Isn't that sugar free ?

Ugh, diet coke makes me feel sick, it tastes like nothing. Can't see how people can drink that crap every day, or even not taste the difference between diet and normal Cola...

Yes sugar free, I think there is extra caffeine as well, it tastes amazing, so sweet and syrupy.

I hated diet coke the first few weeks of drinking it. It doesn't take long to aclimatise to it and then you can never go back.

The only thing I use full fat coke for now is too remove oil stains from my block paving if I get a leak/spill. Nothing removes it like coke will, not even the cleaners designed to remove oil stains :D
 
For me, it entirely depends on my mood. I think I prefer the taste of Pepsi on the whole, but it's really close.

I don't drink either at home mind, I seem to have developed a liking for Drench instead (I know, I know, sugar galore etc).

Actually you are completely wrong. There was a program on BBC last week about the very subject.

The pepsi challenge was slaughtering coke in blind taste tests, cokes own tests proved dispite being the market leader people preferred the taste of pepsi. So they assumed they had a problem they altered the taste of coke to a flavour people preferred.

I saw the same program and I think you're making conclusions that the programme didn't make. The Pepsi challenge was not empirical proof that people preferred Pepsi. It was a taste taste performed by Pepsi and so is hugely biased. It did, however, put massive marketing pressure on Coca Cola.

Secondly, the programme only proved that the brand of coke is hugely important, not that people don't prefer the taste.

I'd disagree with you there Gilly, the brand image is hugely important to the success of coke. Some people may prefer the taste, but don't disregard that many, many people buy the stuff primarily due to advertising and the brand culture.

I'm not denying that it has an impact, but when someone makes a blank statement they believe to be fact when there is a very discernible difference between two products, I call it rubbish :)

Which is a fair point. I can taste the difference although I don't have a preference. I was just questioning your equally blank statement ;) As normal the truth lies somewhere in between.
