The latter in "Coke or Pepsi" would be Pepsi...It is the last choice...while the former is the first one mentioned(think of fore as in before)

In your example the latter would be the last one offered which is Pepsi.

former- first option
latter- last option
In reference to your question I prefer the latter to the former- I prefer pepsi (the last option) over Coke (the first option)...

The latter means the first answer. So in that example the answer would be coke. Hope that helps!
