POP Question

I have a question now....

Soda (or pop for you midwesterners I guess)

Regular
Diet
Or Zero/MAX

Also.... do you prefer Coke products- or Pepsi products- and yes it matters.


My own personal taste:
1.) Regular pepsi
2.) Fresca/Sprite Zero
3.) Pepsi max- I don't like diets... at all.

In order of deliciousness and calorie needs- I chose regular pepsi first- followed by lower calorie subs if I can't work it into my day and I need some fizzy satisfcation.

    My name is Jason, and I approve this post.

    Pepsi products, FTW! I like Pepsi Max, but also have the occasional regular Pepsi.

    Diet Pepsi, preferably caffeine-free. I will have it once or twice a week and no one can stop me, dammit!

    My preferences:
    1. Diet cherry 7-up
    2. Diet Mt Dew
    3. Diet Coke

    I prefer diet--it's what I grew up with--but will drink a Zero/Max if I don't like the diet selections.

    ETA: Pepsi or Coke is fine with me.

    burger- I want a soda.

    I prefer Dr. Pepper... then it's Cherry Coke... then Sprite... then Cherry Coke Zero... But really, I will drink most versions of soda as long as it's not diet... I just can't do diet... I can do the almost diets but not full diet..

    I'm with you on the can thing... Why is it that canned sodas taste better than bottled, but bottled beer taste better than canned? lol...

    FYI... I'd rather have draught beer, though.

    Diet Pepsi.

    Diet Coke only when it's the only option.

    Diet Seagram's Ginger Ale when I remember that I like that too.

    ALL TEH TOXIC THINGS

    The fizz seem to be the draw for me also. I gave it up when I started losing weight in 2009, because I would not drink diet and the calories of regular were not my friend then. Now, I drink them, just not as often and I don't mind a few diet.

    Order of preference:
    1) Coke
    2) Coke Zero
    3) Diet Dr Pepper

    When I want one but not sure if I want to use the regular coke calories, I do Coke Zero with a little regular coke. People at Quick Trip look at me strange sometimes, but most people get it :)

    ETA I live in the Midwest and I call it soda. I am not real clear on where the soda/pop line is, but it may be somewhere in Missouri. I live in St. Louis and it's soda, I have a few friends in KC that call it pop

    Does Monster Ultra Zero count? If not, Diet Dr. Pepper, then Coke Zero.

    My fav is Coke Zero and my 2nd is Diet Coke.

    It is a bonus that these are near to 0 on calories but that's not why I drink them. Regular coke and pepsi really hurt my teeth and I feel really thirsty after drinking them.

    I do like Sierra Mist, Sprite, Root Beer, and Ginger Ale once in awhile (yeah, I know these don't really fit in your categories, just putting it out there anyways though :P)

    My preferred fizzy drink is dependent on the "delivery system" (yes, in my world, the packaging affects the flavor, lol):

    Canned: regular Pepsi (w/ HFCS, not the "Real Sugar" one, blech) or regular Dr. Pepper
    Plastic Bottle: Diet Pepsi
    Glass Bottle: Mexican Coke
    Fountain: Diet Coke

    PEPSI all the way! I love it when fountains have the little flavor mixer things to add vanilla to my Pepsi! I usually go with diet pepsi or pepsi max, but sometimes regular is all that will do.

    I am not a soda drinker. I never really was it was just a way to have some alcohol taste better.

    I don't always drink pop, but when I do, it's regular. :) Usually a rootbeer or Dr. Pepper. I dislike the sickening sweet aftertaste of aspartame.

    I was raised in a Coke household. I would be disowned if I ever said I liked Pepsi better.

    For me:
    1. Diet Coke (forevah!!)
    2. Cherry Coke or Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper (I hate regular Dr. Pepper though)
    3. Sprite

    I actually don't like regular coke anymore. I try to drink it and its too sweet. I haven't really latched onto the coke zero thing, I like the taste of diet coke and it works for me.

    Diet A&W Cream Soda!

    I prefer Coke products usually, and I drink diet. I'm so used to that chemical artificial sweetener. Horray for fake sugar!

    I didn't know they make cherry coke zero... I might have to look into that. I love cherry coke, but don't like wasting the calories on it.
