Dry runs a really good line of sodas. I love their vanilla one.

I like La Croix a lot because of the no added sugar.

My favorite is just getting soda water and adding Mexican vanilla.

>>5607308

1. Coca-Cola

2. Canada Dry Ginger Ale

3. Barq's Root Beer

Not a very exciting list, I know. I just really like regular ass Coca-Cola. Are "Soda Snobs" actually a thing?

>>5607319
snobs, maybe. HFCS is pretty divisive.
enthusiasts, absolutely:

That's some good as shit but this is better imo

>>5607308
Canada Dry.

I once purchased a Faygo cola.

It was almost 100% flat. Wondering if Faygo just makes it like that or if the plastic bottle let the carbonation out over time because it doesn't sell.

>>5607437
I like cans more than plastic, but I like glass more than cans.

Moxie ftw, btw.

I hope you can get past its unfortunate juggalo association and try this delicious shit.

Two things.
Where I live currently, there is a local soda company that makes faggot soda. By 'faggot soda,' I mean 'fair trade, organic, real sugar blah blah blah.' You know: the stuff that faggots worry about when it comes to buying junk food.
Their schtick is that they sell carbonated green tea in a can with a variety of added flavours. Two of them are particularly good but I've not tried them all: the peach one and the lemon one.

Back home, we have a bitter lemon soda that I love a great deal. Turns out that it was invented in the area I live now, exported to my country then fell out of favour here and is no longer produced in this country (but continues to be very popular in mine). Mixing Canada Dry Bitter Lemon with Sprite approximates the flavour of the soda in question. It's fucking fantastic.

I also really like Thai green Fanta. I'm not sure what flavour it's supposed to be. I assumed it was pandan but it's not. Or maybe it is and I just can't recognise fake pandan flavour since I've never used it. Either way, it's really, really good.

Mexico has an apple soda that I fucking love and a local liquor store in my area used to carry imported juice-box-lookin' drinks of carbonated sangria (no, not the large bottles of sangria soda found in many bodega sortsa places) which are basically soda (and wholly wonderful) but they don't carry them anymore.

For more common (in North America, anyway) soda, I like Canada Dry green tea ginger ale and Ting, either normal or pink.

best soda is objectively ginger ale because you can mix it with any alcohol and it tastes fucking great

>>5607465
This is a thread about soda. Not pop.

How can anyone like cola-flavored soda? It literally tastes like shit. All the other delicious flavors that actually taste good to choose from, and you choose cola. Wow. You must be the life of the party at family gatherings.

>>5607486
What about ginger ale with beer

>>5607308
does it taste like Lebron James?

>>5607526
couldn't tell ya

it is great though. pretty sweet but much more flavor than regular sprite.

>>5607500
>how can anyone like cola-flavored soda?

pretty easily. it is tasty

>>5607535
Yeah, if you enjoy the taste of shit.

>>5607500
either you spend your time actually eating feces, or you don't know how to use the word "literally." Stop being a retard and learn english, faggot.

1. Coca-cola
2. Surge
3. Anything else
4. Root beer
5. Cream soda

>>5607308
>What is the most delicious soda in your opinion?
It's a shootout between Gokuri grapefruit and S. Pellegrino limonata, as far as I'm concerned.

I'd give honorable mention to Jarritos torjona and homemade ginger beer made from nothing but fresh ginger, simple syrup and sparkling water.

>>5607544
I happen to like the taste of shit.

Your mom loves it when I shit on her chest.

>>5607583
Joke's on you my "mom" is a gay man. Know what that means? You're a confirmed faggot.

>>5607563

>Pretty sure you were confirmed for a cocksmoker long before this thread. Probably since birth, since you love the cock THAT much.
LOL! Look everyone! This flaming faggot actually likes the taste of cola-flavored soda, but still thinks their opinion or anything else they say is worth jack shit! Wow! Amazing! Incredible! Truly hilarious!

