Fentiman's Curiosity Cola, strange as it sounds it tastes like liquid cola bottles. I would only buy it very rarely though, I can almost feel my teeth dissolve as I drink it.

It's a toss up between ginger beer and orange.

Coca-Cola I suppose, even though I allow myself to drink it about ~ten-fifteen times a year - roughly once every month :sad:

I have tried Dr. Pepper long time ago and was repulsed by it. Then I tried it the last year, and I was stunned by the unique and flavourful (for a soda) taste. In other words, I loved it. But Coke is till my choice. Not remotely interested in any other drink, although I do not see much difference between the Coke and the current formula of Pepsi, which toned down its sweetness. I have yet to try Root Beer though, and my hopes are it is at least a bit similar to Kvas - my absolute favourite drink (I genuinely like it - it not merely because I am Russian).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvas

Umm, I believe you missed the snob train at the Vinophiles thread... :idea2::juggle2::clown:

Hehe, well, water is my chief drink too, but this is a soda thread... Unless you drink water with sodium... :dizzy2:

I've had very little soda for the last year or so (my wife's stomach doesn't react well to it), but my preferences would probably be Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, and A&W Root Beer from the tap. I can't stand cola flavor. Sprite is excellent to spruce up fruit juices, and good but not great on its own. My favorite drink overall is probably cran-raspberry juice. Oh, and Schwarzerjohannesbeersaft (spelling?), which I have yet to find in America.

I'm a big-time Mountain Dew junkie. I've "quit" twice now, but it didn't stick either time. That's okay, though; I don't want help. ~D

Naturally carbonated water. Now wouldn't that be something. Imagine a pristine paradise full of bubling streams and animals with decaying teeth. ~D

Coke. Cherry Coke was delicious but is incredibly hard to get down here.

Hmm, really? In Australia? Why? Is there any reason why Aussies do not like Cherry Coke in general, thus leading to lower availability which follows the low demand?

Or is it more complex than that, such as a intranational regional factor?

I like Coca-Cola (Zero).

Not much of a soda drinker though, usually stick to water, orange juice, milk, wine (only with diner) or beer.

And coffee of course, preferably with a bar of chocolate.

No idea, I guess it just didn't sell well. You can only get it in places that import it direct from the US.

I love vanilla coke and prefer it at times to regular coke. Then again I enjoyed Pepsi Blue when that was still around :tongue:

Orangina
I have only seen that in Europe. Does that make you European? And of yes, I forgot ginger ale. That is certainly my favourite, along with kvas.

I abjure all soda. Dunno why, I guess I got tired of paying good money for a sugar spike.

When I was a kid I loved Tizer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tizer). The closest thing to that these days is Irn Brew, which, as we all know, is made in Scotland from girders. :wink:

They also had a sister drink called Jusoda. Sorta like a super orange pop, Great with fish and chips. :2thumbsup:

Don't drink much pop these days but if I do it's diet coke. Gotta watch out for type 2 diabetes at my old age. :beam:

One thing I showed my grandkids, which they all adore, is American Cream Soda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_soda) poured over vanilla ice cream. If they know that it's on the cards they may get some, they wolf down their dinner PDQ.

Used to like sasperilla, although it does induce a sugar sweat if overdosed. :skull:

Not far from the truth. It's actually made from rusty iron bedsteads, looted from burnt out council flats.

I don't like soda. Never have. I have an aversion to carbonated (fizzy) drinks. I can't even swallow them, let alone discern one taste from another....
