Default What's your favourite soft drink?

My wife and I are on a bit of a crusade at the moment, so we're really into Coke Zero.

I don't think I could stomach full sugar Coke again....

What's your favourite?

Red Bull "soft drink"? I think not.

My all time fav is Vanilla Coke. Why isn't this an option?

And what about Dr. Pepper???

hehe... I started with 5 options... thought after a minute to make more and ran out of options. There are too many brands.

And, seriously, Dr Pepper?? It's an "acquired" taste in my humble opinion.

I cant really stand coca cola unless its mixed with some drink, or its served with a meal.

I was at hungry jacks today, I chose sprite over coke so there we go.

What is Irn Bru? Never heard of it...but then again, I rarely drink "soft drink".

I also like creamy soda, but I much prefer A&W Rootbeer....hmmm.....soooo delicious!

Sugar Free "V" is one of the select few drinks that probably tastes better than the full sugar version and can actually compete on its own.
