Could find no difference - 50%
Preferred Pepsi - 1%.
(well.... it's possible)
But the statement is correct... just the conclusion that is erroneous.
Another little bit of information: if you read the side of a can of a soda, it will usually say "contains sucrose and/or corn syrup" (or words to that effect). There is currently a movement to try to force them to label the cans with EITHER "sucrose" (sugar) OR "corn syrup". Why do the soda companies resist being precise on their content labelling? |
Because they use machines to fill different kinds of sodas. Have you seen the label "May contain nuts (or something someone might be allergic to)"? That's because that product is packed with machines that also handle nuts. It's for protection, legally.
It depends. My taste buds are kind of deadenend to even the tastes of Dr. Pepper, Coke and Pepsi, I've drunk so much of each...
