Coca-Cola - boring maybe but very seductive
Orange Nehi - tastes like candy
Cheerwine - this should be sold everywhere
Dr. Pepper - old faithful
A&W Root Beer - i don't need any "made with real anise and licorice" fluff just give me some artifical flavoring in corn syrup

the smaller cans they've started putting out are welcome in situations when soda is the only option, i get nauseated by a full 12 oz can tbh

only Diet Coke, which I know is bad in many ways so I try to limit myself to no more than 1 or sometimes 2 cans per day. I can't have alcohol though and so something's gotta break up the monotony of water and coffee. I wish I could develop a LeCroix habit but to me all that stuff just tasts flat and gross.

haha, my wife drinks a lot of diet soda and teases me to no end for pouring 7 ounces of a diet coke into a glass and then putting the other 5 back in the fridge.

sparkling water is just good in general but LeCroix does have some wack flavors (coconut, key lime)

The new craze with fruit flavoured colas is so mediocre.
Everything tastes like diluted sugar water juice and nothing like coke

birch beer
root beer
ginger beer

some sort of lemon berry soda they have at the local hipster pizza chain

Peardrax - tastes like pear drops. Made in the U.K. for over 100 years until people stopped buying it and now only bottled in Trinidad and Tobago.

Cidona - sharp, vaguely alcoholic-tasting Irish apple soda

Obolon Limonad - cheap Ukrainian apple and lemon soda made by a beer company. It’s an odd combination but refreshing and not too sweet.

Jarritos Jamaica - I used to have home-made sorrel drinks and didn’t realise it was such a popular soda flavour outside the West Indies until going to Mexico

Uludag Gazoz - I don’t even know what flavour this is supposed to be, other than generic fruit, but it’s great.

I had kicked soft drinks for a long stretch but discovered Coke Zero doesn't taste gross. I love good spicy ginger ale and will drink Blenheim's occasionally when I find it.

Pellegrino lemon etc.

I like the 7 oz cans, I think that's a good amount of soda to have

but the fact that they're actually more expensive than the 12 oz cans makes me angry so I don't buy either
