Fizzy pop/cold drinks thread

[SuperBacon]

No don't. I like you Rubenesque.

[FLips]

Can’t wrap my head around it. 

[Merzbow]

I tried it again and kinda like it? Weird drink.

[Dr. Alan Grant]

I had some M&S cream soda recently. Only a small can for £1.25. But I want some more. Not at that price though. Anyone know of any shops that sell it? I could get a pack of 24 Barr cans from Amazon for only £7, but I’ve heard mixed things about them.

I like Barr’s cream soda a lot, but the cream (soda) of the crop for me is Schweppe’s Cream Soda. It’s pretty expensive, but you can get it at most Asian supermarkets in my experience; should you have one near you.

A&W is king of the cream sodas for me. I'll have to see if I can find the Schweppes one, not had it before.

Couple more Mountain Dew tried.

Frost Bite

If you've ever tried a "cool" or "blue" flavour of any drink, it'll taste like this. Really nice. 8/10

Voltage 

This was a bit sickly, too sweet and an annoying drink as I couldn't quite put my finger on why I didn't like it, but ultimately I didn't like it. 5/10

Have a Baja Blast arriving soon and am excited to see what the fuss is about. Probably nothing.

[Merzbow]

One for the energy drink wankers, is G Fuel worth tracking down even for the novelty? I kinda want the Sonic the Hedgehog one just because.. hopefully it doesn't turn me into Chris Chan or something.

[Bellenda Carlisle]

That new limited edition Coke Zero that's created by A.I is gross.

[I Bent My Wookie]

The Irn Bru Xtra limited edition flavours just are a bit too off-putting for my taste buds.

But then my love for original Irn Bru has people buying me the glass bottles as Christmas secret Santa presents, shipping litres of the stuff with me for every festival and me having an Irn Bru tattoo.

Of all my hyper fixations this is both the healthiest and unhealthiest one I have.

[Rule One]

Mountain Dew Mystery 2023: Tasted of Melon, Lemon, one of the blue Mountain Dews and then the bottom half of the can was all code red.

The Drink Called STING!: Really underwhelming, a flat and watered down version of Tizer.

Also had a couple of drinks by a Saudi brand called FIFA, a berry mix and apple which were really nice but marred by an aftertaste of corruption.

[Bellenda Carlisle]

I think 90%* of own brand diet soft drinks are disgusting and taste like straight aspartame, the morrisons fake coke zero actually isn't bad at all though. I'm addicted to coke zero but on a bit of a budget and wasn't feeling a 2 litre being nearly 3 quid now so i tried the morrisons one and it's definitely the best I've ever had.

* I did like Aldi's amazingly named DR Pepper clone Professor Peppy but that is gone, presumably for being so flagrant 

[SuperBacon]

This is quite decent and 65p for 2 litres.

Nice one, I'll check it out if pass a big tesco as they definitely don't have it in my small high street ones.

[Merzbow]

I had the new-ish Fritz "Super Zero" last night, really nice and seems to be their take on Coke Zero/Pepsi Max. Nicer than the original zero sugar version and I think it might have a boost in caffeine.
