It’s definitely still true in Central Europe

Or how people tend to prefer Pepsi in blind tests (I think it’s sweeter or something, if i remember correctly) but overwhelmingly chose CocaCola if given the choice.

It’s a fun story, however I also found it really interesting after learning German that this is really overblown outside of Germany.

I once tried to reference it with German friends and they didn’t even understand why it was supposed to be funny!
