JiPoshy Recommendation
Coca-Cola pulls through with the win on this one. Not only did people find it the best tasting, but it's also the healthiest of the three.
Interesting Facts
- Did you know Coca-Cola is not only the number 1 cola but it's Diet Coke label is right behind it at number 2? (Leaving Pepsi at number 3)
- We had a couple complaints from subjects who experienced tooth pain during our Pepsi tasting. Even though Pepsi has only a couple more grams of high fructose corn syrup than it's competitors, this had no significant impact on their final decision.
- We initially did two surveys - One with cans, one with bottles. However, we found no significant difference in experience or overall influence.
- Even they opened the cans and bottles themselves, some subects also complained of a "Flat taste" during the RC Cola tasting.
