Don't work with coca cola, I would no be able to differentiate a Pepsi bottle with a Coca-Cola logo (note that I dislike every sodas :) ); the Coca-Cola is still powerful, perhaps it does not even need a product :)
This probably depends on how you define soda drinkers. My understanding is studies haven't shown that in general. I've failed a grocery store blind taste test myself. But I didn't prepare in any way.
Thats said, I have caught when something was not Dr Pepper, though I couldn't tell you what it was.
Fair point. Perhaps “soda drinkers who have a clear, established preference for one brand over another” (which is what I presume would lend value to that brand and what I had in mind, but definitely isn’t what I said).
I've done it (only single blind) and was right every time. Only people who can't distinguish I believe just never drank both beverages close to each other.
