Soda


If you drink it, what kind do you prefer?


Regular or diet?  Coke or Pepsi?  Some other brand? How about a flavor?


I used not to drink too much soda and when I did it was regular. We all know that isn't too good for us. So, after years and because I seem to drink more of it now, I have learned to drink diet soda, but it must have a flavor. I was raised in a Coke household, so I drink Coke products. I like cherry or vanilla diet Coke. When avoiding the caffine I go with the diet Sprite.


How about you?

I often go with root beer, diet or high test.
I also like diet vanilla pepsi.

I think it may only be regional, but Sprecher Root Beer and Cream Soda is awesome! and I am usually not a soda drinker!

I'm usually jonesing for a Jones.


When I drink "regular" soda, it's usually ginger-ale, Sunkist, or Dr. Pepper.

Probably just cultural brainwashing, but Coke Classic is on the top of the list, it mixes the best.  For taste I love Dr. Pepper, and then the quirky stuff like Green River or IBC Cream Soda.


At heart I'm really a coffee junkie.

Addictive, ain't it?  Make a float out of it, but be sitting down.  Their root beer is top notch as well.

Yep.  I went to the store to get me some Jones, but the IBC was on sale, so I got it instead.  They are both definately premium sodas!

At home, we usually have Diet Coke. Here at the office, I keep Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi in the fridge. I like that better here because it's better when you don't have any food to eat with it.

The next question is what do you call it? Here in Nebraska, we drink POP. Ask for a "soda" here you are likely to get a funny look.

Once when we were in Tennessee, I asked for a Coke and the waitress asked "what kind of Coke?" I said, what do you mean, I want a Coke. She said "well we have Coke, Pepsi, Sprite ...". I said on more time, "I would like a Coke" then she said "Ok" and went and got it. Our friends that live there were almost busting a gut laughing.

Same thing in Germany, Dovetails (sorry, that's who you'll always be to me!).  So odd, ask for a Coke, and then specify which.  Here in Chicago we use either term, or both together.  "You want a soda pop?"

To me, the cheap stuff is pop, Coke refers to any kinda of cola, and soda is the premium stuff, like IBC.

If you were in my office now, you will find a refridgerator.  Open it and it is full of Diet Pespi, Diet Pespi Twist, and Diet Pepsi Lime.  It stores 72 cans and I drink it all day long.  I have cans all over the house and just keep drinking from them, I think I told Star once that I still go even if it may be a day or two old and warm and flat.  I do have about 6 bottles of water on the top.

JD, you drink coffee, and you have problems sleeping through the night.  Ever make the connection?


I used to be that way, I was always drinking coffee.  And I have a really hard time driving by a Starbucks without stopping.  But I had problems sleeping and some stomach problems, and now I'm down to one cup a day, if that, unless of course, I drive by Starbucks.

We are not soft drinkers! I was raised on Tab or Diet Rite. If you wanted a soda that is what you got. So now I do not care for it. If I do though, I am a big fan of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper. It is good. I can't handle the caffiene too well though! Only in the a.m. But in the morning I could take it through an iv! I went through the pop to soda dilemma when I moved from yankee ville to redneck ville!

I LOVE TAB!!!!


I get that only a few times.  I have to special order it through the grocery store because they do not carry it as a regular item and they have to ship it in from a sister store in the LA area.


Fresca rocks too, but I need the caffeine.

I liked Fresca as a kid, but I haven't seen it in ages!


Hey maybe we should set up a regional product exchange for the forum members!! For example CP, send me a 12 pack of Fresca, and I will send you ....well what do you miss from milwaukee? Kopps chocolate custard would melt.........

Come on down, boys!  They sell Fresca all over Illinois, and it mixes nicely with whiskey.  Call it a "Friskey".
