7 differences between Pepsi And Coke you didn’t know
1. If you ever find yourself in a heated Pepsi-Coke dispute, forget the point: “Coke came first”. John Pemberton, the creator of Coca-Cola, created it in the year 1886 in Fulton County, Georgia. There were many prohibition laws regarding Coca-Cola at the time but these were all passed eventually. Pepsi, however, was created in 1893 by a man named Caleb Bradham of North Carolina.
2. The nutrition label on Pepsi bottles state that it contains just over one gram of sugar, this is most certainly not the case. Pepsi contains many artificial sweeteners (which are not classed as sugars hence why it only has one gram of sugar within itself) hence making it much sweeter than coke. As a consequence, this gives Pepsi a slight chemical aftertaste.
3. Coke has a characteristically “raisin-vanilla” taste. This is due to the chemical ‘vanillan’. Pepsi, however, has a citrus flavour that disperses as it is drunk.
4. “Spheres” are the measurement of how carbonated a drink is (how much CO2 is dissolved into it). Pepsi has a lesser amount of spheres in comparison to Coke. So if one opens a can of coke, it’s going to be more carbonated than a can of Pepsi, in turn making it fizzier!
5. To lower people’s perspective on Coke, Pepsi developed a formula that was designed for taste tests. They formulated a marketing scheme, “The Pepsi Challenge”. Pepsi’s distinctive citrus taste and its lesser carbonation worked in its favour. In the majority of cases, when comparing the two beverages, people generally preferred the beverage with a more intense flavour and less carbonation.
6. Although Pepsi has more sweeteners in comparison to Coke, Coke has a larger salt content. In a 240 mL serving, Coke contains 33 mg of sodium in comparison to that of 20 mg in Pepsi. Sodium has an impact on ones blood pressure, so be aware.
7. If you’re looking for a little energy boost at any time of the day, I would recommend Pepsi as it contains three more grams of caffeine than Coke.

Interesting fact:
Duct Tape was originally known as Duck Tape. The military used it for sealing ammunition cases during the second World War to prevent water from getting in to them, and the name was thought to come from the saying "water off a duck's back", and indeed was "waterproof" like a duck. The vehicle that would have carried the ammunition cases was called DUKW, pronounced "duck" (I guess the "w" is silent).
The name became Duct Tape because as you might have guessed, it was pretty handy for using to wrap air ducts, although most professional builders wouldn't recommend it. They tend to use stronger tape, which they still call Duct Tape.
It is referred to as the ultimate power tool, and in the film Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood's character, Walt Kowalski, said that a man needed only three tools: WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape.
I always used to call it "Duck Tape" until I read of its correct pronunciation.
Both are acceptable according to the Duct Tape Guys (or Duck Tape Guys).
Bluetooth is named after Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson (Old Norse: Haraldr blátǫnn Gormsson, Danish: Harald Blåtand Gormsen), ostensibly due to his abilities to make diverse factions communicate with each other. According to legend, he gained the nickname "Bluetooth" from his love of blueberries, which stained his teeth. The Bluetooth logo consists of the Nordic runes for his initials, H and B
Dogs and humans are the only two species on earth who seek visual cues from another individuals eyes, and Dogs only do this when interacting with humans.
Dogs can actually taste water, because they have taste buds tuned for it. The same goes for cats. All humans taste is the minerals and impurities in it.
