So was I, but I don't know how to drop the numbers in the chemical formulae below the line on the keyboard and didn't want to show my ignorance.
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

Coke is just Pepsi without the flavor, Coke is so flat and bland

Plus, I like when Pepsi gets creative (even if nobody else does):

Defination for benzine from 'Answers.com'

"A colorless, flammable, liquid aromatic hydrocarbon, C6H6, derived from petroleum and used in or to manufacture a wide variety of chemical products, including DDT, detergents, insecticides, and motor fuels. Also called benzine, benzol."

The chemical reaction would produce benzene, not benzine, and is a result of the action of heat and light.

I meant Benzene, but it is also known as Benzine as well as noted above. The point is it is a very toxic substance.

If you put a nail into a jar of your stomach acid, it will dissolve in 4 days as well.

Probably the main reason I buy Pepsi. 

I usually order Coke at a restaurant, but if I get the "Is Pepsi okay?" from the waitress, I won't throw a fit.  Coke is only one syllable, which is why I'll say it. LOL

If it weren't for Coca Cola I don't think that the term coke would be used to refer to a drink.

We call my Mom a Pepsiholic.  She just about keeps the brand alive singlehandedly.  As I grew older I became more of a Coke fan.  Had to give it up for a while as I was diagnosed with diabetes.  I really don't like standard diet Coke, too sweet tasting.  But now there's Coke Zero.  Woo hoo!!! Big smile

I have to guess you already know what was in the original formula? LOL

By the way, if you didn't know, we have a Coke museum here in Atlanta.  I still haven't been.
