soda of choice?

Sign in to disble this ad
im a sort of soda connoisseur. i dont drink alcohol of any sorts, so the time spent finding ones favorite beer, liquor or wine was spent finding my favorite sodas.

personally, i like sprite, orange crush and mr pibb, as well as aldi brand knock offs of all 3 of those. ill only drink root beer if it came from a glass bottle.

so please, share with me your soda's of choice

note: diet was not included because 1. diet soda is stupid (if you're on a diet.. drink water), 2. diet soda is gross and causes holes in your brain

I'm not a big fan of sodas as they usually contain enormous amounts of sugar, so I voted for bacon.

Anyway, when I pick up a soda it's mostly a light cola.

I respectfully disagree. I'm a Coke addict (the soda, of course) and five years ago I switched to Coke Light when entered a (successful) diet. I hated it in the beginning, but in the end I got so used to it that now the regular Coke is the one that tastes weird to me. Switched again to Coke Zero as soon as it was released in my country and have no plans to return to regular Coke (and I'm not on a diet anymore).

I also must say that the best non-black soda to me has always been Fanta. Unfortunately it is not available anymore in my country. Crush is the brand that supposedly replaced it and it is my current favorite non-black soda, but it's still way below Fanta.

if i drink diet soda, all i can taste is aspertame, and that stuff makes me sick to my stomach. but i understand.

i find that orange soda is like wine. everyone has a specific favorite, and the differences are all about nuance. fanta, crush, sunkist, as well as all the store brands out there. they are all just a little different.

sorry there, but I can't drink any soda with sugar, my ideal is diet coke, and no, I'm not on a diet, it just tastes better.

I voted cola -

Mexican Coke

It's imported and available in the "Mexican" section at my local grocery store.

The key is the sugar. It's cane sugar, not corn syrup.

Try it, you'll like it!

Ah, yes. I'm old enough to remember when the U.S. Coca-Cola was made with cane sugar as well. I do miss it.

(Voted cola also.)

I rarely drink soda - we call it pop around here. When I do, it's Coke - fountain only. No cans or bottles. Usually at a gig or with a Jimmy John's sandwich.
