Hello everyone this is
Review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
I'm your host the report of the week and welcome to another installment of the unnamed drink series. That's right
It is still here and is still around was kind of lurking in the shadows for the most part
But it is back and oh boy. Is it back indeed?
This is a big viewer request and it's something that really I've had going on
I've had this idea for it for a while
And finally, we have the chance to implement it and I'm pretty excited about it. To be honest now
I imagine as the title says you kind of already know what this is about, right?
Though it's not about the chicken wings. That's that's the next one. This is the coke versus Pepsi
Challenge and you know this stems back to the 80s
I mean, this is an 80s throwback right there where I mean
You know people love their soda people like soda or soft drinks or cold drinks or pop or whatever adjective you wish to call it
People love it people drink at five times a day
Some people who have the false teeth. Well, they like the taste of it so much
They'll remove them and they'll put it in a glass of soda for the night
What some people will do is a bathe in it?
There's the soda only diet, but you know, it is a culture of soda people love it
and of course you have vicious competition all throughout
Where you have? Of course, Coca Cola you have Pepsi and
Then you have you know, the knockoff super Super Market brand that no one really cares about and everyone feels bad for but nonetheless
Of course, we have this huge rivalry rivalry between Pepsi and Coke
Everyone has their side you spend like this for decades, right?
and this isn't going to be any sort of definitive answer but merely what I want to do today is do a taste test and
I myself will determine which one I personally prefer which one I think tastes the best
so
We're gonna do because you might be saying, okay
Well, if that's the case, how can you do this with impartiality?
You know
How can you do a taste test fairly wouldn't you be able to see it when you'll be able to you know easily see?
Oh, yeah, I know this one's coke and so on and so forth. Well, that's where we have some third-party
Help we have assistance today and here's how it's going to work
I'm gonna be blindfolded and in each one of these
We'll have one of them being Coca Cola. One of them will be Pepsi be poured into these glasses I could assure you
That won't be mixed together. You'll see and it'll be everything will be okay after each step. I'll rinse it out with the water and
then I'm just gonna go and really be able to tell you which of these two I think is better and
Then once I have reached my conclusions, we will in the grand reveal
Lift up one of these and we'll see which one I end up preferring
So again, and one of them is gonna be just your standard Coca Cola in the other one
It's gonna be your standard Pepsi. So without further ado
Let's begin shall we? [Now before we begin you have to wear this blindfold?]
Thank you very much. Okay
[Now I'll get the Chilled Beverages]
[Can you see?]
Blindfold is snugly applied. [Okay]
[How's that feel?] well it's a high fashion I guess it's the best way to describe
Thank you
[I'm wondering what you're gonna pick]
[Everyone now before he chooses]
[Tell me what you think. He's gonna pick okay?]
Yeah, I I will be interested. I'll be interested in seeing what everyone has to say because
You know, I'm curious honestly, I wonder if it's gonna be just a big a big surprise for me or what's gonna really miss them
It's always good to
What to break the tension I have to inquire. Hmm. What's your favorite breakfast food [Oh]
[Now back in the day]
[It used to be Bojangles gravy biscuits with a sausage gravy]
[Now that was the stuff thumbs up thumbs up if you feel me on this guy's]
[and now it's kind of like hashbrowns from McDonald's and]
[What is it egg white delight?] Oh, yeah
Yeah, no, big Bojangles is good. I haven't had the chance to
And no McDonald's is always solid. They have a good breakfast. Oh
[I'm I'm nervous.] It's okay
All right. Can I remove the blindfold? [Let me check. Let me check make sure these are level]
[It's good.] All right, we're moving the blindfold
[Now, good luck. I wish the best of luck to both Coke and Pepsi stock]
[I hope neither one of them fall after this.] All right fingers crossed for no market crash after this
Thank you very much for all that you've done. Thank you
Okay, so we have the two right here as you saw in one of them is Coca Cola and one
Of them is Pepsi now like you saw that was a 100% authentic
blindfold I
Could I couldn't have see to be honest? I don't know if there's pink
Residue all over my face, but if there is that's just you know
That's my new look and we'll go for it
Anyway, so in one of them coke one of them Pepsi and we're just gonna give it a try
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go with this one first
Here I'm gonna take a sip of it and then I'll just sip it down of some water and I don't repeat
Unknown substance going in
I'm trying to be very delicate
All right pallet is cleansed and we'll try out the second one
Okay, and then will do again because I want maximum efficiency
I figured to break the monotony
We'll try this one once more and then we'll just try that one and then we'll get to the analysis
May as well for the sake of it. I
Should mention of course, I have the new podcast that's out. You know the way it goes

Okay, we did it the proceedings went by and now it's time to get to business
So I was taking some notes. I'm going all serious Here I am
So I have drink one. That's this one and drink to this one
so just kind of
Writing down some, you know notes
Alright first and foremost drink one, which is this one I
I found that it had you know, here's the first thing both of them taste like soda
Now that that has been established
Drink one I think is more on the smooth side. I think it's a bit smoother now
I don't know how well this is really displaying on the camera and this one
Looks like it's more on the carbonated side. This one is still is mind you but it's not as harsh
In regards to its taste its texture. It just seems to have it's just more smoother
That's the best way to describe it
And when I when I have a drink I always like for it to be a little bit more on the smooth side
It's also a little bit more watery
Which again that kind of I think adds to the smoothness to it?
