best/worst soft drink ever

[TMurphy]

Best: Dr. Pepper. Absolutely love the stuff!

Worst: Diet Vanilla Coke. The original Vanilla Coke was bad....but the diet version....gross.

[THE TUBA]

Best: Coke.
It's been my drink ever since I was a pup.
Yep, I'm a Coke-a-holic. I can quit, but I don't want to.

The King of Sodas

[The Big Ben]

OK, in my opinion:
Worst:Tab
Don't know if it's made anymore. If not, GOOD!
Tasted like something that was watered down in order to mimic watered down Coke.

Hmmmm. I haven't seen it for awhile either. I think CoCola replaced it with Diet Coke. I liked it.

Worst: Root Beer- any variety. My brother loves the stuff so I let him drink all of mine.

Best: Coke.
It's been my drink ever since I was a pup.
Yep, I'm a Coke-a-holic. I can quit, but I don't want to.

Coke is too sweet for me. I never drank it as a kid so I guess I never developed a sweet tooth for it (or Pepsi).

Best: I've developed a taste for store brand black cherry soda. Most any brand.
Diet Pepsi is good too.

Worst:Mt. Dew Code Red/Other non-Orignal Mountain dew variants (except Livewire)
Best: Coke Zero/Coke (regular). I am quite fond of Coke zero, I drink way too much of it to be healthy.

Coca-Cola is the best. The soda on the far right of this photo (the one with the tuba) is by far the worst. It almost made me vomit when I tried it.

Worst: Big Red cream soda. Tastes like absolute garbage. Once had a 12 pack and I had to basically chug it down to get rid of it. Doesn't even resemble real cream soda.
Best: That stuff from Canada, known as Jones Cream Soda. Expesive, but amazing.

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your Big Red drinking experience. I shall send you $1,000,000 in Monopoly Money so that you may attempt to purchase some other beverage more to your liking. (My wife will not drink Big Red unless you hold a loaded weapon to her head. As I said, I am a highly biased South Texas boy in this regard!)

Big Red rocks!

I may be reading your post wrong, but I believe he is talking about the "Big Red: Cream Soda" that is available. It is a variant of Big Red, and IMO, a bad one. If that is the stuff you were referring to, then my apologies.

Back to subject:

Best: I have many that I really enjoy, but I always go for Sunkist if it's available.

Worst: Diet A&W Root Beer. A&W is above and beyond my favorite root beer to drink. However, their diet just about made me vomit the first time I drank it.

[Nick Pierce]

Best: Vanilla Cream soda.

Worst: if energy drinks count, Red Bull.

[eupher61]

Best: none of 'em, but I drink Dr Pepper far too much

worst: any caffeine free/diet beverage. Colored water with fake flavor??

[scouterbill]

Worst: Fresca...the lemony version of Tab...mmmm

Finally someone reached back to remember the absolute worst ever. Not quite lemony, but a hint of grapefruit? Definitely no Sugar!

Best: you've hinted around it, IBC Root Beer

[oldbandnerd]

Best soft drink :

You folks in N.C. know what Sundrop is. Looks like Moutain Dew but way better.

[bort]

Best: Josta...last made by Pepsi about 10 years ago. I loved this stuff.



Worst: Any orange soda. I just don't "get" it, if I want orange, I'll buy juice.

[lgb&dtuba]

I don't know about the best, but the worst was some stuff I don't remember the name of that they gave us on the Coca-Cola tour in Atlanta. They even said it was terrible and they only sold it somewhere in the far east, so it's not available around here. Thankfully.

It took a number of beers to get the taste of that stuff out of my mouth.

[Uncle Buck]

Hate to be a "go along with the crowd" kind of guy, but here's another vote for plain-old-Coke as best. Some things really are just that good.

I don't have a vote for worst.

[timdicarlo]

Best: Orange Crush, hands down. Dunk a scoop of French vanilla ice cream in there, and you have yourself one hell of a float.

Worst: Dead tie between TaB and Mountain Dew: Code Red. TaB tastes like ditch water with bubbles and Code Red tastes like carbonated cough syrup. Both are exquisitely nauseating.

[Tubaryan12]

Best: Josta...last made by Pepsi about 10 years ago. I loved this stuff.

YES! without question, the best.

The worst is diet Red Bull.

YES! without question, the best.

The worst is diet Red Bull.

Awesome! Almost no one remembers Josta!

[windshieldbug]

Making their country more lead free, one bottle at a time.

[dtemp]

Best: Room temperature Fresca

Worst: OK Soda. We were one of the few test markets for this stuff.

Blech!

If any of y'all find yourself in Atlanta, the Coke museum is a quite neat experience. You can sample coke products from all over the world.

Worst: Beverly


Best: Diet Coke Plus (yeah, really)
