      Did you say “bitter”? Coca-Cola? With 15% sugar content? Did you mean to ask if there are any bitterness undertones in addition to sweetness or…?

          Then, no. I can’t say Coca-Cola or Pepsi ever tasted bitter to me. The sweetness is for sure the dominant flavor. Followed by, maybe sourness.

      It has plants in it that make it taste bitter. Coke’s bitterness compared to Pepsi is why bars use Coke over Pepsi for mixed drinks.

      Since I got covid last year, I haven’t been able to drink any brand of cola. It has a weird gross flavor that I guess could be described as being bitter. I would never have described it as bitter before and I think most people wouldn’t either.
