Its the real thing

After recently reading a friends blog and then having a conversation with my best friend about a similar topic this whole battle between coke and pepsi has been an extreamly trivial thought on my mind.. i remember being a kid when the whole thing started for me.. you could go to the supermarket... or was it the mall?.. anyway you could go to one of those places and take "the test"... but only if you were brave enough to admit defeat if you were dupet into thinking one was the other... i remember my friends being hell bent on getting it right the first time spending hours drinking coke then pepsi.. and again coke then pepsi... we would go into the store confidant that we knew which cola was which.... and would be shocked at how obvious it was to tell the difference... ever since then there has been a split in socioty between the coke lovers and the pepsi lovers... i myself am an avid diet coke drinker i just enjoy the fresh crisp taste and although diet pepsi has a similar crisp taste there is just a whole lot missing... in my personal opinion ofcourse.. therefor there are very few times when i stray from my product loyality... but it happens at weak moments when diet pepsi is the only diet cola avaiable and i forget how strongly i dislike it.. i put my dollar fifty into the machine and go for mine... and why not? diet coke is delicious therefor this other diet cola must be delicious.. because really how different can two colas be... it is there with in the first sip that i get snapped back into reality and realize the mistake i made... and in my upset drink through the rest of the bottle endlessly pondering how it could be that two colas so similar in look can be so different in taste.
