Poll: Epic Poll of Epic Proportions: Coke vs. Pepsi

Pepsi.
But Diet Coke is the best. Coke flavor without waiting 2 hours for the fizziness to go away. Bleh, feels like acid on my teeth.

Pepsi is superior, only because of the sacred nectar that is MOUNTAIN DEW.
Mountain Dew is the be all, end all of carbonated beverages, and I am drinking one as we speak at 8:23 in the morning.
Coke... is alright. It tastes way too sugary. Diet Coke tastes sort of weird too. I'm a bit jaded though, I suppose. The campus I live on is a Coke-only campus, and so when I get my hands on a Pepsi product it's like a rare treat.
The next epic poll would of course be, DIET or REGULAR Coke/Pepsi? My vote: Diet, because it contains Aspartame, a derivative of crack-rock.

As one of the poor fools currently floundering in Organic chemistry, I can tell you that just because something has Fluorine in it, doesn't make it poisonous. For instance, I'm sure many of you cook on TEFLON pans, and all teflon is is polymers of repeating carbon-carbon backbones with two fluorines attached: (CCL2-CCl2-CCl-2) N times. That's not to say you should ever, ever EAT Teflon. Or if your cheap teflon pan starts to bubble and flake off you should keep using it, due to said risk of eating it.werepossum said:
Elements in the pure form have entirely different properties than elements bonded to say, carbon, and then they have completely different properties if they are bonded to water. And then, the organization of molecules gives them different properties.
Then there are things like chirality. Molecules can be left or right handed, and the two versions react differently with your body. For instance, the receptors in your nose that you use to smell things are chiral, so the left handed molecule smells differently than the right handed molecule. Or, your body uses only a specific handedness of glucose if I remember my Biology correctly, and the other glucose makes the tough indigestible outer covering of plants. Or there was a drug I read about released many years ago to prevent morning sickness, which was an even mixture of right and left-handed molecules. One had the desired effects, the other caused rampant birth defects.
In short, I know nothing about the fluorine in the water, but just telling me there is a halogen in it that is poisonous in its pure form says absolutely nothing. Sodium, in its pure form, explodes violently if you expose it to water. Chlorine, in its pure form, is a gas that will put a hefty burn on your lungs and respritory system if you were unfortunate enough to breath it. But salt, sodium-chloride makes everything delicious.
Also, there's also probably trace amounts of Ecoli in the water, but that doesn't kill you either.
I like both pretty much equally. In cans anyway, in bottles I prefer Coke as Pepsi seems to taste somewhat dull in bottles, for some reason. Maybe it's my imagination. >_>
I must say, having a neutral stance on this means I can just buy whichever is on special. Hello savings!

I didn't actually say or mean to imply that anything with flourine is poisonous, just that some florides are. My point was that I *think* the floride added to municipal water supplies are not added to directly kill bacteria and/or other critters, but rather to be absorbed and strengthen teeth. (I still haven't looked that up, so I might be wrong. When I last took a chemistry class, most people on this board weren't even born.)Uszi said:
Good luck with organic chemistry. I was never good even at regular chemistry, and listening to the horror stories I went and bought a text book on organic chemistry. Luckily EEs didn't have to take it, or there'd be a lot fewer EEs. I don't think I'd ever have made it through organic chemistry.
Aight, I have to say that I prefer Coke, because plus being the original, it has less caffeine in it than Pepsi, meaning it's not quite so bad.
P.S: I say "aight" because if any of you have played Saints Row, you'll know that Dex says that a lot, so I say it a lot, even though I'm whiter than a snowman with a bukkake fetish( to quote the words of Yahtzee, great gaming god of omni-potence).

your argument AGAINST coke is they put cocaine in it?caseyday09 said:
and i laughed at the pulp fiction TV quote.
COKE FTW
