Water or iced tea. I can't stand carbonated beverages unless they're cut with something that's at least eighty proof.

I don't have a favorite iced tea but Dasani and Aquafina are my favorite bottled waters.

I also like Sunny Delight.

Usually Pepsi. But for some reason Coke tastes better when I'm hungover and eating leftover pizza.

I find it funny when obese ppl drink Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. As if it was going to make a goddamn bit of difference to them...

I'm pretty much on water now in an effort to lose weight, but when I have soda it's always Coke (or one of its variants). Never Pepsi! Pepsi isn't just evil, it's eeeeevvvviiiilllll!!!

Am I the only one in North America that really likes Pepsi Blue?

Behind that it is Dr. Pepper than Vanilla coke

I love Dr. Pepper, and I like Red Fusion too though I'd rather have the regular DP. But I make sure to drink plenty of water, in fact when I'm home from college, I never drink any soda since my family's never really liked soda that much.

I used to love coke but now I've seemed to develop a hate for it. I can taste the difference between coke and pepsi.

I hate HATE anything with diet prefixed to the name, they all taste like ammonia.

Yes...yes you are.

Seriously...you are the first person I know who has tried it and actually liked it. I bought one bottle because I'm a sucker for trying new things. I only drank about half of it before I gave up on it forever.

Blind taste tests are usually from plastic bottles. All sody-pop tastes like crap out of plastic. You might try the same test out of a fountain at 7-11 (although they mix weak).
Best Coke is out of the US where they don't use "high-fructose corn syrup" as the sweetener. REAL sugar instead. Same for all other 'sugared' soda in US.
Had a Coke from Phillipines recently, excellent.

Vanilla coke for me, followed by Diet Coke with Lemon.

I tried Pepsi Blue once, it gave me the shits, literally!

Until the leaders of the country these two international Icons symbolize, start behaving themselves (or get incarcerated or replaced), I'm buying neither.
It's Spa-Fruit for me until then (mmm, lemon and cactus) - fruity Belgian goodness.
