Powerade is actually the coke product. I'm pretty sure Gatorade is not. (this is in reference to the poll).

In the choice between the two, I'll take Coke (Dt Coke). But, I mostly am a Dt. Mt. Dew man myself.

Yes, Powerade is a coke product. For all you Matrix fans out there (the movie) Powerade has a new flavor and is the official sponsor of Matrix Reloaded. I attached a picture of the advertiseing we are doing for it. As for the new Sprite it doesn't replace Sprite but is a brand extention. IT is called Sprite Remixed and is a tropical fruit sprite. I'll post images when i get them. Keep in mind that Coca Cola makes all the Minute maid juices owns seagrams mixers, Powerade, Planet Java, Mad River, KMX energy drink,Nestle ChogLit, Dasani water, Fanta Barqs root beer and many more.

I've found that there is nothing like a cold Coke. Rum and Coke is one of my favorite drinks. Ever hear of a "Rum and Pepsi"? No, and there's a good reason for it! I enjoy many of the products in the Coke line. There is also a Coke-related bit of trivia. Coke owns and operates the largest fleet of trucks in the world. Not, UPS, U.S. Postal Service, not anything else. Coke. There's a good reason for that, too.I remember when the "New Coke" came out. At first, it was supposed to replace regular Coke. People were buying up stockpiles of Coke like you wouldn't believe. Then, fortunately, they decided to release New Coke along side of the original. I even think I remember a Coke III that came out. I could swear that is was sold in a vending machine in my high school's lobby during my freshman year (1992). I should have bought a can of it to save and show everyone. Can anyone else confirm the existance of Coke III? It had red, white, and blue stripes on the can and said Coke III in a slightly modified Coke font.

I hope he can. I've gotten into several arguements over this. I don't remember seeing it in stores, only in a few vending machines. It was only out for a short while and then was gone.

I went to Coke's website,
http://www.coke.com and looked through their list of products and there was Coke II, but I didn't see a coke III. They've got a huge list of products.

"I hope he can. I've gotten into several arguements over this. I don't remember seeing it in stores, only in a few vending machines."Well for the record, there never was a coke III. It was probably a local can paint scheme for strictly market share gain. I have asked some of the other employees including those with over 26 years of service and from not one of them have i heard that there was a coke III. I belive that we learnd from the first mistake and have not changed the formula since. WE now concentrate on brand extentions such as sprite remixed, vanilla coke, a new cherry coke, diet vanila coke and many other to follow. I also left out Fruitopia in my post before as other brands under the coca cola bottling label. Mellow Yellow was cokes answer to mountain dew that just nevr caught on. We also have a Berry Mellow Yellow to market against Code Red Mountain DEw.

Quote, originally posted by trdvibe »cutting back on carbs and calories, so i have to go w/ diet dr pepperOf all the diet drinks that I've tried, I have to say that Diet Dr. Pepper has to taste the best! One of the few diet drinks that I can drink.Lately, I've been drinking the WalMart brand stuff. Surprisingly, it's not bad and for 50 cents per 2 liter bottle, I couldn't go wrong. They have their version of Dr. Pepper that they call Dr. Thunder that I think I like the best. Their Sprite imitation wasn't bad, either.But I still love to settle in with a nice cold Coke mixed with Captain Morgan Private Stock spiced rum. mmmmmmm....

Pepsi all the way. Coke tastes like flat Pepsi. I hate it when you go into restraunts and order a Pepsi and they say, "we only have Coke, is that OK?" NO!!! If I wanted a damn Coke I would have asked for one!!

Definately Coke for me. I usually drink diet pop, and I just don't like the taste of diet Pepsi. Even if I drink regular its still Coke, but I cannot taste as much of a difference between the two in regular because they seem so sweet compared to the diet I usually drink.However, RC Cola owns both of them, if I am lucky to see it in a store. Not many places carry it, but I occasionally run across it.

I drink Mt Dew and Code Red sometimes at work out of the vending machine. I might have to pick up a bottle at the store when it goes on sale to try it.

We have it a lot around here, it's in all the grocery stores and the local WalMarts too, I think. If I'm not mistaken, Royal Crown is located in the Pittsburgh area. I always see it outside the grocery stores in vending machines. Coke/Pepsi are 50-60 cents per can and RC might be 35 cents. WalMart has it's brand of sodas in machines outside their stores for 25 cents per can.

Coke leaves me thirsty, a dry throat. Pepsi does just fine. I hate how you ask for a Pepsi and they say "we got coke" cause yeah, I asked for a pepsi. So usually I then ask for a root beer cause thats my second fav drink.Plus I had a very bad experience with rye and coke once... lets just say I can't drink it anymore without nightmares lol.
