Coke tastes like battery acid. I also have this weird problem with canned Coke where sometimes I can't quite seem to swallow it and I choke on it. Very strange.
I very rarely drink either product though. I usually drink Mountain Dew (regular or Code Red). Sometimes Cherry Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, or Wild Cherry Pepsi as well. Mello Yello or Vault are also fine.
Know what's actually pretty good? That red cranberry Sierra Mist. I was pleasantly surprised... i thought it was going to suck horribly. :3
