Here in Chile Coke is still made with sugar. For my honeymoon I went to the US and found that the Coke over there was undrinkable. Since they're using HFCS the drink is much more bitter instead of sweet so I can understand why Pepsi does slightly better in the US. It made me kind if sad being a long time Coke fan.

Coke outsells Pepsi in most areas of the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi#Rivalry_with_Coca-Cola http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsi#Rivalry_with_Coca-Cola I think some people might have a misconception that Pepsi does better due to the very popular Pepsi Challenge marketing campaign. But if you think about it, that campaign is a classic "underdog" campaign. It would be silly for a product that's already winning in the number one position to "challenge" the number two product.

  The "Pepsi Challenge" was the brainchild of none other than erstwhile PepsiCo president John Sculley, who you mind remember for later running Apple into the ground.
