The evolving US refreshment beverage market enlarged by 2.8% in 2006, according to Beverage Marketing Corporation. Americans have extended their beverage repertoire, and leading brands in the market now includes carbonated soft drinks, sports beverages, bottled water, ready-to-drink tea and coffee, fruit beverages and energy drinks. Big companies dominate the leading refreshment beverage trademarks; Pepsi-Cola (with five brands), Coca-Cola (with four) and Cadbury Schweppes’ Dr Pepper/Seven-Up (with one) account for all of the top-ten trademarks. The same companies also rank as the top three in US refreshment sales. Pepsi led the list with nearly $9.6 bln in estimated revenues in 2006. Coca-Cola followed with $7 bln. Cadbury Schweppes’ US beverage business generated $4.5 bln. Aquafina, Gatorade and Tropicana (all from Pepsi) and Dasani (from Coke) were the fastest growing leading trademarks, as they had been in the previous year as well. The Coca-Cola trademark (including all brand variations) held the top spot among liquid refreshment beverages. However, its volume, like the standard carbonated soft drink market as a whole, declined.

Both equally. But I perfer MD when I'm in the mood for a citrus-like taste.
Coca-cola, its better for you then compared to Mountain Dew, but they're both pretty unhealthy lol
I do the Dew, about 1 can a week. Milk, water, and orange juice the rest of the time.
mountain dew
They are both bad for you. Coke has too much acidity, you can clean your car battery posts with it. And Mountain Dew has more caffene then most sodas. Better to drink 7up, Sprite, or something like that.....they are caffene free.
Actually I prefer Dr. Pepper, hot w/lemon in the winter..MMM.
depends... sometimes i like a dark soda sometimes i like a yellow one...lol.. I actually perfer pepsi over both.. but m.d. is all good
Mountain Dew
I prefer Coke Classic to Mountain Dew - regular Dew is just too sweet.
