To begin with, many people don’t even know that there is any difference between the two drinks. But, it certainly is, because two different companies produce Pepsi and Cola.
What came before?
The first of these two drinks was Coca-cola, back in 1886. But the trademark was registered in 1893.
Pepsi appeared in 1898.
Both drinks were created as an invigorating, energizing and uplifting drink.
Is there a difference in taste?
This is actually a very controversial issue. Firstly, we are talking about two different companies, and of course the recipe for making a drink is different.
There have been many studies where ordinary people, lovers of these sweet drinks, participated.
So, it was noted that Pepsi is softer in taste and has more sugar, and Cola has a richer and more rigid taste.
These two drinks cannot be distinguished by smell.
It turns out the composition of these two drinks is similar?
Yes, but only to a certain extent. Each has sugar, water, and all sorts of acids. But, despite this, we have two different drinks.
Initially, cocaine and its varieties were used in both. Then, when this substance was forbidden to use, it was replaced by caffeine.
Contrary to popular myth, sugar is not the caffeine in the stake.
Which of the two drinks is more popular?
A rather complicated question, because each product has its own buyer. So, there are countries in which cola is popular, in other Pepsi. And the politics and advertising companies are different for them.
Pepsi often invites world-class stars to advertise, trying to be on top.
So, Coca-Cola receives 74% of the revenue from the global market. Pepsi is significantly behind, with only 48%. It turns out that Coca-Cola is still more popular in the world.
And which drink do you like most, Pepsi or Cola?
