No, but I'll tell you that Chinese Dr. Pepper sucks ass. When I lived in Singapore, I had to make sure to check and see where it was bottled. Some of the stuff on the shelves was from the US and some was from China. Whatever they do at the Chinese bottling plant makes the DP taste just awful.

There's a pretty big debate about HFCS....is it "natural," is it worse for you than regular sugar, etc. My own opinion is that since HFCS is 55% fructose and 45% glucose, and sucrose breaks down into 50/50 fructose/glucose, there probably isnt that much of a difference. Sure, it is produced somewhat synthetically, but what isnt these days, besides purely organic foods? If you drank 5 american cokes per day for a year and 5 mexican cokes per day for a year, I bet you would get the same result: weight gain.
True, that is what he said. I'd agree that it tastes a little worse than sucrose-sweetened coke, but that stuff is expensive.
So many stereotypes here. The black mother pouring dollar store Purple Drink (aka Purple Stuff-thanks Sunny D) for her kids, the white short haired mom telling other people what to do with their kids and spouting off about "healthy living." Tsk tsk tsk.
I like both. No preference. Coke tastes like it has more carbonation and Pepsi tastes like it has more sugar (which is my guess as to why Pepsi beats Coke in blind taste tests).
I prefer Coke to Pepsi, but I prefer root beer to anything - and good root beer too, with Henry Weinhard's being the best, but I'll take IBC because it's fine and I can find it for pretty cheap.
