If you really wanted a coca cola and the place you’re at only had pepsi are you ok substituting with that?

[Still-alive]

Lets say you really really wanted a coca cola (regular or diet) while out at some restaurant and they only sold pepsi there instead, would that suffice for you or no? Coca cola or no deal? Or vice versa, you really want a Pepsi but all they have is coca cola.

assume for this question they dont sell any other type of drinks here either.

No, coca cola only or no deal!

Its ok ill get a pepsi if they had no coca cola. Not a big deal

No pepsi only or no deal

I would be ok getting a coca cola if they didn't have pepsi. Not a big deal

I dont like soda and want to see results

This question is basically asking how loyal people are to a brand even when there's a viable alternative.

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

I don't drink soda anymore but I wasn't a fan of Coke. I preferred cherry Pepsi

[Still-alive]

So if they didn't have cherry pepsi but had cherry coke instead you would have passed?

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Yup.

[InferiorElegy]

I don't drink either but my favourite pops are the Crush brand pops so Grape, Orange, Cream Soda and Root beer and I believe Crush is under Pepsi but I don't care about brand names and I will have the equivalent of whichever pop I order. Besides restaurants don't normally carry the other pops other than Orange or Root beer and aside from Pepsi or Coke you don't order using brand names, people will look at you weird because it doesn't happen, at least where I'm from it doesn't.
Also Pepsi and Coke do not taste the same so when someone orders a certain one they are looking for that specific taste not the brand name.

[t-8900]

If regular then I want a coke, if diet I want a pepsi.

Its weird I Love the after taste of regular coke but diet coke... well it tastes like soap to me I don't know why. As for diet pepsi it highlights the cola flavor without a nasty after taste. They have the sweetner down right on that or something.

[Cherry234]

Either one is fine with me. Though I only drink soda occasionally. Too much sugar in it.

[Still-alive]

What about diet?

[Cherry234]

Actually no I wouldn't drink diet. I don't trust it.

[ChiTown33]

I quit drinking pop a month and a half ago. So I'd probably get water or milk. But when I did drink it. I drank bottles of Pepsi. But fountain drinks are another matter I don't taste a lot of difference between them so I'd probably take Pepsi unless my other only option was coke. I'd be fine with that. Unless of course they had cherry coke.

[dustybiker]

I’m actually allergic to pepsi, but not coke. The ingredients or something in the process is different. So no from me. ☠️

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If it’s at a restaurant that is absolutely fine & I love Pepsi but if you are at a bar they better have Coke because who the fuck orders a Rum & Pepsi.

[horatiohornblower]

The worst is when they announce that they only have Royal Crown.

Although I drink Coke Zero now. It's just annoying to have to settle for Diet Coke.

[menina]

I would be ok with a Pepsi. I'm used to not getting what I want. 😅

[Flower7]

Coke would be my first choice, but I’d be fine with getting a Pepsi instead.

[purplepoppy]

The difference is so small it's not worth worrying about

[CurlyGirl42]

Don't care if it's pepsi or coca cola.. I only drink coke with rum and never ask what type it is. Just want it with sugar :D

[douride2]

I don't drink either of those so it matters little which brand they serve. I would sooner have a tall glass of cold water.

[God_of_Thunder]

I'm the exact opposite, as I prefer Pepsi, but Coke is perfectly fine, too. No big deal, either way.

I voted D

[Minahh]

I only drink coke lol, I don't know other brands have a weird taste if you ask me.

[Still-alive]

So if they only had pepsi, no deal?

[beebella]

As long as it's not 7Up or Sprite, it's fine with me. 😂

[dustybiker]

The author of one of the book series I love made those a “reactive” drink in her God characters. Nothing else gets them drunk.

[MarkRet]

I prefer Diet Coke, but Diet Pepsi is alright with me.

[Oigit]

What if you only drink RC cola? I guess you would be screwed no matter where you go.

[MuddyMole]

I've never liked either. It's cream soda or irn bru for me.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah most can’t tell the difference and it’s often watered down or drowned in ice

[josephinelcajon]

I am a Diet Pepsi holic at home. I will drink BIB Diet Coke but dislike canned.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It's okay for me to drink Pepsi with my meal at any place

[Danisa]

They are hardly comparable.

Like asking if a baked potato is an "ok substitute" if there are no fries.

[Still-alive]

how are they not comparable? they are just soda with slightly different tastes. thats it

[Moose304]

I own Coke Stock! Please drink as much Coke as you can!

[Fireguy17]

no coke, I will have a glass of water. Pepsi is too sweet.

[TheLittleInnocent]

Pepsi tastes better in my opinion

[Still-alive]

But if they only had coca cola would you get that?

[TheLittleInnocent]

Nah coke is icky

[MrtoddsWildRide]

They both taste like malted battery acid, so no big deal.

[jamesgoldman]

I'll drink either given it's probably mixed with vodka, Disaronno or Southern Comfort

[Wiredone]

I would pass and get iced tea or water instead. I can't stand Pepsi

[dustybiker]

Agreed.

[thegyalwholifts]

I’m trying to not drink soda anymore but Pepsi and Coke taste the same 😂

[KellyKOO]

I don't like Pepsi so I would not buy one if the store was out of coke.

[Casey_Black]

If this is a real, troubling issue for you, please seek therapy.

[zagor]

I take Pepsi when available but Coke will do if not.

[lilyanony1]

I much prefer coca cola.

[Razp_Sorbet]

I like Pepsi so yeah that's fine

[lottiebannotie]

No it really annoys me when that happens

[Still-alive]

So coca cola or no deal?

[lottiebannotie]

I would begrudgingly take the pepsi but no tip lol

[Kaneki05]

Pop is pop so yeah. I would be good with it.

[Koneko911]

Nope. I want sprite lol

[JosyJosy]

I'm okay with it, I'd be sad though

[Aurora1010]

Yeah, it makes no difference for me.

[NathanDavis]

I would rather choke on my food

[Blackcupcake]

dramaqueen🤭

[NathanDavis]

@Blackcupcake lmfao... the very first thing they always do is to apologize repeatedly for just having Pepsi, even they know it's wrong...

[Blackcupcake]

yes cause they don’t want to get cussed out or lose customers, but on the inside, they’re judging how silly and dramatic you are and probably also doing a huuuge mental facepalm hahaha

[NathanDavis]

[DonkeyDan]

No diet coke no deal, no compromise!

[DonkeyDan]

Re update: its not brand loyalty for me, I just don't like the taste of diet Pepsi or Pepsi Max.

[Slartybartfast]

I just get water if all they have is Pepsi.

[MoJoYoYo]

They are both nasty, so I guess so! :)

[Sugar100]

I get disappointed but I get Pepsi still lol

[DaveToo]

Disappointment is part of life. Deal with it.

[Blackcupcake]

lmao... Pepsi is good tho!

[DaveToo]

@Blackcupcake Yup, I preferred it when I drank soda.

[Blackcupcake]

great!

[Msputiton]

Yeah, i prefer pepsi

[Still-alive]

So pepsi only or no deal?

[Msputiton]

Naw don't really matter.
Tbh rarely drink sodas anyway.

[MountAverage]

They taste pretty much the same to me.

[najekim]

No Coca-Cola? Unsweeten ice tea, please.

[Gwenhwyfar]

yes.

[emperor90]

Not really a big deal i am not fussed

[spartan55]

Sprite

[Still-alive]

No speite, pepsi only

[spartan55]

RC then

[Still-alive]

No RC, Pepsi only

[spartan55]

I'll leave, walk to the corner 7/11 and get an RC.

[moonpie89]

Yep np

[lpoots]
