Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper?
The transition of Americans from citizens to consumers is striking.

Me? I'm voting for the un-cola.

1. Definitely Dr. Pepper, but the commercial media won't give him any airtime.

3. I thought Coke Classic was very good
and am supporting Coke.

I think Pepsi is insubstantial and too sweet, and Dr. Pepper is running on Mr. Pibb's platform.

4. Dr. Pepper is possibly the worst-tasting soda ever created
it's like they stuff an old tennis shoe into every can.

11. I hate, HATE, Dr. Pepper. It tastes like cough syrup IMO!!!!
I do love Diet Coke and think it's the best thing ever to come out of that company.

12. Just don't try the diet version!


The regular version is only moderately evil.

14. Do you drink the original stevia sweetened version
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 12:02 PM by MikeDuffy
from hoarded stock, or the current high fructose corn syrup version that I gather replaced it in 1991-2?

15. Dr. Pepper, but the media won't cover it. They're scared of it.
