what is best soft drink

Coca-Cola made with cane sugar- not the U.S. version made with corn
syrup sweetener- is easily the best soft drink on the planet.

Don't particularly like colas of any sort. Currently, my
favorites are Trader Joe's black-raspberry lemonade, Goya's
Jamaican Ginger beer and Pompelmo (Italian Grapefruit soda: high
fructose corn syrup *not* listed.)

Between giving up sugar soft drinks and french fries, you've made room for
some nice desserts.

I'm not worried about the sugar substitute. even though I know it's supposed
to cause cancer in some lab rats in CA.

Weeellll this is VA, we fine over here.

"we fine", eh?

Water is the best soft drink, followed closely by real juices in moderation.

Diet Rite Tangerine!! Not a sweet as orange. It is made with Splenda and I
love it.

If I drink soft drinks, which isn't too often I like ginger beers too. Down
east the brand is "Sussex", but there's probably a better one --- somewhere.

That's not a bad idea but I squeeze a quarter of a lime into a
glass of water and make sure the water is cold by using ice
cubes.

Ice cold water, water with a squeeze of lemon juice, or Diet Ginger Ale.
Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke is fine, but I have to add a squeeze of lemon or
lime, or they taste too sweet, for me.

Water is the best soft drink, followed closely by real juices in moderation.

But real juices are loaded with sugar.

A healthful drink is green tea,
which has almost no carbs and lots of
purported health benefits.

Yeah...that's why I said "in moderation".

I do! That stuff you mention tastes like [censored]. Seriously.

Other good diet sodas are A&W root beer and diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.

I've never seen that. Sounds good. My primary soda is Diet Rite cola.
I wonder if tangerine is a regional offering.

During my 'stint' in the IT field, I became very addicted to Mtn. Dew. I
still love the stuff, just not going through four of them a day. Nowadays,
I really like adding about 1/2 a cup of lemon juice to some generic
lemon-lime drink. Basically making a very [censored] carbonated lemonade. Yum!

Too Scary. This is about the only American soft drink I buy.
But I like the black cherry Fresca better than the peach.

You cannot taste the artificialness in Fresca. They hide it
well.
