Coke greater than Mountain Dew? You, sir, are an ignoramus.

There was a promotional beverage for a while at sonic, it was an energy drink slush. Since most energy drinks taste like the syrup you would use to make a slush, it was pretty good.

Fun fact: Coka-Cola from Mexico tastes better than American. Weird but true!

My vote is for RC Cola. I like it better than Coke & Pepsi.

Yeah, Mexican soda always tasted better to me. In fact, thats the only type of soda I drink, if and when I do drink soda.

Mountain Dew > Vault/Surge/Citra/Etc.

I've only had Surge a couple times back in the mid 90's when I was visiting the midwest, but I gotta say it was the best citrus soda ever made.

God, I loved Surge. I used to have a Surge lunchbox that I won in that contest they ran. I wonder whatever happened to that thing?

It didn't sell as well as Coke would have liked, so they gave up on it.

In its first advertising campaign, they tried to push it as an extreme beverage, like the Mountain Dews, and they had commercials with people yelling Surge and stuff.

They gave it like a year or so and it didn't meet their expectations, so then they started a second ad campaign where they tried to market it as a drink for black people. I know that sounds all racist and shit, but I swear to God, that's what they did.

Pibb Xtra (the reformulated Pibb) is better than the original and way better than Dr. Pepper.

I can't pick a favorite ginger ale, because they never sell any kind of it. So canada dry by default?
