The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?
I’m personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.
Water! You can even carbonate it yourself!
That’s exactly my answer to “Which carbonated soft drink is the worst?”
Sparkling water ftw. Do you have a CO2 tank to carbonate?
Yeah a soda stream!
Sometimes… no all times, I wish I also couldn’t taste Bitter 2. Unfortunately when you carbonate water, that is literally the only flavour it has. And it has alot of it. It’s one of the most disgusting flavours to people that can taste it, and completely non-existent to everyone else.
Fellow super taster I share your anguish
My wife got me a kegerator a couple years ago. It’s amazing! Like $700. Fill up the keg with tap water when you run out (my keg is like 10 gal), refill the CO2 tank every 100 gals or so. I did a math a while back and it’s like 6 cents per glass, not including upfront costs.
Or you can get an adapter to use with a standard CO2 tank with a soda stream machine. Refill those CO2 tanks at your local home brewing supply store, which again is way cheaper than the sodastream CO2
SodaStream user here, that seems like a way better way than building it all from scratch!
Correct answer!
Carbonated water
Maybe with a little fruit flavor
No!
I uses to hate it but finally cave in. It’s my favourite sparkling drink. It tricks my brain into thinking I’m drinking a sweet drink.
When I was a kid, we had a drink called “suicide punch”. You mix equal parts of every drink in the fountain.
It is definitely not that.
ooooh man I had forgotten about “suicides”, high fructose corn syrup makes kids do crazy shit
Idk. That’s more a case of kids making high fructose corn syrup doing crazy stuff.
Baja blast zero by a mile
I have to drop my daughter off at dance class for 45 minutes every week. Fortunately there’s a Taco Bell nearby that led me to discover the wonder that is Baja Blast Zero. Now it gives me something to look forward to every week.
For some reason the zero versions of mtn dew give me a headache. Which is sad because I love mtn dew but refuse to drink the sugar versions
Yes! It’s so good. I always pick up a few 12 packs when I see it because it only comes around every once in a while
Its finally back for good!
Is it really? Oh, finally!
I never see it, though. I’ll have to look around.
I know I’m going to be in the minority here, but I’ve been on a carbonated flavored water kick for a few years after I realized sugar was killing me. It was a two fold realization that I just really enjoy the fizz and not the sugar.
That said, Polar seltzer-ade with lemon or lime juice is just 🤌 if you’re into carbonated waters
yaaaas queen
Dr Pepper!
But I have to say Jarrito Tamarind soda is really good
I remember when Jarritos was this exotic little mandarin drink, only stocked in one row at my local super market. I’ve loved them since then, and now I see them everywhere in all flavors. Like watching a child grow up :')
Water.
Fevertree ginger beer. Strong ginger flavor, not overly sweet like many other ginger beers I’ve tried.
Second! I always like the strong bite of ginger. Im finding it harder and harder to get good ginger beer or even birch beer, they seem to have the tendency to be too sweet, like Reeds.
I like cock and bull, especially with a squeeze of lime
Moscow Mule hold the Moscow. Been making these a lot lately. Not decided on what my preferred ginger beer for it is though.
Add some lime 👍
Have you tried Buffalo Rock ginger ale? I’m pretty sure it was a civil war era tonic. They still sell it in parts of Mississippi. It hurts to drink, but mixes well with bourbon.

There’s so many cliches, but despite them all, Mountain Dew. Not because it makes me feel Xtreme while I’m playing Call of Duty and eating Doritos on my skateboard, it’s just a much better flavor.
I miss Canadian mountain dew. It was just the pop, no caffeine. Turns out caffeine doesn’t taste very good. I mean you would assume that, but it really hit home when the pop I loved all of a sudden added it. Wish they continued to offer a caffeine free version. But I know in the states the caffeine is like their whole marketing thing.
Beer. It’s… soft?
The word “soft” in “soft drink” is contrasting “hard” as in “alcoholic” (eg. “Hard cider”). Beer is decidedly not a soft drink.
Whoooooosh
If we were including beer, that might of been top of my list XD.
The prices for coke and pepsi products has gone up an absurd amount the last few years. Unless they drop back down a bit in price (unlikely) I’m sticking to my sodastream for all my home carbonation needs.
That’s fair enough. Tbh everything has gone up by absurd amounts, at least where I am.
I’ve been into vanilla coke zero sugar for a while now.
Sprite zero sugar if you want no caffeine.
Both work well with alcohol. Bourbon or spiced rum with the coke. Vodka with the sprite.
On those funky Coke machines in some restaurants, there was an option to get Raspberry Coke Zero for a long time. I grew to love it. Now it looks like they’re taking it away in most places.
That depends on the context.
Eating pizza, nothing can ever compete with a nice glass of Trocadero, it just feels right.
At cristmas? Coca Cola? Absolutely not! Give me Zeunerts Julmust every time!
Drinking soft drink with friends and watching a movie, give me an Indian Tonic with a lemon slice, lasts long and is very tasty.
Have some dark rum (I have plenty) and want a quick drink with a good mixer, Fanta used to be great, but they have added sweeteners in addition to sugar, so they taste like crap now, so I tend to look for som itallian orange soda, it is works well.
Eating a bruger, Coca Cola is still great!
Having a quiet evening by the computer? Just stick to mineral water.
I would drink Julmust in summer if it wasnt such a social faux pas.
A different drink for every occasion, I like it haha.
My favorite with a slice is Mandarin Jarritos. Sometimes Lima. Stewart’s Orange Creame soda is also pretty great.
I’m also a big fan of ice-cold Sprite.
I am expecting Sprite to get the sweetener treatment as well, but for now it makes a great drink to mix it with some local distilled raspberry liquor I have, tastes like Sprite, but with a really nice aftertaste of Raspberries
Bundaberg ginger beer! It’s the only answer
Rarely drink anything sugary but Jarritos in various flavors. Cranberry Sierra Mist is also good.
I mostly drink water/seltzer, but I love grapefruit Jarritos.
