:shrug: I make my own soda. I bought one of those sodastream machines a few years ago, and they suck(so do their shitty premixed syrup flavors). So I just made my own. CO2 tank, carbonator cap with a regulator gauge. I did it mainly to use xylitol(my favorite sugar) as a substitute to all of this HFCS. Ginger beer, cherry 7up, sprite, and I can fool anyone with my "original recipe" coke knockoff. It costs like $0.23 per 2liter. But as far as store bought stuff goes....
Mexican coke > all.
But I like RC from the tap, the best of tap colas, and Pepsi throwback from the can best for can colas, with RC a close 2nd. Coke from the bottle > Pepsi in a bottle.
I like Dr. Pepper too, but I prefer Pibb 100x more. Add some fresh lemon(not the crap you find in self-serve soda fountains) and enjoy.

Looking at that map thing, it's kinda interesting how I'm in an area that supposedly says "pop" 80-100% of the time and yet everyone I know (including myself) says "soda" :dunno:

Same here.
What is even more interesting, is how this research was done to conclude on such statistics. Not that I give a shit. Call it whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner

It's not that complicated. But yeah, it's my OCD. I have to break everything down, which naturally just leads me to building my own stuff.

There's the map. You can click on each state for a county by county breakdown. Some counties they didn't even do, such as Calhoun and Pope county in Illinois, so I'm not sure how they determined their color.

Barely. 6 said Pop, 5 said Coke.
Were you one of the 16 respondants in Clinton county? 2003, you were like 46 or 47 years old back then right?

I know that. These surveys have been going on for a LONG time, and every time I wonder how they are done. I don't remember getting polled, do you? LOL
Hell, if someone stopped me and said, "sir, can I take a moment of your time to ask you a few questions", I might just say whatever is quickest to get them out of my face. I have a feeling that a lot of people would as well.
3500 people polled in Cook Co. 4 million residents. Hmmmm.
/my gripe with "scientific" polling, and how they mold undecided perception with unintended(or sometimes purposeful) bias.
