The term soft drink (more commonly known as pop, soda, or soda pop in parts of the United States and Canada, or simply coke in the South, or fizzy drinks in the U.K.; sometimes called minerals in Ireland) refers to drinks, often carbonated, that do not contain alcohol. — Wikipedia
After sucking down my second glass of sudsy A&W Cream Soda this morning, I might have to give it the nod. Either that or delicious Shirley Temples. What’s your favorite soft drink?

So that’s why you tighten the cap so much that I can’t get into it!

It’s weird to see that image of of a pop bottle on it’s side . . .
My favorite soft drink is IBC Black Cherry. Yum!

Not sure if you can get it out there (it’s mostly available in the midwest), but Vernor’s is by far my favorite of all time. It’s ginger ale, but it is apparently produced or aged in oak barrels that give it a unique flavor. I guarantee you’d like it.
Rock & Rye by Faygo is also super!
Do you drink diet or regular? I’m an all diet man now .. so many empty calories in sugared soda.

Mountain Dew is my caffeine source of choice, but I also love Sprecher root beer (it’s brewed with honey).
I actually don’t drink a lot of soda unless I’m out and about all day. I usually just reach for water.

@ David
Most gourmet food stores have Vernors. Pirate O’s in Draper has it if you’re here in Utah. You can also usually get it at natural food stores.
My favorite soda hands down is root-beer (in a frozen glass).
If I see a brand of root beer and I haven’t tried it, I buy it.

I love me some ice cold Diet A&W Root Beer.
It has to be from the can too.
