Soda / pop / fizzy drinks discussion

Good idea, I'll take a look.

I don't tend to drink much in the way of fizzy drinks but I have developed a soft spot for Fanta Lemon every so often

If you're ever in SE Asia try 100 Plus and / or Pocari Sweat, they're pretty similar, taste mildly grapefruity, both are isotonic whatever that means, bloody good on a hot day...

Also, while initially they seemed a bit insipid I grew to like Bionade while living in Germany, various flavours, quite tart, but v.refreshing, get some.

100 plus was quite nice, I thought Pocari sweat tasted as bad as the name suggested

Had some Sugar Cane Juice in a can once.
Thought it might be an interesting beverage. I was so very wrong.

When I was a kid on holiday we'd get fresh sugar cane juice pressed there and then and served out of plastic bags, slightly grassy but delicious.

Did you try the carbonated Pocari Sweat? I thought it was v.similar to 100 Plus...

It could have been the still one maybe now I think about it. It was in a bottle rather than can.

Can't believe there's a fizzy juice thread and I didna know about it.

Laranjada (fizzy drink from Madeira) is great. Very sweet, very orangey.

You can buy it in some Portuguese delis here.

Shit new favourite thread!

I recently tried this after a Lithuanian co worker purchased some for me to try.

It's 'gira' bread drink and genuinely tastes like brown, fizzy, cold bread.

She thought it was great, I thought it was gross.

On a genuine note.

Laimon Fresh kills it at the moment for me.

Did anyone have a local pop man that delivered fizzy pop in glass bottles that you returned? Traditional dandelion and burdock was my favourite.

My mum would do a massive order for Christmas which would always include a couple of bottles of cream soda, bloody awful stuff would stay in the cupboard till next Christmas!

^ we had Alpine pop delivered - 12p a bottle standard, 15p a bottle for premium - pineappleade was lush - used to be 2p deposit on the bottles

This when we were in Cuba:

Needs om nom nom eyes...

Fans of Irn Bru will like Inca Kola, popular all over Peru and Bolivia, tastes like a bubble gum / Irn Bru hybrid, not bad...

^^ oh aye......

Accept no substitute

Recently discovered Karma Cola, overpriced hipster soda.
Proper tasty.
Good with Goslings and a chunk of lime.

Yes.

Barrs red Kola…

Anybody know where to get it in London?

Fritz cola, chinotto San Pellegrino, irn bru, soda and lime cordial (boss), club mate, cherry tree curiosity cola. Oh and any root beer.

Chinotto San pellegrino is just inferior quality Kinnie...
Boylens root beer from Sainsburys is nice but pricey.

Carters root beer in Asda is an abomination
