American dr pepper is the ****ing **** and pretty much the only soda I buy nowadays, expensive as **** but when 33cl can costs about as much as a 1.5l bottle of coke it keeps my consumption down. Pepsi over coke.

I prefer Pepsi, but...man. There's just something about getting a fresh Coke and having it burn your throat as it goes down. I don't drink Coke that often, but when I do I get either the McDonald's ones or a really cold, almost frozen can from the fridge. That **** burns.

I have drank Mt. Dew for years.  I have been cutting down on my consumption though.  Not looking to quit quite yet, just drinking less.  I don't know if it is the water from different bottling facilities, or if it has to do with surface area, but I can taste the difference between can, 20oz bottle, 24oz bottle, and 2 L.  The best by far is in cans from the Middle East with Hebrew labels.  That stuff is like crack, the orange juice is an up front prominent flavor instead of something almost in the background.

But as far as colas go, RC Cola>Pepsi>Coke.  I refuse to drink anything diet though.

I still want to try Russian Coke, I hear it doesn't taste as good, but does contain Vodka.

On the extremely rare occasion that I have a carbonated soft drink, it is a tonic (aka Quinine water). Don't like it with gin any more.

Not until you are 18 or 16 or whatever the legal age is in Indonesia, if there is even a legal age. Or maybe never depending on spiritual beliefs.

I am indeed a dude. I do not identify with any other gender. I do not have periods. Yes, that picture is me.

Ramune?

YES. That's the drink with the little glass ball at the top right?

Also has anyone ever tried Clearly Canadian? I can't find them anywhere any more.

Pretty sure they were really popular in the 90's maybe even earlier. I haven't seen any recently so I'm not sure if they've limited production to certain areas, or aren't producing it any more.

You used to be able to buy it everywhere :(

Depends. Where'd you buy it? From a grocery store in the hood or at a Target in the 'burbs? The latter, I've found, isn't as good.

I get mine from the Mexican grocery store just down the road from my house.  They have way better produce than the gringo supermarkets and the girls there are hotter, so its a win-win.

It really depends on the situation.

Pepsi tastes better, but that is because it is sweeter, so I will only have it with snacks and take sips of it. Any other way is too cloying.
Coke is a bit smoother and more tolerable in larger quantities, so it goes well with a meal.

Coke has always been the better tasting to me. Vanilla, from a can and super cold.

Coke also bottle the HFCS (corn syrup) Coke Classic into bottles and many people think it's the same as Mexican Coke. It's not, it's just normal (HFCS) Coke Classic. If you find the right stores, during certain Jewish holidays, you can find American made Coca Cola Classic made with real sugar, however it often sells out on the first day.

The Mexi-Coke has and added white sticker with ingredients, which Coke adds to it so it can be imported from Mexico. American made one shave the ingredients already printed on the bottle.

It doesn't matter if you get it at the Mexican food store, or Walmart, it's all the same recipe. However, some of the Mexican stores, could be getting it from a different bottler (slightly different filtered water), and they use recycled bottles, whereas the officially imported ones always have a new bottle. From what I am seeing, the unofficial ones are getting harder and harder to find as it's easier and much cheaper to get it right from the local distributor.

10 years ago, one store here went from a bit over $1 a bottle to $2.25 a bottle for Mexi-Coke in a little over a years time,  and not only was it still going up due to shipping fees, it was becoming harder and harder to get it at all. They would go months without any. And unfortunately, there isn't a Mexican food store on every other corner here like where I used to live.

Mexi-Coke is closer to what Coca Cola was decades ago, before New Coke, which is why the bottle doesn't say "Classic".

When Coke reformulated to New Coke it was a disaster for them, while people preferred the taste, they were angry over them changing something so iconic. When they switched back due to pressure, they didn't actually go back to the old formula like people think, they reformulated it to be cheaper to produce and used HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup). Which is the real reason why it's called "Classic", it's not really old Coke (Coca Cola), but instead a retro flavor. I suspect it may be a cross between old Coke and New Coke, and while I can't confirm that with any documentation, there is a difference in flavor.

Mexi-Coke not only uses real sugar, but the flavor is slightly different, it has a bit more spice to it, it's also less syrupy (and therefore a bit better for your teeth). While you can drink HFCS Coke all day and not feel full, Mexi-Coke actually will fill you up. Your stomach recognizes sugar as a food, while HFCS gets ignored. Even at an increased cost, Mexi-Coke can save you money compared to HFCS Coke simply because you will drink less of it.

Interestingly, if you spill Mexi-Coke, depending on conditions, I've seen it dry into just a sugary powder rather than a sticky goo, I always thought it was Molasses that caused the goo, but it's actually the corn syrup. I have also found warm Mexi-Coke to be MUCH more tolerable than warm HFCS Coke, warm Classic is hideous, though Pepsi is even worse when warm.  I suspect flat, warm Pepsi would probably qualify as torture if used to extract information from people.

Gotta be Coca Cola.

I don't know what the fuss is over Mexican Coke, but from the sounds of it it's the same as Coke from anywhere but America.

I died the day they took Vanilla Coke away when I was a kid. I imported a few cases from America, but it was never the same. When they brought it back a couple years ago I had a bloody field day.

It is, but don't worry, they were working on replacing all Coca Cola with Coke Classic, Mexico is/was first in line.  However this happened shortly after they started importing Mexi-Coke to the US, where they have trouble keeping it stocked due to demand, and before Pepsi and Mountain Dew started bring sugar back, so I suspect those plans may have been put on hold as they try to figure out how to go forward.

Mexican Coke uses real cane sugar, while regular Coke uses high fructose corn syrup. That's the difference.

... plus it comes in a sexy Classic Coke glass bottle with a painted-on label.
