I'd like to reply to few of these posts...

First of all, yellow-5, which was rumored to lower sperm count, doesn't do anything more than, say, yellow-1 or yellow-6.

Secondly, while I respect Pepsi for being able to generate so many sales and surpassing Coke in such a short period of time, my loyalty still lies with the original Coke. Why? It tastes better.

Third and last, I personally think that the only reason Pepsi gained such popularity is because they appealed to members of Pop Culture. Look at recent Pepsi ads - with Beyonce and whatever else. Although for the most part they are fairly tasteless and dull to view, it appeals immensely to people who are immersed in Pop/Hip-Hop culture. However, while Coke sticks to more traditional advertising, with equal amounts of sex appeal and "feel-good" (those polar bears and Santy Claus, anyone?) ads, no one gives a damn anymore. When was the last time you saw a Coke commercial? Seems like ages to me.

Anyone ever seen the Dr.Pepper ads? Those are just hilarious. A bunch of celebs come out and tell you to drink Dr.Pepper to be an individual. :lol:
