The last post is from March. It's a dead thread. Just because we talked about something five months ago means we can't talk about it anymore? A lot of the members posting here weren't even registered in March. I know I wasn't.

Actually yes, you should have used the existing thread. "Dead threads" are only really important for technology changes.

There is absolutely nothing different between this thread and the old one. There is nothing that would have made the old thread not relevant.

Not using an existing thread is just bad netiquette.

Yeah it did. Oh well :)

I wonder what happened to your vote when you picked "Other" in the other thread?

LoL, sorry for repeating something that have already been discussed. I'm still quite a newbie here and was having a rather dull weekend (like the Windows OS).

Anyway, I started this thread because I did an experiment for my Psychology A-Level by testing people's perceptions on the taste of Coke/Pepsi. The results were rather interesting that most participants couldn't identify the difference between the two and made incorrect guesses. I did it just to test my research method though. My actual coursework experiment was related to physical attractiveness correlation in married couples.

I was just going to say the same thing. I haven't had RC in forever. I guess Pepsi too.
I voted Coke. I don't drink pop as I call it. It is not called soda or soda pop. :p
But all that carbonation makes me ill, so I will only buy it in bottled form so I can slowly shake all of the carbonation out and drink it flat. Coke flat is far superior to Pepsi flat.

I love the term "Coke flat", lol, making it sounds like a whisky or something.

Pepsi, to me, is too much like candy... very syruppy sweet. Coke has better flavor to me.

... Pepsi goes flat as soon as you open it. It's not as crisp tasting and I find Pepsi tastes sweeter than Coke.

Haha, my brother prefers Pepsi ~ when he has a bottle of Coke he shakes it so it goes flat, like Pepsi!
