Maybe it's different up in Canadia, but here in the U.S. Pepsi tastes like syrup and Coke is so carbonated it burns.



Did you test blind?

I have had my mom pour me a glass of mystery pop back when we stocked both brands. I corrected determined it was Pepsi. The companies themselves have run blind tests as well in an effort to convince consumers that theirs tastes better, but those are clearly not to be trusted because the experimenter is obviously biased. If we ever have both stocked at the same time (we rarely have any now, if anything only Coke) then I'd be happy to conduct a 10 trial blind test for you

Even other similar products from the respective companies seem to follow the same pattern. Mountain Dew is extra sweet, Sprite is extra fizzy, etc.

I thought you told me I had to do 20 blind tests in that upsampling thing.

By the way I'm leaning towards it reduces the oversampling ratio in the DAC or something, i.e. the sound becomes less OS and more NOS.

Normally I say at least 10 trials, preferably 20, but that'd be way too much sugar.
 
Interesting hypothesis, now you have to test it.

Blind testing coke is boring, blind testing whisky is much better

My cellphone is running on ten years now. I still manage to get about 3 days on a battery charge.
