Sweet! America's top 10 brands of soda - Business - US business - Food Inc. | NBC News Sweet! America's top 10 brands of soda Whatever happened to 7 UP? And people really actually drink Fanta Below: Expand AP It was the biggest victory in the Cola Wars since Michael J. Fox picked up his first can of Pepsi: Diet Coke last year passed Pepsi to move into second place in U.S. soft drink popularity. But the sales figures — released last week by the trade publication Beverage Digest — brought up many more questions than answers for consumers of sugary carbonated beverages. What ever happened to 7 Up? Are there really enough 13-year-old boys in the U.S. to keep Mountain Dew in fourth place? And who the hell drinks Fanta? The Top 5 drinks from 2010 were Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper. Soft drink sales are on the decline overall in the U.S., although diet drinks are taking less of a hit. There were four diet sodas in the Top 10 in 2010 — twice as many as 2000.

Accompanying this article are breakdowns of all 10 most popular beverages, including historical facts, great moments in product placement and any presidents or pontiffs who have been seen consuming the drink. 1. Coca Cola Introduced: 1886 Archrival: Pepsi-Cola Target market: Pretty much everyone. The 17 percent market share is higher than Pepsi and Mountain Dew combined, and the drink is reportedly recognized by 94 percent of the world’s population. Product placement: While hundreds of television shows, films and other forms of media have featured Coke as product placement, we’re declaring “American Idol” the winner for its relentlessly awkward Coke drops (narrowly beating out “The Cosby Show”). Fun fact: Coca Cola was the first soft drink in outer space, consumed by members of the Space Shuttle Challenger in something called a “Coca Cola Space Can.” Introduced: 1983 Archrival: Diet Pepsi Target market: After destroying diet soda trailblazer Tab in its first years of existence, Diet Coke has dominated a wide demographic. Diet Coke has always seemed aimed at a slightly older age group, although it has become more popular recently among young adults and teens.

Product placement: Diet Coke benefited from perhaps the ultimate product placement in the U.S. — the hand of the president of the United States. For eight years, President Clinton was frequently photographed holding a can. Fun fact: Artists ranging from Lady Gaga to Frank Sinatra have included Diet Coke on their touring contract rider. 3. Pepsi-Cola Introduced: 1898 Archrival: Coca Cola Target market: Introduced originally with the far less appetizing name “Brad’s Drink,” Pepsi has reinvented itself several times over the years — and since the 1980s has been aiming at the younger generation. Product placement: In 1959, Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev and then-Vice President Richard Nixon chatted while drinking small goblets of Pepsi at the Moscow World’s Fair. Fun fact: The original Pepsi advertising tagline was “Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion.” 4. Mountain Dew Introduced: 1948 Archrival: Mello Yello Target market: Based on the advertising over the past decade-and-a-half, Mountain Dew seems to be aiming squarely at injury-prone 17-year-olds.

After the caffeinated, vaguely nuclear-looking beverage gained a reputation as “rocket fuel,” PepsiCo has associated the drink with fast times, all-night video game binges and extreme sports — to great success. Product placement: Mountain Dew has appeared everywhere from “Men in Black II” to the X Games. But it will forever be in the product placement shadow of Mello Yello, which adorned Tom Cruise’s car in “Days of Thunder.” Fun fact: The name “Mountain Dew” was apparently a reference to moonshine. Introduced: 1885 Archrival: Pibb Xtra Target market: Dr Pepper has a very distinct taste, which tends to attract loyal customers. Most of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group’s advertising over the years (“I’m a Pepper, you’re a Pepper …”) seems to celebrate its difference from the other colas. It’s the oldest popular soft drink, and was invented in Waco, Texas. Product placement: In one of the product placement coups of all time, Dr Pepper was the preferred drink of Forrest Gump, who drank about 15 free bottles and told President John F. Kennedy “I gotta pee.” Fun fact: Randy Newman once wrote a Dr Pepper theme song.

