An easy stupid off topic question:
What do you prefer Coca~Cola or Pepsi?
I prefer: CC
kibkalo said on July 24, 2002 12:43:
Of course Coca-Cola!
And I even don’t take in count that it was a general sponsor of Rox concert in Johannesburg! It’s just better :)
coyote said on July 24, 2002 13:00:
of course Roxette
but I saw a ticket from the Join the Joyride tour and the main sponsor was the Pepsi in South America, wasn’t it?
Bye the way Coca is cool!
kibkalo said on July 24, 2002 14:24:
And cool Cola even better :)
As for main sponsor...
The only official live Roxette concert CD is Coca-Cola Live (Johannesburg 1995) - not identical to Crash! Boom! Live! bootleg which is just an LD copy as I guess.
japeke said on July 24, 2002 14:53:
Coca and Pepsi both sponsored roxette......
And both companies are very WRONG!!!
But if I have to choose: Coca Cola and Roxette...
pietROxette said on July 24, 2002 15:14:
Definitely Coca-Cola! Pepsi is FAKE!!!! If Coca-Cola is a Roxette album, then Pepsi can only be a Britney Spears bootleg :-)))))

Coke! No doubt about it! :) “You can’t beat the feeling!”
PerFanatic said on July 24, 2002 16:26:
Pepsi over Coke
Diet Coke over Diet Pepsi
Pepsi 1 over Diet Coke
Vanilla Coke is good
Both lemon Coke & lemon Pepsi suck!
Roxette over any band in the world but... ABBA are still great:)
irvye said on July 24, 2002 18:15:
Gotta go with Pepsi all the way. Although I have been drinking Coke most of the summer to collect the points under the labels.
xarrrr said on July 24, 2002 18:29:
hmm... i like cherry coke...yum yum
Coke is definately better, but i can handle Pepsi, it aint that bad! ;)
Fanta is also yummy! (ESPECIALLY south african Fanta Grape!)
wendy said on July 24, 2002 19:05:

