Everyone and their mother has an opinion on whether Pepsi or Coke is the better soda pop. There are some definite differences to help you in a taste test. They both have almost the same chemical composition, but each has a distinct flavor pop. Pepsi is actually much sweeter than Coke. Pepsi also has a citrus burst of flavor which is very different than the “vanilla raisin” flavor of Coke.

Pepsi also has a higher content of sugar, calories, and caffeine which means overall, Pepsi is sweeter and worse for you. Even though these differences exist, most people choose the wrong one in a taste test.
