Pepsi has a fractionally different recipe from Coca-Cola, using citric acid in addition to phosphoric acid, which gives it a slightly different flavour profile — broadly described as sweeter and less tart at room temperature. In formal blind taste tests (including the Pepsi Challenge from 1975), Pepsi frequently scores higher for a single sip, while Coke tends to score higher over a full can, a well-documented phenomenon in sensory research.
