I do not know because I never buy either.
I do not want to destroy my teeth, but I have heard that they taste good.

I do not know other than that they are both American drinks.
I would interested to know the ingredients they are made.
Probably a lot of caffeine and sugar.

No mixers for me, except the occasional Shirley Temple.Do you not drink mixers?
Black Russians made with coke zero taste ok
My body doesn't like that. I take pints of stout, iced scotch, or cheap pink champ!
Coke
Coke is older than Pepsi.
I would say Coke is better, but not because it's older.
I generally don't drink soda unless it does NOT contain HFCS.
Diet soda contains either an even more processed version of HFCS or it contains aspartame which, when it was tested over 40 years ago before going on the market caused cancer in 2 out of the 8 lab rats eating it.
So I do not drink or eat anything with aspartame in it.
When I do drink soda I prefer if it is sweetened with sugar or something else that is a direct plant by-product (Stevia, sugar beet "sugar" etc) .
Sugar is not very good for you- but it does not straight up poison you like HFCS and aspartame ( and fructose-glucose, and crystalline fructose...basically if they have to use the basic molecule name for sugar- there is no nutritional value and it's gonna poison you slowly ).
I DO drink Mexican Coke- they only use sugar to sweeten their coke, pepsi and sprite and they manufacture them in glass bottles.
Despite the glass bottles giving it a classic, nostalgic feeling glass is easier to recycle than plastic( more of it is reused in the recycling process, but it always seems to me that glass recycling containers are harder to find!) and if you leave a drink in a glass bottle in the sun- the sun will not heat it until it starts leaching into the drink. As it will with a plastic bottle.
I really love Mexican coke- but I usually drink canned ( also does not leach into your drink!) or glass bottled Tea.
But if you are determined to drink soda- I suggest going with glass bottled mexican pepsi or coke. I like Sierra Mist, canned too.
Interesting fact- Coke-a-cola used to contain extract from the same plant cocaine is made out of. The Coka/Coca plant was used to make many different products before the government in the US got involved in food safety , drug safety or any product control of any kind, it was decades before the somewhat narcotic tendancies of the drink were changed because of government intervention.
Now coke is pretty much caramel/ sugar flavored.

Aren't you worried about BPA from the plastic lining in cans leaching?
Because you seem worried about everything else.

If this is true, I would have been dead long ago. Water probably does too.

Coke zero is second best.
I wasn't aware that canned beverages had plastic lining, I thought that was just for fruits and veggies.
I'm not being sarcastic ( looking around recently I see there is a lot of that on lit forums) but I am really interested to know where you learned there were BPA's in canned teas. Do you have a link?

Did you know that when they did the aspartame test that they fed the rats so much aspartame that you would have to drink 20 diet drinks a day for like 200 years? It was a ridculous amount. Also high fructose corn syrup is no more bad for you that sugar, and that means any type of sugar.
I changed 20 a tear to 20 a day. I had just awakened from a nap. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm not sure about your numbers, but since I didn't offer any either lets run with that!
People who drink soda habitually drink way more than 20 a year. Most kids who drink it ( in my experience, since neither of us has polled the worlds population on how much soda they drink I don't see why I need to clarify it but maybe I do) drink it daily.
So you're saying for someone to have a chance of getting cancer they would need to drink 4,000 drinks . ( 20 * 200)
But even if frequent soda drinkers ONLY ingested Aspartame from soda( even though it is in many deserts, condiments and some fast foods) and had one every other day (about 183 days a year) it would only take them about 21 years to be at risk for cancer.
But I have a hard time believing that when people most commonly drink soda - they drink the reccomended amount. I think you will agree, the serving size and size that is sold ever different things.
Most people are familar with the serving size disparity and I think you can even tell by looking at the nutrition label on the side of any food, food product or food byproduct that the "normal" or commonly presented amount of food and drink excedes what is federally reccomended.
You could go to the movies and easily drink twice the reccomended serving size of soda in a medium drink.
Sugar does not have the potential to give me cancer, so I prefer it, honey or stevia over aspartame ( and hfcs).
Also Aspartame is not a type of sugar.I'm guessing your got your aspartame/hfcs arguments crossed.
Many commercials( producted by the oh so impartial corn growers association, those who profit from it being sold even though it's essentially garbage) have that misleading line " it's nutritionally the same as sugar!" HFCS technically is in the same, broad chemical category.
Aspartame is not considered nutritionally anything , because it is not considered even a food by product.
Not even technically on a chemical level like HFCS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame) .
It is classified as a "non nutritive sweenter" because even by FDA standards it is not even considered a food, or a "food product" as HFCS is.
