Are all fountain Soda's created equal?

[wetwillie]

I favor the Pepsi from Taco Bell for some reason over other places...

[jtksu]

The coke from those 24 mexican places is always terrible for some reason.

Yes.  This is pretty much the only time I ever drink Pepsi.  I think they put a little more carbonation in it, or something.

Other fountain soda can GTFOOMF.

diet coke from mcdonalds owns every other soda ever created.  suck it, loser /thread

[8manpick]

They are certainly not created equal. Sometimes the Coca-Cola is far better than others. Don't know why, seems like it wouldn't be too hard to standardize and maintain the machines, but there are definitely differences depending on the day or place.

haven't had a pop (< white midwesterner lingo here) for about 8 years.

It depends on how much syrup to carbination ratio you have and if they ever "clean" the lines on the soda dispencer.

I know for a fact that Coca-Cola maintains slightly different formulas for both Coke and Diet Coke for a few high-volume corporate customers.  McDonalds Diet Coke is a different formula than any other diet coke.  H

Heard this directly from the insurance broker who handled coca-cola's product liability (and other) policies.

I think you are a rough ridin' liar.

You haven't had so much as a rum and coke in 8 years?  I call bullshit.

Olathe Lanes East has far and away the best tasting soda in Kansas.

[Saulbadguy]

Soda I drink in, in no order, but in order of how I enjoy them:

Diet Coke: McDonalds fountain, Sonic Fountain w/ low cal cherry add in, quicktrip with cherry add in, can, 20 oz
Diet Pepsi/Pepsi Max: 20 oz bottle, fountain, can
Diet Dr Pepper: Sonic fountain w/ lo cal cherry add in, McDonalds, QT with cherry AND vanilla add in, 20 oz, can
Diet Mountain Dew: 20 oz bottle, can, fountain
Root Beer: Nu-Way w/ Frosty mug, can, 20 oz, fountain
Others: 20 oz bottle, don't trust the fountain mix

Did you not read my post?  What's your problem, man?

[jdagg2003]

Dr Pepper from daylight Donuts (specifically the one in Anthony Kansas) is better then Dr Pepper pretty much everywhere else in the world. Dara's on 17th has pretty good pepsi.

They might be different formulas but they are equal formulas.

The last time I had a mixed drink that involved coke or it's equivelant I was in high school.  now, if we count "soda water" ie Kettle & soda then I've had about a million in the last 8 years but I don't think that counts.  no cherry limeades, no fruit sodas, no root beer, nothing.

Until I was about 25 I drank pop all the time all day long every day.  Wouldn't be surprised if my intake was a gallon or more per day. I stopped cold turkey and will maybe have a diet mountain dew or diet pepsi if I'm really hungover with some mexican food but other than that I don't touch the stuff. 

The weird thing is... and I can't help it.  I look down on people who drink a lot of pop now... like.. "what's wrong with you pop drinking person?" 

I'm sure SD can relate.

quit drinking soda/pop 5+ years ago.  used to drink a ton. 

don't drink any carbonated beverage other than tonic/soda water for ketel and pellegrino.

feels elite going to lunch and getting $7 worth of food, instead of $5 worth of food and a $2 drink.

also love looking down on soda addicts.
