calabast, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

The prices for coke and pepsi products has gone up an absurd amount the last few years. Unless they drop back down a bit in price (unlikely) I’m sticking to my sodastream for all my home carbonation needs.

serpineslair,

That’s fair enough. Tbh everything has gone up by absurd amounts, at least where I am.

Is this an ad? Wtf?

serpineslair,

No ad, just friendly discussion. It must be pretty hard to make it through life without naming a single brand.

stankmut, (edited )

It’s only an ad if I don’t like the discussion. Posting about a mechanical keyboard I bought and calling it great? That’s not an ad. If you do it though, that is an ad. Everyone on the internet is a shill except for me.

serpineslair,

Lmao, you had me there for a second.

Valmond, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Water! You can even carbonate it yourself!

serpineslair,

Correct answer!

Pulptastic,

Sparkling water ftw. Do you have a CO2 tank to carbonate?

Valmond,

Yeah a soda stream!

My wife got me a kegerator a couple years ago. It’s amazing! Like $700. Fill up the keg with tap water when you run out (my keg is like 10 gal), refill the CO2 tank every 100 gals or so. I did a math a while back and it’s like 6 cents per glass, not including upfront costs.

Or you can get an adapter to use with a standard CO2 tank with a soda stream machine. Refill those CO2 tanks at your local home brewing supply store, which again is way cheaper than the sodastream CO2

Valmond,

SodaStream user here, that seems like a way better way than building it all from scratch!

Tarquinn2049,

Sometimes… no all times, I wish I also couldn’t taste Bitter 2. Unfortunately when you carbonate water, that is literally the only flavour it has. And it has alot of it. It’s one of the most disgusting flavours to people that can taste it, and completely non-existent to everyone else.

KuroiKaze,

Fellow super taster I share your anguish

davidgro,

That’s exactly my answer to “Which carbonated soft drink is the worst?”

Sunkist and Squirt are my fave mainstream sodas available in my area.

I am on a constant hunt for best craft brew root beer, ginger beer, and birch beer. I recently found a ginger beer in Phoenix that is my reigning favorite for now.

Squirt is amazing. Not only does it have a humorous name, but it’s delicious ice ice cold. They also now have Squirt Zero, which not only is extra humorous as a name, but also very delicious. We use it as a mixer for cocktails.

trafalgar225,

Any recommendations for root beer or birch beer? I’m on the US East Coast. Thanks!

Mostly I just keep an eye out when visiting beer breweries to see who has sodas as non-alcoholic options. I don’t really buy soda to have at home.

Tower is an old-timey New England option, been around for like a century. I like their creme soda too.

If more South towards the Carolinas, Blenheim for ginger beer.

I used to enjoy Boylan’s, and there’s a brand called Journey that made a “Borealis birch beer” which was my favorite

Baja blast zero by a mile

Aquila,

For some reason the zero versions of mtn dew give me a headache. Which is sad because I love mtn dew but refuse to drink the sugar versions

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Yes! It’s so good. I always pick up a few 12 packs when I see it because it only comes around every once in a while

Grayox,
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

Its finally back for good!

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Is it really? Oh, finally!

I never see it, though. I’ll have to look around.

I have to drop my daughter off at dance class for 45 minutes every week. Fortunately there’s a Taco Bell nearby that led me to discover the wonder that is Baja Blast Zero. Now it gives me something to look forward to every week.

Black Cherry Ginger Ale by Canada Dry

reddig33, (edited ) in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Doppelgänger by Maine Root. Real sugar, no caffeine. Similar taste to doctor pepper or pibb.

Mexicane diet. Caffeine, but no sugar or aspartame, similar taste to RC/Diet Pepsi.

AA5B, (edited ) in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Dr Pepper!

But I have to say Jarrito Tamarind soda is really good

LadyLikesSpiders,

I remember when Jarritos was this exotic little mandarin drink, only stocked in one row at my local super market. I’ve loved them since then, and now I see them everywhere in all flavors. Like watching a child grow up :')

Dagwood222, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Manhattan Special Espresso soda.

Made in Brooklyn. Two shots of espresso in carbonated form.

Rhynoplaz, in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

There’s so many cliches, but despite them all, Mountain Dew. Not because it makes me feel Xtreme while I’m playing Call of Duty and eating Doritos on my skateboard, it’s just a much better flavor.

Tarquinn2049, (edited )

I miss Canadian mountain dew. It was just the pop, no caffeine. Turns out caffeine doesn’t taste very good. I mean you would assume that, but it really hit home when the pop I loved all of a sudden added it. Wish they continued to offer a caffeine free version. But I know in the states the caffeine is like their whole marketing thing.

Dr Pepper and Cherry Coke.

serpineslair,

Similar opinion to me. Although I almost always drink Coke Zero, I find Classic a little too sweet. I also love Irn-Bru!
