Yes. Coke, out of all the sodas on the market, has the most complex taste profile. There are over 200 different flavor compounds present in Coca-Cola. Pepsi doesn't have nearly as many (though I still drink it), and don't even get me started on the store brands.
I'm not particularly picky when it comes to caffeinated cola product--my requirements are that it be cold and tasty. Just so happens Coke is the most tasty. But between Coke and Pepsi, I'll pick whatever's on sale.
My only real brand loyalty is to Volvo cars and Colgate toothpaste--because I grew up using both (I still drive an 89 Volvo 240). In all the time that we've had my car (parents are original owners) we've never had to have any major maintenance or repair, and the car has only broken down once (right after I started driving it, too). Even then it turned out to be a simple and easily repaired problem. Despite being 16 years old that car is super-reliable, easy to drive, and gets great gas mileage (about 24 around town and 29 on the hwy). My parents currently own four Volvos--my 240, a 940 wagon, a 960 wagon, and a 960 sedan (89, 94, 95, and 96 respectively). As for the toothpaste--again, something I grew up with. I tried other toothpastes once I was out of my parents' house, but ended up switching back to Colgate because of the taste. Reminds me of being a little kid again sometimes when I use the Original Colgate. Ah, memories.
