To carry over from the Politics Forum thread about a Pepsi boycott ... which caramel-colored carbonated cough syrup do you quaff?

Neither, Dr. Pepper!

I prefer Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. The regular stuff is just a bit too sweet for me.

Oh, and Guinness is mighty fine!

I almost always choose Dr. Pepper when its an option. Barring that Mr. Pibb

Pepsi & neither (Dr. Pepper, and R.C.)

U of I's sold its soul to Coca-Cola until 2007, and I didn't like it when I enrolled here... so I don't drink it when I don't have to.

I couldn't vote for anything else when Guinness is an option.

Coke. Always Coke.

Pepsi is evil, and must be removed from my presence.

Beer is nasty, and Guinness is nasty, concentrated.

Another Dr. Pepper freak here!

I prefer Coke over Pepsi, if those were the only two choices, though.

Pepsi gives me a nasty case of near-instant heartburn.

Diet Coke to be precise.

Pepsi is foul, luckily I don't even have the option to drink it now. About 3 years ago Pepsi bailed out of PNG due to poor sales. This was despite the Pepsi franchise being owned by the sole brewery in the country and the brewery using its beer supply muscle to try to cow clubs and other outlets into pushing Pepsi instead of Coke. You can't force people to drink crap though. Some of the brewery reps confessed afterwards how happy they were that they no longer had to promote Pepsi and be seen only drinking that garbage.

I like a good cold beer, but Guinness is pure nasty bilge water. Never Pepsi.
