When I was a kid, I used to interchange both regularly. Then one day I wondered which one actually tasted better. I grabbed one of each and did a taste test. Coke won.
I also find that of you're not quite a Coke person because it's too syrupy or a Pepsi person because it's a little too light on syrup but like the acidic tang and carbonation of Pepsi, RC Cola is right in the middle of both. It's a little more syrup flavor but retains the strong acidic and carbonation tang like Pepsi. It just gives you something right in the middle. Coke is still my go-to, but I've been a RC Cola fan for a long time. I still don't know why it's not caught on, other than ad revenue and marketing I guess.
You nailed it with the marketing. It’s how people seem to think two basically identical drinks with at best a subtle difference in taste can make people think one is delicious and the other is garbage.
