Soft Drink/Soda/Fizz/Carbonated Beverage

greed · 10-11-2011, 08:13 AM

So today I found out that one of the stores on my way home sells Jones Soda. I had heard of this from Americans for years and was curious about what was apparently the best soft drink on the planet (and hey it uses cane sugar so unlike most other American sodas it wouldn't taste like it's been rinsed through an old man's taint) so I went to have a closer look. then I saw something. They had grape soda. This is important because proper grape soda that doesn't actually taste like grapes, but tastes like awesome grape flavouring has not been available in my city since Midori Soda stopped selling stuff here in 1998. I have waited THIRTEEN YEARS for grape soda.

It was worth the wait. It was as delicious as I remembered. Fuck I LOVE grape soda. So yeah as for a topic what's everyone else's favourite soft drink/opinions on soft drink etc etc etc

I just wanted to point out in the board overview this topic is shortened to "Soft..."

It sounds so full of implications.

Well, I want to try grape soda now. I usually go with Pepsi out of lacking imagination. At least since the local brand Zeunert's started making only julmust, which is only available at xmas and quite expensive. But they used to put an intriguing personal spin on all the common soda flavors. Ah, now I miss their funny shaped bottles. . .

Due to the spacing of slashes the thread title read as "Soft..." on the forum listing, making me think this was about pillows or something. Was disappointed.

Grape soda is pretty boss, though.

L&P is the best softdrink. Cause you get hits of both the dreaded drug P and the dreaded drug L.

Grape soda that doesn't just taste like Dimetapp?! I am intrigued.

I got this, and my friends and I all drank a bottle a few minutes before class.

...There was a lot of nearly full open soda bottles about the place that day. Also:

Jones Soda has a little too much time on its hands.

I'm glad hipsters have their own soda now.

I'm still just drinking Coke.

Occasionally Mountain Dew, if I feel EXTREME ly in need of a better wakeup call.

I was practically bottle-fed on Diet Pepsi, and it's still my go-to drink (at least one bottle a day, these days).

Orange soda also has its advantages, not least of which is the way you can make a tasty orange-soda float with it. (You can also do it with strawberry soda. I wonder if grape soda lends itself to that treatment as well, or if it would just taste awful.)

Jones is pretty sweet. Like, too sweet at times. Hardcore sugar stuff, I guess. Not that I have anything against sweet drinks (my favorite soft drink is probably either Dr. Pepper, Cherry Crush, or Vanilla Coke) but fuck, it's like somebody took a regular drink, dumped about 3 packets of sweetener in it, and gave it a good shake.

Jones is also kind of really expensive.

I usually don't trust Americans when it comes to picking which unhealthy food to eat, not since that Five Guys fiasco. Cripes, those things are like... grease dipped in a little bit of burger.
