Hey anyone know why caffeine is added to soda pop? This came up in another thread and I don't know the answer unless it is to get people hooked on the pop.

Pepsi is my vote. Coke is too fizzy and just doesn't taste as good.
 
Caffine is a stimulant, and an addictive stimulant at that. If you want people coming back for more, why wouldn't you add it if you were pepsi or coke?

How many people do you see buying decaff mountain dew/pepsi? not many at all.
 
Pepsi is obviously worse than pepsi because their add's always say how its better than coke whereas coke just as some dumb commercials.
 
vi_edit, hmmm, I have tried caffeine free Pepsi. It didn't taste any different. Why didn't I stick with buying it then? Well, it's harder to find at the grocer for one thing and I'm probably subconsciously hooked on caffeine. Damnit! 🙂
 
Coke and pepsi are equally good. I'm not saying they taste the same, but I'm saying they both kick ass. In 20oz or can sizes, coke is better, in 1 or 2 liter, pepsi is better. Don't ask why, but it's true.
 
Coke all the way for me. But, I will drink Pepsi if it's all that is available. I also am fond of Mountain Dew. It's my substitute for coffee.
 
I prefer Pepsi over coke but I prefer Jolt grape flavor and almost all the Stewart's over that.Jones soda is very good also.Especialy the blue bubblegum flavor.It is also the only soda company that sells Whoop Ass by the case.
 
I'm from Atlanta. One guess on what I like, and it doesn't begin with a 'p'. Coke all the way if I have a choice. But I like Pepsi too.

Actually, I usually drink Diet Coke or Pepsi One (whatever's on sale that particular week). The sugar in Coke/Pepsi keeps me awake when I try to sleep.
 
Milk, Raspberry Ice Tea, Strawberry Lemonade, Red Robin's "Strawberry Ecstasy", Water.

In that order. What can I say, carbonation sucks. So does soda.
 
I prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke, BUT Pepsi seems to dry my singing voice out too much and they changed the two-liter bottles a couple of years ago and the flange at the top is too narrow and dig into my index finger. So, I usually buy Coke in two-liters. Got that?
 
diet coke for me. im hooked on it, although for some reason i hate normal coke. i think dr. pepper is better than coke or pepsi.
 
DirkBelig, tell me you didn't decide to change product just because they changed that thing at the top of the bottle. 🙂
