Have you done a blind test before? A group of friends and I have done a blind test of around 10 coke brands before. The only ones you could reasonably tell apart were Pepsi and some dubious organic cokes. But of all the ones that actually try to replicate the coca cola flavour it was just pure guesswork on our side.

I did a blind taste test of Starry, Sprite, and 7-Up the other day. My wife was amused when I nailed all three. As a recovering fat guy, I’m a bit of a soft drink connoisseur (diet soda now!).

Unfortunately then the question became “well, which do you prefer?” And my answer was “I have no idea”.

I've never had any that specifically tried to replicate another brand, no. That's naturally going to be harder than telling apart normal colas.