Actually I have tasted several Cokes from all around the world - and they tasted completely different. The best ones are the Austrian and Hungarian Cokes, then the ones from Brazil, Italy and Spain. The worst one is definitely the British-made Coke, which is really horrible, lot worse than Pepsi!
pietROxette said on July 24, 2002 21:13:
Eddie (Emerson) once made his way to the post office and sent me a can of Fanta Grape from his home country, Brazil. Gee, I don’t know if they put something in it in the mail, but that tasted awful. Just like that white powder that was in the envelope everywhere.... ;-)))))
vaxjoe said on July 24, 2002 21:16:
coca cola forever!
pietro: i love greek coca cola and hate pepsi
when i tasted the american ones i loved pepsi (tastes like greek coke) and hated coke..weird
pietROxette said on July 24, 2002 21:30:
Yea, I remeber you once told me that. I’ve never tasted foreign Pepsi though...
Stormkeeper said on July 24, 2002 21:46:
both are very good.
I just don´t drink those light-versions.
ttmo said on July 24, 2002 21:56:
Pepsi in Europe is sweeter than in US.
I prefer Pepsi over Coke.
My favorite is Wild Cherry Pepsi. 8)
royalball said on July 25, 2002 03:39:
It’s interesing because whenever exchange students come to America they say that the Pepsi here is good, when they have been drinking CC in Europe. One girl told me she drank CC in Europe but when she got to America she could tell the difference more and preffered Pepsi. It’s weird most Americans like Pepsi better than Coke.
AntiMario said on July 25, 2002 04:55:
Only Coca!
The first bottle of special Silver Cola light I bought had Swiss Watch under the cork!
He-he.
LittleSpooky said on July 25, 2002 04:59:
Wild Cherry Pepsi, Mountain Dew Code Red, Coke, Dr. Pepper, orange / apple juice.
Both bands are good in their own rights.
Jud (moderator) said on July 25, 2002 07:03:
Coca cola..
@pietro: mm i have never realised any difference between countries, just when you go to a fast food, the coke is tasting more than water than anything else.. mm I live now in Austria but we buy the coke in Hungary (cheeeep)... :P cant tell if it tastes different from Spain!
tevensso (moderator) said on July 25, 2002 07:42:
@royalball. US Pepsi has a faint cinnamon flavor to it that ours (European) don’t, that could possibly be it?
pietROxette said on July 25, 2002 09:33:
@Judith: of course, if you buy coke at a fast food restaurant, it tastes awful cause they make it from a syrup (or how to say that). Also, the put a ton of ice in the cup, so it tastes like water... When I tasted Spanish coke, it tasted sweeter than the Hungarian one.
pietROxette said on July 25, 2002 09:36:
The Hungarian and the Austrian cokes are almost identical, maybe I liked the Austrian one more cause I was very thirsty when i bought that. I suggest you to buy a bottle of Hungarian coke, take it back to Spain with you, buy a coke there and spot the difference! You’ll be surprised how different it is.
Jud (moderator) said on July 25, 2002 10:37:
@pietro: it will take a bit to go back to Spain, I moved to Austria with my girlfriend.. where in Hungary do you live? is it close to the Austrian border? we might eventually go there for shopping one day..
pietROxette said on July 25, 2002 13:18:
Oh, I didn’t know you now live in Austria... Well, I live and work in Budapest on weekdays, go home to a town 80 km south of Budapest to my parents on weekends, but now I’m on the beach, at a lake (it’s not Balaton (Plattensee), a smaller one, halfway between Balaton and Budapest, it’s called Velencei-to).
pietROxette said on July 25, 2002 13:20:
And where do you live in Austria? And which town/city do you come for shopping?
AntiMario said on July 25, 2002 13:38:
I live near Coca-Cola plant in St-Petersburg Russia, they also supply McDonalds with powdered Coke that after solving tastes like a real shit... (blee)
martin_nl said on July 26, 2002 09:56:
I just prefer Fanta over any cola. One sip of coke or Pepsi makes you burp a second later, terrible!!
Nefatari said on July 26, 2002 10:40:
I don’t like the american coke, esp. that cherrycoke :|
In Austria I prefer dietpepsi!
But actually I’m drinking water most of the time.
And no question: Roxette, not ABBA!
@Judith
Hej, maybe we can meet someday, since you’re living in my hometown :)
Ferdan said on July 26, 2002 11:36:
Every drink in every country tastes diferently..... ’cos of the water used in the elaboration is also different
temps-daurats said on July 29, 2002 15:20:
I don’t think is just because of the water. Natural water from a spring doesn’t have (normally, if there is not a dead animal on the spring, of course, and as long as potable water is treated water this is not possible) any glucides in it. People here is saying they taste differently but in sweetness mainly. So, it depends on the amount of sacharosse, fructose or whatever the glucide they add to make it sweet.
Treated water (and bottle water) do have ions in it, but it’s mineral ions like calcium, sodium, potasium or anions like sulfates or carbonates. But they never have organic compounds, or at least not in a quantity enough to change the taste.
I really do think there is not a Coca Cola recipe... there are many, is not “universal”.
By the way, this chocolates called Kit-Kat are longer in Sweden than in Spain... I discovered when my mother sent to me one and I had just bought another at ICA... what a surprise, Swedes get 3 milimeters more :-P
Jud (moderator) said on July 29, 2002 15:30:
@TD: hihi about the Kit Kat! :P Well Swedish McDonalds hamburgers are also waaaaay better than the Spanish ones, at least I can eat one, which I can´t do with the Spanish!
Same as Pizza Hut...looks like Spaniards are eating any shit that comes across!!
Also Austrian Pizza Hut is better.. and they have Daim in supermarkets!!! :P
pietROxette said on July 30, 2002 06:56:
Pizza Hut sucks here! I really really really hate the shit they make there. It’s small, doesn’t taste too good, and has only a very little amount of stuff on it. Also, it’s damn expensive!
gyllene_tjej said on July 31, 2002 10:05:
still can’t get why so much fuss about it...
cola rules for bacardi rum, but on all other occassions it will always be Pepsi.
and yeah, i am one of those saying pizza hut sux too! except one time when they had this salad bar and you could get just as much as u wanted paying only once - surprisingly a decent price :)

Hellos , well none at all , you know why? coz they are very harmful for you.
Check this site
http://coolbluez.cjb.net
and when you go there , click health section and download ’the advantages of pepsi’ , it’s a power point slide show and after reading , you will also hate them.
well i like to have Sprite.
dan-rox said on August 7, 2002 08:43:
do you think when you drink a coke or a Pepsi sometimes it can’t be realy this, that will be a bit of coke or Pepsi with lot of water ... ?
Katuska said on July 24, 2002 12:26:
Coca-cola! Enjoy!
