The bar is low with Pepsi but that's definitely the best one.

I’ve already said that Dr Pepper Blackberry might be one of my favourite drinks ever, but I’ve also tried the Cream Soda and Coconut ones recently.

The Cream Soda one was nice, but the Coconut one was repulsive.

Nope, I’m not having any slander on Coconut Dr Pepper. It’s like nectar.

Also Cherry Pepsi Max is the fucking GOAT

I agree with you on the first but not the second I'm afraid.

Any diet/zero sugar drink has that vile aftertaste though some are worse than others of course.

I love Dr Pepper Cherry Crush. But then, I love Cherry pop

Tango cherry is nice, and it tastes like cherry rather than cherryade if that makes any sense? 

I'm loving my sodastream still. Got some peach and ginger flavour, and pineapple and jalapeño. Can't wait to make pineapple jalapeño Pepsi Max in it.

Pepsi max cherry is the GOAT of fizzy drinks, that’s a hill I’m prepared to die on. 
 

Apart from a very rare foreign Fanta I only drink zero sugar drinks now, I used to guzzle full fat coke like it was going out of style.

 

I recently moved to a new house and have just found a new corner shop that has an obscene amount of foreign futz drinks that I plan on working my way through.

Nigerian Fanta is incredible. I've had it a couple of times and if I could get it regularly I'd already be dead from diabetes.

Not tried Nigerian Fanta yet, what flavours do they do?

 

I had watermelon Fanta for the first time yesterday, it was really good! Not sure if any of you remember those melon flavoured lollies that were also a whistle?! Well it tasted a bit like those.

I've only has the orange but it was both the orangeyest orange and sweetest drink I've ever had. I felt like I could see sounds after drinking it.

There's a mini-mart not far from me that stocks various imported Chinese Fantas - they have some esoteric flavours like green melon, Baifeng peach, and nectarine & jasmine.

Fanta in India is practically fluorescent and I hate to think how much sugar is in there, Mirinda Orange is more popular and widely available in Punjab though. It's also fluorescent and syrupy

Is there anywhere decent to get Mexican pop online? I see a few different independent stores but wondering if any of you have used them.

I really wanna get some of this Sangria soda.

The tiny bottles or the big ones? Had the small white peach one and wasn't impressed. Was really flat.

I've used drinksupermarket.com before for Jarritos, could try there?

Regular-sized ones. I didn’t mind the peach one, didn’t blow me away though. I quite liked the nectarine one - had a very unusual turquoise colour, which my FOMO-addled mind was drawn to:

It drew a number of varying reactions from friends - one liked it because it reminded him of the kind of water you associate with beach paradise locations (which he associates with relaxation, not saltiness, for some reason), and another hated it because it reminded her of pool water.
