I don't drink soda much anymore. I do love a Coke or Pepsi with Mexican food or Pizza. This is one of by favorite soda flavors though...

I grew up on Pepsi and for me there's nothing better.  I do like Coke Zero though.

I drink soda/pop/coke - whatever the hell you angrily call it - pretty much every day.  Apparently I'll be dead soon.

Wow, haven’t had an RC in a hundred years. 

Is it even around anymore? It's the only one I didn't mind if I couldn't get a Coke. We'll, except for this

A cold Diet Pepsi every once in a while is a lovely treat.
Diet Dr. Pepper if it's available and I'm feeling extra jazzy.

Dr. Pepper for me. And, like most, I have maybe one a month, if that. I've already had enough to last a lifetime.

I've gotten away from Coke, and lean towards ginger ale. Favorite brand is called Bruce Cost

Can you buy Jolt cola anymore?  I don't think so.  

I would like to get at least a can of it to use as a wrap for the distributor in my Ghia (it was a "thing" a while back and would be period correct for when the motor was put together).

On the very rare occasion that is the one.

Ah, Jolt Cola.  I had a few of those back in the 1980's.

The product has a bit of history.  The name might even be coming back.

Publix Black Cherry.

 

Outside of that, a good root beer.  Outside of that, Baja Blast.

I've got a sweet tooth so I tend to grab a Dr. Pepper (or the rare these days Diet Dr. Pepper, not that Dr. Pepper Zero that gives me the E36 M3s), root beer, orange, grape, vanilla, cherry or whatever is a bit different. I used to grab some of the craft pops (that's right, Pop!) but don't spend the money anymore and generally only drink soft drinks when I'm on the road.

If I'm at a fountain machine I'll often do 2/3 diet coke 1/3 whatever orange is on tap.

If I'm having a cola I really like Jarritos Mexican Cola, that stuff is like drinking candy it's so sweet and delicious.

I like Coke, and I like orange cream, but I'm not sure about combining the two.  I'll give it a try when it hits the grocery store shelves.

I drank lots of "more caffeine than a truckstop urinal" Mountain Dew in college. And junk beer. Have avoided both of them since. 

Now if I have an occasional "coke" (also living in the south) with lunch it'll be Dr Pepper - less than one per month. 

In summary: I am not the target audience for soda advertisers.

Originally it was Coke bottled in Mexico, imported across the border, available in places like San Diego and LA.  Particularly of interest because it came in glass bottles and supposedly with the pre-1985 sucrose recipe.

These days you can get it lots of places so I'm not sure if it's all still imported or if they're now bottling "Mexican" Coke in the US as well.  Costco sells it.

Ha ha ha, I grabbed a moon pie a few days ago. You could see the disappointment in my wife's eyes as I came back to the car.

I had pretty much cut Coke out except for eating out, hard to get good unsweetened ice tea around here.  That said, Coke was one of the few things that tasted almost normal to me during chemo and there were a few times I couldn't even stand to drink water!

I stopped drinking pop awhile back (wow maybe 12+ years already?) when my I started doing regular checkups and my sugar was up there, and the Dr was using words like Pre Diabetic.  So I cut out pop almost cold turkey, less sugar in the coffee, etc.

But my fav was probably Dr Pepper, followed by Cherry Coke.  I did my stint with Jolt in the Navy studying Nuclear Power before I discovered coffee.  I still drink the occasional Root Beer.

I have a Coke with my dinner each night, it's the only pop I drink. 

We have a significant Mexican population here, and a lot of Mexican restaurants that all serve Coke that is hecho en Mexico, and I can't tell the difference.
