Coca Cola - who likes it, who doesn't ?

[iguana_tonante]

I don't like soda very much, I'll have one with pizza, but that's it. when I'm out and having a pizza, which means a couple of times a month. Usually it's Coke, but I'm not that picky.

Outside of meals, my carbonated drink of choice is Chinotto.

I like Coke but I would like it more if it was not so sweet.

I like adding a bit of lemon.

Do Chinotto drinks show up in Greece? Because given your preferences, you might like it.

Coke is fine, but Dr. Pepper (aka Texas Red Wine) is the best. This year, they've re-released "Heritage" Dr. Pepper--the old Waco recipe with real sugar, not corn syrup. I much prefer that. I hope they keep making it that way.

^I liked Crystal Pepsi, too.

Coke is it for me, though I prefer the Mexican Cokes with real sugar. More expensive, and I can usually only get them at Wegman's. I drink Coke Zero most of the time these days, it's the closest to real Coke.

Worst ever- Tab Clear. Ugh.

When I could eat them, I used to enjoy drinking an ice cold Coke with a banana Moon Pie.

Blasphemy! Don't you know that you're supposed to drink RC Cola with a Moon Pie???

From the fountain at a restaurant regular Coke and Pepsi taste so similar to me I don't care which is on the menu. While the artificial sweeteners make the diet versions sweet, there's still some element of flavor missing. I'm thinking cane sugar and hfcs are providing a thickening effect the artificial sweeteners lack.

For some reason Coke seems to have more trouble achieving the same taste in a can though. From my perspective that problem was solved with the "new" Coke, but after the reintroduction of Coca-Cola Classic the "new" coke was gradually discontinued (and then "Classic" dropped from the classic formula's labels). I'll only drink canned Coke if there are no other options.

The two grocery chains with stores close to my home have house brand colas (in addition to other flavors). Most of the time name brands, including third entry RC Cola, have some pretty high prices. They do occasionally have discounts, which I think may be associated with a growing backlog of packages approaching the "best by..." date on the packaging. The normal price on the house colas are much more reasonable, but I will only buy house brand cola from one of the chains, as the other chain's house brand tastes like canned Coke. A couple of years ago that other chain had an alternate cola flavor that tasted like Pepsi and the discontinued new Coke.

I'm a Root Beer guy. I don't usually care much which brand it is, but Barqs is my least favorite.

I'm not convinced Barqs ia actually rootbeer. Barqs doesn't taste anything like any other rootbeer I've tried.

I'm not fond of cola, and I'd not drink Diet Coke even if I did like the flavor; that stuff is poison. I do like the occasional root beer or Italian soda though.

A&W for the win!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Honestly, I drink about four soft drinks a year - usually cola (sometimes root beer). I drink coffee by the gallon.

 

[Defcon]

I drink both Pepsi and Coke.

But my favorite variations are Coca Cola Cherry and Mezzo Mix.

 

[kirsten187]

Diet Coke for me, the regular stuff tastes nasty. Probably because I'm not used to it though

I don't drink much soda anymore, but when I do it's Coke. I think Coke Zero is very good. It's not quite there yet, but it's pretty damn close.

I hate Pepsi.

I used to drink coke incessantly, but I quit drinking soda in college...

Although, for about a year now, every few months I'll go to WM and pick up one of those glass six packs of 8 oz glasses. There's fewer of them, they're less than a can, they taste EVEN better, and I pace myself and really enjoy them if I drink them very rarely.

It really is. My dad started drinking it when he found out he was diabetic, and says he can't tell the difference.

I hate Pepsi.

I don't like Pepsi much at all, either...but for some reason, I love Diet Pepsi. Not as much as Coke Zero, though.

Same here. I drink Coke over Pepsi, but I hate Diet Coke and drink Diet Pepsi, instead. I do take Coke Zero over Diet Pepsi, though. Coke Zero reminds me a bit of TAB.

Moving to Misc.

This is clearly a TNZ topic.

I've had Brio Chinotto. It's pretty good.

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

I am pretty much a soda addict so I am not particularly discriminating in what I don't drink. Being a diabetic with sleep problems though these days I tend to drink only caffeine-free diet sodas. I am drinking diet A&W root beer right now.

A great irony in my life is as kids we weren't allowed to drink Pepsi because my dad worked for the Cocas-Cola company. To be honest now I kind of prefer Pepsi.

 

[timothy]

I will allways love coke but when you need a breake now and then I go mountin dew . also love a&w as rootbeer . and If I am out at a bar a sam adams or a budwiser or even crown royal . tonight it's mountin dew!!!!!!

 

[Aldo]

I loved New Coke. I'm still upset they took it off the market...



Seriously though, it depends really. When I'm looking for something sweet I'll go with Pepsi, but most of the time I prefer Coke.
