Coke! Coke! Coke! Coke! ** End Marching Band Noises ** Hmmm... coke. Coke is the ambrosia of Pete. Coke gives Life. Coke is glory. Coke is It. Pepsi is the seventh level of Hell in comparison. Pepsi isn't worthy of cleaning a Coke spill. Pepsi is just not. (Edited 'cos I was at the top of page, so I thought I'd give my argument more oomph.)

*A large plane skywrites the following over this whole thread: Pepsi! Pepsi! Pepsi! I'm drinking one right now! Seriously. Coke is nasty. It's made with lemon juice. Not just any old lemon juice, but lemon juice concentrate. Ick. If I wanna go suck a lemon, that's my perogative, but don't slip it to me in my soda, 'kay? But if I ain't in a cola mood, then my next choice is Surge. Ahhh, Surge. Better than Mountain Dew with twice the caffinated goodness. Yum. edited to add: Don't give me any crap about the Pepsi commercials, either. I for one happen to think that that little girl is cute. I also like JarJar Binks in Episode one. So there.

coke is really good for mixing, especially with brandy. but pepsi and *any* form of alcohol? deliver us from evil. in fact in general, coke is... well not quite it but its better than pepsi. and i find it astonishing that people can't tell the difference. join our pop culture world children. its bliss! p.s im thinking the gorilla. big time.

coke and rum (not Pepsi if you value your eternal soul)tonic water and a twist of lime, and gin club soda with a twist of lime, and gin 7-up, with fruit juice added, and vodka citra (you don't need anything to mix with citra, its heroin in a 20 oz. bottle)

OH MY GOD!I just tried the red Mountain Dew It rocked my worldview, it kicked my ass, it made me cream my shorts. In short, it is nothing less than the preferred beverage of deities.

Pepsi Max is sugar free Pepsi (as opposed to Diet which still has some sugar in) with extra caffiene.Dr Pepper is fantastic, and Red Bull ROCKS For the uninitiated it's got the caffiene of 3 cans of Wax Tadpole in a 250ml can, the sugar of a box of peeps & tastes like cough medicine. Put it in vodka & you get hammered quickly. Drink more than 3 cans in a day & you get the shakes when you come down. Lovely Stuff. Edited cause I'm crap at HTML

Sundrop!Failing that, Coke, not out of a can, please. Whatever happened to putting soda in bottles so it tastes good? I now buy Coke in 8 oz. bottles and it's so much nicer than the canned stuff. CAN DOES NOT TASTE GOOD. I tried Ale-8-1. It was interesting, but not my thing. I like Red Bull. It doesn't try to taste like anything else. Same goes for Blue Ox. I've tried, I think, every 8oz can of caffinated happiness. There's a goodish amount of caffiene in there. But, the best way to get really wired for me is Water Joe.

Ah, yes, Red Bull. Great stuff.In the Energy Drink department, though, I recommend Hansen's; ALMOST all the kick of Red Bull (good enough for me) and it's the only Energy Drink I've tried (and I think I've tried them all) that doesn't taste like shite.

Oh my, Owlet. I'm going to have to investigate whether my mother gave someone up for adoption before my sister and I came along.Surely you've heard that the Chinese translation of Coca-Cola is "Bite the wax tadpole." It's even the name of an L7 song. Bite the wax, bite the wax tadpole ...

I think someone pointed out a link to the snopes article about that before. I've always been very impressed by Coke's official Chinese translation: "to allow the mouth to be able to rejoice" or something like that. That's pretty good, in my opinion. But if you want, you can continue with the wax tadpole thing. IP: Logged |

Red Bull is my friend. My very, very good friend. I would like to buy Red Bull a drink. Here, Red Bull, have a bit of Absolut. There. Absolut Bull! Swweeeeet.I don't drink Coke. When I was in college, they mailed me an empty "new design" bottle with two "letters" on glossy paper stuck in a plastic envelope in a glossy cardboard box wrapped in plastic. I don't even think there was a coupon in here, just "Hey, college student! Look at the new bottle! Look how we packaged the packaging for a product we didn't send you! Don't you want a nice Coke now?" For two years after that I consciously boycotted all Coca Cola products. For the record, I think Pepsi tastes better, but I would frankly prefer to avoid cola altogether. The only thing I want it in is a Colorado Bulldog (goooood driiiiink). Do they call that Pepsi "Max" thing different things in different places? I've only ever seen Pepsi "One" out here. And I can't find caffeinated water out here anywhere anymore. I really liked that stuff. IP: Logged |

The "one" in Pepsi One means one calorie. So in places that measure energy in joules instead of calories, the name "Pepsi One" would make no sense. So they call it "Pepsi Max" instead.I think. I tend to blame the metric system for everything. IP: Logged |

Tried Hansen's. Too syrupysweet with corn syrup and chemicals. Tastes like someone took the Surge idea a couple of steps further. Red Bull is all sucrose and glucose. No corn syrup. It still tastes weird, but I can deal with that.Sobe Adrenaline is ok too. I think my favorite of the lot is probably Blue Ox, with Red Bull/Adrenaline second. At least I can get this stuff in Chicago. Sundrop is bottled in a western Chicago suburb, yet I have imported 100% of the Sundrop I have had in six months from across the WI border.