Doesn't really have much in the way of acidity a little bit of sweetness. Whereas drink -
It's definitely on the more carbonated side
definitely a more harsher type of carbonation and
Certainly a little bit more abrasive. It's probably the best way to describe it
It is a little more flavorful a bit more on the sweet side. Definitely has that
Acidity to it
So this one is definitely a bit more potent and just a bit stronger and again more abrasive the best way to put it
whereas this drink is more mellow smooth and
You know
You can just kind of even though this one might be a little more
Flavorful this kind of just hits you like a wall. This one is a little bit more like a a gentle absorption
Probably the best way to put it
so I
mean seeing that to be honest if I even had to to take a guess I mean
Like like in my mind
I'm just I'm thinking right now if I had to take a guess I would I would have to say I think this one
would probably be
Coca-cola and I think this one would be Pepsi. I'm not I'm not entirely sure
you know that that's what my guess would be and
As a result, I would probably end up going with this one mix again
I like the smoothness to it. And I think that while this one is maybe a little stronger in terms of flavor
I just like I just like the way this one goes down better. So
I'm all for this one and
Let's see
Let's do the big reveal
And let's see which one is which and you might be saying review brah can't you see over the top?
No, I can't I actually I have no idea which one is which
Alright, so let's do this. Let's remove them and see what's what
No way no
Way Wow, isn't that something
Isn't that something you
Know you weren't you you learn something new?
Wow, you know that got me
That really got me that is you know
that's a true blind taste test right there where I was all for this one and I was thinking to myself that has to be
Coca-cola that you know there has to be and I was I was thinking yeah, that's you know
That's just how it's how it's got to be us. I'm gonna taste good. I prefer it
This one seemed a bit on the harsher side. And what does it end up being it ends up being Pepsi of all things
I'm actually surprised but that's the fun of it. That's why
Even though I don't do blind taste tests
They're you know, very often. I mean that's that's the fun of it
You never know what you're gonna get and sometimes you're just completely blown away
Like sometimes you'll get it and it'll be like, alright. Well, this is this is just the way it goes
expectations were what they were but
I'm actually I'm sure it's it to be to be quite honest
I I'm legitimately surprised where I thought I thought this is got it had to be had to be
The coca-cola and that's that's one. So surprisingly enough. I actually in this situation out of the cans
I preferred the Pepsi I actually think that that had the
superior taste it seemed like it was just less abrasive than
The coca-cola which surprised me normally I myself, you know, I usually go with coca-cola when I go and get soft drinks
And and you know, I suppose it all depends - but under this circumstance the ones in the cans
under these conditions
I thought the Pepsi actually tasted superior and this comes from someone who drinks coca-cola most of the time so really fascinating
As a result out of ten if either just give each of these cans of soda an individual rating
I would rate the Pepsi that being drink one
You know, I would give it
an eight point zero
Out of ten I should get an eight and the coca-cola is still pretty good for what it is
I would get a seven point one out of ten both of them, of course perfectly fine
You know
it's not like I'm projectile vomiting as soon as I guzzled the first sip down but in the end, I think i'm actually
Am very surprised best way to put it
so with that being said that is the Coke versus Pepsi challenge a true blind taste test and
I
Will be honest when I first was doing this. I really didn't know how it would go over
I wasn't sure where I didn't know was it gonna be? I thought it was just gonna be kind of my
Expectations would have been met and I thought it had to be coke, but I'm quite surprised
So it's a really fun video to do a lot of fun to make and had some some twists and turns and some true
Surprises in it as well. Thank you for watching. I'm your host the report of the week
