Soda is bad for you. Drink water instead.

Sprite. For some reason, it gives me refreshment like most pops don't. Even Coca-Cola doesn't.

Have you ever had an ice cream float? Cola or root beer soda go well in them.

Long ago, we looked upon a foreboding sky. The memory of the star that threatened all burns eternal in our hearts. In its wake came an age of silence. Yet with each fond remembrance, we knew those encountered were not forgotten, that some day we would see them again. Perhaps it was no more than wishful thinking. But after the long calm, there are the beginnings of a stir. The reunion at hand may bring joy, it may bring fear, but let us embrace whatever it brings. For they are coming back. At last the promise has been made.

I just recently tried this for the first time. Meh, it's like bubblegum citrus. It's ok but I won't buy it again.
I have also recently decided to stop drinking pop daily. I used to have at least a can a day, up to maybe 3 sometimes. I was always really gassy and it's just way too much sugar. So now I've replaced it with chocolate milk, I still have the occasional one though if I eat out or something.
My favourite pop is Coke though, with Root Beer coming in close second.

Unfortunately, chocolate milk makes me gassy. I can drink regular milk just fine though.

Apparently it's like Scotland's national drink or something, I did a quick wikipedia search before buying in the grorcery store lol.

We don't really have it widely available up in Canada either, but some grocery stores like to import weird stuff.
I think it might be a good drink for mixing liquor, but I don't really drink much. I can't see myself enjoying it with any foods, it's too candy like, but not in that amazing Tahiti Treat way. It literally tastes like bubblegum with a hint of orange to it, it's fucking weird lol.

As Nymphae said it’s Scottish. Scotland is the only country where Coke is sold but isn’t the most popular soft drink and the reason is Irn Bru.

I used to love getting this stuff when I went to Great Canadian Bagel. It's fairly common specialty pop up here in Canada, not sure where else it's available. Customers send in photographs which get used as the labels, and they put a saying or fact under the cap like Snapple does.

It's here in the States... Or at least in the South. Not all the flavors, it seems. I see it regularly at Kroger.

Diet Dr. Pepper is my favorite diet soda, only one I drink.
I have a sick addiction to orange soda, too.

Only seems to come out in the summer for a few months in Canada. Best ginger ale out there.

Diet Dr P is good. Out of all the colas, it's the one that tastes the closest to regular.
All those Coke, Pepsi, Root Beer diets and zero calorie max pops you can tell it's gimped. Diet Dr P is pretty close.

Huh, that sounds intriguing. I might have to try to find a way to get some.

Not the greatest pops, but ok. Both pops tastes kind of similar. They both resemble Fresca, so knowing that you'll either like it or not.
Even though they say "sparkling soda", they are just like Fresca, and not like Bubly or flavoured mineral water kinds of soda which have almost no taste to it.

In Canada, these special pops only seem to come to grocery stores that have wide variety. Super discount stores never bother carrying it as they focus on the normal Coke and Pepsi stuff. I don't think Walmart Canada even bothers carrying it as they kind of focus only on the big selling flavours too.

That would probably make trying to get hold of some over here in the UK a nightmare. Ah well. Maybe if I'm over there I'll see some.

Three new Canada Dry ginger ales the past few years that pop up during the summer.
Blackberry: 9/10. Great taste. I always buy a few 12-packs
Pomegranate: 5/10. Not bad. But has a heavy taste to it. Its like you're not even drinking ginger ale
Lemonade: 3/10. Can barely taste any lemonade. Waste of time

If you like your Pepsi's fruity..... like someone took a Pepsi cola and made it like 67% Pepsi/33% fruit juice, try these. I've only seen Berry and Mango where I live. Pretty sure Pepsi has had a Cherry Lime versions before. Never seen Vanilla.
But between berry and mango, berry is super sweet and fruit juicy. Mango is ok.
On the can it says "a splash". There is no way it's just a splash of juice.

Sadly, I've given up most pop (due to the sugar), and now many of my old favorites don't taste very good anymore.
I won't insult the OT by deigning to mention La Croix and the other "flavored" carbonated waters, but I do still like a few, mostly Michigan brands 'cause that's where I live:
This is also my mixer of choice. (Jameson whisky + ginger ale).
I don't really care for the other Faygo flavors but this is a childhood favorite.
It tastes less syrupy-sweet compared to A&W, but I'm pretty sure they have the same amount.
Ruby-Red Squirt (not regular) is my favorite citrus soda.
No, I don't listen nor have I ever been a fan of Insane Clown Posse.

Here lately I've been a big fan of Dr Pepper's "Dark Berry" flavor to promote the new Spider-Man movie.
It's really good, wish it wasn't a limited thing.

Never tried Faygo. Always wanted to. Surprised I've never seen it in the Toronto area, even as a unique pick up a store wants to try out selling. Their website shows a gazillion flavours.

Coke Life is widely available in Canda. But I've never seen Pepsi True.I'll have to say I'm a big fan of Coke life myself
legit excellent and much healthier and natural. unfortunately much harder to get now where I live
I tried the pepsi life the other day and it's pretty trash tbh

One thing I'll say about Sprite... And this 100% true...
I very bad acid reflux and gas. Sprite is the only drink that actually settles my stomach! Not even water helps. Just Sprite! That drink has healing qualities!

I've gotten away from Soda over the years, but when I do get it, Sprite is the way to go. They say light ones are better than dark sodas. But my favorite?
