they taste somewhat similar, but i think there are some pretty major differences between them

coke is more acidic, pepsi has an oppressive sweetness to it, rc cola feels like a compromise between coke and pepsi, and jarritos cola has a very rich flavor but i've only had it once

that said, those differences might seem larger to me because i drink a lot of cola

dr. pepper is distinct from the colas and has a different flavor spectrum. i've never had dr. pepper and mr. pibb side by side so i have a hard time picturing the differences between the two of them, but they're definitely similar in the way that that the colas are similar. unlike colas, however, i haven't acquired the ability to distinguish between them

i think the question could extend not only to soft drinks, but to anything else

like to the soft drink connoisseur if there is one, of course all the different soft drinks would taste different, and to me they taste different, but at the same time they all do have similar properties (carbonated water, sugar, food coloring)

or how to some ppl all of shakespeare's plays are kinda the same b/c they share the same properties but then to ppl who study them they couldn't b any more different from each other

same goes w/sports or music or anything else

idk why i am typing all of this but i'm hungry and there's pizza in the oven

it's probably true that there are broader applications of the concept, yeah

our brain's have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit

xkcd is a lot more miss than hit

i like using stories to convey ideas even if they aren't xkcd

but a lot of people probably like using xkcd specifically to convey ideas

Commercial soft drinks don't have much variety but there are many handcrafted sodas and more expensive things that are amazing. I went to a vegan restaurant yesterday and they had very nice root beer.
