Coke and Pepsi may be similar, but they are not the same product made in the same factory.

Who are they getting to do these blind tests? Coke, Pepsi, and RC cola have distinct flavors -- the generics do too, although I don't have enough experience to identify them. Cans, bottles, and fountains don't taste the same either. Branding and affinity certainly influence which vendor is preferred, but the drinks are not the same.
