What's your favorite fizzy drink?

I like Mountain Dew. Do the dew!

Edit: Darn, I spelt Ginger Ale wrong. Oh well.

I don't think Ginger Ale is caffinated... or Sprite...

Eh, I guess I like Store Brand cola the most. I'm boring, yes, I know.

Mountain Dew is awesome. It has got to be my second favorite drink, next to root beer.

Mountain Dew, most definitely. I sympathize with what Jitka said in the other thread - it's like my liquid crack, and always keeps me going. It's also going to be the death of me. ;)

Root beer is definatley my favorite soda, ever. Any kind is good, except for Barqs(It tastes like it's half coke or something). I'm not a fan of cola or fruit flavored soda. I love root beer!

I agree with Aaronthing on Barq's, though I like it better than Mug (a little too watery, IMHO, though oddly enough I can drink the Sam's Choice 88-cent brand with no major issues). My favorite brands are A&W (smooth and mellow) and IBC (spicy, and it comes in glass bottles!). Anyway, final analysis: Root Beer=Splee! (splee means good. I hope.)
Ginger beer, however, another root-flavored carbonated beverage, is icky. It tastes like the smell of the inside of a cheap guitar - the scent of some sticky shellac that will never quite be dry in humid weather. It's like...root beer is pure good, and ginger beer is pure evil. An eternal battle between sarsaparilla and ginger, with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance!
Ahem. Anyway.
Other fizzies which I am fond of include all flavors of Coca-Cola not containing fake sugar (fake sugar is the icky! bleah!), particularly Vanilla and Lime (though certainly not at the same time. That would just be silly). IBC, mentioned above as purveyors of fine root beer, makes other delicious sodas, like Black Cherry, Cherry Limeade, and the very rare and difficult to obtain Berries 'n' Cream. Berries is my favorite of the bunch because it is quite possibly the only soda in the known ooniverse that is colored indigo. It's just...beautiful to behold...the dark blue limpid liquid in the glass bottle, turning purple as you gaze through it at a light source... It's the most beautiful soda in all creation. If you don't like the flavor, fine; just set it on your windowsills and enjoy their awesome (as in awe-some) beauty. Provided of course you can find any.
Another good brand of soda that comes in glass bottles (if you shop in the right places) is Crush. Orange, Grape, and Strawberry - a trinity of sparkling technicolor fruit flavors that wash your mouth with deliciousness with every drink. It's hard to find strawberry Crush, but I think it's worth it.
One more glass-bottle brand is Jones Soda Co. Despite their somewhat of a cult following, I've only sampled a couple of their flavors. I hate Green Apple, but like Juju Berry - it's exactly like 7up Plus, but without that icky evil fake sugar taste! Definitely worth an honorable mention in my book.
Speaking of 7up, I taste no discernable difference between it and Sprite. I like 'em both about the same: Sprite gets bonus points due to that little Sprite dude in their commercials (I love that little guy!), and 7up gets pointage due to the existance of dnL.
According to their marketing department, dnL is "7up upside down!"...while true alphanumerically, this is of course patently ridiculous in real life. 7up is the uncola; therefore, dnL should be cola. But it isn't! Instead, it is something much better: a brightly colored, caffinated, carbonated, sugarated lemon-lime soda sensation! "Now hold on," you may ask. "You mean like Mountain Dew?" Wrong, my deprived friend! I hate Mountain Dew! Can't stand it! But this, my friends, is dnL, the caffiene-overloaded nectar of the gods! I have to drink this divine green beverage in small sips, because if I drank too much at once, it'd probably kill me! It's probably the only thing on earth capable of giving me a sugar and/or caffiene high! Hence all the exclaimation points!
Also, um, *ahem*. Yeah. Finally, m4d pr0ps to Shasta brand Tiki Punch soda. It tastes like Hawaiian Punch pretty much, but sugarier and fizzier. Num. In the words of my boyfriend (actually one of my boyfriends, the way things are going...anyway...), "It tastes like god!" No blasphemy intended, of course, but it's just that good. Much more creative a description than the one I had come up with (something about delicious liquid drugs). Plus there's a dollar store near here that feeds my addiction for a dollar for three liters. AWESOME!

...Anyway. Sorry 'bout all this. I was participating in a very...verbose chat room while I wrote this post. ...sounds like a vocabulary word. Yep.

Oh, edit. And regarding Dr. Pepper: the first Dr. Pepper I ever had was a diet one. Not realizing that all diet sodas taste like that, I then proceeded to hate Dr. Pepper for years, until one day I finally deigned to again sample one, this time a regular. Turns out Dr. Pepper ain't all that bad (though I don't drink it too often), and further proves the evils of fake sugar. So many years without Dr. Pepper...so much time lost...who know what could have happened? What pleasures of which I was deprived? But I digress. Let us continue, then, with our paean to soda pop!

(told you. vocabamulary words. yeek.)

Well, I haven't seen them all, but Colin, of course, as my first, will always hold a special unconditional corner of my heart... Jon-without-an-aitch I really really like (but not as much as Colin! never as much as Colin! ...I am so in denial :P ), and Pat seems pretty dang awesome from the one story I've seen him in... *sigh*

Okay, now for the Soda Tyrant's opinion! The best soda is definetely Wild Cherry Pepsi. It's a great mix of smooth Pepsi taste and unique cherry flavor.

But let me just say that some of you are very misguided when it comes to root beer. Barq's Root Beer is INFINATELY better than any other root beer. It's got the perfect taste, and of course, its trademark 'bite'. So in conclusion-

Barq's Root Beer = phenominal
All other root beers = not as good as Barq's

Nozz-A-La, of course! :p

No, seriously, my favorite is Coke. Boring old Coke. I do love Vanilla Coke, though. Good stuff.

Also, Blenheim's Spicy Ginger Ale is quite delectable to my palate. And they make it in Teff's home state! What else could you ask for?

Homeschool: Yes, Barq's is the best CANNED root beer, but nothing beats freshly made root beer on tap from a keg. Nothing.

Coke. Cherry coke specifically.

Ah, very good point. Root Beer that's made by non-conglomorate companies is always good. Very flavorful.

...But to tell you the truth, I still like Barq's better. :-S

Hah! IBC's got more bite in a teaspoon than Barq's has in a 2-liter! But, you know, I stills prefer A&W. It's smooth 'n' sweet, just like me. ;)

Ya, A&W is the best of all rootbeer. It's even better (and not just rootbeer but all pop) if you water it down with like, a few table spoons of water.

Eh...I've got to agree with Homeschool on this one. I think Barq's is better than A&W.

But to tell you the truth, I don't have much of a taste for Root Beer.

I hate all brown soda. I will have Root Beer once a year though.

I don't drink caffine on principal (I have had one caffinated drink this year) so you gotta love the sprite. Or Sierra Mist. Or Seven Up.

Sprite. Ginger ale is also really good, especially if you're sick to your stummy.

How can you not like the original Amburgers & Wootbeer? Am I the only one who remembers all the A&Ws they used to have all across the country? Come on, A&W PØWNs! (Or however you say that.)
