I studied this a little.
Pepsi tastes better than Coke on a single sip because it's sweeter, but the preference among consumers gets murkier if you have to drink a whole can of the stuff. And even moreso if you want to have two cans.
Sweeter == better to have a taste. Not necessarily to have larger quantities though.
- schraeds 15y agoMore people drink Pepsi. The minority who drink Coke, drink enough of it to sell more syrup than Pepsi.
- barrkel 15y agoMore people drink Coke. http://www.nytimes.com/ref/business/20070527_COKE_GRAPHIC.html http://www.nytimes.com/ref/business/20070527_COKE_GRAPHIC.ht... I was, however, surprised at how difficult it was to find Coke in many restaurants in the US. That's not usually the case in the UK, for example.
- astine 15y agoThe Pepsi corporation ownes some fast food chains in the US, so you're not going to find Coca-Cola at a Taco Bell for example. Aside from that, I've never really had trouble finding Coca-Cola in any kind of restaurant. Then again, I don't usually look.
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoI think coke and pepsi try for exclusive arrangements at every dispensary. That means most restaurants prefer a discount from say pepsi for exclusivity, than to offer both with reduced profits.
- tptacek 15y agoPepsi doesn't own YUM! Brands anymore, but does have permanent contracts with all their restaurants.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoAvailability varies significantly by region. For whatever reason, some parts of the US are Coke-centric and others are Pepsi-centric.
