In any case: Never liked coke, or pepsi, or any of their flavored varieties. My favorite soft drinks are Journey's root beer and cream soda, Virgil's root beer, and D&G's ginger beer. Dr. Pepper is a distant 4th. Squirt is alright too, but what a terrible name.

Favorite beverage would have to be coffee though. Can't get enough of that stuff. Milk comes in a close second.
It is kind of a strange thread, but we could sure use some more diversions around here, seeing as how not a lot of interesting stuff is going on in Fort Worth.

I guess we need to go back and speculate what is going to take the place of the Landmark Tower. Has anyone heard any juicy information on the Convention Center Hotel? If so, please post in the appropriate threads.

Glad Jonny and vjackson said it first, "Nothing much going on in Fort Worth right now". I thought it was just me thinking that. I get so bored seeing the same topics get disscussed over and over and over and over and over and over again
Houston's forum has a section called "Other" and two sections of it called "Off Topic" and "Way Off Topic" that you can discuss things that doesn't even have to do with the city at all. Something like this post John did would be typical on it. How about something like that here on the Fort Worth forum? It's something to post on when FW goes through this "nothing to talk about" dry spell. Speaking of dry, I'm thirsty, gotta go get a SODA!

I've recently liked drinking Cherry Coke from the fountain, but it is hard to find. I'm looking forward to Cherry Vanilla Coke.

Well, this is in the Miscellaneous section. The description of the section reads, "For anything that doesn't fit in the above categories." I think this section is appropriate for anything that is off topic.
I agree, lets keep our Misc. forum just the way it is. As I understand it, the Houston section called "Way Off Topic" is for discussions pertaining to things like religion and eithics, issues that I think would be in this forum's best interest to stay away from completely.
I guess Diet Coke with Lemon doesn't have a lot of fans here.

Anyone know where you can get the pure cane variety around here? I’ve only found it at a couple online sites and it runs about a buck a bottle.

I prefer “Mexican” or “Puerto Rican” Coca-Cola; it’s made with pure cane sugar, you can also get the same flavor in Passover Coke but it’s only sold in certain markets. I've heard that Kosher Coke in 2 ltr bottles have yellow caps instead of white or red.

Switch to Dr. Pepper and you can be drinking pure cane all the time with the products from the first Dr. Pepper bottling franchise in Dublin, Texas.
I've heard some health conspiracy theorists say that corn syrup is worse for you than cane sugar. Don't know if I believe that, but I do know the corn syrup mutes the true taste of the drinks. You can really taste the fruit flavors in Dr. Pepper when it is made with cane sugar (and no, not prunes).

May want to try an "old reliable" though. A CARNIVAL store.
Has anyone here ever drink an "Orange BANG!"? TO DIE FOR. I like Horchata drinks too (which we sell), especially over VODKA or RUM. Ehh, hemm. Both of which are from very distinctive, ehhh, architectually pleasing ehh, national centers for their ehhh respective cultural studies.

I can look a DFW distributor up for you. We sell that variety at our restaurant, medio litre for $1.79. DOES TASTE GREAT!

Does Carnival carry the Kosher variety or south of the border brand? It’s hard to tell which is which since the ingredients generally doesn’t mention anything about cane sugar.

What I have yet to figure out is why the heck we need 4 or 5 different types of diet Coke, and not the flavored ones, just the various diet ones .

But when it comes to soda, I love Dr. Pepper. Especially the pure cane sugar variety.
I also like to have a "Vanilla Dr. Pepper" occasionally which you can make yourself at the fountain at QT or Racetrac, but it's even better if you order it from Sonic. They mix it JUST RIGHT.

I only suggested an off topic section since everyone was so shocked at this topic being under "Misc" about a soft drink. The comments at first was "what a strange/odd topic for this forum". Umm I guess so...again Miscellaneous stuff right?
I think it is interesting that someone has given this thread a 5-Star Rating!
I'm guilty as charged for the rating, only because it was the most interesting thing I've read on the forum in a awhile

Despite his example, I drink far fewer D.P.s than I used to, but probably still too many. Green tea and water are the fallbacks.

