Mmm. Sweet tea.

Mmmm. Diet Mt. Dew.



Oh, and <3 coffee.

Coca-Cola for a packaged drink; sweet tea, if fresh-brewed.

Pre-packaged - Diet Sunkist

Mixed-on site - Mystic Chai (aka the kind they used to sell at Borders)

Kvass.

Oh, if you mean American-style soft drinks, than root beer.

It appears this survey is about any non-mood altering drink. And RPOL shooed be worldwide, perhaps sometime system-wide.

Methylated spirit...

The only flavors of grape soda in my neck of the woods I'm aware of are Faygo and Fanta, which are both very purple.

What other color options are there?

Nugrape was the best there ever was, allegedly it still exists in Tx. Last I got was in Conn in late 70's.

Fanta Grape from Mexico (real sugar, glass bottle) is a close second, so good it tastes delicious even when flat.

Never have seen diet grape though have heard rumors there of.

Sunkist Diet orange is my standard staple.

Mtn. Dew, with LiveWire Dew as a close second.

I don't do diet anything...aspartame makes my throat raw.

Spuma, that is a local root beer variant.

Also, when I manage to find it, carbonated coffee (sounds awful, I know, but it's surprisingly good).

The only kind of diet grape soda I can find around here is Diet Rite white grape -- which isn't even close to the same flavor.

Martinelli's Sparkling Cider/Juices. I've never had the alcoholic versions, but I've loved this stuff ever since I was a kid.

You can pour it into plastic champagne flutes with the snap-on bottoms and pretend to be a fancy socialite.

You can drink it right from the bottle and pretend to be a fancy hobo.

And you can blow across the top and make hooting noises like a fancy hillbilly.

The hallmarks of a quality product. ^_^ Drink responsibly.

These days, nothing beats a good, strong, well made cup of coffee. In my younger days Grape Crush, Squirt (a grapefruit soda,) or a Vernor's ginger ale.

Oh, I had forgotten about this stuff -- the juice in the apple(-ish) shaped glass jars!

Wow, that takes me back... thank you for the reminder, Eggy!

For me it's gotta be Dr. Pepper

Mountain Dew for me.

I think she was referring more to the stuff they sell in the 'supposed to look like a wine bottle' packaging.  But I remember the apple-bottles, too...

Ginger beer. The Reed's stuff is pretty good, but Bundaberg is better in my opinion.

Yes, this is in fact a soft drink, though the folks at the grocery store occasionally ID me by mistake at checkout.

I would have to say i am more than partial to rubicon mango the guava one is nice too.

Sangaria Melon Soda - or at least it was until they changed the recipe last year.  Now it actually tastes like melon instead of awesome fake melon.

I have to go with ice-cold chinotto with lime juice on a hot summer afternoon.

DARK & STORMY

national drink of Bermuda and its with ginger beer & dark rum, .... good stuff :)

Heh - didn't expect to see that on this list.  I'm not fan of the stuff, but we often have a bottle in the 'fridge because the kids and Mrs. are fans.  My wife found a place where you can get a 6-pack of 2-liters.

I prefer a good aspertame filled diet Pepsi.

Iced coffee > sweet tea > Dr. Pepper in order of preference for me. I prefer decaf(of coffee, tea or soda) when I can get it.

It it contains rum. it's not a soft drink.
