Before COVID, Coca-Cola all the way. Not too sweet, and was often more consistent in cans and bottles.
Something happened after COVID, and it no longer tastes the same. I don't know if this was the effects of the illness, or a change in manufacturing.
... Right now, it's Dr. Pepper (or Cheerwine, if I can find it). Sharp bite, good flavor, doesn't really have an analog with other drinks. However, I can buy one bottle and it be perfect, and buy another bottle the next day and it be less carbonated than it needs to be, or too sweet and syrupy... And I can't ever tell why.
I'm partial to Vanilla Coke, IBC Root Beer and Barq's in a bottle. I had a bottle of Mystic River Root Beer years ago and it still is my favorite. Finally fresh sasparilla yum. Oh an Birch Beer of any kind. I don't really drink soft drinks often, but those are my favs.
Black Cherry Ginger Ale by Canada Dry
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.
Natural: Ginger+orange kombucha & homemade tonic water. Cold brew nitro.
(Nitro is soft... Right?)
Store bought: Canada Dry tonic.
Tonic has to be the best soft drink ever, once used to actually treat sickness now I can just have it with my cold brew or espresso everyday without the sugar high.
Regular Baja blast or Mexican coke. Not the sniffing kind.
Personally a "softer" root beer is generally my go-to.
I used to really like Canadian mountain dew before they were able to sell US mountain dew here and abandoned the Canadian one. It was so much better without caffeine. But that's their whole gimmick. Except it sold totally fine in Canada without it.
I really enjoy olipop's imitation dr pepper
Faygo pineapple or cotton candy flavour. Yes, that exists.
Late to the party, but chinotto. I don't have a favorite brand yet but everything I've tried, I like. The blend of spice and bitter is fantastic.
Give me a nice local root beer.
In terms of mass production, Sunkist was my favorite. I don't really drink any any more though.
This guy fucks
Here in Morocco, there's a soda brand called Ice. It's pretty good, but that name is just absolutely ridiculous.
Fresca.
Point vanilla cream soda
Guaraná sodas (from any brand).
Wild Cherry Pepsi all day.
