Why for the love of god can makers of cola drinks never get it right? Besides Coke and pepsi, every other attempt tastes like ass. Now I can't speak for any one in the states as you all use corn syrup but over here we have sugar. For some reason, every cola drink save coke and pepsi are nasty; I mean for example, take Tesco's brand cola (I bought it as it was on offer) I expected it takes bad but not that bad, It has extracts of Apple, Carrots and hibiscus, WTF do they have to do with a Caramel flavored drink? Why can't they make there cola drinks taste of any sembalance of ok?

Total agreement. My other half loves any cola and we have FITE over the fact that other brands are inferior. His favourite is Pepsi, but he fucking loves that Sainsbury's shit too, and now he's gone mad for RC Cola. It all tastes like shit to me.

Coca Cola all the way. Even Pepsi has a slightly metalic aftertaste imo (although I still drink it like it's going out of fashion!!)

I really like Dr. Pepper, but a Texan friend of mine told me the fruit-base of the original stuff (like LEMON for lemonade etc) was PRUNE!

Is this true? Prune + Sugar = Dr. Pepper? If so I have to re-evaluate my view of prunes.

No fucking way even Dr.pepper slogan is original taste that can't be described and I can't put my finger on it or even point at prunes on this one.

I haven't been drinking a lot of carbonated beverages (because they're expensive), only sugared cold tea, but it's kinda funny how they represent modern society. They're acidic, with very little nutritional value, you have to work to enjoy it, it's artificial and not really good or worth the trouble in the end. Curse you capitalism.

Lol Mince, but your right, any way I used to like Dr.pepper then one day, it suddenly tasted like shit to me and I couldn't drink it, then a couple of months ago, Coke tasted like shit, so now I can only drink pepsi. I can't describe it but, the taste didn't exactly change, but it just suddenly started tasting bad. BTW acourding to southpark, in america DR.pepper Can't decide weather it's Coke or root bear, oh yeah I finnaly tried root bear... It was overpiced and WEAK tasting.

1) Mince Wobley, it is much healthier to not drink fizzy drinks, so like well done for not hastening stomach cancer! You will be a FINE OLD GENT!
2) Mince Wobley, your fineness as a gentlemen is coming into question by your addition of sugar to tea (you savage).
3) Dr. Pepper is only nice ice-cold. If it SLIGHTLY warms then it does taste like shit for some reason. This is true of most fizzy drinks to be fair.

not to boast, but I've had more different types of cola than everyone ITT combined. you think you know cola? get the fuck out of here. you're toast.

seriously tho I really don't understand all this talk about DISGUSTING and NASTY. how is this possible? I can understand thinking something like ginger beer is nasty, but here we're talking mass market products that are specifically designed to be sweet and inoffensive

one of my favorite colas is Blue Sky Cola http://blueskysoda.com/ a "natural" (how embarrassing) cola. it's good, and isn't too different from your average cola like pepsi and coke

what I really like, though, are the colas that have a very strong cola flavor, like Fentiman's or Double Cola http://www.wix.com/fentimans/test http://www.double-cola.com/ a big two thumbs down to double cola for switching to plastic bottles

edit: also boylan cane cola is a strong cola http://www.boylanbottling.com/

that was supposed to be a joke. I mean it's not funny on any level, but it wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. root beer has a lot of variation, more so than colas or any other carbonated drink. many styles are quite potent

Has anyone had PEPSI RAW? That was pretty fucking amazing, but they only seemed to sell it for like a year here. Sure, it didn't help that it was ridiculously expensive in comparison to regular pepsi here, but man I miss that stuff.

Dude, mexican coca cola is not only one of the very few coca colas that are still made in glass bottles, but it is one of the only colas that still uses real sugar instead of that artificial tasting corn syrup crap!

I won't tolerate people who diss on mexican coca cola, especially those who diss on the folks who are still willing to tout about it! (maybe you are just mad b/c the one thing Mexicans have that is actually better than what Americans have is the one thing America is supposed to be best at)

Maybe you only said that because mexican cola's superiority is so obvious to everyone, that stating anything of the such only serves as a redundant waste of space. But if had chosen not to speak up instead, then that would mean you win.
