MacDailyNews gets email and many recent emails are from Coke drinkers going through withdrawl as they switch to Pepsi in quest of free iTunes songs. Our own SteveJack is one such person.
“I am a Coke drinker; Diet Coke, to be precise. My mornings have been upended this week. The morning ritual of a McDonald’s Supersize Diet Coke (I prefer Mickey D’s unique watered down version of Diet Coke before noon) at the drivethru has ceased. It has been replaced with a stop at the Hess Mart for two bottles of Diet Pepsi with potential iTunes winning caps,” SteveJack writes over in the MacDailyNews Opinion section.

As a lifelong Pepsi drinker, the main observation I’ve made by switching from cans to bottles is… all Pepsi tastes better in the bottles. We switched to cans when returnable glass went away, and it never seemed as good. The plastic bottles come closer though. Maybe the plastic leaks gas, so they give it an extra shot of carbonation.
On the corn syrup issue… Some Pepsi plants use corn syrup, some sugar, some mix. I�ve had Pepsi in some parts of the country that tastes better than what they make here in Cincinnati. Some other places don�t do as well. I�m sure it�s the same with Coke and other national brands.
“MacDailyNews gets email […]”, hehe, thank god, I was starting to worry you were getting lonely! 😀
I don’t usually drink soda at all, but with this promotion, I’m thinking about buying some pepsi, just so I can win something. Kind of like paying $ to throw rings and try to win some stupid worthless prize at a carnival, but at least there’s a fairly good chance of winning. By the way, I always thought that cans taste better than plastic bottles.
cans taste better than bottles? it’s all pepsi. unless u like licking the container, its what comes out that counts.
i like cans because i can finish one tho.
What going on with the North East?
No Pepsi so far as made it to the stores.
