And...don't forget to put peanuts in the glass bottles of Coke.

I have never heard this. Guess there's something for me to try next time.

I think it's a southern thang. But it is delicious. Roasted without the red skins preferably.
I like salty cashews in Pepsi.. There was a barbara mandresll song in fhe 1980s that mentioned putting peanuts in my coke

Takes sweet-and-salty, but looks nasty. Tried it once, but I can't get over the sight and taste of objects floating in my drink.

So, you don't like ice in your drinks either? :bigass:

Not really, unless I have a straw.

Have any of you tried the Lester's Fixin's Maple Bacon, Sweet Corn, or Ranch Dressing sodas?

The sweet corn is undrinkable
the ranch dressing tastes like drinking a crayon
The maple bacon is delicious.  It's heavier on the maple, with a hint of a smoky flavor.
I'm never wrong, just wildly inaccurate.

I tried the bacon, and it had a sweet/smoky initial taste, but a body and aftertaste like varnish.

Anyone remember when Hubba Bubba put out a soda that tasted like bubble gum? This was in the late '80s/early '90s.
Might as well face it, pooing is cool

Yep.  It was actually a Canfield's soda that licensed the Hubba Bubba name.  It was very delicious.  I always wanted to make a float with it.

Jones now has a bubble gum soda, but it doesn't really taste the same.

And Coke Zero is no more

www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2017/07/26/coca-cola-reboots-coke-zero-drink-with-new-recipe-name.html

Seems to be more marketing than an actual change.  New product will be "Coca-Cola Zero Sugar" and come in a traditional red and white package, with a black splash to denote the diet nature.  New marketing spin is "Coca-Cola comes in a couple of variants- one with sugar and one without." rather than marketing it as a seperate product.    On shelves by August.

I am one of the 7. It was originally the option for "Other", but Dr. Pepper took its place, moving "Other" down one. (I don't drink soda.)

I didn't vote originally, but just did because you insulted my favorite soda. Actually, I like Cherry Dr. Pepper better, especially with some Captain Morgan...

It's honestly the best of the listed bunch, so I just chose it rather than "Other".

Without being hyperbolic, not every flavor is for everyone.

I've drank Diet Coke for so long that I cannot tolerate the taste of regular sugared pops like Coke and Pepsi. Because Coke Zero tastes so much like regular Coke, I don't drink it. I can't foresee myself drinking this new Coke Zero Sugar stuff. I just hope they don't do away with Diet Coke as it currently exists.

As for Dr Pepper, I've found that the diet version is probably closer in taste to the regular version than any other soft drink, with the possible exception of Vernors.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

+1 on the Dr. Pepper/rum combo. Good stuff.

Dr. Pepper was also my vote because it is the best one of the available options.

Vanilla Coke or regular Coke. Occasionally Vernors or A & W Root Beer.

I didn't vote because the only time I ever drink soda is when I drink liquor  :) and it's usually bourbon or brandy with Pepsi

I don't care. I'll drink whatever type of soda, pop, coke - you name it, I'll try it.

However, for the sake of my teeth, I had to give it up. That doesn't mean I'll still have some when I get the chance.
