I was a die-hard Coke fan, then during the aforementioned New Coke fiasco, I decided if Coke had to end its Coke line and become more like Pepsi to compete against it, then Pepsi must be the superior product. Well, as we know, Coke went back to its original formula, but the damage was done. I have been the lone Pepsi drinker in my family every since then. My wife, kids, in-laws, extended family, etc. are all Coke fiends. This is really to my advantage since no one else will touch my soda, so IT’S ALL MINE! <Greedy laughter reverberates through the house>

Seriously, diet Pepsi has always tasted more like Pepsi than diet Coke ever did with respect to Coke. I also loved the wonderful Black Cherry & French Vanilla Pepsi Jazz, but alas, I can no longer get it in my area.
