Soda / pop / fizzy drinks discussion

I’ve got a bru on the go this evening, always a winner.

got some A&W Root Beer and Dr Pepper & Cream Soda from EssexDrinks . com
just under a quid a can delivered (12 of each)


The Root Beer is aces, the Dr Pepper Cream Soda was just DP like to my tastebuds, not worth the effort.

Hoping they get the A&W cream sodas in and i'll buy them up.

Got a case of Kinnie Zest for Xmas, couldn’t be happier.
The full sugar version appears to have fallen foul of the sugar tax as I’ve not been able to find it in over a year now. Can confirm the sugar free is as good, if not slightly better than the original. San Pelli chinotto might be easier to find but is a truly inferior beverage.
Absolute 10/10 all day long.

I'm noticing a load more sweets and drinks from the US in both supermarkets and my local shops.

Nope I only drink sugar free. Mule is my current favourite.

Recently picked up a 4 pack of these.

Less fiery than ginger beer, quite refreshing on these hot hot days.

Ahh ok, this one tasted quite like the DR "Rossi" one, does that come in a sugar free option?

I usually want more fire. I tried the Bundaberg (or however yoy spell it) Ginger beer, was too sweet for me.

That one is similar to Ultra Paradise. Haven't seen it in my local shops in ages. They all have tons of ultra violet which is just vile.

ultra violet

Not tried it. Guessing it's something like the Rockstar Guava, great for about 3 ice cold sips then becomes super sickly sweet and undrinkable.

One of my all time favourite Youtube videos...

It's supposed to taste of grapes. It's closer to those fake fruit juice drinks that taste nothing like fruit. I get sore throat from it too.

Yeah that's the kinda thing.
Can't believe I loved Sunny D as a kid.

Saw a can of Orange Vanilla Coca Cola in my corner shop which raises all kinds of questions for me about Western civilisation

Mine too! Almost tempted to go to LA to visit

I just recently discovered that Tropical Sun Root Beer is still made with sugar and no sweeteners, recommened.

Chinotto, new one on me but was hella nice. Will be hunting down more.

It’s a bitter orange Italian drink, common over there but never seen it before. Has the bitterness similar to marmalade. I think it’s bergamot?

This version can be sometimes be found in your average South London Italian cafe:

great video!

not sure if he’s into fizzy drinks, but think @JB is close by if he didn’t already know about this place?

The Siciliana chinotto will be more bitter than the San Pellegrino. There are a few other brands you should be able to find in Italian delis.

It was my preferred drink for a time.

Without even watching the video And based on this thread I’m gonna assume you’re talking about Galco’s. If so, yeah, it’s really great. Very close by. Will watch now :)

That was great. I was gonna say he looks a lot older than that now until I checked the date and saw that it was 12 years ago!

@DethBeard if you're still looking for Aquarius, Pocari Sweat is similar and can be found in Japanese / Korean specialist shops. Your average asian supermarket is unlikely to have it though.
