I'd be very surprised if you did fail - I'd put it down to your
having a cold, or somesuch.

Actually if you take a mouthful of Coke after a mouthful of Pepsi it
won't taste that great - because Pepsi contains more sugar. Which is why
the "Pepsi Challenge" was fatally flawed. Everyone ended up picking
Pepsi because of the sugar factor.

However, when drunk in isolation, Coke tastes better, as Pepsi has too
much sugar in it.

And for an extreme example of this, take a swig of beer after a mouthful
of Coke (or Pepsi, or whatever they're serving), it'll taste foul. Does
that mean you don't like beer?

As ever, Richards misses the point of the Pepsi challenge - you *can*
tell the difference, because there *is* one. This does not apply to
cables.