Also, even the makers of Dr Pepper don’t claim to know for sure where the name came from. 6. Sprite Introduced: 1961 Archrival: 7 Up; Sierra Mist Target market: The Coca Cola Company beverage, created to compete with 7 Up, was originally promoted heavily as a alcoholic drink mixer. But it has since become popular with a much younger demographic, and is marketed with more forceful slogans (“Obey your thirst!”) alongside popular NBA players and hip-hop stars. Product placement: Sprite had a product placement connection with the TV show “Lost,” which fans seemed to hate. Fun fact: Sprite released a product called Sprite Zero in 1973 — more than three decades before Coca-Cola Zero was released in 2004. 7. Diet Pepsi Introduced: 1964 Archrival: Diet Coke Target market: Diet Pepsi was the third major diet cola (after Diet Rite and Diet Dr Pepper), introduced almost two decades before Diet Coke. The drink has since developed many low calorie competitors, including some distributed by PepsiCo. Pepsi Light was a lemon-flavored diet cola sold in the U.S. during the 1970s and 80s.

The company currently distributes Pepsi ONE and Pepsi Max. Product placement: In the “Back to the Future” movies, the rivers ran brown with Diet Pepsi (and its close cousin, Pepsi Free). Fun fact: Diet Pepsi was originally called Patio Diet Cola Introduced: 1988 Archrival: Diet Mello Yello Target market: Similar to Mountain Dew, Diet Mountain Dew is aimed for young go-getters. From its first few years, commercials have featured young, mostly male, daredevil types. (So look for the drink in “Jackass” sequels, and not so much in Hallmark Hall of Fame movies.) Product placement: Arguably the most frequently promoted diet drink in recent years. If you believe the advertising/product placement, Diet Mountain Dew is the preferred beverage of Freddy Krueger, the Transformers and Abraham Lincoln. Fun fact: Diet Mountain Dew contains 55 milligrams of caffeine, compared to about 45 milligrams for Diet Coke and 36 milligrams for Diet Pepsi. 9. Diet Dr Pepper Introduced: 1963 Archrival: Pibb Zero Target market: Anyone who thinks Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke just aren’t sweet enough.

With the famous “Be a Pepper” campaign in the past, Diet Dr Pepper has unveiled several high-profile ads aimed at younger drinkers. They seem to be working: Diet Dr Pepper enjoyed a 5 percent domestic sales bump in 2010. Product placement: The drink seems to favor fictional characters with superhuman powers — Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper have appeared in recent Spider-Man, X-Men and Iron Man movies. Fun fact: The original name of the drink was “Dietetic Dr. Pepper.” 10. Fanta Top 25 Sodas NOT Coke or Pepsi | eclectikrelaxation.com Top 25 Sodas NOT Coke or Pepsi May 30, 2013 I want to talk soda.

Soda is great (Midwest Pop) and I was recently thinking about all the times growing up where we’d hit the stores and sit outside drinking soda in the summer, and we’d try and find new drinks no one else had we’d use the bottle caps in slingshots, we’d crush the cans and walk on them like shoes lol The Sodas you cant find anymore … figured I’d count down my favorites My favorites that are NOT Pepsi or Coca Cola … that’s too easy, besides they have SO many different kinds of Pepsi and Coke that would be a whole post (Besides, I’d just type about how great Crystal Pepsi is … it’s better than your entire life) Anyway, wait. no, Pepsi and Coke basically make all the other sodas anyway (you’ll see) blah blah blah, my top 25 Sodas that are NOT Coke or Pepsi 25. Mr. Pibb (Coke) Mr. Pibb was fake out Dr. Pepper, it was fine but it wasn’t better than the original, didn’t really move anyone 24.

