What is your favorite kind of soda (or pop as we say in western PA) currently?

[debm55]

It's tea or water for me. I don't drink pop.

[alittlelark]

1. Craft root beer or cream soda

[Glamrock]

5. I like your style!

I grew up on Wildwood Root Beer and Crème Soda

[hlthe2b]

2. Used to be addicted to Diet Coke but quit a decade plus ago...

Once in a blue moon when I shop at a health food store, I'll pick up a Zevia ginger root beer sweetened only with stevia. It tastes pretty good, but with no artificial ingredients, you have to get used to a clear root beer. LOL

Otherwise, it is unsweetened tea or coffee, or water.

[WheelWalker]

3. I'm with you. Never touch the stuff.

And I carry my own water.

[Glamrock]

4. It's my morning coffee....

As I never developed a taste for coffee….

[elleng]

6. Ginger ale, occasionally.

[flying rabbit]

7. Either a Squirt

or Coke occasionally.

[Upthevibe]

21. flying rabbit.......

I LOVE Diet Squirt but it seldom seems to be available so I mainly drink old-fashioned Diet Fresca.

[brush]

8. Ruby red Squirt. It's delicious, have to cut down.

[Upthevibe]

22. brush.....

As I mentioned above, I LOVE Diet Squirt but it seldom seems to be available so I mainly drink old-fashioned Diet Fresca.

[brush]

28. Fresca is good too. Diet Seven Up also as you can't tell it's even diet.

[moniss]

9. It sort of depends on the times

in question. As a child it was Sunrise Orange soda, then as a teen it was Schweppes Bitter Orange, Graf's Root Beer, Canfield's 50/50, Pepsi and Mountain Dew. As a young adult it was Dog n Suds Root Beer and Diet Pepsi. Middle age it was Schweppes Tonic with a twist of lemon or lime. Now it's cola, and different ones from Jarritos like Mandarin Orange, Mango, Lime or Fruit Punch. I'll still have an occasional root beer from a drive-in.

[Mr.Bill]

10. I don't drink it often,

But now and then I like a good Root Beer.

[Polly Hennessey]

11. Canada Dry ginger ale mini cans. Once in awhile.

[debm55]

38. Yes, If I am sick, I will break down and drink Ginger Ale

[RussellCattle]

12. I like root beer. It will be interesting, given how odd we DUers are, how few folks will.....

.....say Coke or Pepsi.

[debm55]

14. Is it Dad's?

[RussellCattle]

30. Grew up in Ohio and had Dad's as a kid. Going back for a family wedding on.....

......Saturday and will look to see if it’s still available.

[brush]

29. I fondly remember A&W root beer from the drive-in in frosted mugs with foam on top.

Nothing better.

[RussellCattle]

31. One of my favorites too. In 1974 when we moved to Moscow, Idaho, A&W was.....

.....one of two “fast food” joints in town. Arctic Circle was the other.

[Chainfire]

33. Me too. At the drug store soda fountain.

[debm55]

39. When I was young I always got cherry Coke at the Soda fountain with those orange and peanut butter

crackers to eat along side. I think that they were made by Langes.

[Snarkoleptic]

13. Sodastream is my jam.

I use a Zerowater pitcher to fill the bottles, as I have hard water.
I add a bit of Costco Organic Volcano Lemon Juice, which is great and inexpensive.

[debm55]

15. That sound's good.

[Hamlette]

26. Volcano Lemon Juice?

never head of it, what's it by in Costco?

[Snarkoleptic]

44. Label reads "Italian Volcano 100% organic lemon juice"

Here's the url from the bottle- https://www.dreamfoods.com/
It comes in a twin-pack of 1-liter bottles and is near the spices in my local Costco (sometimes one aisle over).
I've been using this for 10+ years and always have some on hand.
Only for beverages, as I use fresh lemons for anything cooking-related.

[Hamlette]

45. I'm gonna go looking for it. My Costco is apparently the biggest in the world so finding might take

a few hours.

I drink a lot of fresh lemon juice (Costco has great lemons) but have not tried bottled lemon juice for use as it was not as good.

Maybe tomorrow....trip to Costco.

[Brother Buzz]

16. RC Cola

My girlfriend's over but I sent her away
'cause she almost knocked the supper off my TV tray

Bring a loada'
RC Cola
TV Dinner
A plate of Twinkies
It takes a pink burrito
For to keep me clean
(For to keep me clean)

[Jeebo]

17. Dr. Pepper

People who don't like Dr. Pepper complain that it "tastes like medicine", but it's because of that flavor that I love Dr. Pepper. "It's the most original soft drink ..."

-- Ron

[Archae]

18. Sprecher's Root Beer with maple syrup.

[GP6971]

19. As a kid Mountain Dew

Haven't touched it in years. If I do have a soda it would be A&W Root Beer, but those are rare occasions.

[Laffy Kat]

20. Dr. Pepper.

I rarely drink it tho, 'cause it's so not good for me. My go to drink is watered-down Sprite or 7-up. I use loads of ice and just enough soda to sweeten the water when the ice melts. I can make a can of Sprite last two days.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. tea or water. I usually just have water when I eat out

since I discovered how much I was spending on tea.

I don't drink soda either

[Kali]

24. I love soda

favorite would probably Coke in a glass bottle from Mexico, but I will drink just about anything carbonated that isn't diet. I try to only have a couple per week or less but I LOVE soda.

[keithbvadu2]

25. Ginger ale... Sometimes even ginger beer, quintuple strength ginger ale.

Power drink. Snorts out your nose even.

[ShazzieB]

27. Diet Pepsi!

I will cheerfully drink Diet Coke if that's all that’s available, but I have a slight preference for Diet Pepsi and keep it in the house at all times.

I also like tea and coffee, but I find cold beverages more refreshing than hot ones,, and I like the convenience of something that doesn't have to be brewed, sweetened, or (in the case of coffee) creamed before I can drink it.

[Emile]

32. I quit drinking pop, it's not good for you. I use to drink diet Coke

back in my day.

[Elessar Zappa]

37. A soda now and then won't hurt you.

Everything in moderation.

[malthaussen]

34. Diet Coke. Let the flaming begin.

When I moved to Philly from Pittsburgh, my grandmother asked me if I wanted a soda. I said "Yes, strawberry."

-- Mal

[debm55]

35. Same here. I wanted some pop not soda, Soda has ice cream in it,

36. Depends on my mood.

But my three favorites are Coke, Dr.Pepper, and Orange Crush. But I only have a couple a month. If I’m going to drink something sugary I generally prefer 100% juice, my favorites being orange juice and cherry Juicy Juice.

[SKKY]

40. I don't drink Soda anymore, but when I did, Code Red Mountain Dew...

..was my jam.

[Prairie_Seagull]

41. Don't drink pop these days but when I was a kid in NC.

I was a cheerwine fanatic.

[ProfessorGAC]

43. Same Here

The last time I drank pop was a root beer float, probably 3 years ago.
For me, all pops are too sweet.
I drink water, tomato juice & zero beers.
