It is true that the OJ has more calories, but you are still better off drinking it for a number of reasons:
1. the glycemic index rating of OJ is much lower than coke's index. this translates to a difference in the amount of insulin that is released when you ingest the product, and is directly proportional to the energy you gain, the effect you feel later (slump) and the amount that goes directly to fat cells.
2. OJ has VITAMINS! Gasp! Coke? ZILCH.
Regardless.. both of these drinks will leave you dead tired after the sugar wears off. I'd drink OJ over Coke, but water is by far the best choice.
