The cola that should be on the list that is excellent is RC Cola. Not quite as good as an ice cold coke but it's very good. Dr. Pepper products are great in the Zero and diet arena compared to other diet drinks. Moutain Dew when it contained real sugar was very good. 7up and Sprite are good and a coin flip between the two.

The term is Soda Pop. But in the southern states everything is called a coke. So you can say soda or pop and it's the same thing.

Red can or blue can?

 
I run the other way. The sugar's poison, you know that, right? Rots your teeth, causes inflammation, cancer, heart disease, the list is likely endless.

There's not diet soda that isn't bad for you. I was going through the security exit at Costco a dozen years ago and the employee guy told me the case of diet cola I had in my cart wasn't good for me! Imagine the temerity! I used to have a can with dinner, pretty much every night. I have never bought it again. I rarely drink wine at dinner anymore. My favorite beverage these days is weak lemonade I make from fresh lemons (I juice them and freeze in ice cube trays and store in the freezer). I throw in a pinch of stevia powder and keep in dispenser in the fridge. Love it.
 
Cherry Coke Zero>Fresca>Coke Zero>everything else sugar free.

Of course if you don't mind all that extra sugar in your diet, there are a ton of excellent options not captured in my list, but I prefer to save my calories for delicious food instead. That said, Coke has figured out the best sugar free formula with it's Zero products, and it isn't even close. Even Diet Coke is garbage comparatively.

.. sorry to break it to you ..

it used to be, but it no longer is. And, this is now an internet myth, you'll probably get a ton of bad results online, but aside from the special Passover run, no coke is produced anywhere in the world with cane sugar. The "yellow cap" is the last bastion of real coke.

Really? You're going No True Scotsman when everyone knows "real" Coca Cola had cocaine?

So is Canadian. I don't understand the point of keeping sugar price high. Not like it's really a strategic reserve anymore.

Canadian coke is made with HFCS. Every soda here is except diet sodas. Diet sodas have a choice of either aspartame or sucralose. Some have stevia, yuck.

don't try me.
Coke has not had any cocaine in it since 1904 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola#Use_of_stimulants_in_formula
Nobody here has ever tried coca cola with coke, unless they did their own makeshift spiked coke. And you know very well we're talking about the "real sugar" coke, the one made with sugar cane syrup, rather than corn syrup, within this context. And while the myth of the Mexican Coke still exists,
In 2013, a Mexican Coca-Cola bottler announced it would stop using cane sugar in favor of glucose-fructose syrup, to comply with changes to the Mexican food labeling law. It later clarified this change would not affect those bottles specifically exported to the United States as "Coca-Cola Nostalgia" products.

You want real coke, wait until April, and then go shopping.

Bitch, I put the exact correct amount of cocaine in every yellow cap I drink. :colbert:
 
I like the different flavors of Mountain Dew, such as Baja Blast, Voltage, Whiteout, so sad they don't make Pitch Black anymore. For root beer, I like Barq's. Dad's is also good as mentioned, but harder to find. I also like Jaritos and Mexican Coke.

I beg to differ. Here is my Mexican Coke.

I drink Diet Dew because it wins several awards for being the worst pop for you overall. And pop is short for soda pop, didn't you read the book?

is it the import-only "nostalgia Coke" as per article above? If so, lucky you that you can get it. Because these aren't sold in regular shops.

I think my friend @faxon orders a bunch of them on Amazon. They do mention real sugar on the ingredients I believe.

Pepsi removed the brominated vegetable oil so it's no worse than other pops.

Pops? You mean like ring pops? Bomb pop? Freeze pop?

Do you want a pop? <--ambiguous: could refer to many things other than soda pop.
Do you want a soda? <--unambiguous: nobody is going to think "does he mean baking soda? soda bread?" These are the questions of the mentally ill.
Do you want a coke? <--Yes. "Okay what kind of coke do you want?" What? Absolutely brain dead way of speaking, insane people deliberately causing confusion for sane people.