Sprite (Coke) Sprite was great, the alternative to 7-Up, when it first dropped it was great … they had some steam, had Hi-Five do a commercial and the whole thing, 7-Up came back with new flavors and blew Sprite out of the water though The Sprite Remix and Sprite Zero couldn’t save it 23. Welch’s Welch’s was only known for juices but in the 80s they dropped soda! Of course the Grape soda was a mainstay in the hood, they also came with strawberry, fruit punch and pineapple … for a while you just had to cop Welch’s because no one else knew about it and you looked cool on your bike 22. Dr. Pepper Dr. Pepper has a love/hate flavor …. It doesn’t taste like anything else (Cept Mr. Pibb) The odd thing is, no one is clamoring to find out the recipe though lol. For a while they tried to come with some new flavors; they had Berries and Cream, Cherry, Red Fusion, and the original “Heritage Dr.

Pepper” but people pretty much stuck with the regular or avoided it all together When you’re in the mood for it, it’s great (Goes good with Absinthe as well lol) 21. Josta (Pepsi) The first energy soda, Josta got you wired! Fruit, Spice, Caffeine and Guarana! … It was very popular for a minute, when it got pulled people started up campaigns to bring it back 20. RC (Dr. Pepper) RC Cola got dissed, The Coke and Pepsi basically took over the Cola crown but RC was the first to come in a can, the first to do diet (Diet Rite), firs to go Caffeine free … but people just copied and did it better lol 19. Tropicana (Pepsi) Tropicana Twister Soda was great when it came out, at the time a lot of the fruit flavored sodas had fallen off and they came through with the Tropicana name and some good Orange soda … of course they did the standard grape and strawberry as well, but the Orange was where it was at. 18. 7-Up (Dr. Pepper) The UnCola!

7-Up was the direct opposite of Pepsi and coke, “Crisp and Clean with no Caffeine” no one disliked it, as a kid we’d take candy and put it in our glass of 7-up and let it take the flavor of the candy The Cherry 7-up was incredible when it came out … everyone was on that … and never forget the upside down dnL 7-Up! 7-Up was clear, no caffeine and in the green bottle, and dnL was Green, full of caffeine and in a clear bottle lol 17. Nehi (Dr. Pepper) Growing up we had glass bottles, cans, and then 2-liters of soda … I’ll never forget the day I went to the store and saw Nehi, not only were there a ton of flavors, it was the first soda I had ever seen in THREE LITERS! I gravitated to the Peach, but nehi had almost every flavor available from Blue Ice Cream to Watermelon … even Nehi Chocolate! 16.

Hubba Bubba This is a nod to the 80s for real, EVERYONE was on the Hubba Bubba Soda, we drank it like it was going out of style (and it was) you’d eventually get tired of drinking bubble gum but in its day, the coolest of the cool downed that Hubba son! 15. Squirt (Dr. Pepper) One of the best citrus flavored sodas ever, it had more of a grapefruit taste than lemon and lime like the others, they also came with Ruby Red Squirt for a minute too … good drinking there 14. Mountain Dew The Dew was the best of both worlds when we found out about it, it had the not-cola taste and it was loaded with caffeine! Then the rumor about Dew causing your penis to shrink … we dropped it like a bad habit LOL 13. Crush We use to argue which was the better one: Orange Crush or Sunkist … those two were the Hogan and Flair of Orange sodas … there was a time when Crush had pulp in the bottles!

In my day Crush only had two flavors Orange and Grape, later they’ve released nehi level flavors (Also including Chocolate) … but I only recognize the two, I’m OG lol 12. Ginger Ale Ginger Ale is an acquired taste, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like it … when I was young it was my mother’s go-to when I was feeling bad (that and/or 7-Up) to this day, if I feel like I’m getting a cold, I cop the Ginger ale I put it as its own categories here and just recognize Canada Dry and Seagram’s together here … and my personal favorite at the time Schweppes! Schweppes was GREAT back then 11. Root Beer Same as Ginger Ale, we will put all the different types here together: Mug, Barqs, A &W, Stewarts, etc One when you were a kid and were allowed to drink something called “Beer” you were down, and then the taste was like nothing else ever, the spice, the caramel flavor, just all around great … if only the popular brands had caffeine Plus … you can’t beat a nice Root beer Float son! 10. Sunkist (Dr.

