Dr Pepper.

I frikkin' love Dr. Pepper. I almost never drink it anymore. I'm getting older and gotta watch the ol' A1C.

Diet Dr. Pepper/Dr. Pepper Zero is just as good.

Same. A nearby pizza place has a slice and a can of soda for $5. I go there for lunch once every two weeks.

 
4

Can I Venmo you $5.50 and you grab me a slice? Just mail it back!

Where I live that’s $12.

Please don't make "Lemmings" a thing.

"Hey, you should join Lemmy!"

"Whats Lemmy?"

"It's like reddit, except instead of a Redditor, you're a Lemming!"

"...........no."

 
10

"Lemminos" sounds better imo.

 
4

How about just "people"

 
2

You would have no idea who uses Lemmy and who doesn't.

 
2

I don't know why that's important. Like in this case anyone reading it knows what they're on

 
2

Well, if you're referring to us Lemminos outside of Lemmy as "people", you wouldn't know.

I guess context matters in this case.

 
2

I'm not like anti-fun, if it's just something that brings you joy, but we do just fine without terms for most of the other platforms. Like I don't need a short form for "facebook users" like "bookers" or "facelings" or whatever.

But hell if Lemminos makes you happy, rock on my fellow le mino *tips bowler hat*

 
2

Root beer. Or cream soda. Or a spicy ginger ale / beer. Anything with bite, flavor, complexity.

 
10

Cream Soda, but generally I drink soda for caffeine that's not coffee. So Dr. Pepper or Coke.

 
9

I don’t drink soda. Why? So I can tell people that I don’t drink soda.

 
12

Have you tried being vegan? Sounds right up your alley!

 
6

Just wanted to chime in to make sure you both know I used to live in NYC. I am sure it's been longer than five minutes since I told anyone.

 
7

That's interesting! I had a hard time finding a good CrossFit gym in NYC... Yeah, I do CrossFit.

I don’t drink soda

Concur!! Most of the sodas with cane sugar taste better. Love cream sodas personally

 
4

Cheerwine

 
6

Cheerwine is great stuff! The one gas station chain carried it here for a bit, but I haven't seen it in about a year or so now.

 
3

I like citrus sodas, like San pellegrino, or Fanta.

 
6

Sadly San Pellegrino is part of Nestle, so I refuse to knowingly buy them any more...

 
4

Oh that is heartbreaking. Their Limonata one is such a good mixer.

 
2

Yeah, I particularly enjoyed the Arantica Rossa, just fantastic taste.

 
2

Wtf I didn't know... Guess I'll stick to fanta.

 
2

Yeah, it sucks, sorry to be the one to tell you

 
3

Dont worry. I''d rather know about this.

 
3

Ginger ale

 
5

Me too: HOMEMADE Ginger ale.

Natural carbonation is best.

 
6

:O

Curious what the process is like. How long does it take to ferment?

 
3

Making a ginger bug takes a week or so, once it's going you can park it in the fridge and revive it in a couple of days.

I have a recipe for ginger beer and also for tepache in the non alcoholic post on !cocktails@lemmy.world

 
4

Starting the ginger bug takes 2-5 days.

Once the ginger bug is rolling, about a day. Or less.

I just keep the ginger bug going. Almost done with a bottle? Add new flavors & sugars, it's pushing carbonation in hours.

 
3

The spicier the better. Blenheim red cap is best if you can find it

 
3

I've been enjoying all the random new Coke flavors.

The Rosalia one and Y3000 were both exceptional to me, and the new Coke Spice is nice as well.

I was sad when the Rosalia ended production, that was a great flavor. The limited time thing does make it exciting too.

 
5

I like the staticky flavors of La Croix but Waterloo Grape is the best.

 
5

It looks like you edited out calling us Lemmings and I came here to say, LEMMINGS IS OUR DEMONYM. ✊ Lemming Power!

OP

Oh...but someone was getting tired of it so that's why I changed it.

Otherwise, I would still use 'Lemmings' as a demonym.

 
3

Any flavor seltzer water is cool

 
5

Lems, lemmies, luna excursion modules, lemmos, lembians, lemwads... Anything but lemmings.

 
5

All my homemade sodas are good: start with ginger bug, add any flavors you want - including or excluding caffeine depending on how you're feeling.

 
5

Everybody should be able to make a better soda than corporations do.

 
2

I know that I'm weird but I like Mountain Dew

 
5

I just think it tastes better than the other top brands.

I couldn't care less about being EXTREME!!, playing CoD or whatever the hell they market now.

 
3

Club Mate. Not too sweet, loads of caffeine and looks cool.

Also, you can feel superior to the plebs that don't understand the complex "wet ashtray" flavors.

 
4

If I'm not being calorie conscious then Big Red.

 
4

Root beer --- 1919 is good for a creamy flavor and Boylan for a bite.

 
4

I very rarely have soda at all, on the occasions I do Dr. Pepper because it slightly tastes like cherry. Otherwise it's all more or less the same to me

 
4

Normally flavored seltzer but occasionally the spicy varieties of ginger beer

 
4

I'm addicted to Polar seltzer if that counts

 
4

Wendy's has Dave's Orange Cream Soda. I suppose that's my favorite.

 
4

Moomin soda is what I'm currently drinking. Forest strawberry flavoured.

But perhaps... Pommac?

Just plain carbonated water is my go to, but if I drink something sweet, usually those new caffeine free cokes. But best taste / sensation is Pommac or Moomin, definitely.

 
4
  1. NOS (original or green apple)
  2. Dr. Pepper
  3. Jones Soda Green Apple
  4. New York Seltzer Cream Soda
  5. Canada Dry Bold
 
3

Purchased? Diet coke.

Homemade - ginger beer, tepache. Glorious.

 
4

I'm not a soda drinker, but Green River gets me right in the nostalgia.

Occasionally, I'll have some club soda with a bit of vanilla or hazelnut syrup. Not too sweet, but enough to taste. Plain soda water is also good.

 
4

Root beer, there are so many different flavors and variety. A lot of artisanal stuff out there as well!

Cream soda is the second choice

 
3

Fanta Exotic.

They just stopped selling it where I live and made a sugar free alternative that's ok but nowhere near as good

 
3

In Morocco, we have Ice. Yeah, that's what the soda is called.

 
3

Coca cola, intravenous please

 
3

Ginger beer or Cherry Cola.

 
3

Schwip Schwap is my favorite. Mountain Dew is also quite nice when I can find it.

 
3

Probably Melon Soda. Not so much the melon cream soda though.

 
3

Ale 8 One

Somewhere between ginger ale and Mountain Dew, and caffeinated.

 
3

I love Club Mate Cola.

 
3

Oh just any kind, preferably without sugar, preferably it's hot and sunny out

 
3

Trocadero

Trocadero

 
5

Som det ska vara

 
3

For the sophisticated sparkling beverage connoisseur.

 
2

For those uninitiated, it's a mix between orange and apple soda. Pretty fuckin good. My favourite has to be Portello or Julmust.

Faygo Red Pop, Faygo Rok'n'Rye, Mt. Dew Baja Blast.

Lime Jarritos or Fanta Green

Oh, okay. Sorry everyone.

 
2

It's gotta be root beer.

Every company makes it a little differently so there's a wide array of flavours within the one soda.

Bear & Beaver is specifically my favourite.

 
2

Just the chilled, filtered tapwater I carbonate at home.

Ludicrously cheap, the taste doesn't get old, and there's no trash to deal with. 10/10.
