Blind Taste Test #3

The contendors in the cola face off: Coke, Pepsi, Mexican Coke, Big K, Safeway Select and RC. The predictions: Craig and Robert were betting on Mexican Coke – Thomas predicted that Pepsi would win (but only because the RC was warm from being in Robert’s car and not in the fridge)

Scientifically, we calculated each contender… taking into account their subtleties. Here are the results:

Safeway Select: Too sweet. Tasted almost like a diet color. Not much flavour. Tasted cheap. Too little corbonation.

Coke: Lemony citrus undertones. Better than the first one. Complex. Some guessed that this one was coke.

Pepsi: Perfect. Not too sweet. No aftertaste. Nice body. Perfect amount of carbonation.

Mexican Coke: A cinnamony bubblegum-ish flavour (kind of like juicy fruit). Smooth. Tasted flat. Nobody even considered this cola. (Note: This was not shaken up, which does hurt this as a contendor)

Big K: Good head. Slight citrus mint flavours. However, overall flat and flavour explosionless.

RC: Citrus undertones. Tasted like dirty water. Acidic and syrupy. (Note: This was at room temperature which is unfair)

And the winner? Pepsi. Everyone agreed (in this blind taste test) that Pepsi won. Even when the majority of the people doing the test were coke drinkers! It’s proof that Pepsi really does taste the best.
