Ginger beer. It's a great drink, and it's helpful if you have a tummy ache.

Manhattan Special Espresso soda. The original energy drink. Three bottles will give you palpitations.
Baja Blast
Dr Pepper, no contest! This past year my company had a change of ceo and the new guy is a little less health conscious so now they stock Dr Pepper!
Jarritos Tamarind is outstanding, also one of my kids favorites!
Lime Diet Coke is back in stores!
Still looking for that legendary Birch Beer I had when I was a kid
Bawls.
I like the soda.
I hate calling in companies to ask if it's in stock. "Excuse me do you have any Bawls?"
Root beer.
Sarsaparilla is also great, if you can find it.
I struggle finding good ones. Too many of them are syrupy sweet and don't have that minty bite.
Patrolling the Mojave wasteland almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
specifically Sprechers
Kutztown Soda Work's Birch Beer by far is my favorite soda. Luckily it is really difficult to find outside of central PA, i am already far too overweight.
Excellent stuff I really miss that but no longer have reason to goto that part of PA
Kutztown soda, Clover farm's icy Tea, Unique Pretzels, so much fantastic regional food out of Berks County.
Root beer. It's insidious.
Those limited Cokes keep breaking my heart. So many of them have been good. The Spice and the Rosalia have been my favs, but the space flavored one and the League of Legends ones were good too.
I also like the Pepsi and Mt Dew with real sugar when I can find them, and Cheerwine also needs wider distribution.
Despite what it sounds like, I don't drink massive amounts of soda, I just like trying the new flavors and regional stuff as I find it.
Birch beer, followed by Dr. Pepper and the cranberry ginger ale.
Zevia. For those not in the loop, it's a beverage brand specializing in refgined sugar-free drinks. They were started with just soda, but have gone on to make other things.
Oh, and for the Orange Cream, they apparently have an Orange Creamsicle flavor, but if you have a nearby Sprouts, you can get it there.
Zevia sodas consist of just carbonated water, stevia, natural flavors, and sometimes citric acid and caffeine for a few of their flavors.
Dr Pepper. And Vanilla Coke!
Kofola , it's less sweet than the others and imo better taste(more mild/herbal?) . hate how every soda has to be ultra sweet.
Yeah the sugar content is too much. I've been looking at making my own sodas but I'm not sure if I can take on another hobby right now.
You could use soda stream to make the soda water and add syrup as you like. That's what I do when I want just something fissy.
i used to like soda, with sugar. but i stopped. i do drink non-sugar varieties, but nothing worth noting. i try to avoid diet, but will try the non-aspartame variety.
Local Kombucha. Yes, I am Canadian.
Vanilla Cola. I don't buy American soda anymore but Coca Cola...I haven't found any of the Vanilla variant in a couple years now anyways.
Vanilla coke is the bomb and I'll be forever resentful that they made it so scarce. There was a brief moment where it came back for me, but it's gone again now.
Lime soda with salt. It's available across India. It's so refreshing.
There are slightly salty carbonated electrolyte soda drinks all over Asia. I wish we had them here.
There are at least 100 Plus different types to try.
I first had 100 Plus while I was sick as a dog in Yangon and it was at least 38C. The family I was staying with hooked me up with 100Plus. It was like a religious experience.
Paulaner Spezi 🤤🤤
Oettinger Malz
There was this green apple flavored soda that was basically candy but I loved it
I don't drink sugarized soda, but I lump Fresca into the soda category.
Lol, fresca is soda. In OP's example they gave a zero calorie soda
Jarritos and it isn't close. The Mandarin flavour. Mexican sugar is next level.
I also think Coke itself is 'underrated' I would go so far as to say it's an elixir. Hungover? Need a pick-me-up? Just want a nice drink with dinner? It's insanely good, probably why it got so popular in the first place. You can say the same for any sugary soft drink though.
I'm practically addicted to Jarritos mandarin and mango flavors. It's hard to buy the 1.5L and not finish them in a day or two, so I just don't buy them anymore. I need to try the guava flavor some day.
1.5l isn't available in my country, but if it was, I'd drink it in one sitting haha
Jarritos is good, but sooooo much sugar
That's what makes it so good haha, I only have it as a treat thankfully it isn't widely available in my country
Jarritos grapefruit, except it's too sweet. That flavor is amazing, I just have to cut it with lime and some soda water (or better, lime and tequila for the best Paloma)
-
Mexican coke if it's fresh and the cane sugar hasn't turned to fructose
-
Root beer - Gotta be sprechers or dog n suds
-
Ting 🤤 and to a lesser extent Kola Champagne, god bless jerk shops
-
Dr Pepper strawberries & cream fucks, but it doesn't come in glass bottles and they really gotta fix that
Creme Soda. Oddly enough the cheapest ones seem to be the best in my opinion.
Seagram's ginger ale is the nectar of the gods.
Canada Dry is also acceptable.
Schweppes is dirty trash water.
I like River Port Olde Style Lime, and sometimes Raspberry, but they’re hard to find, as most places just carry drinks from the big two brands.
Dandelion and Burdock, the Fentiman's one is particularly good.
I like to get the ones with "cane sugar" not corn syrup, otherwise its root beer - probably the only one I'm not too picky about brand.
