Coke vs Pepsi

Actually, I like regular Coke (especially the Mexican kind which still has sugar in it) and diet Pepsi... go figure.
 
Coke, but only from a can. Varies too much from the fountain.
 
I don't drink that stuff anymore, not even the artificially flavored stuff.

But back in the day, Mountain Dew rocked.
 
Coke. But seldom. Vast amounts of sugar in soft drinks, which turns to fat very quickly. And I don't care for artificial sweeteners.

Prefer ginger ale most of the time when I do have a soft drink. I think it has less sugar in it, too. You Amercans get this stuff down there?

Yep, you can still get it at most grocery stores. IMO it is the best Cola for mixing.

RC tends to have a regional following (especially in the south) though it is available internationally. It was sucked into Schweppes through some various acquisitions over the years. Used to drink a lot of it in high school. Pretty innovative stuff. RC was the first to introduce Diet (Diet Rite) and Caffeine-Free colas.

Mt Dew

Pepsi

(coke is a very very distant third)
 
Anybody know why Adam Corrola calls Mt.Dew 'Nectar of the Tards'? I've heard him say it repeatedly but never got the back story. BTW, I like Mt.Dew.

IRT OP, Pepsi.
 
showing my age, but "no coke, pepsi"

Holy ****, I was going to throw that quote in myself! Yes!

But to answer your question, Adam Carolla was referring to the stereotypical socioeconomic background of the average Mountain Dew drinker, implying they are all back woods rednecks.

Hmmm… I'm in IT and it's sort of a running joke that all the computer nerds live on Mt. Dew. I..cannot..stand..the..stuff.
 
Anyone remember Double Cola or was that just a southern beverage?
 
Dr. Pepper lovers, if you ever get a chance to have "Dublin Dr. Pepper", made in the original Dublin, TX plant, do it. Made with cane sugar, and tastes like heaven.
 
Diet Coke is the only correct answer in this thread.

Growing up in Miami 50 years ago..... The "hot set up" was to open a RC Cola and then dump a packet of Tom's salted peanuts into it.. Both machines were usually side by side...;) MMMMMMMMMM,,, The good ol days..:)

Correct! Fat fingered the spelling. ;)

I had an assignment in Waco TX once and the only three things I remember about the place was The Texas Rangers Museum, Baylor University, neither of which made a big impression, AND The Dr Pepper Museum which did.:yes:

I still have some stuff from that museum around somewhere.

Cheers

If you're ever in the Birmingham, AL area pick up some Buffalo Rock ginger ale. If you like Vernors I think you'll like BR just as well.

:yeahthat:

I have sworn off soft drinks many moons ago...but if I drink one...I like the Cokes in the small glass bottles...
 
remember the cola: Jolt?
 
Having gone to school with a lot of Long Islanders, we went through lot of Dr. Browns (various flavors but Cel-Ray was one of my favorites). After I graduated I was living in the Denver area and I walked into the King Soopers one day and found, in the "international foods" section, a lone six pack of Cel-Ray. I don't know how it managed to find it's way to Colorado but clearly nobody there knew what it was thinking it some exotic food from a foreign land (of course in those days, they had the same feeling about bagels). I bought it, but I never saw another can of Cel-Ray until I moved back east.