Pepper) As far as I was concerned Sunkist was THE Orange soda … it probably had the most sugar per bottle back in the day … we bounced off the walls after a Sunkist … Plus it had the Good vibrations commercial! 9. Jolt Speaking of bouncing off the walls … “All the sugar, and twice the caffeine” Jolt was everywhere in the neighborhood, then it was on TV, Gremlins 2, Deep impact … Jurassic Park LOL then they tried to ruin it with less caffeine and Jolt 25 but the original was the second best high caffeine content soda ever 8. Mello Yello I remember Mello Yello in the vending machines … the glass bottle vending machines; you’d put your money in and open the door to pull out the soda Mello Yello was Mountain Dew before we knew about Mountain Dew, it was yellow … it was full of caffeine … that’s all we needed 7.

Original New York Seltzer This pick is real high for something the majority of people reading this never heard of LOL But growing up, we’d hit the stores looking for something new, and these little round bottles had flavors you couldn’t find anywhere else (at the time) they had Black Cherry and Raspberry … Vanilla Creme and Peach! We lost our minds lol … plus New York, Seltzer, just sounded like we were grown LOL 6. Cream Soda I LOVE Cream Soda, you can’t find it anymore! (Well I can when I go back home) Cream soda with that vanilla flavor … just incredible We had 2 go -to Cream Sodas back in the day: A &W Vanilla cream soda and Barq’s Red Cream Soda … that Red Cream Soda ruled my childhood! 5. Surge (Coke) THE soda! When this Ooze Green soda dropped everyone rushed to get it! They called it the Mountain Dew Killer LOL it had orange juice in it and a ton of caffeine … this was another soda that had people up in arms and campaigns to save it when it was discontinued #SaveSurge 4. Faygo Bottom line Peach Faygo was the World Champion of the hood.

No one drank any other flavor either LOL They had “Dr. Faygo” all the way to Coconut and Chocolate Creme Pie soda … but it was always about Peach … still is. And shoutouts to the Faygo “Spinoffs” Ohana and Rip it 3. Tahitian Treat Another soda that a lot of people don’t know about … and I have it top 3, but it’s my list so live with it. Tahitian Treat was the drink it was like if Sprite, Cream soda and Hawaiian Punch had a manage LOL If you haven’t had it, find it and drink it 2. Vernors The Legend. The Original. The Soda. Vernors Ginger soda is one of the greatest drinks on the planet … we don’t classify this as “Ginger Ale” because it’s Sooo much more Can’t even put into words the taste, it’s ginger ale, ginger beer, sprite, 7-up, angle tears lol If you’re fortunate enough to find some, cherish it (Just hit the Midwest dun!) 1. Slice (Pepsi) stumbleupon Email Comment Do you know that the first soft drink or carbonated beverage was marketed in the 17th century?

It was made with water and lemon juice sweetened with honey until English chemist Joseph Priestly developed carbonated water in the 18th century. From then on, the production of soft drinks became a big industry. Beverage Digest, a publication dedicated to report about the global non-alcoholic beverage industry, reported the top 10 soft drinks company in the world. In the report, The Coca Cola Company is the number one soft drinks company followed by PepsiCo, Nestle, Suntory, Dr Pepper/Snapple, Danone, Kirin, Red Bull, Master Kong and Asahi. Since the late 1800’s, soft drink giants The Coca Cola Company and PepsiCo have always been head to head for the top spot. It was only in 2005 when Pepsi surpassed The Coca Cola Company in market value. In the 1990’s, PepsiCo delivered other products such as snack foods and non-carbonated beverages aside from the Pepsi Brand. What are the top 10 bestselling soft drinks in the world? Below is the official list based on the 2013 data of the Beverage Digest. 10. Diet Dr Pepper (Dr.

