What's the difference between coke and Pepsi? 可口可乐和百事可乐究竟有什么区别？

Heavy cola drinkers can distinguish between Pepsi and coke. To judge and choose between the two is a matter of personal taste and principle.

重度可乐爱好者能够一口分辨百事可乐还是可口可乐。在两者中做出判断并选择，这关乎一个人的品味与原则。

"Pepsi and Coca-Cola, you have to choose one!

It is not a passer-by who drinks pepsi-cola and coke.

“百事可乐和可口可乐，必须选一个！”
行为划分派别，喝百事可乐的人和可口可乐的粉注定不是一路人。

Malcolm Gladwell, a writer and best-selling author of the New Yorker, has revealed the real difference between the taste of the two in an article.

"Pepsi added citric acid. It also contains more sugar, which gives it a citrus flavor.

"Coca Cola does not contain citric acid and has less sugar. The phosphoric acid makes it more sour, even some vanilla.

《纽约客》撰稿人、畅销作家Malcolm Gladwell曾在一篇文章中揭露两者口感的真实区别。

“百事可乐添加了柠檬酸。同时它也含有更多的糖分，这让它带有柑橘口味。”

“可口可乐不含柠檬酸，糖分也较少。磷酸让它的口感更为酸涩，甚至有些香草口感。

"From the sips, the sugar in the bubble makes the Pepsi taste better."

"While Coca-Cola is more stimulating, the sour aftertaste stays in the mouth and body for a long time."

It's like the front and the back, different people have different preferences.

“从啜饮上来说，泡沫中的糖分让百事可乐口感更加丰盈。”

“而可口可乐更刺激，酸涩的余味在口腔和体内停留较长时间。”
就像是前调和后劲，不同的人偏好不同的爽感。

On Quora and Reddit, there's always a lot of response to the discussion about Pepsi and delicious. In the hearts of fans of both sides, there is no such difference between the enemy and me, and the coke of our family has the unsurpassed advantage.

在Quora和Reddit上，关于百事和可口的讨论总会引来大量的回复。在两派的粉丝心中，敌我之间绝不止这点区别，自家的可乐有着不可超越的优点。

In one bottle:

Pepsi calories 250, sugar 69g, caffeine 63mg.

Coca-Cola calories 140, sugar 39g, caffeine 34mg.

"It turns out that Pepsi is the real energy drink, like a deep water bomb, and it's full of fighting power."

一位叫做tindlerthrowaway在上面的留言下这样回复。

"The guy who drinks Pepsi must be the coolest, the coolest, because it provides the most powerful and refreshing experience. The rich carbon dioxide bubbles make the sweet smell of the citrus from the mouth straight to the brain, and the friends who enjoy the short-term stimulation can drink it repeatedly and quickly kill a can.

"Fast and efficient. This is The choice of a new generation!

A Pepsi fan is calling for love on a similar topic on Quora.

不出意外，每一个百事粉丝的高调留言下就会出现敌军的diss。

“清甜酸涩的口感带来绵长的回味，这让我无需一直猛灌就能不断享受到可乐的美味。这是经典的口感，chill的生活方式。”

No amount of coke can produce such fine tips.

For serious enthusiasts, coke can replace cigarettes as a source of addiction.

Every day must drink, do not drink whole body afflictive.

没有大量的可乐浇灌不出如此精细的舌尖心得。

对于重度爱好者来说，可乐能够取代香烟成为上瘾之源。

每天必喝，不喝浑身难受。

"The first thing to wake up every day is to unscrew the coke. As the caramel bubbles flowed into my body, my body began to bubble and my soul began to rise.

"It's different from nicotine in spirit, it's the penetration of the body into the mind. When you feel the injection of energy, your body feels heavy, your spirit soaring into the air.

As a classic drink, loyal cola fans can eat different tastes.

作为佐餐经典饮品，忠实的可乐粉丝能够把食物吃出不同的味道。

"The pizza is able to dilute the thickness of the texture and make the bulk less congested. If you combine cornflakes or chips, you reduce the anxiety of excess salt. With spaghetti, it can ease the boredom.

"If I don't have coke, I can't swallow any food."

Heavy fans at the Coca-Cola headquarters are always ready to share their addictions.

“披萨在可乐的浸润下能够稀释厚重的口感，让大块料不那么添堵。如果搭配玉米片或薯片，则降低了多余的盐分带来的焦躁。搭配意大利面，可以缓解腻味。”

“如果少了可乐，我连任何食物都难以下咽。”

可口可乐大本营里，重度粉丝总是乐于分享自己的上瘾体验。

Coke and Pepsi are all different in making coke.

Some netizens claimed that in the production of cola chicken wings, Pepsi came out with a slightly lighter color and crystal clear, with a sweet taste. Coca - cola has a stronger color and spices.

在制作可乐食物方面，可口可乐和百事可乐都会体现区别。

有网友声称，在可乐鸡翅的制作中，百事可乐出来的颜色稍淡且晶莹剔透，口味带有果味的香甜；而可口可乐色泽较为浓厚，留有香料的辛香。

Many experts have made their own explanations for coke's addiction.

对于可乐上瘾，不少专家作出了自己的解释。

"The reason coke is the most successful soda is that when taken at different temperatures, the tongue detects different proportions of sweet, bitter, salty and alkaline levels. This is the great history of 1886."

"Dozens of milligrams of caffeine without 100 mg of coffee has a significant mental boost. As sugar enters the bloodstream, it can evoke a natural recovery of energy.

"Most doctors would recommend that some snacks be served with cola in order to control the release of sugar into your physiology."

The benefits of coke's intangibles make people dependent on it. It is stronger than alcohol, and the people who drink it have graduated from college.

“可乐之所以是最成功的苏打饮料，在于它当在不同的温度下服用时，舌头会检测到甜、苦、咸和酸碱程度的不同配比。这是自1886年诞生的伟大历史。”

“几十毫克的咖啡因没有咖啡中的100毫克对精神产生明显的刺激。伴随糖分进入血液，能够唤起精力的自然复苏。”

“大多数医生会建议在一些零食伴随可乐的饮用，以便更有控制地将糖释放到您的生理中。”

可乐无形之中带来的益处让人对它产生依赖。它比酒精烟草得劲，喝它的人都大学毕了业。

The writer Malcolm Gladwell explained at the end of his essay,

"Coca-Cola and pepsi-cola, in addition to the subtle differences in taste, are more of an impression imposed on them. This factor is mainly from the brand strategy.

"Pepsi, which was born in 1898, is only 12 years behind Coca-Cola, but its' younger generation 'has managed to get people on the line. Pepsi fans pursue cool sensory experiences, while Coca-Cola fans taste emotions and classics.

Business, after all, determines everything.

作家Malcolm Gladwell在他文章的最后解释道，
“可口可乐和百事可乐除了口感上细微的差别，更多的来自人们对它强加的印象。这一因素主要来自品牌策略。”

“诞生于1898年的百事可乐只比可口可乐晚12年，但它‘年轻一代’的定位成功让人站了队。百事可乐的粉丝追求酷炫的感官体验，而可口可乐爱好者品味的是情怀和经典。”

说到底还是商业决定了一切。
