I'm calling BS on this story....(saw this earlier today)

No way the recipe was found in a newspaper article from the 70's.....Coke already denying the story (obviously) but until somone uses the ingredients to make it, then we'll know...

This.

Only Coke products I like are Cherry Coke and Sprite. Wild Cherry Pepsi sucks and Sierra Mist is awful IMO.

Pepsi is fucking nasty!! Coke all the way drink about 5 of them a day. The fiancé tells me I'm killing myself. But I just look at her like she has a 3rd eye growing on her forehead.

5 a day? You are going to die.

That's 700 calories in soda alone. Not to mention the 195 grams of sugar.

It's not the Pepsi. There is probably a correlation between it, and he fact that you still have the taste of semen in your mouth.

Pepsi is DISGUSTING! Way too sweet. I don't drink any Pepsi products....hate Mt. Dew and Wild Cherry Pepsi. Coke is the GOAT of all sodas.

I try to only have one Coke/week...usually when I have pizza or if I go to a burger place.
