I rarely drink soda, favoring milk, Arizona brand tea, and Sobe Life Water/Snapple Antioxidant Water/Glaceau Vitamin Water, but when I do drink soda, I'm definitely a Coke guy.  Anything diet is for Nazis.

No, that's Big Red cigs.   :wink:

Actually, I think it was Red Apple cigarettes.

Ash is 100% correct, it was Red Apple cigs. 

I don't recall if they made an appearance in Reservoir Dogs but I know for a fact that they have been in all of his films from Pulp Fiction on.  I recall Bruce Willis buying a pack at the bar when he meets with Marcellus Wallace in Pulp.

You mean Red Apple cigs.    :bouncegiggle:

They also made an appearance in Kill Bill Vol. 1.

Goya is in Wal-Mart and the Southern Family Market chain (IIRC) around here. Never tried any of them.

I think Big Red was sold around here when I was a kid but I could be wrong.

Like I said earlier, used to drink a lot of Cokes/sodas, but have weened down to very few. I drink iced tea still, unsweetened when I eat out. I switched to decaff at home, and am cutting down the amount of sugar I put in it. may go cold turkey on the sugar in it at the new year.

I used to love Vanilla Coke, but I don't drink soft drink any more.

Now my vice is coffee, but freshly brewed.  I buy the beans from Starbucks, grind them at home and into a coffee plunger they go!

When I lived in Canada a few years ago, I loved Cherry Coke and they had Coke that had a bluish tinge to it which I think was blueberry (?).  Unfortunately, we don't have any of that stuff in Australia.  If we didn't I'd probably go back to drinking it.

Of the major brands, I prefer Mountain Dew, Pepsi, and once in a while Coke.

My job though, is in a restaurant with over 100 different types of soda, many pure cane types too.  It ranges from the major types to our own brands of soda.  So someone could waltz in and order a cherry chocolate soda, made with cherry and chocolate.  Or they could go the opposite direction and order a chocolate milkshake, only substitute the milk for Coke and have a chocolate coke shake.  Good stuff.

Same as everyone else I'd be better off not drinking soda, but I love the stuff too much, unfortunately.  My all-time favorite would be Coke. 

Recently I've become a fan of Vernors, but I can only find it at one particular Kroger near where I live.  Ale 8 One is another fine ginger ale and a local favorite, but Vernors kicks its ass I'd say.

One of my best friends introduced me to Cheerwine a number of years ago and it's a wonderful cherry flavored soda.  His grandmother lives in North Carolina where it's made and he'd usually come back with a stockpile of it after visiting her.  For a while I could find it locally at Wal-Mart and a couple of convenience stores, but noone seems to carry it anymore.  :(

I haven't had Sun Drop in many years, but I remember during my elementary school years that I drank some one night and it kept me up until 3am.

Pilgermann,

I'm from NC and didn't realize that Cheerwine was a local soda.  I love the stuff, especially did as a kid.  Haven't had one in a long time.  Might have to hit up the grocery store tonight and pick up a 2 liter.

I have to drive to TN to get Cheerwine here, but that's only about 10 miles to the store. The local distributor doesn't come into KY and very few places carry it even in western TN. Good stuff.

Well here is a drink that for some reason is marketed mainly in KY and TX, it's made in TX and I rarely ever see it or here of it anywhere other than KY or TX. As far as I know.



We've had it here in Michigan for a looong time. It costs 89 cents...just like RC Cola. In fact...I'm drinking one now!  :smile:

Cheerwine! However, they don't like "Yankees taking all the Cheerwine up North, or so their news correspondences will tell you (I know it's a joke) I generally only have access to this golden elixir when I'm down south or if I order a case, though, so typically Mug Root Beer or Jamaican Cream:

Up here Irn Bru is almost an alternative national drink. It's like an orange coloured (but not flavoured) soda which I think is supposed to resemble molten metal.

I looked up Irn Bru and it sounds interesting, and apparently some US companies import it but the FDA lists it as a banned substance 'cause of carcinogenic coloring.  Booooo

Has anyone had Blenheim ginger ale?  I really want to try the stuff.  It sounds painful.
