THIS is the soda Battle Royale:
7Up
Sprite
Sierra Mist
And one or two others.

Sprite.
I rarely drink lemon-lime sodas, but if/when I do, it's Sprite, since that's the Coke option (yes, I really do get down like that). I've never even had Sierra Mist. They launched it, what, 4 or 5 years ago? That was long after I vowed, even in a pinch, never to drink Pepsi products.*
*Confession: I still drink Gatorade. Pepsi bought it about 5 years ago, and this pains me. But Gatorade is really good stuff when you need that kind of thing.

Sprite is the best. I refuse to drink 7-up. Sierra Mist is an ok alternative.

SLICE was the earlier incarnation from Pepsico.
I can not believe you prefer Gatorade over Powerade. WE prefer Powerade. MUCH better than G (or whatever they're calling it now).

You'd rather drink ... Bud Light.

It has more to do with a single flavor than anything else...I
really like Citrus Cooler Gatorade (I refuse to call it "G," and incidentally, I think it was really dumb of them to just throw that brand heritage out the window). Too many Powerade flavors seem to be blue...it looks like wiper fluid. Or maybe anti-freeze.

I like the "purple" flavors of either.

That is true, but that's a different survey.

Doesn't Mountain Dew qualify as lemon-lime?

Nah, it's under Toxic Green Stuff. See Sun Drop, Mello Yello, etc.

Does Mountain Dew actually have a flavor?

I suppose it has as much of a natural flavor as cola-products do. Whatever flavor it is, I'm not having it.

but 7-UP or Sprite are fine if my other option is a Coke.