Pepper/Snapple) Diet Dr Pepper is just one of the brand’s soft drink variants. Dubbed as “the world’s oldest major soft drink brand in America”, Dr Pepper was created by Charles Alderton in 1880’s in Waco, Texas. Diet Dr Pepper came out into the market in 1962 and was named as “Sugar Free Dr. Pepper”. In 2006, Dr Pepper was also ranked as the 10th bestselling soft drink. 9. Fanta (Coca Cola) Fanta is a fruit-flavored carbonated soft drink created by the Coca Cola Company. It was developed in Germany in 1941 when the Coca Cola syrup was difficult to import to the country due to a trade embargo. Fanta has over 100 different flavors around the world some of which are available only by region. In the United States, its main flavors are orange, pineapple, grape and strawberry. 8. Diet Mountain Dew (PepsiCo) Diet Mountain Dew is owned and manufactured by PepsiCo. The original Mountain Dew recipe was created by two Tennessee beverage bottlers, Barney and Ally Hartman in 1940.

In 1988, the caffeinated citrus-flavored soft drink formerly known as “Sugar-free Mountain Dew” was introduced in 1988. Other variants of Diet Mountain Dew are “Code Red”, “Voltage”, and “Ultra Violet”. 7. Diet Pepsi (PepsiCo) Diet Pepsi is the no-sugar variant of Pepsi-Cola produced by PepsiCo. It was introduced to the market in 1964 and became the first diet cola to be distributed throughout the United States. In Europe, Diet Pepsi is labelled “Pepsi Light” or “Pepsi Diet”. It has other flavor variants including vanilla, lemon, wild cherry, lime and caffeine-free Diet Pepsi. 6. Sprite (Coca Cola) Manufactured and produced by the Coca Cola Company, Sprite is a colorless lemon-lime flavored soft drink. The Coca Cola Company introduced the soft drink to the market to compete against PepsiCo’s 7 Up. Sprite has many variations including Zero, Super Lemon, Remix, Ice and Super Chilled among others. Sprite’s packaging is a green transparent bottle with a green and blue label. 5. Dr. Pepper (Dr.

Pepper/Snapple) Dr Pepper was introduced in 1885 and became commercially available in the United States in 1904. It was first marketed as a brain tonic and energy drink just like how the other sodas were marketed at that time. Aside from the soft drink itself, Dr Pepper has other products dedicated to its flavor but is manufactured by other companies. Examples of these are Dr Pepper jelly beans made by The Jelly Bean Company, “Lip Smackers” Dr Pepper lip balm flavor by cosmetic brand Bonne Bell, Dr Pepper slurpee and “Dr Pepper Cherry Dessert Topping” by Vita Foods Products among others. Dr Pepper has over 23 flavors. 4. Mountain Dew (PepsiCo) Moutain Dew or Mtn Dew is a citrus-flavored carbonated soft drink made by PepsiCo. After it was invented by Barney and Ally Hartman in 1940, they also presented the soft drink product to Coca Cola but were turned down until the brand was officially acquired by PepsiCo in 1964. Mountain Dew has over 30 different flavors to offer.

American fast food restaurant, Taco Bell, sealed a deal in 2004 to exclusively distribute the right to carry Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Further, the soft drink brand has been sponsoring individual “X-games” athletes since the 1990’s including skateboarders Eli Reed and Paul Rodriguez Jr and snowboarder Danny Davis. 3. Pepsi (PepsiCo) Pepsi was originally named Brad’s Drink when it was first introduced to the public in 1893. It was developed by Caleb Bradham, a pharmacist, at his drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina. It was later renamed to Pepsi-Cola in August 1898 and was shortened to Pepsi in 1961. The Coca Cola Company offered to purchase PepsiCo but was declined by the company. From then on, they have become rivals in the beverage industry. Pepsi has more than fifty major flavors sometimes released in limited editions in other countries. 2. Diet Coke (Coca Cola) Diet Coke or Coca Cola light was first introduced by The Coca Cola Company in 1982. It became the first brand by the company under the Coca Cola trademark.

