Apparently Pepsi tastes better warm. I read somewhere that its due to them trying to appeal to countries without good access to refrigeration. Not sure if its true or not. But room temp pepsi does taste better to me than room temp coke.

I'd strongly disagree. Pepsi tastes worse in every scenario.

But I think the real difference between the two is that Pepsi is sweeter. So whether someone likes one or the other depends strongly on their tolerance for how sweet each one is.

As for temperature, it's worth noting that temperature affects sweetness. The taste receptors of your tongue will sense sweetness more strongly the warmer it is (and vice-versa). Room temperature soda is sweeter than cold soda in general, regardless of brand. So if you like room temperature soda, you generally prefer sweeter soda, which might be part of the reason why Pepsi appeals to you more than Coke.