>>5607598
LOL! Look everyone! This flaming faggot actually likes something I don't, yet I continue to act like a little bitch with hurt feelings! Wow! Amazing! Incredible! Truly hilarious!

You spelled "literal shit" wrong.

>>5607598

Says the guy who likes cola and deleted his super tryhard post after rightfully being called immature for making it. Wow. Cola drinkers everyone. Bravo, just bravo.

>>5607617
i didnt delete shit and i dont drink cola. how fucking retarded are you?

Dr. Pepper made with actual sugar is pretty rad.

Next time you're on a plane order ginger ale.

It's the way to go

I didn't like it. It reminded me of funny-tasting cough syrup.
I liked Pepsi Kona, though. Few others I know did, however. It was delicious.

>>5607976
That's because this is better.

>>5608000
>black cherry
>black

I've seen that stuff around, and heard it's good, but I don't care for black cherry. Also, part of the allure of Cheerwine is that it's so selectively regional, though it's expanded its range lately (yet I still can't get it here in Baltimore).

>>5607319
>2. Canada Dry Ginger Ale
Gross. At least get something okay like Vernors.

Anyone remember this stuff?

>>5607346
i actually like all of their drinks, melon is pretty good aswell

>>5607989
Oh shit, forgot about that stuff. I don't even remember what it tasted like, but I don't remember hating it.

>>5608019
I guaran-fucking-tee you can get it in Baltimore. Have you tried the cheerwinefinder.com website?
If I can find it in Pittsburgh, you can find it in your city, Baltimoron.

Pretty much anything from virgils is god tier. Their root beer is my favorite.

Boylans is ok, their ginger ale is pretty good.

Bundaberg ginger beer is the best ginger beer I have ever had.

>>5608027
Yuuuuuus

>>5607989
It was great

>>5608042
I live downtown, and I've checked practically every 7-11 around (and there are a fuckton if you've never been here), and every grocery I can think of. I found ONE case in Di Pasquale's ONE time, but never again.

Otherwise, the Cheerwine finder does list a couple of places, but neither actually had any when I stopped in. Appreciate the advice though, Yinzer.

>>5608093
go to http://www.cheerwine.com/find
I was just at wegmans in columbia, MD and they have it in stock.
Try the boylan. It's better than cheerwine and dr browns cherry.

>>5608170
There's a grocery in Towson that I hear has it (and it is listed on the finder), I just don't get up that way often and don't presently have a car.

Anyway, as I said, I don't care for BLACK cherry, but I just read the description of the Boylan black cherry and it does sound good. I'll give it a go next time I see it.

Is anyone else pissed, that the Aroma vanishes to fast?

>>5607792
>Yeah Dublin Dr. Pepper is awesome.
Not any more, they were forced to stop making it.

Dr. Pepper and Sprite are my two go-to sodas.

>>5608093
Not a Yinzer but work brought me out there a few times. That was the first time I had the stuff and I enjoyed it a great deal. I thought it was native to the area since I always found it en force in western PA (I live farther eastward nearer the coast) but learnt later that it's from the Carolinas, though I'd forgotten which of the two and I can't be arsed to wiki it up.
Carolinians are nice and they tell me they like my accent. :-)

>"I couldn't very well say aloud if I dislike tea. The queen has a secret police that imprisons all who speak against tea. They're brought to trial for treason."
>Guess dass why y'all come to Murka furrur freedoms.

This is an actual conversation I had with a Carolinian before. They don't understand satire, I don't think.
It's like they've never met Europeans down there.
It's cute and they're pleasant and the food is good but many seem thick as mud.

>>5607308
I've traveled to multiple continents.

The best soda in the world is Melon Fanta, availble only in Japanese 7-11s and Japanese family restaurant chains. Every person I've given the soda to as gift has said its the best they ever had and its the only soda I've thought tasted good as a float.

Jones Sodas are among the best in the US, with the Cream Soda being on top.

>>5607308
Chinotto

>>5610178
Ha! I can get the melon fanta at my local Sev here in Philamuhdelphia.

