If there's sugar and water I'm happy.

Mountain Dew. Most flavors work for me, with highest points going to Regular, Throwback, and Whiteout. LiveWire is great during the summer, but I don't want orange soda in the winter, so it loses behind the Big Three.

Sweat tea or water or juice. None of that soda stuff for me.

I dont always drink soda, but when I do, its ginger beer with a shot of whiskey.
Sprite closely followed by ginger ale
Soda is a comfort drink for me that I constantly get back to. It's awful.

Mt. Dew. I'll drink nearly any soda offered, even diet soda to be polite. But when I purchase one, it's always Mt. Dew. I occasionally deviate to one of the variant MD flavors, but always come back to the first one.

Cal I got at least a dozen cans of Dew in my fridge from a party I threw a few months ago. I dont touch the stuff wish I could pass it along. None of my regular guests drink it either. Probably eat through the can before they get drank.
Minor rant time, anyone notice places going to these new fancy touch screen soda fountains? Its like 77 flavors that all come out of the same spigot. So everytime you get a drink its "cherry vanilla diet grape (your pick here) very gross and annoying.

Too bad you can't ship it to me! LOL
Some of the restaurants around here took those machines out because people took way too long deciding what flavors to use and resulting in really, really long lines of frustrated customers.
I'll take any excess sweet carbonated beverages off your hands.

Who thought that was a good idea? Each drink having its own dispenser, while having less flavors, works much better.
what kind of eatery has 77 flavors of soda anyway

Diet? You truly are mad.
Dr Pepper is clearly the superior soda.

I — and a certain world renown zombie that frequents these parts — also prefer regular sugared Dr Pepper above all else.
I should warn you though, by regularly marinating our innards with Dr Pepper, when the Zombpocalypse comes, we will probably be eaten first.

I would rather be considered the ultimate in tastiness than something a zombie would spit out.

It's not hyperbole. They have a main corn sweetener, aspartame sweetener, and sucralose sweetener areas. Then flavor packs for every coke product (coke, new coke [read diet], barqs, sprite, high c, mellow yellow, powerade, minute maid), plus flavored syrups (cherry, chocolate, grape, lemon, lime) and an option for dasani (just filtered tap) which you can also add the syrup to.
Winds up being well over 100 options.

That's too way too many options for my simple adhd-addled mind to handle.
I don't drink soda unless alcohol is in it, so not much, I hate Mt Dew, I'm pretty sure the Slurm episode of Futurama nailed where it comes from. I also saw almost all my brothers become obese and sedentary drinking it, I don't blame Mt Dew, but it doesn't help, which I find ironic considering how much caffeine my brothers brag is in it. "More then coffee" they say, "coffee is lousy with antioxidants, and Data the wookie Psylon likes to drink it" I say back, by that time the coffee vs Mt Dew debate is forgotten :-)
My soda of choice is No Soda (said Yoda).

And contrary to Pan's statement the flavors don't mix. The Freestyle machine uses a whole series of technologies originally developed for the pharmaceutical manufacturing, compounding, and dispensing industry.
They don't need fiddly adjusting of the water, syrup, and CO2 mix, laborious cleaning (which way more places then you want to believe skimp on), tell Coke and the vendor what they're selling and what needs replacing, and (for the moment) draw customers in with flavors unavailable elsewhere.
They are better in every conceivable way than the old machines. Well, other then having a higher rental fee, but I've been told the total cost is less when accounting for waste, labor, etc.
There is residue left over in the nozzle. You will never get just coke out of them. Ice makers and soda fountains are some of the equipment I review repair quotes for as part of my job. I know how filthy they are, which is why I avoid them mostly altogether.

From among the readily-available "common" soft drinks, my standard go-to is Dr. Pepper. I enjoy occasionally trying something more obscure from time to time (especially cream soda and strawberry flavored soda), and some have been exceptional, but I can't remember names. :/

I can't find it here anymore, but Jones' Green Apple soda was a big fave of the game group for awhile.

There is one reason I like those dispensers - it means I can actually get straight club soda from a fast food restaurant, which is one of my favorite things. Otherwise, no one ever has plain club soda.
(I buy cans of club soda to drink at home, even without alcohol added to it. It's fantastic. Yes, I am aware that this makes me very strange for an American. Going to Europe was the best, because that's what they served you everywhere.)
Besides club soda, the best soda I've probably ever had was a cinnamon ginger beer; I think it may have been put out by Stoli. It was wonderful; I still look from time to time to see if they have it. They don't. :(
As for the more "normal" sodas, Dr. Pepper all the way. I grew up drinking gallons of it, so even though I really don't drink soda much at all anymore (maybe once a month or so at most), when I do, it's Dr. Pepper.
For what can easily be had Mt. Dew Livewire is the soda of choice. When i can find a store that carries it around here RC cola is the #1 on my list everytime.

There is a local bottling company in our town (New Britain, CT) called Avery's that makes its own soda.
They make amazing cream soda. They also produce "gross" halloween-themed flavors (with names like zombie brain juice) that are actually pretty good.

I do also do make my own Ginger ale once in a blue moon. In fact need to start a batch this weekend.

Oh hey. Avery's. I used to get soda from them, when I drank soda more regularly.
And I didn't know you were local. I moved out of NB a year and half ago or so. :)
As for soda: Mountain Dew to caffeinate for long drives. Much less than I used to.
Ginger beer every once in awhile. Even more rarely, root/birch beer or sarsaparilla.
Small world!

Why doesn't anyone ever live in Madison, Wi.

I once tried a curry flavored soda. I like curry, but the soda was so terrible I drank it over the course of a week.
This is the best part, i would've thrown it out right away, but no you kept drinking it, dragging it out even! now before you get mad and call me a jerk, my wife would totally do (and has done) the exact same thing as you did:-D
Awesome stuff, really:-)
The only people I know from Madison are those who moved to the Twin Cities after college. I been there its nice but its not big.
We got 260k in the city plus another 80k in the surrounding burbs, not to shabby, what we lack in population size we make up for in population girth and partying:-)

The best is Coke, but only if it's imported from Mexico.
I'm trying to not drink soda, though. I'm fat, and science says soft drinks are responsible for a huge portion of American obesity.

I've been trying to eliminate soda from my beverages, but when I do drink it, my favorites are Coke (when I want caffeine) or Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer when I don't.