Caffeine is overrated.Why would I drink anything just because it is the enemy of sleep? I like sleep. Sleep is my friend. The enemy of my friend is my enemy. Or something. Then again, I can drink 4 cups of coffee, walk over to the couch and sleep. I tend to spin like a dissed author in his grave while doing so, but I do sleep. But yeah. Caffeine addiction is, to me, pretty silly.------------------

I just wanted to vouch for the existance of Cel-Ray soda. It's a Dr. Brown's soda, which, judging from where I seem to remember buying it, seems to be a kosher brand of soda targeted at Jewish deli-type places. I remember getting it mostly at kosher delis/bagel shops and at the little restaurant at the JCC. I think they also sell it at the local grocery store that sells kosher things. Note that all my information is about 3 years old, so I have no idea if this soda still exists. I tend not to drink soda, but my favorite by far is Orangina. It rocks from here to next week and back without breaking a sweat. My other favorite sodas are all combinations I came up with at some point or other. One of my favorites is to mix Sprite and Pink Lemonade. It's pink! It's fizzy! It causes others at your table to wonder where you got it! What could be better? One other thing I believe in is mixed Surge and Orange Juice. It tastes nasty, it makes your stomach feel odd, but after a glass or two you're most certainly awake. Some points in the school year, this is all one could want out of a beverage. Oh, I'm also fond of Ginger Beer. My favorite teacher in high school used to drink it while she lectured. Tended to catch the attention of new students, since the bottle looks as though it would contain normal beer. Trader Joe's even attempted to card me while buying it a few times. That's always fun.

Well said! I love that stuff, too. Mainly because somewhere between the ages of 20 and 24, Squirt became too strong for me. But Orangina ... mmm ... unchemically refreshing! (I wanted to add that I recently tried Manzana Mia, an apple-flavored Coca-Cola product that I will henceforth stay away from. Tastes like fizzy apple juice and is nowhere near Blue Sky in the fruity soda market. Mmm, Blue Sky.) Ginger beer can be very good or very bad, and I'm hardly ever in the mood to find out which it'll be. :[ IP: Logged |

I don't drink much in the way of fizzy these days. If it's non alcoholic and cold, it'll be water or grapefruit juice. If hot, it'll be tea or coffee.If I do go for fizz it'll be:
Orangina (if I can get it)
Diet Coke
7-Up or Sprite (don't really care which)

Hi, my name is Space, and I'm a caffiene addict. I love sleep, also. Unfortunately, my body loves it a bit too much, and attempts to sleep while I am preforming important activities like working, studying, and explaining just *how* I ended up with that dead body in my trunk, officer. Night owls do not do well on a morning lark routine without caffiene. But, caffiene's expensive, and I'm broke, so I'm cutting down now. IP: Logged |

Red Bull tastes good? Are you all on crank? That shit is nasty! Bad! Icky! Ugly! I tried it once. And I'm still trying to scrub the taste off my tongue. Want to get an idea of what it tastes like, without having to buy any? Ok. Get some Pepto Bismal, crush up some Tart 'n' Tiny candy, crush up some of the generic brand Tums, add the sweat from a horny toad mix well and drink. Yum!

Cheat: don't drink the Orangina. If you're that allergic to oranges, don't drink Orangina. It's pretty much actual orange juice mixed with soda water. Orange pop has almost no actual oranges in it. If you're allergic to orange juice, don't drink Orangina.But Orangina is good stuff (in my opinion)...it's not nearly as sweet as most soft drinks, which is a very good thing. Limonata is good, but is far too sweet. In the end, the best fizzy drink is Calistoga flavored sparkling water. Not the kind with juice in it, but the kind that is clear fizzy water with some sort of natural flavoring that makes it taste like water with the essence of cherry, or lime, or lemon. It's the only beverage I've had in which you can actually taste a significant difference between the lime-flavored one and the lemon-flavored one. It just tastes most like actual fruit, and is non-caloric, to boot. IP: Logged |