>>5610179
I am from Italy and I think that stuff is disgusting. Absolutely ghastly in flavour. Horrid, terrible pigshit. Not a fan and few I know actually are. It's not terribad if mixed with liquor, however. Chinotto, cynar, a little sugar syrup, a squeeze of lemon, some plain soda and grappa or vodka makes for a decently refreshing summer drink.
Otherwise, chinotto and its various forms can go suck a shit.

>>5610179
>Chinotto

Best soda out there.

>>5610191
I lived in Philly for 6 years before moving to Tokyo. Either you are a fucking liar or I'm going to be really pissed. I looked for Melon Fanta outside of America constantly since the first time I came to Japan in like 2004 and never found anywhere at all I could buy it.

Im going to assume its "Melon" Fanta that taste completely different since Fanta in every country is basically just the most popular local fruit flavored soda company that coke bought out and rebranded. It taste different everywhere

>>5607308

Take your pick, I prefer curiosity cola most of all, both on its own and with 4 year Havana Club and lime.

>>5610212
forgot the picture

>>5610209
Talking to a friend of mine, it's some other brand and not actually 'Fanta' brand.
I don't buy it regularly as I seldom drink sodas so I misremembered who made it. It comes in a metal can but has a screw-top like a bottle. He (the friend) says it's Sangaria brand.
Perhaps I'll stop at the Sev and pick up a bottle to photograph it and post it here.

>>5610345
>>5610209
Oh, and that one I mentioned is indeed one of the best sodas I've ever, ever had.

Is this considered soda? I tried one the other day and liked it a lot.

>>5610361
>carbonated
Tick.
>sugared syrup
Tick.

Yup. It's a soda. Were it uncarbonated, it'd be squash/cordial but as it's carbonated, it is indeed soda.

Glad everyone's posting their favorite root beers in this thread, but I have the superior root beer and the superior taste.

Best Spezi on the market.
Do muricans drink Spezi too actually?

>>5610179
Brio god-tier. I know Europeans look down on it for being sweet, but it reminds me of being a teen.

>>5610454
>chinotto
>sweet
I find it overwhelmingly bitter and unpleasant. Like French people.

>>5610435
They don't.

At Coca Cola World in Atlanta they had a room with all different kinda sodas from all over the world. Spezi was the featured "German special soda".

>it was by far the best
>Asian and southern American sodas taste like shit

>>5610477
Canadian/American chinotto is known for being sweeter than European and South American varieties, though I personally consider it to just be less bitter rather than being more sweet. I've tried "real" chinotto but it's too bitter for me, and I end up going back to Brio.

>>5607308
The lebron james sprite tasted like sherbet (sherbert?) to me, like if you mixed all the colors together and added sprite thats what it'd taste like.


Secondly, I like sierra mist and sprite but I mostly drink water

>>5608044
Bundaburg is god-tier stuff, man.

Baja Blast Mountain Dew is one of my favorites. I have to make sure to stock up.

>>5610564
why do you fuckers always have to have suck long names for shit

>>5607465

correct answer here. I always come back to my old standby red pop. plus for a 24oz bottle it's usually only like 89 cents.

Don't drink soda anymore but loved this shit when I did

1.)Virgil's Root beer
2.) Boylan's Birch Beer
3.) Weinhards Orange Cream
4.)Tonic water with lemon and becherovka
5.) Ginger beer.

So much pleb tier soda in this thread.

Raspberry white tea ginger ale.
Yes.

>>5611806
oh shit why haven't I heard of this

>>5611804

>>5611650

>>5611817

They make a green tea ginger ale too... which is also very, very nice.

schweppes citrus

>>5611824
I have to find this before I go to work tomorrow
thank you anon

Not a big soda fan, here's a list any way

>Manzanita Sol
>Root beer (not picky on brand)
>Ginger Ale (not picky on brand

1. Pepsi/Pepsi blue

2. Rasberry Schweppes

3.Stewart's Root Beer

Also, I tried Mountain Dew Baja Blast the other day and I was pretty impressed, and I don't normally even like Mountain Dew

>>5611846
Goddamn I love apple soda

>>5611861
get the freeze from taco bell
it's actually a balanced flavor rather than syrup heavy
imo anyway

>>5611898

Me too.

