I gave up soda for the most part several years ago. I still drink it on occasion when I'm in the mood for mixed drinks. I was mainly a Coke/Cherry Coke kinda guy. I really enjoyed Dr. Pepper as well. Jolt Cola was a thing when I was younger but I haven't seen any in years.
 
Where I live it's impossible to find Jones soda

Thats surprising. Its all over the place around here. Mostly the blue bubblegum and green apple flavors, but there are 4 or 5 other common types around here

That said i'm more of a coke/pepsi person. Dr pepper sometimes and baja blast mountain dew when I can find it. Pretty much only available at random from the local dollarama stores

I absolutely despise ginger ale, except that old schwepps raspberry stuff from like 1991, but I haven't seen that in decades. Root beer I only ever liked A&W and barqs. I didn't mind that blue pepsi they had back in 2002 and the holiday spice stuff they had in 2004 either
 
Canada Dry just released a "bold" version of their ginger ale. If you can find it in your area I recommend giving it a try, since it has a little extra bite to it.
 
Tried Cheerwine for the first time. That shit is delicious, I can understand why the south seems to love it. Also tried Sioux City Prickly Pear soda, which did actually taste a little like prickly pear to my shock, was pretty good.
 
Sioux City Prickly Pear soda

I tried that a few days ago actually, Definitely not to my liking; it tasted a lot like watermelon Jolly Ranchers with some kind of cucumber undertone.
 
Do you guys have Bundaberg over in the US?
Its a pretty popular brand in AU and NZ.
While most well known for their ginger beer, they also have all kinds of other flavors, like sasparilla, burgundy, peach, and lemon lime and bitters, just to name a few.
The absolute chads sell their drinks exclusively in stout glass bottles (afaik)

Heads up folks, Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite is showing up in stores again.

Jolt Cola used to be sold at Dollar General stores back in 2017 but they stopped stocking it 2019 and I vaguely remember seeing it at Bevmo during the just a few months ago.

We’ve got Bundaberg here in the States although I’ve only seen their ginger beer.

I can kinda see that, I've had actual Jolly Rancher Watermelon soda before and that shit was kinda repulsive. I liked the Prickly Pear because it had a bit of an undertone of actual sourness, not my favorite and I wouldn't buy it again in any kind of regular frequency but it was good enough since I haven't eaten prickly pear in a long time. If only there were Snakefruit sodas since Snakefruit is impossible to get in the US for some reason.
 
Tried the new pomegranate flavored 7-Up recently. Actually pretty good. A little too sweet, but not bad.
 
been on a cheap generic kick, mostly wal mart since they're 69 cents a 2l
usually they're acceptable for the stuff that generics well, sprite, fruit punch, that sort of thing
tried their orange tonight and it's a pretty decent orange soda for a corn syrup one
