If the "Pepsi Challenge" has any validity, I took it and was a little suprized
that the difference didn't jump out at me (I'm a Coke fan.)  However, after
a second taste I definitely liked one better.  It was the Coke.

As an aside: The sign-up sheet had you list your preference BEFORE the taste
test and everyone but me and another had checked Pepsi.  I find it hard to
believe that only Pepsi drinkers were taking the test.  And if not, why would
off-the-street people who drink Coke feel so compelled to lie and say Pepsi?
Do they picture being in a suprize TV commercial?  Do they want to be nice
and not offend the Pepsi girl running the test?  I really don't understand
this.
