In India you get Coke and Pepsi in bottles. They use cane sugar, and indeed you can tell the difference between coke, pepsi and thumbs up. Simply put in order from the most acidic to most sweet it's almost like Thumbs Up, Coke, Pepsi. I couldn't tell, but I've tried multiple blind tests on my family and friends and they could. After a few times with them you indeed notice a taste difference.


Yes, Pepsi tends to taste more sweet than Coke. While Coke tends to be a bit more carbonated feeling in the mouth, if that makes sense.

If you never had it, New Coke was sweeter like Pepsi, from what I remember.

By the way, what's Thumbs Up? Local brand?

It was a local brand but was later bought over by Coke. Taste-wise, it's a less sweeter more fizzier, and a bit more acidic version of Coke.
