It goes:

Pepsi
Diet Pepsi
Pepsi Max
Coke
Coke Zero
. . . Diet Coke
. . . . . Crystal Pepsi ๐Ÿ˜ญ

They're right though, Pepsi is not god damn "okay". Pepsi is great. (though I'll drink any of my top 5 interchangeably, except for the sugar, and I only have any of them as a treat now after years of drinking way too much.)

If diet Pepsi is your #2, your taste buds are broken.

Diet Pepsi tastes much more like Pepsi compared to Diet Coke/Coke. Pepsi Max could easily be second though depending on my mood.

I've convinced people with blind taste tests, but not much I can do over the internet.

Coke is too sweet and makes my teeth feel weird which is why most of the Pepsi products go above the Cokes.

I don't think Diet Coke was ever meant to taste like Coke. My conspiracy theory is when New Coke bombed, they rebranded it as Diet Coke when they brought back "classic Coke." I just prefer the flavor of diet coke.
