Crystal Pepsi was a clear cola marketed by Pepsi in 1993. It was supposed to have all the taste of Pepsi, but without any coloring at all. In reality, it supposedly tasted like flat 7-Up or Sprite. Since most consumers didn't seem to be fooled by it, it failed and Pepsi took it off the market. Source:

Ingredients for Pepsi:
carbonated water
high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar
caramel color
phosphoric acid
caffeine
citric acid
natural flavors
Ingredients for Coke:
carbonated water
high fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose
caramel color
phosphoric acid
natural flavors
caffeine
Based on the ingredients, Pepsi and Coke don't look too much different. Pepsi has citric acid where Coke doesn't and Pepsi has more flavoring than caffeine where Coke has it the other way around. Still, the first four ingredients are identical (sucrose is another name for sugar) so there's not a huge difference in product. How about nutritional info?
Nutrition Facts for Pepsi:
100 Calories
0g Total Fat
25mg Sodium
10mg Potassium
27g Total Carbohydrates
27g Sugars
0g Protein
25mg Caffeine

According to this, Pepsi has less sodium but more caffeine than Coke. So, the total differences between coke and Pepsi are (in terms of Pepsi):
presence of citric acid
more caffeine than flavoring
less sodium
more caffeine
So, if you like the taste of citrus or like caffeine, Pepsi would taste better. However, if you don't like citrus or you don't like caffeine, Coke would taste better.

1) Are tornados pre-ceded by any kind of color in the sky, or do they change the color of the sky in any way?
2) If the moon were to split evenly in two, but the crack would be so small that the two peices would be as close as they could be without actually being together, how would the moon react?
