Xanga, Prove Me Wrong

If you think Sprite is the best, rec this post. If you think 7-Up is better, rec this post. Yes, I'm shameless but that's how I roll, deal with it and if this post doesn't make it to #1 then Xanga will shut down on March 15th.

Diet Cherry 7Up ftw, though.

Sprite is about the only soda I will drink. That's only when I can't get my hands on a peach Nehi.

Compare either to Sierra Mist and I will like them both equally. Sierra Mist is just horrible. I can't really decide between Sprite and 7UP though.

Back when I used to drink pop, I would only drink Sprite given that choice. I thought 7Up was disgusting.

Cherry soda is indeed to love. I wonder what ever happened to Cherry Smash? It was the most delicious stuff in the universe until it disappeared. Sadly, it's been absent for many years now.

If I can make my way to this post on my laptop before March 15th I will do my part to help make this dream come true. For the record, I go with 7-Up if forced to choose although I can't endorse either as a viable beverage.

FUCK YES I AM A CLOSED MINDED BASTARD! THOSE FUCKS AT PEPSI CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO THE GOOD FOLKS AT COCA-COLA OR THE GOOD PEOPLE AT DR. PEPPER SO FUCK PEPSI IN THEIR STUPID FUCKING ASSES WHILE LUBED UP WITH YOUR PRECIOUS FUCKING SIERRA MIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun Drop...come on, Sun Drop, my parents drink Sun Drop because they said that was all they had and it was out before Mountain Dew...;)
@PlansOnANapkin -

Yeah, some people have trouble rec'ing but it's the thought that counts...thanks

I can't believe people like that Gravy sing Sierra Mist's praises.

No diet, just these two and the beer is in my fridge although I think people won't like it because it's not the watered down mas produced crap.

Sprite isn't that bad especially not the Zero Sprite...maybe I need to get my pop post up again

A man who knows the best drinks sort of like how I enjoy making the brown kool aid.
@Hinase -

Oh the cream soda...can't stand that stuff. I tried the berry and cream Dr. Pepper. I bought a 12 pack and left it in my car when I was teaching and I went out at recess to get a can. It was bad. The next day a mother of a student came to borrow my vehicle and she asked if she could have a can and I gave her 11.
@hilaw -

I have an aversion to most pop except when Pepsi brought out the Throwbacks, the fake sugar burns my esophageal tract.
@godfatherofgreenbay -

Try Big Red. You might like that. I don't like anything that crazy.

@methodElevated -

I have so many problems with pop anymore, probably because I'm getting older, but the stuff with fake sugar burns my throat and it sort of gives me a intense but short heart burn.
@Miss_Vincent -

I have yet to figure out why giving someone pop when they are sick is a good idea.

@Zissu25 -

I loved their old campaign with "Make 7-Up Yours"
@dirtbubble -

7-Up goes better with liquor but Sprite is better as a stand alone. Who ever heard of a 7 and Sprite? This is my contribution to the gang.
@McScarry -

Yeah it wins especially if it's a "Which is the worst" contest
@nov_way -

Thanks, sometimes I put a lot of effort into my comments especially with the caps lock. It's a big effort.

You are wrong, and i will prove it. X = the typical tastebud of a Xangan troll. a = the alternate tastebuds of non Xangan trolls. n = a number between 1 and a billion. g = the force of gravity or more acurately "the gee spot". If X+a+n+g+a = the better of the seven major blogging sites and X-a-n-g-a is less than the value of a facebook page then X(a(n(g(a)))) is greater than X/a/n/g/a or basically, you are wrong and Xanga just proves it.

I am not familiar with the coke Rewards because I don't drink enough to warrant any rewards, I did get 6 t-shirts from 7-Up bottle caps.

SWEET! That calls me for digging up my post about old pops
@Aloysius_son -

@godfatherofgreenbay -

No. Just look for one and try it =D It's quite tasty and fulfilling even if it's a cream soda..
- 1/10/2011 9:38 PM

@Rob_of_the_Sky -

I mentioned using Cheerwine for an ice cream float at a pizza and ice cream parlor and they now offer it and it's quite popular, more popular than their Mountain Dew float.
@TheSilencedHeart -

NO! It's Xanga!
OMG! It is Xanga! What shall we ever dooo?!

