I'm on the fence myself about who's better. I think they're both good.
One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger

I'm strictly a water drinker (except for the sports drinks I consume during runs). But I have a funny story about this Coke-vs-Pepsi thing...
When I bought my house almost seven years ago, the owners had turned the kitchen into a veritable "shrine" to Coca-Cola. Curtains, plates, glasses, even the lamp was a Coke "Tiffany" lamp!
Not being Coke fanatics, we replaced the decor with a more neutral scheme. About a year later, I bought a home security system. During the installation, the installers had to cut into the kitchen wall to place the control box. Lo and behold, what did they find stashed inside the wall, but a Pepsi bottle - apparently left behind by the builders during the original construction.
All those years, and the original owners never knew that their "shrine" to Coca-Cola had been subverted by Pepsi in the woodwork!

My husband and I are convinced she is a very good actress. Hilarious!
I can see the thread title now:
"Husband and I need help with POJA about cats"
