I encourage children who are bullied to kill themselves. In fact, I get off to it. Pedophilia-snuff films are the best. More abused children need to kill themselves.
You can pretty much only get in New Zealand and it's quite expensive but it tastes so refreshing and incredibly good with gin or vodka:

You're on the right track, but you've got the scrub-tier fruit. Lemon is what they put in children's drinks. Oranges are edible right off the tree. You want the good stuff, you need to go for the fruits that are so bitter and unpleasant they're normally only used to make liquor.

Fanta Aranciata. My family visited Italy for a few weeks in '87 and this was my drink of choice. My uncle would always sneak a few cans back for my brother and I when he flew back to the states. Doesn't taste anything like Fanta orange we get in the states and the San Pelegrino aranciata you can get here tastes like a mixture spoiled orange juice and piss.

Similar to root beer, but not as sweet and with a cooling menthol taste.

I have no idea what "natural caffeine" is but these are probably the best tasting energy drinks I've ever had.



If we're allowing energy drinks... V is the goddamned poo poo and is the sole reason I actually have my chemistry degree at all. It's a little sour and very sweet and I don't know why it's so goddamned tasty. You can only really find it in Australia or New Zealand, I think.

It's widely available in the UK as well but only the original full sugar version.

Kvass. I don't speak outside of the alphabet and this poo poo might not be great at the start but it will grow on you. Depending on the brand you get hints of raisin or butterscotch in this malt soda. I've had one brand smell and taste like soy sauce.

I'd post a pic of Malta Goya as well but it's just a different malt soda. Mexican sodas made with sugar are great however they will mercilessly drive you to insanity with how much sugar they are packing. I've gotten instant hangover+migraine with no alcohol involved from a full jarritos variety pack and little self control. I don't have a refractometer but I'd imagine jarritos is higher up there for sodas on the brix scale.

I can't remember details(aside from Purple) but at one point as a kid I got to try honest-to-god name brand Sizzurp. Ahhhh, those were good days.

Delicious; not sure if it tastes more like real lemons, or like the way lemons taste in your head when you're thinking of how good lemons are. My local shop that gets this stuff hasn't had it in months. :(

it's swamp water. it's a taste like combined cream soda, orange and grape soda, dr. pepper, and root beer. it's utterly perplexing. every once in a while i drink one just to feel utter bafflement and confusion. i don't understand how this drink has managed to get so big that it has claimed an entire loving aisle in every Scottish grocery store.

Irn-Bru is the greatest soft drink. It tastes a bit like every other existing soft drink in one and, like Captain Planet, their powers are combined within it.

It's also God's own hangover cure. The amount of sugar in even just a 330ml can is enough to make you able to see through existence like you're loving Neo.

I grew up with this poo poo, and it kills me that a 1 litre bottle in NZ is like $11. Every now and then I'll spoil myself so I can remember what rapid-onset diabetes tastes like.

Anything else is just glorified ginger ale. This stuff burns in the best possible way, and is the best thing ever with a squeeze of lime.

Fever Tree is also okay, but better suited to mixed drinks than on it's own.

Man I miss this poo poo. It's the first thing I drink when I arrive back home. Then a loving decent coffee.

I was always a Diet Coke fiend and still am. But when I moved to the US I discovered the sweet nectar of fountain "crack" Coke. We have postmix in aus but it's just not the same. poo poo is the best and I've had to cut it out (ok maybe down to 1) during pregnancy.

Oh yeah, kvass is great.

There's also a mexican soda called Milca or something like that, it's in a red can and labelled soda roja or something, and it tastes kind of like Big Red that you can get at white castle, that is, like liquid red vines. It's nasty sugary but sometimes, you're an idiot and that's what you need.

Jones is surprisingly hard to find in stores despite being a local company for me. I usually get it when I'm at my local game shop, and would buy the poo poo out of it if I ever found a grocery store that sold it. I really like their 30 calorie sodas since they still have good flavor while not being straight syrup like their regular ones.

Much, much more.


Difficult to find at the best of times outside South Carolina, and then only at ludicrous prices, Blenheim is a magnificent ginger ale. It fights back, for drat sure, and most folks I connive into trying it get about a quarter of a bottle in and give up.

Which means more for me, because I'm a bastard.

I wish you could get Mello Yello in the UK, but apparently it's now illegal to be sold in the EU because it has brominated vegetable oil in it.

Also, I am told that Mello Yello Zero is a thing that exists, but I've never EVER seen it. Prior to the EU ban full fat Mello Yello was very rare indeed and generally only available at those slightly concerning 'American sweets' shops that seem to be popping up everywhere nowadays. I'd love some of that, because Christ almighty the full fat stuff has a lot of sugar.

Doesn't stop it being wonderful though.

According to the Snopes, both Coke and Pepsi removed brominated vegetable oil from all their products by the end of 2014 or so. I remember when this was a thing, but I thought both companies finally caved in. So someone might have some for sale somewhere. I used to have a Coke machine with Mello Yellow across the hall from my classroom and had a can every morning. Then, Michelle Obama took that away from me.
