Rarely ever drink a “coke” anymore. Most Texans call any soft drink a “coke”. 🤠

Much rather have ice water or iced tea.

When I do want one, I stop by Sonic for a Large Dr Pepper with lots of ice.

The only soft drink I’ll drink out of any kind of bottle is original Coke in the small glass bottles or Dr Pepper with pure cane sugar made over in Dublin, TX. In a glass bottle, of course.

Drinking a soda out of a plastic bottle just st ruins the taste for me.

Can remember when Pepsi acquired the flavor & it was distributed on a large scale, 1964 according to Wiki. Liked it after getting over the shock of tasting something besides cola or orange soda.

Always bottled then, & the big fun was reading the bottle as it had bottled by; some examples... Cousin Jeb & Essie, Hoss & Peggy Sue, etc.

No love for Canada Dry or Ginger Ale.

When I was a kid, like 2nd or 3rd grade, was in the hospital for a few weeks because they thought I had Crohns disease.

Drank at least 1/day for a long dang time until 3 months ago. Had a heart attack and decided it was one of the items that needed to go. I'll have a Sprite on occasion. Only caffeine I have now is 1 cup of coffee in the morning at work. Lost 15 lbs in the first 3 weeks after quitting.

Muskegman - my breakfast of champions was a cup of coffee and a cigarette. Gave up the smoking also after the attack.

Our 19 year old daughter has never tolerated it well.
At about 4 I gave her the last 1/4 of a bottle,
"Mamma, wantaseemeruntothegarden?"
Whoosh, whoosh,
"Daddy, wannaseemeruntotheappletree?"
Whoosh,whoosh.
"Momma, wanna...."

We stayed out in the yard until the poor kid ran completely out of gas.
After that "No more Dew!"

Evidently, it hasn't changed.
Last weekend she and her boyfriend were out with friends, she got tired
and bought a bottle. After about half of it, her mouth started running,
her botfriend told me "I could hear you telling the story of her as a kid".
He confiscated the stuff and got her a Sprite.

If you mix Mountain Dew with any cheap whiskey it becomes very drinkable. Pretty much every mental case I ever dealt with had a big bottle of Mountain Dew for breakfast. I can't think of one exception.

I don't remember what company tried to market a soft drink called Quirst. It was a similar flavor as Squirt. But it started a law suit because it used the same letters as Squirt. I'm not sure either who made Squirt, but the lawsuit ended the Quirst brand.

Soda got the term pop because when someone would open a glass bottle by removing the bottle cap with a bottle opener, because of the co2 gas ( carbonation ) pressure, it would make a popping noise. The warmer it was, the louder the pop.

I used to work for Seven up years ago. Coca cola offered me a office job with eight secretaries. My job was to knock seven up.

Sundrop? I can’t believe some of you guys have even heard of it.


I hauled and unloaded thousands of cases of Sundrop when I worked for the bottler in Gastonia, NC. We were the largest Sundrop distributor in the US. Glass bottles and wooden crates were still used in the 70s when I first started. Nothing better than an ice cold Sundrop, made with real sugar, out of a glass bottle, straight off the production line.

Nowadays I can’t handle all the caffeine in it and have switched over to Mountain Dew but only every now and then.

Sundrop is the best drink out there, and I live in the heart of Cheerwine country. Cheerwine is certainly a strong 2nd!

Sounds like you’re up around Salisbury. We also sold a lot of Cheerwine. When I started we also sold Nugrape, real Orange Crush in the brown bottle, Double Cola, RC cola and others which are long gone.

Yep, Rowan County. Cheerwine festival is next Saturday. I’m sure we will be there. I hope Cheerwine never sells out to the big guys.

Mountain Dew is a breakfast drink, it has orange juice in it. Pour a little in your juice to spruce it up a little. When it first came out it had orange pulp floating in it. Ya I know, it's not too good for you.

Got a small town bottler up here in Shawano Wi (pronounced Shawn-oh) that distributes Sun Drop in glass bottles and cans... I buy the cans... For whatever reason, It seems to taste better and has more fizz than the bottles...

I know a guy who is designing a robot arm for Microsoft.
He is way past me in software, thermodynamics, ect. and knowledge of ketosis.

And yet he drinks Mountain Dew.

I hunt with a guy who is retired machinist.
He is way past me in mill operation, car rebuilds, and deer hunting.

And yet he drinks Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew, with $2.7 billion in annual sales, ranks No. 6 in popularity in the nation, behind Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper and Diet Pepsi.

If you go down the road a bit to Clintonville, Wi., that's about all the bars serve is Sun Drop. Pepsi and Coke are like foreign sodas.

I’d never heard of cheerwine. Looked it up and it sounds delicious, but I guess nobody sells it up here lol.

Mt Dew has 170 calories a can.
Coke is 140
Guinness is 120
Skim milk is 119

Calories are calories - doesn't matter much what you get them from.

Andrew, I think, of all of the flavoured, full test sodas, gingerale has the least calories !
