Ginger beer. It's a great drink, and it's helpful if you have a tummy ache.

Manhattan Special Espresso soda. The original energy drink. Three bottles will give you palpitations.

Bawls.

I like the soda.

I hate calling in companies to ask if it's in stock. "Excuse me do you have any Bawls?"

Root beer.

Those limited Cokes keep breaking my heart. So many of them have been good. The Spice and the Rosalia have been my favs, but the space flavored one and the League of Legends ones were good too.

I also like the Pepsi and Mt Dew with real sugar when I can find them, and Cheerwine also needs wider distribution.

Despite what it sounds like, I don't drink massive amounts of soda, I just like trying the new flavors and regional stuff as I find it.

Kofola , it's less sweet than the others and imo better taste(more mild/herbal?) . hate how every soda has to be ultra sweet.

Dr Pepper. And Vanilla Coke!

Lime soda with salt. It's available across India. It's so refreshing.

Root beer. It's insidious.

Birch beer, followed by Dr. Pepper and the cranberry ginger ale.

Paulaner Spezi 🤤🤤

There was this green apple flavored soda that was basically candy but I loved it

Oettinger Malz

Trocadero/Champis/Pommac

Kutztown Soda Work's Birch Beer by far is my favorite soda. Luckily it is really difficult to find outside of central PA, i am already far too overweight.

Dandelion and Burdock, the Fentiman's one is particularly good.

I like River Port Olde Style Lime, and sometimes Raspberry, but they’re hard to find, as most places just carry drinks from the big two brands.

Seagram's ginger ale is the nectar of the gods.

Canada Dry is also acceptable.

Schweppes is dirty trash water.

1. Mexican coke if it's fresh and the cane sugar hasn't turned to fructose

2. Root beer - Gotta be sprechers or dog n suds

3. Ting 🤤 and to a lesser extent Kola Champagne, god bless jerk shops

4. Dr Pepper strawberries & cream fucks, but it doesn't come in glass bottles and they really gotta fix that

Jarritos and it isn't close. The Mandarin flavour. Mexican sugar is next level.

I also think Coke itself is 'underrated' I would go so far as to say it's an elixir. Hungover? Need a pick-me-up? Just want a nice drink with dinner? It's insanely good, probably why it got so popular in the first place. You can say the same for any sugary soft drink though.

I love Moxie, but it's a regional thing from Maine and it's rather rare here in the bible belt.

As a mix drink, 1 part gin, 1 part jager, 1 part amaretto, 2 marachino cherries, and 6 parts moxie, wide glass on the rocks. It's like drinking the holiday season in a snowy evergreen forest.

NOS.

The only thing I hate about it is the price. This shit is expensive (like $5/can) 😩

Vanilla Cola. I don't buy American soda anymore but Coca Cola...I haven't found any of the Vanilla variant in a couple years now anyways.

Baja Blast

Creme Soda. Oddly enough the cheapest ones seem to be the best in my opinion.

I'm a basic diet cokehead. But I tried a Stoney Tangawizi on holiday once and was instantly in love. I find it very frustrating that with the sheer variety of ethnic shops around the DC region*, I couldn't find it locally!

*when I lived there anyway, in the before times

My favorite now are home fermented, kvass, tepache, ginger beer. Tepache my favorite of those.

Coke Zero, I try not to buy it much but still really like it.

Happy Cola Yuzu Zero was great. Still miss it🥲

Dr Pepper, no contest! This past year my company had a change of ceo and the new guy is a little less health conscious so now they stock Dr Pepper!

Jarritos Tamarind is outstanding, also one of my kids favorites!

Lime Diet Coke is back in stores!

Still looking for that legendary Birch Beer I had when I was a kid

I like to get the ones with "cane sugar" not corn syrup, otherwise its root beer - probably the only one I'm not too picky about brand.

Monster Reverse Orange Dreamsicle. Worth every calorie and the liver damage.
