Eh, the colors of sodas are an afterthought and usually artificial. That being said, my favorite sodas are rootbeer and Dr. Pepper.

>>4415733
i think root beet and dr pepper kind of taste the same.

>>4415742
You should see a doctor, your sense of taste is gone.

>>4415747
My dad lost his sense of taste for a few months when he was young. It was awful.

>>4415747
on the patient form should i put "can't taste difference between liquid diarrhea"

pop master race

What would crystal pepsi be???

Even if they are artificially colored, you may still use the color of a soda to judge the overall category. The various companies color their sodas according to the taste profile.

>>4415887
garbage.

>>4415742
Not at all.
I usually stick to dark sodas it seems.
Dr. Pepper, Sprecher's Puma Cola, Coke, Sarsaparilla.

Literally any form of diet soda. Colour is irrelevant.

cherry coke #1 for big name sodas

I only drink ginger ale on airplanes.

>>4415967
Oh yeah, and ginger beer. So much ginger beer. Only light colored "soda"? I enjoy.
Would ginger beer be considered soda?

I don't think the color really matters, but I do tend to enjoy the flavor of light colored pop.

You guys need to try lemonata by that on sparkling water company that begins with an sp. it's the best fucking soda in the entire universe. I found it at a 711 but I bought all 6 and they won't restock. Try some and thank me later

>>4416446
san pellegrino limonata?

it's alright

>>4416453
Fuck you it's delicious

>>4416446
i like the aranciata flavor better

I prefer dark beers, but light sodas.

I don't really like soda though. Too sweet. I like bitter beer.

>>4416461
Never had it :(

Is there a soda that is like limeade only carbonated? one having the sweetness of mountain dew but still retaining a "real" or "fresh" type of taste (with pulp possibly)?

Just bought one of these, cherry cola is the GOAt soda flavor

>Soda made with sugar instead of HFCS

>>4416649
SO FUNNEH

>mfw trying throwback and mexican sodas for the first time

>>4416609
You'll find it in San Pellegrino and Orangina. Enjoy, my friend.

>>4416668

It really is amazing. I regularly stop by a nearby Mexican grocery to grab their cokes in glass bottles.

>>4416668
>throwback and mexican sodas for the first time
Its all in your head, the difference is hardly perceptible and one really isn't better than the other

>>4416697
I feel like it's more of the glass vs can business
and most throwback/mexican sodas are in glass

>>4416712
The serving container has a much more substantial effect on the flavor than the type of sugar they use

I prefer light soda but that's because I only generally drink soda to ease nausea so ginger ales, sierra mist, carbonated light juices

>>4416712
>>4416736
I dunno, I've only had throwback in cans. Shit tastes a lot better, there's not that nasty aftertaste and it's a lot smoother going down. It also tastes sweeter, like a more pure kind of sweet.

Twenty editors blind taste-tested the two cokes, side by side, and found ...

>85 percent of our tasters could tell the difference between regular Coke and Mexican Coke.

>80 percent of our tasters preferred Mexican Coke to regular Coke.

>>4416764
20 seems like quite a small sample size

I can taste the difference, but the difference is very slight and I have a very hard time claiming one is better than the other

>>4415724
>2013
>still drinking soda
are you guys still 12 year olds?

>>4416764
Seems like a very flawed study. Very small sample size, doesn't control for the type of container the soda came from, only uses Coke

>>4416773

>>4416697
I don't know if it's all in my head, but I'm pretty sure I can taste a big difference between them.
I should have my friend set up some kind of taste test.

>>4416776
>blind taste tested
that's controlling for container.
>only uses coke
that's the point.
>small sample size
you don't actually know how statistics works, do you? It's small, true, which is only relevant if you have a non-random sample (which this is) and you're trying to make it perfectly representative.
If all you're going for is a broad preference, not exact percentages, 20 is more than enough.

>>4416851
>that's controlling for container.
no, I mean if the mexican coke is from a glass bottle and the regular coke is from a plastic bottle they will taste different. The bottle/can type has a bigger effect on the flavor than the type of sugar
