I understand that I'm not real bright. Can someone help me about cola taste, so I'll know when I get more of it. WTF is cola taste? Please, I'm on my knees here worrying about this. HELP ME

[Aliantha]

Buster, the cola flavor comes from the African Kola nut.
So when it tastes like African nuts, you know you've got it.

Well thanks.But that was not the question.
It's kinda like I asked at coffee shop, anyone want any cucumbers. Some some old, old man started on why he couldn't eat the sobs.
Damn me, I just if anyone wanted any. In that case a simple yes or no would have sufficed.
Thank, hell I can't spell the name at this moment. For the toon.

Whatever buster. I guess you've become the 'what aliantha can and can't say now' police.

I still don't drink the shit, and to answer your question, no I can't help you.

Doesn't look like anyone else can either. Sarcasm intended.

No Lady. That was just an aside from my old lame brain.

I saw a really interesting show awhile back, a one hour special on the Cola Wars. It covered the history of both Pepsico and Coca Cola as corporations, starting with the invention of the beverages themselves. The two companies have been in head to head single combat for something like 90+ years now, with no letup in sight.

I wish I could remember what it was called or what channel carried it. I think it was simply "Cola Wars", but it was excellent.

There is also a book called, "The Other Guy Blinked", by Pepsi CEO, Roger Enrico. The Cola Wars from Pepsi's point of view.

Say it, sure, not a waste of anyone's time, especially not yours... thanks for all the help. LOL!

I think it has more cola taste as well.

I find you get the best Cola taste from the Coca-cola. Cola meaning " I don't care for Pepsi as much."


"Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar"

Funny, my fiance just asked about that last night. The ad came on during House and he said "what's that supposed to mean? More cola taste? What's a cola taste?"

I guess it means that diet pepsi tastes more like regular (non-diet) cola than diet coke does... but it seems stupid to use a weird subjective term like that and then say that they did omg scientific! studies.

It's perfect, nobody can dispute it or prove them wrong.

Phosphoric acid, perhaps?

Here is an article from Pepsico.

It's a funny article, because of this quote:

"We're shining the light on this one basic, yet incredibly important fact in an ad campaign reminding people about the great taste of Diet Pepsi."

The article says the proof is that more consumers chose Diet Pepsi as having more cola taste.

Again, how are they defining more cola taste? Great subjectiveness, less scientific, to paraphrase another of the genre. To celebrate the success they handed "out more than three million samples of the newly designed cans in cities throughout the U.S. today."

It's a revisitation of the Pepsi Challenge, which meant nothing either.

Heres a little bit of trivia for you. At the time of the Pepsi challenge in the 80s, I was talking to the guy across the street who managed a grocery store. He told me that Coke was able to claim it's more popular, because its worldwide sales exceeded Pepsi's, but that it wasn't a fair comparison, because many of those sales were at restaurants and vending machines which do not offer a choice between the two. At the time, in stores that carried both products, Pepsi was the better seller of the two. So Pepsi wanted to be able to point out that more people choose Pepsi when they are given a choice, so Pepsi came up with the Pepsi challenge.

Then there was the whole New Coke debacle and the patriotic fervor that surrounded Classic Coke, and Coke actually experienced a huge bump in sales from that. I have no idea what is best selling now.

None of this matters when deciding what you want to drink. At least it doesn't matter unless you are a lemming.