2. Royal Cola
3. Barqs Root Beer

Blue Sky natural soda is pretty darn good.

Big red

don't forget tahitian treat and grape drank

>>5607445
my ex said this tasted like balsamic vinegar... she's right, and i still enjoy it

>>5607526

They probably bottled his tears from limping off the court in Texas.

The best soda that I've ever had was Snapple Black Cherry. Back when it was a small company and made soda...

Surge was also great.

Now I just drink the prefered Agnostic Beverage

Question. How do you guys keep your drinks ice cold without watering it down?

I prefer to sip from a glass that I jam with ice but it always degrades after the first sip.

I was thinking whiskey stones but they suck in general.

>>5607308
I prefer six parts carbonated water to one part supermarket brand grapefruit soda, as well as a few glugs of lemon juice, over crushed ice.

>>5608044
Bundy's too sweet for me. Phoenix is my favourite. It's all about the ginger flavour.

>>5610348
>>5610345
They sell a type of melon soda at most Asian grocery stores. It taste similar but its not quite as good. Its like Fanta is Coke and that version is RC Cola. Perfectly drinkable but a little off.

>>5612066
Drink it straight out of the glass bottle. If you're buying 2L plastic bottles then I feel you're doing it wrong but you could keep glasses in the fridge so there's less heat in them to warm up the soda anyway.

>>5611901
That's what I got. I also had some of the actual soda later and it wasn't quite as good as the freeze

Cactus cooler.
Orange and pineapple is too good.

>>5612097
>Phoenix

Dat Honey Cola.

I want to say my favourite was some awesome grapefruit soft drink I had a couple of years back, but I'm fucked if I can remember the name of it. It wasn't from Beechworth, IIRC, but it was produced in a Victorian country town.

1. Coca Cola
2. I've really come to enjoy that new moutain dew thats only at 7/11. Tastes like livewire and baja blast
3. Pibb Extra
4. Jones - FuFu berry and the Blue jones
5. Squirt (tee hee) but only on occasion

>>5612033
I tried this stuff ONCE. The flavor was really unexpected.

>>5611650

It's just a feature of some languages. Reading compound words isn't hard when you're used to it. It literally translates to "Orange-fruit-juice-lemonade" or "Lemonade made with fruit juice from oranges". (Limonade is the generic term for soda in German)

>>5612305

Speaking of unexpected flavors. ...This tastes like the smell of tar and piss.

>>5612326

gotta love that gentian root flavor!

>>5610205
It's not that great, wop

>>5611650

There's some root beer with a crow on the label that I really enjoyed. Brachs or something.
Other than that I've never had extremely enjoyable soda.

Cream soda. I don't care what brand, but cream soda is seriously one of the best things I have ever had.

And lately I've had a very intense craving for anything offbrand.

The glass bottled ones are the only ones worth drinking, but they are very hard to find now. Maybe not in production anymore.

Tizer is incredible.

>>5608242
not entirely true. I've seen DP with real sugar in glass bottles in more than a few stores these days

>>5610205
eh, campari soda makes for a better apertif.

I recently had a Mexican Mt Dew, made with cane sugar and orange juice. It was completely different from the American Dew. Light, refreshing, citrusy. American Dew is thick, overly sweet and tastes like chemicals in comparison.

You should really try this if you can

I can't get into anything other than cola and root beer.

Nope.

Its actually pretty shit. Fentimans is overated.

Yiiiiaaass. This shit is so good.

Curiosity cola is literally the worst cola I have ever tasted, it is significantly worse than warm flat coke. It is like diet coke left in a paper cup under hot lights for a week.

Your mom gave me the brazilian original.

Tastes so good ice cold. It's summery as fuck.
