Mine is the Orange Cream Coke Zero. I’ll be devastated when they inevitably discontinue it.

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.
Root beer.
Sarsaparilla is also great, if you can find it.
Patrolling the Mojave wasteland almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
I struggle finding good ones. Too many of them are syrupy sweet and don’t have that minty bite.
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.
Root beer. It’s insidious.
Dr Pepper. And Vanilla Coke!
Birch beer, followed by Dr. Pepper and the cranberry ginger ale.
There was this green apple flavored soda that was basically candy but I loved it

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 🤤🤤

I love Moxie, but it’s a regional thing from Maine and it’s rather rare here in the bible belt.
As a mix drink, 1 part gin, 1 part jager, 1 part amaretto, 2 marachino cherries, and 6 parts moxie, wide glass on the rocks. It’s like drinking the holiday season in a snowy evergreen forest.
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.
I still drink it tho (as a zero cal) since it’s basically just Cola of your choice mixed 50/50 with a clear cream 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 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)
