Any "Soda" drinkers?

[MadPlumbarian]

Anyone addicted to soda? Like a daily must have, even a breakfast drink? When I was little it was a privilege when I was with my mother and orange and root beer were my must haves! On the other hand Coke was a everyday drink when with my father, and I must say it was great when having MickyDs for breakfast, better then chocolate milk. I used to beg my mother for orange soda for breakfast, like orange juice orange soda, what's the diff?
 
    Anyway, I kinda skipped out on the orange or root beer, Pepsi was the biggie, but the wife and I went on diets ditching soda, I even tried a Pepsi and couldn't stand it, yet the other day while at a party there wasnt a drink but since a kids party I saw an orange, over like 25years since I had one of those, I was like wow! All we drink Now is flavored water in iced tea flavor, or once and a while like at MickyDs is their sweet iced tea, but that's rare..

   So I was just wondering if anyone was big on soda and what they like and how?

When I was younger and was out west I wanted a root beer and they didn't have them but had sarsaparilla, not bad, been a while, but nothing beats a frozen glass mug with an ice cold root beer, heck cold enough that the top freezes!
  Another little trick I liked was those blue mt dew's, I'd drink a little and then stuff it in the freezer for like 30min just as it was freezing and was like a slushy, umm so good! Had a few sips of the one I bought our older son the other day while out, just not frozen, I had to get a few things for the younger kid and his school trip today, like a A/W root beer, pretty much why I thought of making this cause I want him to a sarsaparilla, and one of those good root beers, the ones in the glass bottles..

I'm still a fan of Dr.Pepper, especially with any alcohol mix.

I try not to drink it daily, but if I really need a soda I will buy a coke-zero. Other than that it's sweet tea, a lot of Gatorade, and beer.

I'd also always prefer a glass and ice. Just a qwerk of mine I guess.

Side Story; my sister flew to Iowa wednesday and all the recycling and soda machines say "Pop" instead of "Soda/coke," I lost it lol

Sums up Soda for me

For a very long time, Mt Dew and cranberry juice was how I started the day. Kinda had to give it up.

I have to admit, I'm a Coke addict..... Around here we can get Mexican Coke in stores.  Most bodegas carry it, as does 7-11. Yes, that sounds VERY wrong, but it's true.   It comes in glass bottles, and the formulation is slightly different than in the US. They use real sugar, for example.  If you're a cola fan and get the chance to try one, Mexican Coke is awesome!



BTW, the use of the word "pop" in this thread will result in an instant banning!

I'm going to guess that's like mt dew throwback? I had that a few times but can't remember..

Similiar, but these bottles aren't made as a special formulation or advertised as anything special.  They truly do rock though, and the taste difference is noticable, in a good way.  They lack that slightly acid bite of a regular Coke.

Idk, it's been a while and the memory ain't all there, ever had that one cola that had like double the caffeine? I think I tried it way back in high school..

Jolt Cola!  Oh man, I haven't thought of that stuff in years.  We had to sneak drinking it, momma Devil did not approve.  A bit ironic now considering how much coffee my brothers and I consume nowadays.....  At one point we found a product at Walmart called Water Joe.  Caffinated water, you stayes hydrated and got a nice buzz.   I used to make coffee with it....

[captain spaulding]

Ah yes, Jolt. That's the one.

[SAK Guy]

Jolt Cola got me through college.....

[ColoSwiss]

Pepsi drinker here (probably more than I should). Also occasionally a cream soda, root beer, or ginger ale.

Speaking of Dr Pepper and RC Cola, both are now owned by Dr Pepper-Snapple, who also own 7-Up, A&W, Hires, Nehi, Crush, Squirt, and almost every other oddball brand of soda pop.

Same here, I'm originally from Ct, and the wife from Pa, both where it's called soda, but since we moved to Mi it's called pop, one of our friends gets pissed and is trying to break us of calling it soda, yet all of the commercials call it soda, even the restaurant advoid and call it by name like Coke or Pepsi..

   Now here's a funny, the wife being from philly has a little bit of a slang, one night her and a friend went to a bar just to get away from the kids for a little, the lady comes over and asks what they'd like she says just a water, but it kinda sounds like wader, she can't have anything with alcohol due to health.. The lady says is that a new drink? No just water, I'm still not understanding you, so she gets pissed, you know water, the stuff in the ocean, h2o! Ohhh water! lol

Had both the Stewart's and Icb root beer, but never the orange soda..

[jerseydevil]

Oh man, Stewart's. Their ginger beer is awesome, but hard to find.  Stewart's root beer is best from a frozen mug at a Stewart's drive in. Great stuff!

[ToolJoe]

I'm a sucker for Mountain Dew. Mexican Coke is fantastic as well. All I have to do is bring some home for mrs. Tj and it gets me out of the doghouse.

I'm not a daily drinker of "soda", but when I do it tends to be Irn Bru.  Dr Pepper, Coke and Sprite will also get a look-in if I'm in the mood.

[Yadda]

Coke Zero.

[captain spaulding]

Anyone else think about how diet soda could actually be worse for you than "normal" soda? The thinking behind this is we have not been using artificial sweeteners all that long and no one really knows the long term health risk behind them. They are for the most part chemicals. I personally rather just drink real sugar rather than more chemicals.

Irn Bru...

When I was a kid,it was something you could only get in Belfast...once a year we'd go up on the train,and to me,that was the big treat.

Don't get me wrong,I'm pleased that it's so easily available in London,but it still surprises me!
