Mexican Fresca.
I can buy mexican coke all day long, but can't find fresca, even on amazon.

Plus my wife is allergic to corn, so she can drink the mexican fresca as well as its real sugar.

Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Inca Kola is the bomb.

The taste is hard to describe, but it's sort of a cream soda with a hint of lemony bubblegum taste. It's Peruvian, and a Coke product, so I can usually find it in the States no problem. However, I have never found Inca Kola Zero anywhere outside of Peru.

I drank so much of that stuff in Peru. The caffeine seemed to help with altitude acclimation and you can't drink the tap water there anyway, so why not a delicious yellow soda? :yum:

Most bottled tea is cloyingly sweet, but not Honest Tea. I think I've had like 500 bottles of this over the last two years.



I read somewhere that Pres. Obama drinks Honest Tea, and his favorite flavor is the green dragon tea. With all respect to the president, he is dead wrong and he is trying to lead you astray. Always get the one with the penguin on the bottle.

Both are pretty drat good, though lately ive been gulping down any manner of unsweetened tea I can get a hold of.

Sweet Leaf Lemon and Lime Unsweet Tea is my current favorite. Used to be impossible to find other than online but nearby places finally started carrying it.

If you're into extra-strong ginger ales see if you can get your hands on this, though I don't see it much outside of the south their site has a product locator:

loving poo poo yes! I remember hearing about this when the thread first started and I will tell you their product locator obviously is crap since I couldn't find it anywhere in the West. I forgot the name Blenheim before but now that I've been reminded, I know they have it at the store right up the street!

I was seriously going to order a case online to try it but the shipping....

Also Sioux City is pretty good, and I want to try the Pimento Ginger Beer.

When I was in Japan last, I kept seeing bottles of something markted as something similar to "Pico Sweat", but it wasn't 'Pico' it was something else.

Anyone happen to know what I'm talking about or am I just crazy?

Pocari Sweat, its an electrolyte drink like Gatorade. And yeah, it tastes awful, like salty flat pellegrino.

About ten years ago in Australia I bought a bottle of juice drink. It was mostly tomato juice about 70%, some else, possibly carrot, at around 20% and a little lime juice. I brought it home and drank it that night, it was the most delicious drink I ever tasted. When I went back to the store the next day and they had none left :( I never saw that drink again and I forget the brand and exact ingredients. I just remember the taste blowing me away with the lime juice making a big impact.

Has anyone got a clue what it might have been?


\/\/\/ No thats not it. Thanks though.

Hey Bro. sounds like V8 fruit and veg juice.

If it weren't for the Tim Horton's, you could be living in Virginia.

And speaking of Wegman's, they carry this poo poo:


It's deliciously gingery. And they mix it with some cayenne. Q makes a grapefruit soda that is like a less-sweet fresca, before they changed the recipe.

I haven't tried the Q stuff, but Wegman's also has this:



Delicious.

And not technically a drink, but a must if you like ginger:

Nothing beats these Australian candied ginger slices. You can find them at Bulk Barn. (Says that they're from Fiji now, but I haven't noticed any difference.)

Pretty pricey, however.

I moved out to the New England area a year ago and just recently got around to trying Moxie and I really kind of enjoy it. I'm also the sort of guy who drinks scotch warm and Jaeger on the rocks so :shrug:

As for something that I don't think has been posted here:


It's basically the soda version of green apple jolly ranchers. It's a mexican soda but you can find it in the southwest US and between it and Mountain Dew(of course) is the flavor of high school for me.

Clearly Canadian was the loving best. Also I loved the real sugar Cherry 7UP. I can't buy red grape juice because I'll drink every drop before the night's over. Real cider, that cloudy stuff, not the fake pasteurized bullshit. Jones' Strawberry Lime Soda is awesome. Oolong tea, Chai and green teas are good. Cheerwine tho, drat Cheerwine is good.

Cherry Dr. Pepper from Sonic with that fake red cherry at the bottom.

And Earl Grey tea, thanks Captain Picard!

The Clearly Canadian campaign just past the 20,000 mark, 80% of the 25,000 needed to start production! Swell!!! :D

There really is nothing else like it...I recently tried a cheap knockoff called Canada Pure - plastic bottle, more ingredients, and it tasted passable, but definitely not as nice as the real stuff.

Schweppes ginger ale has a new dark variety out. It has a touch more bite than the regular, but compared to smaller brands like Reed's, it's still no contest.

In these cold, dark days, my recipe for homemade hot cocoa is Fry's powdered cocoa, soy milk, a touch of cream for richness, and sweetened with my uncle's bold unfilitered maple syrup... :keke:
