Root beer
Brit...oh, that pop. Diet Pepsi. Duh.

Lol. :)

I'm a fan of grape myself. Guilty pleasure.

Leninade.

It's lemonade with a refresing taste of commie.

Beer. Seriously, I have no taste for any of them. Sprite I guess is the least offensive, and if i have to drink tonic that's what I'll have. I really prefer to mix soda water and orange juice if I want a carbonated beveragem or even better champagne and OJ, although it is alcoholic.

Dr Pepper, Diet Vanilla Coke or Diet Lime Coke -- I drink all three happily.

It's called soda. Pop is your dad.

Not everyone calls it soda, get over it. Anyway, my favorite is probably Mountain Dew or Diet Coke.

Dr. Pepper

The Backstreet Boys. ;)

Dr. Pepper isn't as offensive as most, but it is still too sugary, i prefer sprite of the two but it also is too sugary. If I had any interest in tonic I might try Diet Lime Coke, but I don't so I won't. Now coffee . . ..

Oh, you meant soda! I was thinking either pop-music or pop-culture, both of which get a "none" from me.

Here! Here! although I call my dad dead.

Sprite, Coke, Vanilla Coke

And it's POP dammit! ;)

Guinness Extra Stout

Sprite, Coke, Vanilla Coke

Where I'm from it's tonic. Why can't we all get along and call it tonic, which seems to elicit the least hostile response?

Isn't tonic like sparkling water or some other such thing?

I've never heard pop referred to as tonic. What is the tonic in Gin and Tonic then? :confused:

Dr. Pepper or Big Red. Sprites ok. Club soda, suitably modified works too.

and she was OLDSpent a lot my time while growing up in Maine, where tonic is still common in some areas.

Pop? Lol, you Yankees and you're strange words for things. Anyway, I like Root Beer.

Coke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pepsi sucks.

The tonic in Gin and Tonic is tonic water, a type of water with quinine in it to give it a bite. Very few people like straight tonic water.

Coke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pepsi sucks.

CI You are wrong: they BOTH suck.

Jim

I dont drink much soft drinks anymore - i mostly drink green tea.

hmmm i grew up in maine
ellsworth area
ive had to train myself not to call it tonic
i usually use "soda" now
i dont like "pop"

I've never heard of it being called tonic before. But anyway, here's an idea of what America calls pop/soda/coke/other:

POP3... even though IMAP is better... ;)

My favorite would be Jolt, except that I can't have it anymore since I went on the Atkins diet. So the only mainstream soda I can drink is any flavor of diet rite (which I would prefer the cherry, but I can't find it here so I have to make do with cola and white grape).

Dr. Pepper, and the offshoot Red Fusion.

I think my body has mutated that I can now survive on pop alone. Who needs water?

It's called soda. Pop is your dad.

Most people in the Midwest call it pop.

Root Beer is the best. There is no comparison. It's the king of pops.

Ahhh...a man of good taste, eh? You have even better taste if you like root beer floats, too!

By the way, for those who answered, 'root beer,' which brand?

I like Barq's, followed by A&W, followed by Mug.

I like root beer best.

A & W, followed by Barq's, followed by mug.

Feeling jovial today are we roach-busters?

Whoa, I just got an awesome idea. They've got root beer floats, right? So what about beer floats? Granted, it would taste awful, but that's why you'd have bratwurst flavored ice cream! It'd be great!

Ummmmm...wait just a minute.....I know it will come to me.......which one do I like now........

Heathen! You're one of them terrorists president Bush and those great folks at Fox news tell me about aren't you? Aren't you?!?!

Indeed, my friend! I hope everyone else is feeling jovial, too! :)

Whoa, I just got an awesome idea. They've got root beer floats, right? So what about beer floats? Granted, it would taste awful, but that's why you'd have bratwurst flavored ice cream! It'd be great!Actually I'm partial to good stout with a scoop of vanilla ice cream although I haven't had one in years, it tastes rather good ,you should give it a try. I forget where exactly I came across it, a bar somewhere in North America. A coffee stout was the best I tasted, but I really haven't experimented to find the objective best. Hmm, I wonder why I didn't have more of those, thanks for reminding of them.

Well...if SOBE counts...

My ex-friend used to make "GP Floats." (He invented them himself)

Here are the ingredients:

Orange sherbert
Strawberry syrup
Diet coke
Chocolate whipped cream
Lemon juice

Is he sick, or what!?

Oh. I thought this thread was about music. We call it "soft drink" where I come from.

V or Portello ,then.

regular coke, vanilla coke, cherry coke.

coke is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than pepsi.

Mmm... Cherry coke is good too.

I am to told that US Cherry Coke is better than Australian Cherry Coke though.

I think they may have stopped selling it here anyway.