What's with the GREEN tea deal here. That's not TEXAN. Do sodas TRULY have bad side-effects? My mother told me so.
I'm not sure if the Mexico CC's are "pure cane", but I do believe it is less refined. SA ENews had a story on the Mexican CC's being "unmonitored" when coming across the border, and denting CC domestic profits. Much more superior product from MX, IMHO. Our soda bottles have paper nutri. labels that are stuck to it. Driving through Glen Rose and Parker County onward to SA, those small roadside businesses are so PROUD of that Dublin DP.

D&G's ginger beer.
I love that stuff. Also very excellent is a rival brand of ginger beer from England called Idris which can be purchased at both Central Market and at the Fiesta Mart on 8th Avenue. Goya, an American company with a large line of ethnic foods, also has a decent ginger beer - though I am not sure where one can buy it in Fort Worth.
My all time favorite soda pop is Moxie. it is a local New England soft drink. For a brief while, it (along with some other non-Moxie flavored sodas sold under the Moxie name) was carried by Cost Plus World Market - but, despite the fact that it sold well (and I could always be counted on buying out the remainder of whatever was on the shelf anytime I visited), they discontinued it in order to make way for something new. Apparently they change out their offerings on a periodic basis on the premise people would become bored with the store if just carried the same merchandise all the time. Here is an interesting article about the soft drink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie Moxie has a taste that is VERY unusual. The first time I ever tried the stuff, I thought it was absolutely vile. But I noticed that it certainly quenched my thirst. After a few cans, I became very addicted to the stuff. Anytime someone I know makes a trip to New England, I always beg them to bring me back a few bottles.
Also good is Dr. Brown's Cel-ray soda - which is flavored with celery seeds, of all things.
My primary beverage of choice, however, is hot tea. Here at home, I only use leaf tea as the stuff that they put in tea bags is inferior. My current favorite in the morning is Taylors of Harrogate Pure Assam which, happily, is carried by Central Market. On weekend afternoons, I enjoy a good Darjeeling. I also have become quite addicted to an herbal tea that Central Market sells in the bulk tea section called Cinnamon Cardamom Spice. At work, I use tea bags as loose tea is just too much mess and hassle in an office environment. There I drink Constant Comment, which is an orange spice tea and is the brand that got me hooked on tea when I was a kid.
Anyone here ever try a soda pop called birch beer? Some years back, I saw a generic supermarket brand of it at a New England supermarket. Knowing that it was an old time flavor, I decided to give it a try. The soda was clear in color like Sprite. I spit it out the very instant I tasted it and flushed the rest of it down the toilet. It tasted exactly like carbonated Pepto Bismol - a flavor that I equate with being sick to my stomach as a kid. Yuck. I wondered why anyone on earth would drink something like that. Then it occured to me. I'll bet that when Pepto Bismol first came out, the people who tried it said: "This medicine is yummy - it tastes just like birch beer." Of course, today, birch is no longer a well known flavor - but most people are familar with Pepto Bismol. Ugghh. .

Coke Zero is my favorite current Coke. Way better than Diet Coke, and just as less worse for you.

The only down side is the price of $1.99 and the very small amount of liquid in that cute little can.
Such a girly drink.

They don't sell Big Red here on the West Coast so now when I go back to Texas to visit I have to buy myself a 12 pack to satisfy my craving for it. When we have family get-togethers and Big Red is in the fridge or ice chest it's the first brand to disappear. I also like the new Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. I would have to say that I prefer it over the original. Also, in my opinion I still believe that Dr. Pepper makes the best diet drinks. They don't seem to have a strong after taste like some of the others do.

If anyone is still looking to find Mexican Coca-Cola, you can usually get it at Fiesta Mart and also at Central Market.
