Reading through this article it was easy to see that this was all bunk. There's no way you can tell me that Pepsi and Coca-Cola pretty much taste the same. The difference between the two is immense. I suspect that this person didn't obtain a sample of properly bottled Coca-Cola from Atlanta GA. Don't go for that canned stuff in cheap aluminum, if it's not in a glass bottle then you lose the subtle flavors of the syrup, as the metal changes it over time. Don't fall for that notion that other bottling plants produce a superior product because of the differences in local water. Every drinker that enjoys a good soda knows that the best location of water for Coca-Cola is where it was created. Although, New Coke did indeed taste much the same as Pepsi, but that was a misguided attempt to market to a group of people that don't appreciate a fine soda. This was quickly stopped and shouldn't be mentioned again. In fact, the only location that competes are those fine people south of the border who still insist on using sugar as opposed to corn syrup. I too enjoy a sugar Coke from time-to-time but nothing beats a bottle from the home plant. I took the Pepsi Challenge back when it was offered and I don't recall seeing this M and Q business. The sodas were offered to me in plain, white cups. That day, I purposely chose Pepsi so that the young person behind the counter would feel good about their work, since they were employed by Pepsi.