- StorySeldomTold
@godfatherofgreenbay -

I do. It was supposed to be sort of a ginger ale type taste. Not the worst soda I've ever tried (Blenheim's is - ACK), but Diet Cherry will always be my favorite 7Up.

Remember Pepsi Light? It had a little dash of lemon flavor (YUM) and smelled pretty good. The ad had a bunch of singing, dancing football players in a locker room, which I found really funny for some reason. Did you try Pepsi Throwback when it was available for a few months last year? It was oh, so good. It was made using the original formula, which was sweetened with pure cane sugar, and there is a very definite difference between the taste of cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. Damn, it was tasty.
- 1/10/2011 9:49 PM
- ZombieMom_Speaks
@godfatherofgreenbay -

Cheerwine is delicious! The smell and flavor remind me of summer. It isnt as sweet as Cherry Smash, which is kind of like a carbonated version of the syrup in the maraschino cherry jar. Cheerwine is better carbonated and tickles all the way down. )
- 1/10/2011 9:54 PM
- ZombieMom_Speaks
@godfatherofgreenbay -

The carbonation and the carbohydrates (simple carbs), help settle the stomach. That's what doctors have told me.
- 1/10/2011 9:58 PM

@TheGildedCage -

Plain, non-carbonated coke syrup is good for that too. Plus, it's tasty.

I wish they still made Slice but then some would say that is what Sierra Mist is but I would say they are daft.
@TheGildedCage -

when I have stomach problems is when I drink regular coke
@Sionainne -

also do you remember dnL? It was the opposite of 7up...green, in a clear bottle and caffeinated.
I can't remember Pepsi Light but I do remember a Pepsi Free and also when Pepsi put lemon in their drinks and it tasted horrible.
See because I'm getting old I can't handle some of those pops because of the fake sugar they use so when Pepsi had the Throwbacks I was happy because I could actually handle them without burning my throat and tract but I could only have one every couple of days because I was worried about having my leg chopped off because they might make me diabetic.
That is interesting about why they give pop to you when you're sick. Never thought of it.
@UnconventionalButterfly -

NO! I like Xanga!
@ThePrince -

I don't think there is any coincidence that Royal Crown goes so well with Crown Royal.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Wasn't that on the market around the same time that Vanilla Coke (vile, bilious secretion) was introduced? I never tasted it. Was it good?

I know what you mean about the sugar. I'm diabetic and it sucks a total tailpipe. Had to go light on the Throwback, but damn it was delicious.

This is going waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back into the misspent days of my youth, but do you remember Lime Ricky? If there was a diet version available I'd be all over it, it tasted amazing.

@Sionainne -

I can't remember when but the Pepsi Lemon was at the same time as the Coke Lemon and the Pepsi Lime was at the same time as Coke Lime and that Vanilla Coke was at the same time of Vanilla Pepsi.
the opposite 7up was pretty tasty, almost like that recent Mountain Dew Distortion.

We have a drive-up here but it's only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day but it is so good although this last year the girls they had working weren't that good but maybe that's because they didn't flirt with me to get tips.
@godfatherofgreenbay -

Ha! Well at least you're smart enough to get that they usually ONLY flirt with men to get tips! I know old farts who really think the girls like them! Ha! I tell them it's only because they want a good tip.

Can I vote for a third party? We have a wonderful local soda back home called A-Treat that is 100x better than any national brand. Plus it's still 25 cents a can out of the vending machine, and the vending machine is always broken so you get like 2 cans and then it gives you the quarter back... so much win

@adamswomanlost -

I learned that early on because there had to be no other logical reason.
@carolinavenger -

Score...I should have a fringe third party candidate. That reminds me of an old Pepsi machine back when I was a kid that spit out multiple cans of Mountain Dew. When I discovered that 25 cents got me three cans I went running to my dad's store and asked for dollars of quarters. I went back with a friend and we unloaded all the Mountain Dew. My dad found out and went and narced on us.
@maniacsicko -

Don't argue and rec.
@Airustobulous -

No it doesn't. For me, this translates over to politics. When I have two choices in front of me, I usually write in my own name.
@godfatherofgreenbay -

Well, I think it has NOTHING to do with the customer (we are just another body they have to serve, and they're hoping to get $$ from us) and everything to do with them and their job. I never took it personally. Last time a waiter genuinely flirted with me (and asked me out on a date) was in 1974! Sigh.
