Why are American soda aisles so boring? There’s 0 variety. Why are energy drink brands the only ones making different flavored sodas?

Stores stock whatever sells the most. If there's not enough demand for odd soda flavors they're not worth taking up shelf space.

HOW THE FUCK is there THAT MUCH demand for coke and pepsi. Theres always Like two rows dedicated to just coke and pepsi and the three other shitty overly sweet sodas those two monopolies produce and then theres like a few Ginger Ales and then the rest is diet soda. WHO IS DRINKING THIS SHIT. What demand is there seriously how many people actually fucking GENUINELY ENJOY pepsi its so FUCKING boring
I could never imagine buying like one of those giant 2 liter bottles of like, coke zero cherry flavored. seriously who fucking buys that. they deserve to be killed

Now that I'm 30, I drink flavoured sparkling water. I prefer the subtly and calories or it.

They're the two most popular kind of pop in the world. Of course there's that much demand for them.

To be fair most of them just outright suck and taste bad.
Say what you want about the Coke company but they got their recipes down to perfection.
I fucking WISH some energy drinks would be as palatable as a coca cola product.
Also fuck soda in general.

more or less every new flavor fails. Every year dozens of new ones are released, some are flash in the pan, others are just shelfwarmers. They invariably get cancelled or the big chains remove them from shelves because of poor performance, nothing really get a chance anymore. Most new products get about 3 months to prove themselves, even if their performance is fair or average it's not good enough, everything that doesn't becoma a big seller gets discontinued.
