There no "coca" in Coca-Cola either and hasn't been for well over 100 years. They stopped putting cocaine in coca cola not long after its invention after they realised that far from being a harmless panacea cocaine was actually just a teeny bit addictive. They switched to caffeine and it's been the same ever since. They just never bothered changing the name. I think there is definitely a taste difference between Pepsi and coke though.
Cocaine isn't the only thing in coca. They still put other coca alkaloids in coca-cola, that is what gives it's unique flavour & makes Pepsi so disappointing.
