It would be interesting to give people who make claims like that a taste test. We sometimes see odd results from professional testers in blind tests: You know, Two-buck chuck and MCD's premium coffee winning huge competitions. Put some boone's farm in a decanter, and I'll bet your snootiest guest will like it, even if its "a little sweet".
I think I can tell the difference between caffeine and non-caffeine coke, but it might just be the label. Maybe I'll test myself sometime...
- ralph 19y agoOz Clarke, wine expert, was put to the test by Top Gear presenter James May, and did appalingly on their recent French trip IIRC. I moved to caffeine-free Diet Coke when it was launched here from Diet Coke. I was happy to put up with the taste difference thinking I'd get used to it. However, by the end of the week I realised my consumption had more than doubled and concluded it was because I was in search of the caffeine so reverted. (I do tend to open a can and sip it over a couple of hours normally.)
- staunch 19y agoYou're mixing identifying which you like better with being able to differentiate. PG used a bad example, but I think it'd be hard to argue that it's not true in general. Bottled water might be a better example. BTW, I can quite easily tell the difference between non-caffeinated diet coke and regular diet coke. There's an unmistakable difference in smell with the non-caffeinated one. I don't even have to taste it. It gets way trickier telling the difference between the various "diet" cokes in the US, Europe, and Asia.
