Pepsi v Coca-Cola - Danster - 02-05-2024
2023 was a sad, sad year for me.
I have adored Pepsi from a young age and used to consume unhealthy amounts of it (well in excess of a litre a day, every day). A few years back I recognised it was a bit out of control and made a rule that I wasn't allowed to drink it when at home or at work, only when I was out and about.
However, last year Pepsi changed the recipie to reduce the amount of sugar by 49%, and replace it with rank sweeteners. Ridiculous, as they have the Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max options. As a result, it is now disgusting. So I have converted to Coca-Cola. Absolutely unthinkable this time last year.

I drank regular Pepsi up until my 20's, and then switched to Diet Pepsi which I prefer. I cut back or quit periodically, but always end up drinking too much of it again after a few months.
I remember as a kid when junk food and drink was relatively expensive and was something we'd get as a treat. Now we always have a 12 or 24 pack of cans in the house, and its been that way for years.
When I was training and racing hard I did like to drink a little bit of Coke to get quick calories during the middle of a long run or race. Lots of calories and pretty easy on the stomach, and didn't taste too bad if you had to drink it warm.

This time last year I would have argued strongly against that assertion, but they have absolutely ruined Pepsi in the UK.

That's too bad.

I should probably have taken it as an opportunity to wean myself off it completely as it's really bad for you, but now I'm almost as into Coca-Cola as I was into Pepsi for all those years!

It's not that bad for you, just drink it in moderation.