Diet Coke has over twelve variants including Diet Cherry Coke, Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Vanilla Coke, Diet Raspberry Coke and many more. 1. Coca Cola Classic (Coca Cola) Owned and manufactured by The Coca Cola Company, Coca Cola was invented by American pharmacist John Pemberton in the late 19th century at a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia. It was initially introduced in the market as a patent medicine. Coca Cola is simply referred to as “Coke”, which became a registered trademark by The Coca Cola Company in the United States in 1944. It became a national icon in the U.S.A. when Coca Cola celebrated its 50th anniversary. Aside from the classic Coca Cola flavor, it has numerous flavor variants available worldwide including Coca Cola Cherry, Coca Cola with Lemon, Coca Cola Vanilla, Coca Cola Raspberry, Coca Cola Orange and Vanilla Coke.

155 Shares Best Soft Drink In Every State - Best Soda In Every State - Thrillist Only Crazy People Get Engaged Without Discussing It First Soda is as integral a part of American history as the hamburger or Nicolas Cage's repeated attempts to thwart it, and while most soft drinks under the sun are now owned and bottled by one of three major companies, there's still a rich tapestry of "hand-crafted", mom-and-pop soda companies out there doing what they've been doing for the last hundred years or so -- and doing it damn well. Each state might call these products something different (soda, pop, tonic, fizzy yum-yum juice), but there's no disputing that Americans love their soft drinks. And with so many folks brewing them across so many states, there're bound to be some that rise above the rest. This map is an homage to sodas with intimate ties (not that kind of intimate) to different places; some are made exclusively in that state, some are loved the hardest in that state, and some are just the Dakotas, and make us confused. So here are the iconic soft drinks of every state in America (and you can click here for a blown-up version of the above image ).

Disagreements/comments/$.05 deposits (except in Michigan) can be made in the section below: ALABAMA - GRAPICO Grapico was founded in Louisiana in 1914, but moved to Alabama in 1917 -- and there it has stayed, both physically and in the hearts of Alabamians. ALASKA - PEPSI Alaska doesn't have as big of a soda culture as other states, but there is a Pepsi bottling plant there. So it's got that going for it, which is nice. ARIZONA - CACTUS COOLER This orange-pineapple drink has a big presence in the Southwest, where it's moderately preferable to actual cacti. ARKANSAS - GRAPETTE Grapette, once a grape soda titan of Arkansas, is now a Sam's Club soda, but that doesn't diminish its years of dominance in the Southern market. CALIFORNIA - A&W A&W was founded in California back in 1919, and their root beer remains a huge hit there to this day.

COLORADO - IZZE These carbonated fruit drinks exploded onto the market back in 2002, and even though they were bought by PepsiCo in 2006, they remain a Colorado invention. CONNECTICUT - FOXON PARK It's impossible to find a pizzeria in New Haven that doesn't stock Foxon Park, a Connecticut-bred soda company that's been around since 1922. DELAWARE - OLD DOMINION ROOT BEER Dominion, also a brewery, makes a heck of a root beer -- it's sweetened with honey & sugar, and it's made right in Dover. FLORIDA - ANY FOUNTAIN SODA OUT OF A 7-ELEVEN BIG GULP Self-explanatory. GEORGIA - COCA-COLA The headquarters of the world's favorite soda is located here. They've got a museum. RC Cola may have a strong foothold here, but this is Coke country. HAWAII - HAWAIIAN SUN OK, so it's not technically a real soft-drink since it's not carbonated.

