Soda / pop / fizzy drinks discussion

yesterday after a hard and v hot afternoon coaching kids I was v thirsty and I think dehydration must have effected my judgment as I went for a bottle of milkis. it was ok like fizzy yakult but so much sweeter.

I can't stop buying it even though its made from soy

I liked it fresh from the fridge but later on when I wasn't so thirsty its was so sweet. I may try again wasn't too bad.

I picked up some of the new Coke mixers to try this weekend.
There is 4 different varieties, woody, spicy, herbal and smoky.
The idea is they are specifically for dark spirits (Rum or whiskey, not Pazuzu)

After the talk on here I thought I'd give root beer a try. Am undecided on it

Ice cold can of AW will convince you.

any good?

Not managed to try any yet, been struck down with Le Plague and have no functioning taste buds

Has anyone else been watching Glen & Friends on YouTube? He's been making a bunch of soda pop stuff from scratch lately, it's fascinating... Really great channel, tons of great content and him and Julie are so funny... I totally love them, great schtick... He's totally serious and she just saunters in after work and samples what he's been knocking up all day... She's now my #1 style icon, obvs...

Has anyone else been watching Glen & Friends on YouTube?

Yes. Also have my son now watching Binging with Babish and the Burger Show with me.

Just had a bottle of Gatorade Grapefruit. Was very nice. I normally hate gatorade as it tastes really fake sweet but the grapefruit is really nice.
Was pleasantly surprised.

Just reacquainted myself with root beer

For anyone missing it, just stir deep heat into cream soda.

Just found this while getting diesel. I really want to try it but driving a truck in central while swigging what looks like Desperado might attract babylon or phone calls from concerned members of the public...

Is that snide butterbeer from Harry Potter?

Yeah, only 10yrs late cashing in on that franchise.

Tastes exactly the same as the Barr cream soda at 3x the price. Nice but pricy.

I have a feeling I had that in Borrego Springs after the 24hr. Bottle looks very familiar. If it's what I think it is, super sweet and that's saying something for a guy who sucks down gels for a day straight.

Guy I work with went to Paris for a couple days.
Made him bring me this back

Slightly late to the party on this. He doesn’t put any wintergreen in his recipe. I thought this was a key flavour in root beer?

I have some Zatarains root beer concentrate under the stairs to use up. I think I might have to brew me up a couple of litres this weekend.

Sterk in Amsterdam, so, so much stuff, but I limited myself to this tonight

Sainsbury's have started stocking "Ben Shaw's Root Beer"
It's cheap (£2.20 for 6 cans) and is surprisingly good.

Don’t think this will ever tire for me.

Just received a Fanta Shokata with my takeaway.

Holy fuck, where have you been all my life?

Just spend a fortune on Bundaberg root beer without realizing it has been ruined with
sweeteners. Now I have 3 bottles of sour dish water.

I've only just spotted this thread, but as this is one of my favourite bits of film ever I'm going to post it.
