Delaware Punch. Tried it a few times i the '60s and, yes, it was still horrible. May not even be made anymore.

But it isn't carbonated...so it isn't a soda. Right? Wrong? Indifferent?

Mine has to be Squirt. Big Red is actually one of my favorite sodas.

I don't like most of the fruit-flavored colas, like Cherry Coke or Vanilla Coke or the like. As a general matter I drink only diet soda because the non-diet stuff is simply too sweet for my taste, so I guess if there were an option for "all non-diet stuff" I might vote for that. Last week I bought a four-pack of non-diet IBC Root Beer because I had a barbecue sauce recipe that called for root beer. I drank the extra that wasn't needed for the recipe and I found it unbelievably sweet and hard to drink.

I therefore didn't vote in the poll because my choice would be "other."

I've never had anything called "pop," BTW. Not sure what "pop" is.  :biggrin:

Tonight I thought of a soda I despise more than any of the ones mentioned so far in this thread: Yoohoo chocolate soda. Foul stuff.

Where I grew up in West Virginia, most everybody called it "coke" no matter what brand or flavor of drink.  Orange coke, Grape coke, Red coke and even some folks would use the term "Lemon-lime coke" for 7Up and Sprite.  My folks were from Central West Virginia, and they couldn't stand this (probably because it sounded too backwards).  I always thought this was funny, because most folks preferred RC Cola back in those days.  Which my dad always called "R-O-C coca-cola".  Go figure.

Kind of like the use of the terms "mailman" and weatherman" to refer to the person doing that job regardless of the actual individual's sex. Or, for that matter, "beer girl" to refer to the person who drives the beer cart at the golf course (although I can't say I recall ever having seen a male driving a beer cart).

Diet soda is the worst.
I actually prefer diet soda.
When I was younger than you, diet soda wasn't that bad.

I should note that I still drink Dr. Pepper. It was handed to me whenever a fast food joint was out of other options. I will most likely drink that or Sprite (of all the options on the list above). Coke is very common here in the Southeast (it was invented up in Columbus, Georgia, by a man from Knoxville, Georgia), of course.

Something I tried at World of Coke, but I can't recall the specific brand.

Huh.  I didn't know that practice extended that far north.  My relatives are "pop" people in eastern KY.

Always thought calling every soda a coke was a little disturbing, in terms of how much control Coca-Cola has over their language.  Doesn't say much for freedom of human thought.

Could be the South African version.  That stuff was terrible.

For me, any diet soda, regardless of brand.

Surge was cool. Anyone remember Surge? It was a green soda that was really popular in the '90s. But then it suddenly dropped off the face of the earth.
Might as well face it, pooing is cool

I haven't had a soda since January  :meh:. But if you drink Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, or anything minty seek help!
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)

Moxie. It's like someone liquidized tobacco and called it soda.

Back during Surge's heyday, it got a reputation for having a ton of caffeine. I was in 5th grade at the time, and we went out to a youth camp that our school sponsored. My mom was one of the counselors they sent along to help watch over everyone.

Late at night there were these two kids that wouldn't stop talking even though it was long after the time everyone was supposed to go to sleep. She went over to get onto them and discovered that one of them had been drinking a concealed can of Surge the entire time. She got mad and grabbed the can and went to the front door of the cabin and threw it against a tree, which made a sound loud enough the adjoining cabins heard it.

Nobody's head was shaped like a Speak'n'spell in the aforementioned story, however.

I've called it "pop" all my life. Either that or "soft drink." "Soda" just seems to be an alien term to me.

Your relatives live in the area that consumes the most Pepsi products per capita in the country. I always feel like a rebel when I drink a Coke product in Pike County.

I had a grandmother who called Coke "Co-Cola."

For better or worse, I consume a lot of diet soda -- but as far as I'm concerned, the all-time worst of that lot was (and is) Tab.  That shit tastes like the weakest cola in the world, but with a truckload of anise added for a licorice-type overall taste -- and there's a damn good reason why there's no licorice soda (at least with wide distribution!).
