Currently it is Pepsi Throwback followed by RC Cola and Coke. It's hard for me to find RC around here but I got a 2 litre bottle yesterday and have been sipping on it today.

For a cola drink, I prefer Pepsi.

I enjoy rootbeer from A&W, Barqs, IBC, Dog & Suds and Stewarts.

I like ginger ale once in a while.

For cream soda, several brands are fine BUT the hands-down, very best, beyond the shadow of any doubt, positively best is Sprechers, brewed in Wisconsin and difficult to find in Illinois. You become aware that it is special within a second of opening the bottle - it has a bouquet that says "This is some good cream soda." Best served over crushed ice.

Sprechers also make an orange and cream drink that is quite good (similar to Stewart's).

Sprecher's rootbeer is good also but nothing special.

Have a good day.

In my previous post, I managed to forget to mention root beer. I love a good root beer; my favorite brand is Dog n' Suds , sold at their handful of midwestern drive-ins and some supermarkets. Back in the '60s, we would visit my aunt and uncle who owned an old-fashioned general store in eastern Kentucky, and their store carried a brand of bottled chocolate drink called Choc-Ola; I seem to remember it being based somewhere in southern Indiana. As far as I know, Choc-Ola is long gone, and I sure miss it.

Speaking of Jones Soda...they brought out a holiday pack which included the following flavours; Fruitcake, Cranberry Sauce, Greenbean Casserole, Mashed Potato & Butter, Brussels Sprouts, Wild Herb Stuffing and as someone said Turkey & Gravy, I also heard they brought out a pumkin pie one which I wouldn't mind trying but as for those other flavours....I think I'll pass!

Diet Pepsi, diet Vernors. I trid diet Orange Crush and discovered why it tasted so good, it's not zero carbs and has sugar in it or maybe hfcs

I'm not a real coke or pepsi lover. Also realised recently that I don't like A&W root beer, it has a weird sorta taste like bad coffee, maybe it's just me though.

I have a few favourites:

Welsh's Grape Soda
Barq's Root Beer
Mountain Dew
Stewart's Birch Beer
Jones Strawberry Lime
Jones Cream Soda

I go there a few times a year to try out sodas .. and of course have a pressed cuban. Good sandwich great sodas but the counter service is not the "cheeriest"

I never buy and rarely drink carbonated sugar or diet beverages. But if it is the only choice and there is a variety of them in a tub of ice I would pick out the root beer.

I like RC but Barqs is my favorite. Especially that bottled on the Mississippi Gulf coast. I was a QC tech for a Coke plant for a while and got tired of tasting all of their products after a year or so(I was there for 2 years). Does anyone remember Kickapoo Joy Juice from Dogpatch USA in Arkansas.

Coke Classic is my favorite, followed by Pepsi and then RC Cola. I also like orange drinks like Crush and Nehi. Don't offer me any diet drinks; I can't stand them.

I'm a fan of RC. Along with Sun Drop, that's the first soft drink I remember drinking at my great-grandfather's house. He always kept the two in his pantry.

Not sure what my favorite soda really is, but if I had to choose one, I'd probably go with Cheerwine or Iron Beer.

back in days of yore I used to like Brookdale Soda in NJ; it came in cases of great big tasy bottles and if I recall righht the places that sold it sold nothing else...long gone of course.
last time I was east Stewarts root beer from the real places was still v good- the bottles you can buy at places even here are not close.
my facvorite these days are Hansens Natural sodas- very flavorful , and the diet stuff does not suffer a bi...we always have some hansens here

I have heard about Moxie but have never encountered it. I always thought it was a NYC favorite. Maine never crossed my mind. I still think it is big in NYC though.

Funny it has not made it to the capital region of NYS though as there are so many NYC folk here in the legislature with their staff and entourage. Then again, maybe they don't drink soft drinks which would explain a lot about their behavior.

TFShaw; Dearfolk,
Irony of ironies... Moxie is manufactured by Monarch Beverage, which is headquartered in near-to-me Doraville, Georgia. Try as I might, though, I cannot find it anywhere in these Georgian parts. My first taste of it was on my sole trip to Connecticut: I lucked upon it in a large supermarket in Waterbury (they also carried Eclipse Coffee Syrup!), and it was LOVE at first swig.
My supposition is that it's just expensive enough to make that Monarch purposely keeps its market limited to Maine and wherever it will sell in that proximity. There is, for example, a beer and soda distributor in Pennsylvania that keeps it in stock at all times. If I recollect right, they're somewhere up by The Poconos.
Hmmm... I just read that Moxie has been sold by Monarch to Cornucopia Beverages, which is a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Northern New England. Apparently they are interested in expanding the territory of the drink.
Sodamania in Tampa, Florida keeps Moxie in stock, as do several other mega-soda dealers around the country... Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other cities (WHY not Atlanta?).

Some folks would hypothesize that I like Moxie because it's weird, and that factor does indeed enter my mind... but that's definitely not a deciding one. Yes, Moxie gets my vote... Diet Moxie, specifically.

P. S. I have a few cans left in thr 12-pack sitting on the kitchen table... it was brought down from Maine for me.

I prefer 'Jones'. They use real cane sugar, guess it is considered the healthy soda pop. They have unique combinations of flavors. At Thanksgiving, Jones came out with a - Turkey, gravy, mashed potato, soda pop! I did not have the courage to taste it. If you send them a picture and they like it, they put your picture on the label.

Gingerale, not diet.
Seltzer, to make an egg cream.

NY egg cream:
Take a tall glass
fill 1/4 with Ubet chocolate syrup
pour milk 1/4 up way more.
Fill rest of glass with seltzer
Stir till frothy white foam on top.
Enjoy.

My current favorite is Dr Pepper, both cold and hot. Hot Dr Pepper was promoted heavily in the 60's and was quite a fad for a while. I wonder if I am the only one that still likes it hot?

I had a blueberry/pomegranate Dole Sparkler and was less than impressed with that particular flavor.
