Classic Coke + Fanta is an interesting combo

My regular poison

Dirty Mountain Dew has reached my neck of the woods, I tried the zero-sugar variant and it's okay.

Creamy Coconut Dr. Pepper is making a return in April. I just caught wind of it but there was an article from February mentioning it.

It's back in stock, I saw it at my local Kroger-owned store today. I remember trying it back in the day and not liking it despite liking certain coconut-flavored foods.

I checked like three stores in my vicinity a few days ago and not one of them had it. Not even the convenience store. Do I have to resort to getting a Costco membership just for a taste of the forbidden fruit?

I'd give it about a week or two if you're outside of the West Coast, they only started to come into my local stores this week.

EDIT: Another place to look are Target and Walmart stores, I can order Creamy Coconut from the both mega-stores' websites.

Mall Walmart it is then, if not then probably Sugar Mountain and if I'm REALLY desperate, I'll buy it from this one place at the mall that sells dildos and shit for smoking pot. It's weird, I know. I'm THAT desperate.
 
Tried that new Dirty Mountain Dew.

It was bad. Not vile, I was at least able to finish it, but never buying that one again.

I love cream soda, and I like Mtn. dew on occasion, so I figured this might be decent but ugh.
 
I just tried the Fanta Crimson Sour Cherry flavor. Tis pretty solid.
 
When I went to the Baltics this past summer I found this fruity Latvian sparkling lemonade that's probably the best thing I've ever tasted, it was extremely cheap too for the quantity:

I wish they imported but I haven't been able to find anything stating that they do. I also don't know of any equivalent American brands

I've never seen anything other than the basic sodas (eg: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi) at Costco, so unless things are different where you are, I wouldn't bother.
 
Zero sugar sodas --especially the flavored ones, have really up'd their game in recent years. I honestly prefer most of them over regular sodas largely because they use much less syrup than the real stuff. It's a more refreshing drink as it's just water with a tiny bit of man made horrors mocking God's creation. Real sodas often feel heavy and sticky like drinking melted candy.

Shout out to the new coke Zero cherry float. Nice new take on a cherry vanilla mix.

I like Coke Zero Cherry Float as well but the less we speak about Pepsi's Wild Cherry and Vanilla flavor the better, there's something about the vanilla flavoring that makes it feel off.

I used to love Baja Blast, but these past few times I've had it, I've found it borderline undrinkable.

I've had this happen as well, your mind kind of gets used to the flavor and you get bored of it subconsciously. The only fix is to not drink Baja Blast for a long while.

Speaking of Baja Blast, I'm loving their Cabo Citrus flavor, it's basically Dew with a tropical citrus punch flavor added to it.
 
Had pretty much selzter/sprite with fresh fruit pulp as key source of flavor/sugar from a restaurant the other day and they're definitely onto something!

Thats a crush, not the brand name drink but a type of old fashion soda from the soda fountain days. I've been messing around with homemade CO2 non-alcoholic drinks and the bible for such things is a book called "Fix the Pumps" which covers the history of soda drinks as well as recipes.

You can find a pdf of the book here: https://oceanofpdf.com/authors/darcy-s-oneil/pdf-fix-the-pumps-download/

The guy who wrote it did his homework and he also sells a few old fashion ingredients that are hard to get these days. I'm planning on ordering some Acid Phosphate from him soon so I can make a proper old fashion Cherry Phosphate.

Phosphate's are another category of drinks (they came into and fell out of fashion like fads.) Cream soda's are another, but back then it meant adding cream to any flavor soda you'd normally order. Crushes are soda's that use smashed up fruit. Lactates use Lactate Acid.

Theres a surprisingly rich history to soda that predates the typical 1950's soda fountain era. Real fun stuff.

Neat-o! I'm kinda starting to experiment w/ indoor gardening for the sake of rare herbs, so it's always great to hear about people who propagate forgotten ingredients.
