Mexican kind, but the Columbian sure does smell good.

I had never heard of Mexican Coke. I called our local Costco and talked to someone named Miguel. He said they only sell it by the gram. Sure sounds expensive for a soft drink.

RC when I can get it.

I found out by leaving a can of Coke in my car - in Florida - that Coke is pretty good when it's hot as McDonald's coffee. Smile

After Cokes over the top WOKE statements and actions, and there dislike for "white people" I will NEVER drink a Coke product.
Way too many other choices, and not that much difference in taste.

It's not my first choice (increasingly I grab Dr. Pepper or 7-Up), but of those three: RC Cola, then Coke, then Pepsi. Fifty years ago; Pepsi first. And I too remember Red Rock Ginger Ales.

Had to cut down on them; and only RC doesn't can them in the small 7.5 or so ounce cans.

I rould rank them Coke, RC, and Pepsi last. Pepsi is too sweet for my taste. Haven't had RC in years, but always liked it. I do sugar-free colas now and actually prefer Diet Coke to the regular Coke. I used to like Diet Rite, but have not seen it in years. I drank Tab when it was the only diet cola available (my sister's favoirte), but when others came on line I dropped it.

Mexican Coke in glass bottles is available in my local Stop'n'Rob, but I've not tried it. Can't have the sugar.

Having grown up in Detroit, Michigan, I am also very fond of Vernors Ginger Ale. It used to only be available in Michigan but now is nationwide. The diet version isn't quite as good, but OK. (Drinking it warm is good to quell a stomach ache.)

I am a true Pepsi fan....regular and diet. I started out with Coke as a favorite, back when Coke did really taste good, but many, many years ago I switched to Pepsi. The taste of Coke gags me these days.

In order, Mexican coke, RC, Coke, and that other stuff, if I'm in desperate need of a cola....I dislike Pepsi.

So, most of the time, I have RC on hand. Mexican Coke is available, but it's usually more expensive.

I don't like Pepsi, too sweet and sticky. Coke is OK, but my real favorite is RC. It doesn't hurt that I get my RC in 2-liter bottles for 93 cents.

Nowadays I pick Diet Pepsi. Only because regular Pepsi was making me fat. Since switching I've lost 65 lbs. and kept it off for almost 5 years. Grew up in a Pepsi family, but can drink just about anything in a pinch.

Never had much exposure to RC Cola growing up in SoDak and not much even in my adult life, so it's between Coke and Pepsi. To be honest, I really can't tell much difference, but Pepsi is what I generally drink.

I’m still a fan of Moon Pies…especially the vanilla ones with coffee to start the day right Cool


Local Cafe favorite dessert:
Moon pie, flavor of choice (strawberry, banana, vanilla, chocolate)
Warmed in microwave just short of melting the filling then topped with ice cream. Finally it is drizzled with the sirup of your choice, caramel or chocolate . (pro tip... if you ask your waitress nicely she will put on both caramel or chocolate sirup)

As for Coke Pepsi RC? Yea they are gateway drinks and I graduated to the hard stuff... Dr. Pepper < Mountain Dew + Energy drinks Big Grin

But since retiring I mostly stick to Green Ice Tea... SWEET tea.



Endeavor to persevere.
