Favorite Cola

I am bored so I thought I'd post a poll. What's your favorite Cola? For me it's definetly CocaCola. Always has been, always will be. I especially like VanillaCoke. A very close second, however, is Safeway Select. It is just so good.

Diet Mountain Dew - no cola! At least until I got to Ottawa this week and could't find and Dew. Tried some Lime Diet Coke. Not bad, drinking a glass right now.

Pepsi. I'll drink Coke, but only if there's nothing else that I like. And I can't stand any of the Vanilla colas either.

But my favorite soft drink is ginger ale.

I concur - Vanilla coke was an interestingly awkwardly tasting...drank it twice, never drank it again. My favorite is Arizona Iced Tea...I know, I'm a bit out of the loop here

I'm thinking its a generic store brand cola. A lot of grocery stores around here call it Best Choice or Save brand.

Safeway Select is Safeway's store brand. It's a lot better than any store brand I have tasted. Almost as good as Coke. BTW, Vanilla Coke is best when it's REALLY cold.

1/2 gallon of tea/coffee a day. I didn't drink any soda for about five years, but started again when I moved here. I drink maybe two a week, they are always Dr. Pepper. I live in Dr Pepper country, all the restaurants have it and all store fountains have it.

Guess I'd have to say Pepsi...unless Cheerwine qualifies as a 'cola'. Maybe no one here has ever even heard of Cheerwine??

I know Dew doesn't count as a cola, but it's the only soda I drink. One can a day, at lunch, or else I get a caffeine headache...

I have never figured out why Mountain Dew is so popular. I personally can't stand the stuff.

I like Coca Cola and Pepsi about equally. To tell the truth, since I've never had them in direct comparison (ie drink one right after the other) I can't tell the difference between them.

Dr. Pepper for me, followed closely by Budweiser.....lol. I do like Coke but only when ice cold. I have a friend who is a die hard Coke fanatic, I swear he can drink a 12 pack in a night of gaming. Every year he gives it up for Lint and every year he is grumpy as hell for 40 days. The last two years he has been at my house and at 12:01 he is cracking open a cold Coke.

Cherry Coke is first for me. I think the generic colas are very good too. If I had to choose between Coke and Pepsi, I would choose Coke.
