Until a couple of years ago I was a die-hard Coke drinker (gee, that
sounds like a confession at a AA meeting!) and would refuse a Pepsi
out-of-hand. Then I took the "Pepsi taste test" and (what else?) 
chose Pepsi as my favorite. I still drink and prefer Coke but I'm
no longer FANATIC about it. 

My suggestion to all you die-hard Coke drinkers out there: Take the
taste test (you're going to have to find some old Coke first). You
may be suprised by the results.

P.S.  My criterion for what soda to drink these days is:
         1) Is it a cola?
         2) Is it non-diet? (I hate Nutra-Sweet)
         3) Is it on sale?
      If all other factors are equal, then I choose Coke over the others.
