What is your favourite soft drink?

Ever since I was a kid one of my favourite things to do is to relax in a nice comfy chair with a video games magazine (printed) and an ice cold soft drink.


Some of my fave soft drinks are:

Bundaberg Root Beer
Imported from Austrailia this is only available in the UK at a posh super store called Waitrose, there's none near where I live so when I'm vistiting a city that has one I stock up on a load of bottles.

Fentimans Curiosity Cola

Levi Roots Coconut Cooler
I'm often trying out new drinks and gave this Coconut Cooler a go recently and liked it.
Couldn't find a usuable size image of it by itself.

I drink more diet Mt. Dew than anything else, but I like just about anything that's not a plain cola.

I can't drink soft drinks, or anything carbonated in general.  The carbonation makes me want to throw up every time.

I've quit drinking regular soda.

With that said I had a terrible Mountain Dew addiction for years.

I have one regular soft drink with dinner and it's Pepsi.

Due to diabetes,  I have a Diet Coke any other time.

I was a huge Pepsi drinker, loved the stuff - as well as other sodas, ginger ale, and so on.  I recently quit cold turkey though, for health reasons.  I have diabetics on both sides of my family, and I'm getting up there in years now as much as it pains me to admit it.  So I'm slowly transitioning over to a more "adult" diet that I probably should have started years ago.  I haven't had any of it for a few months now, and I've been feeling more energetic at least.  Now my drink of choice is iced tea (unsweet, I hate the taste of sweet tea) with lemon or lemonade in it if I indulge a little (Half & Half aka Arnold Palmer.)  Speaking of healthy choices, Chic-Fil-A (I kid, I kid) makes a pretty good lite arnold palmer with unsweet tea and the light lemonade there.  No idea how much sugar or sucralose or aspartame or what is in it, but it's gotta be a healthier choice than the constant stream of Pepsi I was drinking.

I used to drink soda all the time but not so much these days.  I occasionally pick up Mexican Coca-cola or Sprite at the grocery store though.  I like sweetener from sugarcane way more than the fructose corn syrup.

I pretty much only drink tea or juice myself.  If I'm at home it's normally milk though, what they charge for a glass of milk in a restaurant is nuts, and it's rarely skim so I'd rather just have something else.

I don't really drink that much soda.  I used to drink a metric shit-ton of Powerade Zero, but I started making my own low-calorie "sports" drink using Kool-Aid, Splenda, and some "light" salt (has other minerals besides sodium).  When I eat out, I generally drink diet coke, unless the place has one of those fancy soda machines with the touch-screen.  Those generally have every soda under the sun (made by either Coke or Pepsi), in which case it usually has other zero-calorie options like Diet Dr. Pepper, flavored Diet Coke, or even Diet Fanta or Diet Mello Yello.

Edit: Hey Yohan, you can probably change your sig now.

I am not much of a soft drink person, but I certainly enjoy a good rootbeer or cream soda.  :)

I used to drink a ton of cream soda.  Sometimes I'd make a ghetto Dreamcicle soda by using half cream soda and half orange soda.

It used to be Coke Zero.

But I've cut back on my soda consumption lately.  Now it's usually flavored waters or green tea.

To elaborate more now that I'm in a computer, I just love Guaraná Antártica, shame that there isn't anything like that in the US. It is a guarana flavored soda, and it is great! The Coca Cola company has something called Kuat that's close but I don't think they sell it outside Brazil.

If you're feeling rich I'm sure you could buy some overpriced cans off of amazon. I highly recommend it if you can find it.

I prefer old fashioned cream soda but it's never found in restaurants and rarely found in stores so I get whenever I can.  Second choice is Mountain Dew (regular or Baja Blast)

In the past I would have had no trouble chugging down then entire 2 liter bottle in a few hours but these days I've pretty much cut back to just once in a while.  I don't have health issue but my family has diabetes history.  These days I drink mostly real juices (not the water down shit loaded with sugar, 100% pure from fruits)

Trying to watch the figure so instead of a soft drink I drinks Perrier.. (( high class look, finishes wine)) The fucking bubbles and the different favours make it like a soft drink with out the calories! :P

I do not mind a Coke Zero from time to time.

I rarely drink soda anymore, gotta watch my girlish figure!  Seriously though, I cut way back, drink lots of water, sometimes lemonade, & of coarse, I drink coffee to wake me up each day.  I have some soda at home, but I go thru it very slowly.  This is what I love

Mountain Dew(prefer the corn syrup), Pepsi(prefer the cane sugar), Sunkist, Cactus Cooler, Dr. Pepper, Sprite.

I do find that I enjoy Mountain Dew & Pepsi with Mexican food, as if it were a choice wine!

Root Beer!

The best root beer I've ever had is Sprecher Root Beer. It's kinda pricey online though.

I love ginger ales/beers.  My favorites so far are Blenheim, which is basically carbonated mineral water with ginger juice & sugar, and it has a lovely spice to it...but my all-time favorite is Sioux City ginger beer, which tastes like a carbonated ginger snap.  I've only ever had it once, wish I could find it again...

Root Beer or Lemonade. I rarely have soft drinks but both of those are preeeeetty good.

Went to World Market last weekend with my wife. I'm not a big soda drinker but I like trying interesting flavors. Anyway, picked up this sampler on sale.

http://www.orcabeverage.com/samplepacks/750wide/TailgateAmericana10Pack.png

I am really impressed with the bold flavors. All are sweeter than typical varieties, even the root beer. The flavor not shown on the box is a Ginger Ale. Personally, I don't like the Ginger Ale because it's too spicy for me. The other four are great, though.

For me if I do drink soday (which is rare) it's a coke or sprite.  However a favorite of mine would have to be this:

That reminds me of the bacon soda my nephew had.  It was predictably terrible, like drinking carbonated bacon grease.

I'm the same, except for Perrier I just buy the much, much cheaper Trader Joe's carbonated water, and I strictly avoid the flavors (just don't find them good). I know some mineral water is supposed to be better, but honestly, I don't prefer them either. Pelegrino just doesn't have the spark (no pun intended) that regular seltzer has.

I once wanted to make my own seltzer, but it seems like it's a whole lot of work for individual use.
