Both Coke and Pepsi have been adjusting their recipes to be closer to each other's over the years. The main difference is Coke uses only lemon while Pepsi uses both lemon and orange. Both have lowered the amount of cola flavor they use and upped the amount of cinnamon and I forget either cardamom or coriander.
If you want a cola that tastes like colas used to taste like, go with RC Cola, they haven't changed their recipe at all.
Crystal Pepsi uses the Pepsi formula from the 90s, every so often they do limited production runs, try it, you'll taste the difference right away.
You know they sell "Pepsi with real sugar" along side regular Pepsi in the USA. Same for Mountain Dew with real sugar. They cost the exact same as regular Pepsi and regular Mountain Dew.
But sugar is inferior to HFCS for drinks. Real sugar isn't as soluble so its grainy in comparison with HFCS, especially when you drink it at 34 degrees F which is the ideal drinking temperature. The only people that drink the real sugar versions are fools that think it's healthier and Dinosaurs nostalging.
Trust me, I'm a Mountain Dew connoisseur.
