What's your favourite fizzy, non-alcoholic drink?

Just opened some dandelion and burdock whilst on the phone and the person who'd called started saying how disgusting my taste is! :(

I love dandelion and burdock, it's the drink of sober champions. Second are Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Vimto, with Pepsi Max close behind.

Made in Scotland, from girders :up:

Dandelion and burdock isn't bad either though :)

There's a drink called L&P which I think exists only in New Zealand which is quite nice, but very sharp. It's the colour of beer.

I also like Red Bull. I go through minor withdrawal when I don't have it. tastes foul, but no wonder Dietrich whateverhisnameis is so rich.

Yes! I'm hooked on D&B at the moment, its beautiful stuff! Lucozade is up there though.

Proper "fuzzy teeth" Coke. Not the diet muck.

I don't get these people that can't taste the difference between diet and non diet drinks, to me it's obvious.

Too late, you're involved forever now :p

There's a vast difference. Diet tends to be way too sweet for my taste.

There used to be a local brew, funnily enough made by Charles Wells, a local brewery in Bedford, called Golden Lemonade and it was fab, but the company stopped making it a few years ago :(

These days I like Sprite but prefer either something like Powerade, Oasis or just plain bottled water.

The only time I drink Coke is with reasonable quantities of Vodka added to it ;) which ain't very often ;(

Dr. Pepper

Apparently Fizz does drink, he is quite partial to the odd pint of bitter.

Dr. Pepper
they tried to sell that Stuff over hear a few years back. Spent Millions in advertising and and failed. Did try it
(Cough gasp, spit.) Didn't like it too much.
Needless to say, either did the rest of OZ. Don't see it in the shops no more.

Same as American Beer they try to sell it hear in OZ, thinking Aussies will drink any beer. But to Quote Monty Python -:It's like making Love in a Canoe, F***ing Close to water. Sorry about that my American Cousins.

Non alcohol drink I like would be Water, Ice cool. or Plain old Coke comes in Second.

I don't drink fizzy drinks except for Sprite (with a vodka) :)
Favourite non-alcoholic drinks would be water, orange/watermelon juice and Powerade.

Tonic Schweppes or Tonic Evervess. Root beer is cool, too.

I've just finished my first can of D&B in years, and ahh... the memories.. so good!! as the can says.. "tall, dark and drinksome"

In the world of other fizzy drinks.. i quite like tonic water, red bull, coke and lemonade. but i find i get stomach aches when i drink the fizzy stuff so i dont really drink them much any more.

Sprite/7 up (they're basically the same thing)

Diet Coke
Diet Dr. Pepper

They're just about the only two fizzies that I drink.

Sainsbury's Classic Cola. I drink at least 2 pints a day :D

So, it's 50/50 diet and normal, roughly, on here.

I dislike the normal ones as they make my teeth feel fuzzy. Diet ones go flat a bit faster too, which I like.

I used to LOVE dandelion and burdock when I was little and for some reason I can't even stand the smell of it now... :(

I don't drink all that many fizzy drinks unless it's used as a mixer in something alcoholic... but If I had to choose it'd be Dr Pepper. :)

I think my Coke addiction is not helping my teeth one single bit, (hence the two fillings i need) so I'm removing it from my life for the first part of 2007. I changed to Coke Zero recently which is fairly decent, not that I'm drinking it anymore.

The foam solidifies a little bit when you pour it, which is disturbing :eek:

Sainsbury's Classic Cola. I drink at least 2 pints a day :D

:eek: That made me feel violently ill reading it... seriously, it did. You cannot be serious!

Anyone remember Cream Soda? I used to love it and haven't had any for years.

Ah, nice stuff, but I could never drink a whole can, it was too sweet for my taste.

Yes, it was sweet but great stuff! Don't see much of it around any more.

Pepsi would be my favourite. Followed by Coke and Sprite.

But my favourite if I was still in Australia would be Fanta. It's soooooooo much better than the rubbish we get here in the UK that they call Fanta :(

My favourite Australian soft drink is Fosters :p

Why? I do mean 2 pints, not 2 litres. Which is just two pint glasses full, I don't see how that is seriously excessive? If I'd said two pints of beer would you still feel violently ill?

On a tangent: does anybody still own or use a Soda Stream? Now that was crap cola! :s

Mark

9th January 2007, 11:37

Just go to a pub or cimena etc, what you get effectively is soda stream.

A classic in many delis, who have a variety of brands.

What about an egg cream? Ah!

Coke, I can stop myself from buying it, I just can't stop myself from drinking it :\

Dr Pepper for me :D I find the Diet Dr Pepper a bit flat :s

Also drink Diet Coke, Pepsi ... i think im just addicted to fizzy drinks ...

Two pints is still a fair amount. I couldn't drink even one pint of soft drink in one go without vomiting, not that I've ever tried. I could probably drink that much in a day but only if it was spread out. Two pints of beer wouldn't be so bad... but drinking even one pint of beer makes my head spin like mad :o

Pepsi would be my favourite. Followed by Coke and Sprite.

But my favourite if I was still in Australia would be Fanta. It's soooooooo much better than the rubbish we get here in the UK that they call Fanta :(

Pepsi would be you favourite, under what conditions? sorry

I presume you mean orange Fanta. Have you encountered all the other flavours?

Grape Fanta?

fandango

10th January 2007, 01:34

Tonic Water for me too, especially when out and driving. Mates are getting drunk, so drinking water is boring and the sugar from Coke gets to me too much, so it has to be the sober half of G & T.

LeonBrooke

10th January 2007, 11:02

Grape Fanta?

It tastes weird. But I don't like the orange stuff, I think the grape is nicer.

Definstely Dr Pepper for me, i live off the stuff :p :

I'm addicted to Pepsi, there are days where I drink up to a liter of it, it's not healthy I know.
I like also Coke and Red Bull but they're too expensive so I can't afford an addiction to them.
The only time I tried Dr.Pepper tasted like a cough medicine
