Favorite Soft Drink

[flackbait]

Although I have such a hard time finding it I always have seemed to like mister pibb. Although I think my next favorite would be any type of root beer.

I want Tizer-Ice back!

I would say cola in general, since I'll drink whatever is available, and even enjoy store brands, but I would specifically say Pepsi is my number-one brand. Used to be a loyal Coke drinker, but I just find it doesn't taste as good as it used to.

I go through about two cases (24 cans) a week.

That few, huh?

I can knock out a case (24) in a day.


My favorite is Diet Mountain Dew, of sorts.

I usually try to buy store brands to save money and often end up buying Kroger's version, Diet Citrus Drop.

My very favorite though, even more than Diet Mountain Dew itself, is Meijer's store brand copy of it, Diet Rocky Mist; I'll drink even more in a day if I have that.


My tastes today are quite different than when I was a kid. As a kid, I loved root beer (can't stand the damn stuff today). I also liked Upper 10; similar to Sprite/7up. I can't stand Sprite/7up drinks today; just too damn sweet.


We have a local ginger ale in Winchester: Ale81. Good lord I can't stand that stuff. Ginger ale is bad enough, but this stuff will eat paint off of a car. We call it Winchester Swamp Water.


I do miss glass bottles; though it is easier to carry a 12 pack of cans with you.


Okay, the part that grosses out everyone who sees me drink a soft drink: I keep them at room temperature. I got used to that years ago when I worked security and had no place to keep soft drinks cold. They keep their fizz longer that way anyway.

I learned a nifty trick from an old hillbilly at work....put peanuts in yer cola. It's actually quite good!

Shelled or unshelled?

Okay, the idea reminds me too much of boiled peanuts, and I can't stand to even look at that stuff.

You just drop a handfull in yer pop bottle...and you eat the peanuts as you drink yer soda pop....I was skeptical at first as well...but it IS good...really! Never tried boiled peanuts...sounds weird to me as well.

I guess I'm a old hillybilly, I've been doing that since I was a kid.


Peanuts and Dr. Pepper are best, however only in the glass bottles preferably the 10 oz. size with 2 oz bag of peanuts. When I was a kid you could get both the 10 oz DP and 2 oz bag of Planters Roasted for less than a 25 cents.

It's apparently a Southern thing that is especially rampant in Florida. When I went to Florida one August, you couldn't avoid the road signs from shop or roadside vendors selling them.

I was on a Mountain Dew kick a while back, but it seems my overall favorite usually tends to be A&W Vanilla Cream Soda.

[JaseSF]

Since I was a little kid, Orange Crush has been my favourite. I like it diet (sweetened with Splenda) or regular. I also like Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi but that's full of aspartame. I also like CPlus but less so.



Wish I could get it in glass bottles around here. Agree that the flavor in bottles is better. Haven't seen it in glass bottles in years.

[HappyGilmore]

Mountain Dew, especially since they've introduced some of the somewhat newer flavors to it, like the Orange "LiveWire" Mt. Dew, plus the three new ones you can vote for, the BlueBerry etc, ones they have.  Good stuff.

[JJ80]

I only drink diet sodas, especially Coke, Pepsi and local Irn-Bru. They must also be bone-freezingly cold as I find that they taste better that way. Actually, like Shadow I prefer a can of diet cola first thing in the morning to coffee or tea.

[Saucerman]

Dr. Pepper for general drinking.

Mountain Dew during an RPG session with my friends.  I'm so freaking p*ssed that they took Mountain Dew Game Fuel off the market.  It tasted like drinking gummi bears and was an acknowledgement of who Mountain Dew's true consumer base was.  Now I drink Live Wire or Regular. 

Bawls if I need to pull an all-nighter.  Actually, I haven't had Bawls since March 4th, 2008 -- we held an all-night RPG session and  vigil when Gary Gygax passed from the Material Plane.
