What was the greatest soda you ever had?


What are your choice brands?

Dr. Pepper is okay for a casual coke. I used to like Sprite, got tired of it. Premium Selection makes a damn fine Blood Orange soda.

Do you buy in with the cane sugar crowd?

I think they taste best, really. But they're not generally cheap or easy to find.

What was the greatest soda you ever had?

Royal Crown Cola Draft. I HATE RC cola. But this tasted great. I really ought to buy some somewhere. It's nostalgic for me really. I used to buy them out of a cooler with a snickers bar and walk to my special valley where I couldn't hear a car or anything and eat and drink. I miss them. *sniff*


Any other cola fans?

What are your choice brands?

My usual choice is Aldis Cola as it's $1 for two litres whereas all the other soft drinks tend to be somewhat higher in price. I'll drink most soft drinks though and am known to crave Mountain Dew once in a while.

Do you buy in with the cane sugar crowd?

I honestly didn't know there was a cane sugar crowd. As far as I've known soft drinks are soft drinks, and while I like them, I'd always pick a nice beer or most other alcoholic beverages over them.

What was the greatest soda you ever had?

If Cola and rum counts, probably one of those mixed by myself using Coruba Rum and Pepsi. Other colas work too, but don't go together quite so well. Oh and I tend to like the coke with lemon or lime that sometimes come out. Apart from that... None have really stood out too much. They're all good, there just wasn't really a greater one...

What are your choice brands?

Depends on my mood. Usually I just go with basic Coke. But Moutain Dew and Dr Pepper are good. If im drinking its always Sprite though. My usual drink is vodka and Sprite as beer doesnt agree with my stomach very well.

Do you buy in with the cane sugar crowd?

Not sure I know what is meant here being from Finland and all. Could someone fill me in?

What was the greatest soda you ever had?

I dunno. I guess some random Coca cola with lemon somewhere. Although if energy drinks count in the soda category some Red Bull when I was on a 28km hike with 60 kilos in my pack was the best drink ever. It boosted my energy so much as that hike was utterly exhausting.

Well, mainstream stuff, like Coke and Sprite don't use real cane sugar. Soda with cane sugar is said to be the better Soda.

I don't suppose it's fermented sugar cane that's used?
Cos if it is, they're probably that drunk it seems magical.
But regardless, I'd honestly never heard of this. I'll have to see if any places sell sugar cane cola...

Might be a new companion for rum when I'm a little less spendworthy.

Tesco Coke, ASDA Coke, Aldis Coke, basically all the cheap ones. In my opinion, they're nicer than the big name brands. They're more Cola than coke, but still. A lot better in taste, in my opinion. Which is great, because you get a bargain both ways/

I'm not really a big fan of much other brands, like Lucozade (sp?) and Sprite, etc. I'm a coke addict. Has to be coke. (And no, not the drug. I'm not a crackhead).

Cane Sugar? Sorry, hun. Not sure what that is. Mainstream stuff? So basically big name brands. Is it that they use Cane Sugar, and the cheaper brands don't? ...So if I buy the cheap stuff, that means I get better taste, I save money, and I don't need to know what Cane Sugar is. ...Bargains just keep getting better

What are your choice brands?

There has been only one brand to stand out from the crowd over all the years that I've been drinking soda. I'm trying to eliminate my soda drinking altogether with the exception of this one brand. If you have never tried anything from Jones Soda then you have never truly had a good soda.

Do you buy in with the cane sugar crowd?

Effing yes I do! Jones Soda is made with Pure Cane Sugar and it puts those mainstream brands to shame. You can actually find Jones Soda at your local Wal-Mart or Target. Pay the little extra and get it, you will not be disappointed. I've been a fan for almost 8 years now.

What was the greatest soda you ever had?

Green Apple Jones Soda, no contest. Berry Lemonade is damn good too. I am yet to find a Jones I do not like, even the surprisingly awesome Kiwi turned out!

I used to drink Dr. P like a mobster. Then root beer was available, and that occured on numerous occasions. It IS my favorite, after all. Especially when it's a float, which is just the best kind of sodie you can have...

Hmm. Sadly I can't drink soda anymore (it makes me pee blood)...I do every now and then, but it can't have caffiene in it and I can't even finish a can nowadays.

So I drink tea. And water. No caffiene, no sugar, none of that imposter stuff they give off as tea that's more sugar water than anything. Soda is so BAD for you...

I've seen them at the stores and have always wanted to try them. In fact, I admit, I kind of put this thread out here to see if they came up and in what light.

I thought about buying the cream soda because I've always enjoyed a cream soda.

I don't drink sodas continuously so I'm usually more of a snob about them when I do. But seeing you like them so much, I'll have to buy some. You say green apple?

GODDAMN THEY HAVE A GOOD CREAM SODA. Try it, you will love yourself and your soda long time.

Questions...

What are your choice brands?
Don't drink soda much... at all. But if I do, uh... Ginger ale, most likely. Dr. Pepper is good. So is Jones. And whoever's root beer, I don't care. Sprite.

OH. Oh oh oh! Cheerwine. I can only get it on the east coast, but it's really tasty. And Ale 8 1. Daniel gets it from Ohio once a year, and I always get a few sips. It's another one of my favorites.

Do you buy in with the cane sugar crowd?
Cane sugar is delicious. If you give me a soda with cane sugar, I will probably drink it. Give me one now, I will show you.

What was the greatest soda you ever had?
My fondest soda memories involve getting Red Cream Soda from the vending machine when I was a little girl at the neighborhood pool. We would swim, Dad would give us each a dollar, and we would come back with red mouths. It tasted so good on a hot day by the pool.

Big Red, right? What do you think I drank before they came out with the RC cola Draft? I loved Big Red! Of course all the red 40 prolly will give me progressive cancer in later years. ><

It's because of Big Red I became such a cream soda fan. So now I'm definitely going to have to try Jones' Cream Soda.

[Unknown Entity]

What are your choice brands?

Hmm, I like DG Jamaica Cream Soda, Coke, Sprite and Fanta (though Fanta tends to make me feel really ill these days - loved it when I was a little kid though).

Do you buy in with the cane sugar crowd?

I still don't get whatcha mean by cane sugar - sounds to sickly to me if thats what you mean... Is it stuff like Red Bull and Lucozade? Yep, a little too sickly, although Relentless is pretty good and REALLY wakes you up when you feel tired. Could have done with one today...

What was the greatest soda you ever had?

I really like Relentless, but it makes you feel sick, and you wouldn't wanna drink it all the time - it'd make you really sick. I'll go with DG Jamacia Cream Soda - its good stuff, though doesn't last that long...

[Mr Spike]

What are your choice brands?

Usually drink Fanta - not too fizzy, which hurts my teeth major. But most of the time it's with something - vodka or other spirits that you just can't drink on their own....

Do you buy in w
