Why does all generic cola taste like RC instead of Coke or Pepsi

[deftron]

All those "store brand" colas ...

If you're gonna rip something off .. shouldn't you copy the most popular or expensive
brands ?



Thats like the fake Rolex maker trying to make fake Happy Meal
Spongebob Squarepants watches or something

Hey, some of us like RC you know! :beer:

 

[Ronstang]

Becaue it IS RC.

 

[tweakmm]

It's probably like most generics, the exact same thing as the brand but with a different label.

 

[OSX]

I thought RC was for dogs.

 

[KillerCharlie]

I've heard that in true blind taste tests, RC beats coke and pepsi every time.

and if they had the 'secret' recipe and it tasted exactly like coke...why would anyone pay more for the real thing?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the millions spent on advertising.

I wish that Sam's Choice Cola tasted like RC. It tastes like $%@@*&%$@#* but I stll buy it. 58 cents ain't bad.

This is a thread about RC and generics. I'm sure Coke keeps their coke to themselves.

I thought you were saying that RC had Coke's recepie and were wondering why people didn't just buy the generic.

The secret formula. Generic brand = RC.

Generics usually just get their Syrup from the same manufacturer. Nesbitt(IIRC) was one very big one couple decades back.

That's right about where sweet tea sits on the beverage scale.

That's a pretty good list, now just break the Good beer section into a sub category
