The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?

I'm personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.

Sugar-free Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

Irn Bru or dandelion & burdock.

Huge soda fan so picking just one is super hard but I'd say:

Oronamin C or Sweet Blossom's Rose soda

Oronamin C is a Japanese soft drink with a taste that is often described as "drinking (American) Smarties". It's incredibly refreshing and delicious. Sweet Blossom is I think an eastern European beverage company and they make a rose flavored soda that is to die for. It has far and away my favorite quality of carbonation (very fine, soft bubbles).

Other honorable mentions include Ocean Bomb: Sailor Mercury (i.e. pear flavor), and as a big fan of cherry colas, Bawls Guarana Cherry Cola and Fentiman's Cherry Tree Cola.

Green River... unless it's the Sprecher Red Apple but that's seasonal which makes me angry lol

The discontinued Hansen's Soda Lemon Mint Green Tea soda. I near bought the whole pallet when it showed up at an outlet grocery store over the course of a summer after college.

Fuck I sound old.

I prefer Pepsi over coke . But I really like jarritos pop other than the cola flavor . Also cream soda dr pepper is awesome.

Ale-8 for flavored sweet drink, sparkling mineral water for unsweetened.

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I used to love both Vanilla and Cherry Coke, but I can't stand cola flavors (any brand) ever since I got covid last year. So it's been mostly the cream soda flavor Dr. Pepper if I drink soda at home.

Canada Dry ginger ale I guess, good chaser for the rare whiskies I don't like neat. Honorary mention for Pommac, but I have not had it probably 10+ years

Colombiana or Ambassador!

It's so good you can mix it with beer (we call it Refajo)!

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Georgia makes the best soft drinks in the world in my opinion. My personal favourite is pear flavoured Natakhtari: https://natakhtari.com/lemonade

Also fun fact: Lemonade means soft drink in a lot of places in the world, I hear that's lemon flavoured water in the US.

I'm from India, Thums Up is my absolute favourite. Always loved it over coke and pepsi. During the 90's we'd a drink called goldspot, that was an amazing soft drink. It's sad coca cola company instead of continuing goldspot, launched fanta here instead, which honestly is a watered down version of the classic goldspot.

Manhattan Special Espresso soda.

Made in Brooklyn. Two shots of espresso in carbonated form.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Perrier carbonated water

It's subtly bubble and has a very mild flavor

Barqs Red Crème soda. IYKYK

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Doppelgänger by Maine Root. Real sugar, no caffeine. Similar taste to doctor pepper or pibb.

Mexicane diet. Caffeine, but no sugar or aspartame, similar taste to RC/Diet Pepsi.

[–] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Black Cherry Ginger Ale by Canada Dry

[–] trafalgar225@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I'm partial to Vanilla Coke, IBC Root Beer and Barq's in a bottle. I had a bottle of Mystic River Root Beer years ago and it still is my favorite. Finally fresh sasparilla yum. Oh an Birch Beer of any kind. I don't really drink soft drinks often, but those are my favs.
