It is a matter of taste...

Right now, I'm a Coke man (despite my Pepsi Max can on the desk). Soon, I may tire of it as my taste buds adapt to the flavour and allow Pepsi to be a better choice.

In the end, we will all conform to one glorious cola product.

Pepsi reminds me of carbonated cough syrup. I'll stick to Diet Coke.

I prefer coke in a can then a bottle and Pepsi in a bottle then a can.
Coke taste good in a can cause when you put it in the fridge it taste damn good cold....can't say the same in a bottle...don't know why it taste different that way. :? ~Jason

Edit: TBO: The man deserved it. It would be too much of a bitch for the company to have a man that prefers Pepsi their competitor then their own. It would be like saying I like working here but fuck your products.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I don't see where lies the problem here. Companies fire people all the time for doing coke. What's wrong with firing someone for doing pepsi?

BTW, the trick with the Pepsi blind taste test is that they serve both beverages WARM. Both taste equally awful. Except Coke get better when cold, and Pepsi does not.

Myself, I've noticed that Coca-cola is much more acidic: I can literally feel the calcium being melted away from my teeth when I drink it. Pepsi has way too much sugar.

At least in Virginia, 6 pack cases of 24 oz bottles of pepsi tend to be cheaper than the equivalent in cans of coke. If he drinking 'Sams choice' for example, would they have a right to fire him.

ah-ha!!! I knew someone else agreed with me on the warm vs cold tasted difference.
Coke is way more acidic than puksi... I mean pepsi, you can use it to clean corrosion off of your battery cables on your car.
