HELLO!!!!! I THINK YOU FORGOT ONE! DR. PEPPER IS BETTER THAN EVERTHING! EVEN BETTER THAN THOSE CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS.

...Granted it's no Pepsi and moonpie...

Everybody knows that the proper companion for a Moon Pie is an RC!

back in the day RC was THE thing, you are right. RC was/is it

Do they even make RC anymore? I think it has been over 30 years since I've had one. Used to get them at the gas station down the road for like 15 cents or a quarter from the house.

They do. I still have one every once in a while with a Moon Pie (I love Moon Pies). Usually, though, I just go with a (Cherry) Coke (Zero).

Yumm - Cherry Coke is another favorite!

Agree there. I voted other because DRP (pronounced DERP) is my favorite hands down.

I can't handle any of the diet ones. I've tried them all. Being able to taste artificial sweeteners is genetic. If you can taste them, you will NOT like diet. I am extra sensitive to them (they had us lick sacarin strips in chemistry to see if we could tell... it was SO nasty that I almost ralfed . Many of my friends couldn't even taste it. Some of them puckered a little. I had the strongest reaction in the class by a landslide).

Back in college, I experimented a little with diet sodas. The ONLY one I could stomach was Diet Pepsi, and I drank it for a about two weeks, but soon just switched to water cause it was just too nasty.

Anyway, Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb are my favorites.

yep, forgot about Dr. Pepper! I will usually order that if available.

I like them too, but I prefer Mr. Pibb, and not just because it's the Coca-Cola option. It tastes just a tad sweeter than Dr. Pepper to me, and I like that.
If I'm someplace that sells Pepsi products and I really want a soda, I'll go with Dr. Pepper, because it's technically not a Pepsi product. The Dr. Pepper/7Up company is a stand-alone outfit; Dr. Pepper is just often distributed alongside Pepsi products.

I like the banana Moon Pies. I get them frequently when I'm on the road long distance and want a snack to carry me until dinner.

I thought you always kept corned beef and/or pastrami in a cooler on the front seat... :roll:

Any one remember Jolt Cola?

I remember being specifically told I wasn't allowed to buy it on the first overnight school/church youth group trips I went on as a middle schooler. Never tasted it though.

It was like gold at TIP, too...the Dope Shop and the Lobby Shop would both sell out within hours of the camp starting, and if they got a new shipment during the session, that would sell out in hours, too.

I didn't include Dr Pepper since I don't consider it cola (is it?) ... it's just it's own thing. And I'd choose it over cola any day.

bjornolf, I'm like you. I can taste the sweeteners. They're not sweet at all, but very bitter and puckery.

DP is awesome, as well as Mr. Pibb. (One good thing Coca-Cola makes )
It's always interesting to try the off-brand sodas.

Folks, this and this are what you get for drinking Pepsi.

Easy solution, drink from a bottle. Those people are lucky. They get to deal with FDA. He appears to be everywhere.

If the folks in this article know what's right, they'll tell FDA that they too want Wally Wade updated.

Shouldn't this story be put in Ozzie's FDA thread? ;)

Interesting bit of trivia: when Sam's Choice cola first appeared on the market it was made by RC. I don't know if that is still the case.

What's odd is that the first link story headline claimed it was a mouse (with no attribution as to the mouse claim), but the FDA report suggested a "frog or toad."

Claims like this happen a lot against different businesses.

So, you mean to say that Coca-Cola hasn't been without its own controversies?

No puppies died as a result of this post. ;)
