@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

No comment.... wait, 'no comment' is a comment.  Shit, now what do I do?  I'm so confused and now I'm mad, so screw you, turbo D!  You left my cola of choice, Crystal Pepsi, off the list, so I had to chose 'other cheapo cola', even though it's out of production and no longer cheap.  Lucky for me, there's enough cases stockpiled in my basement to quench my thirst until it either goes back into production or armageddon, whichever comes first.

You've never seen a taste like this:

I want to amend my vote to include fried Coke.  It sure sounds like a tasty, heart healthy snack to me, so even though I haven't tried it yet, I'm sure that I would prefer it to fried dung beetles.  What will those crazy Texans think up next?

My votes explained:

other cheapo Cola - On the rare occasion that I buy a soda, I'm limited to the ones that are Kosher. The Safeway brand is Kosher, and that's about it.

I missed the skool bus - The one street linking my apartment building to civilization is closed today for resurfacing, so I couldn't go to school. I drive myself, and I don't actually ride a school bus, but I figured I had the right to make this vote.

this poll sux - This poll kinda sux because none of the brands listed are Kosher, as far as I know, but at least you gave us lots of leeway with our choices.

TurboGrafx-16 rules dude! - I enjoy TurboGrafx-16 much more than any Cola, so thanks for throwing in this choice!

Kitsunexus

Here's why I voted what I did:

Coca Cola Classic - I'm from America, so I HAVE TO LIKE IT!  :P Seriously, there is no better movie theater drink than Coca Cola.

this poll sux - No Vault, no Mountain Dew, and worst of all NO DR. PEPPER! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIST DR. PEPPER, THE NECTAR OF THE GODS, AS A CHOICE? Just for that, I should have voted "Screw you Turbo D" but you're cool, so I'll let it slide this time.

More options have been added to the poll by popular demand. Vote changes are allowed and you get a jack load of options. Now we'll see who is the real king of Cola  8)

My dad's girlfriend is from Chicago, and she always uses the term "pop"

Personally I've always hated using a generic word and have always done my best to identify my beverage of choice by name.

nat

Anyone who doesn't use the term "pop" is clearly inferior.

OldRover

Pepsi, generally, since that's what Church's Chicken sells, and we eat there a whole lot. I'll drink either, really. But I'm originally from New England, and we call it "soda", though I've heard people refer to it as "soda pop" on occasion.

I prefer regular Coca-Cola over regular Pepsi, but I prefer Caffeine Free Pepsi over Caffeine Free (or probably even regular) Coke.

But as everyone knows around here, I prefer Super Chill over them all!

Thankfully no one has voted for Jolt, because that headache-inducing shit tastes like Coke mixed with aspirin (a few of my friends actually thought there might have been real cocaine in it after they started getting hyper and had a bad headache the next day).

I prefer RC Cola over all.  But between Coke & Pepsi I have to go with Coke.. it mixes and tastes in drinks.

I realized I missed Faygo.. meant to throw in a vote for them too.  Faygo isn't the greatest, but I do enjoy
the looks that people give me when I walk around with one in my hand.  8)

Do you guys know Spezi? It's a mix between Coke and Fanta or something and was considered the uber soda when I was a kid. I haven't seen it around nowadays though.

My vote recount explained:

I don't drink soda ~ Ok, I really try no avoid soda altogether. Every once in a while though, I'll have one.

TurboGrafx-16 rules dude! ~  =D> I never had one as a kid!

kosher brands only dude ~ This is a must for me. While I try to stay away from soda generally, I will absolutely refuse to drink a non-kosher soda.

safeway ~ Safeway's cola is Kosher, so it makes the cut. Back around 8th and 9th grade I remember safeway cola and french bread being staples at a friends house, so there is some sentimental value as well.

guyjin

How could you make cola unkosher? does regular cola contain pig bits or something?  :shock:

Guyjin, I don't know the answer to your question, but I found some info about special Kosher for Passover Coca Cola here

It's made with sugar instead of corn syrup, which may help with the passover aspect.

Pork products may be used somewhere in the refining process for regular coca cola... I really don't know. Unless there's some Kosher certification on it, I won't drink it.

Turbo D

Sams club has coke imported from mexico where it is made with sugar and bottled in glass bottles. I usually get those because I prefer the taste of real sugar over highfructose corn syrup. I don't mind high fructose corn syrup as much if its in a fountain drink though.

Diet sodas are a lot worse for you health-wise than regular soda. You shouldn't really drink either, but if you have to drink soda, drink regular soda. The artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas are very VERY bad for you and, especially if you're a diabetic, do far more harm than good. Unless that diet soda is sweetened with stevia (you'll never find this normally in the USA but I hear it's pretty common in Japan), drop it and run away from it.
