anyway, i did that pepsi taste test at hfstival last year, and i have to say that i am extremely suspicious. i know the difference between coke and pepsi very well. coke is more syrupy and sweet while pepsi is thinner and has more of the cola bean flavor. when i took the taste test, BOTH of them tasted very similar, as if they were both half and half pepsi and coke. very odd. (they have you eat some crackers after drinking the first sample to clear your pallate btw). anyway after drinking the second sample, i couldn't tell which one was which because they were very similar, so i picked the one that i thought was closer to being COKE. turned out it was PEPSI. i did it again about 30 minutes later, after getting a coke and a pepsi at a local vendor just to make sure i knew the difference between them. this time i picked the one that tasted more like pepsi. also, PEPSI. i was astounded. normally i like coke better, yet here was this supposed taste test telling me no matter what i drink, i will like pepsi better? i think they must have either changed the cans under the cover before i picked so that it was pepsi, or pulled some other sort of trick. very very strange.

Its good to know someone at pepsi

CK is right. They are a 50-50 mix in both cups. The trick is the slight of hand they pull with the cans. each can has a coke "skin" on it.

You chose and they pull the paper and the "skin" off at the same time. and they will either show you the other can or even let you lift the paper. If you dont know how to grab the skin its not pulling off and all you see is a coke can.

its pretty slick

Actually they're endorsing the idea that you have to have a perfect body to be on MTV, which is in fact VERY close to reality.

As for MTV, I totally agree with CK and PG, but another big problem I have is that they're basically a marketing outlet for music. A lot of people think MTV plays pop music...well, it's the other way around. The music on MTV is pop because it's on MTV. Kids who see the crowds of beautiful people and want to be a part of it all also will pick up the music. It's not horrible music, but a large percentage of it is the same recycled crap over and over. How cool would you be if people knew you listened to some unknown band whose music is meaningful enough to you that it doesn't appeal to 9 out of 10 high school kids? Oh well, I suppose it's part of the herd mentality. Speaking of which, how about that show they're pimping now--'Becoming'? The one where you get to be Blink182 (*retch*) or some other pop star? Finally, your life has meaning because you are popular and your product is profitable! The things that make you a unique and valuable person are no longer those things which set you apart from everyone else, but the ones that exemplify the way everyone wants to be and is willing to take home and hang on their wall.

Wolfguard, you mean I was RIGHT? I KNEW IT! This is incredible! One of my outlandish conspiracy theories is accurate! I'm terrified! The world is coming to an end! And when I get to hell's gate the doorman asks me if I would like a drink and I say "sure, coke would be nice" and he says "you mean pepsi. coming right up".

1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl....... Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in
Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
8. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy.
9. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.
10. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FYI:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

If they only show you the one you pick, they they're both Pepsi cans. Kind of like the Shell game, but without the pea at all.

Then there's always the 7-UP taste challenge...