But ask any Hawaiian what their favorite beverage is, and they'll tell you it's Pass-O-Guava (or POG) nectar. And Hawaiian Sun makes the best. IDAHO - IRON PORT This one's not a brand, but rather a style of drink sold at soda fountains throughout Idaho -- Iron Port is kinda like root beer with a spicier kick. Related Flickr/Amy Meredith NEBRASKA - KOOL-AID Kool-Aid is Nebraska's official state soft drink (one of only two states to have one) and was invented there in 1927. NEVADA - RED BULL More a postulation than anything, we're just assuming that everyone in Nevada needs Red Bull to keep going. NEW HAMPSHIRE - SQUAMSCOT Brewed and bottled in New Hampshire, Squamscot comes in flavors like birch beer, strawberry, and the mysterious "half & half". NEW JERSEY - BOYLAN'S Bottled in various locations all over New Jersey since its founding in 1891, Boylan's now makes a hell of a black-cherry soda, and all of their offerings come in retro-style bottles.

NEW MEXICO - BLUE SKY Blue Sky's a natural soft drink producer founded in Santa Fe in 1980. It doesn't operate out of there anymore, but we kinda had to pick it due to its inherent Breaking Bad parallels. NEW YORK - DR. BROWN'S No New York deli would be complete without a case full of Dr. Brown's, which comes in an array of flavors that include cream, black cherry, and... celery. NORTH CAROLINA - CHEERWINE There's no disputing -- North Carolinians love their Cheerwine . NORTH DAKOTA - COCA-COLA DAMMIT, WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING FOR NORTH DAKOTA. So we just made their soda Coke. Get your act together, North Dakota! OHIO - CHERIKEE RED Rarely found outside Ohio, Cherikee Red is a cherry-flavored drink that was first produced there back in 1969. OKLAHOMA - DUBLIN DR. PEPPER A variety of Dr. Pepper that uses cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup, Dublin Dr. Pepper was discontinued back in 2012...

but you can still find it in soda fountains all over Oklahoma. You go, Oklahoma! OREGON - THOMAS KEMPER Thomas Kemper was founded in Washington, but popularized in Portland when it was bought by a local company in 2006, and is now a local icon. They're the purveyors of fine, old-fashioned HFCS-less sodas. PENNSYLVANIA - A-TREAT A-Treat started in 1918 in Allentown and continues to be the hometown favorite of many a wayward Philadelphian. Their birch beer is a must. RHODE ISLAND - YACHT CLUB SODA Yacht Club is one of Rhode Island's beverage companies (and may well be one of its only companies, period), and they brew a wide variety of sodas, from birch beer to grape to peach seltzer. SOUTH CAROLINA - BLENHEIM GINGER ALE Since 1903, Blenheim has been producing some of the country's finest ginger ales in Hamer, South Carolina -- in mild, hot, and diet varieties.

SOUTH DAKOTA - COCA-COLA The Dakotas have really got to ramp up their soda game, because South Dakota, too, was impossible to find any soda for. Pretty safe to say they like Coke there, though. TENNESSEE - RC COLA Famous in the South due to its status as one half of a working man's lunch (the other being a Moon Pie), RC Cola's made in Georgia, but it's pretty beloved in Tennessee, as well. TEXAS - DR. PEPPER If you ask a Texan what kind of Coke they want, chances are their answer will be "Dr. Pepper." (Sorry, Big Red .) Granted, "Coke" is their word for soda, but it's still pretty telling. UTAH - SPRITE Utah's huge Mormon population can't consume caffeine, so they've gotta drink a lot of Sprite. VERMONT - SWEET WATER Vermont's Sweet Water Bottling Company produces nine all-natural soft drinks in the spirit of the state (namely, Maple Soda). VIRGINIA - CHEERWINE Yeah, I know we already put Cheerwine as North Carolina's favorite soft drink, but it's definitely Virginia's, too.

You'll have to share, North Carolina. WASHINGTON - JONES SODA Jones Soda's famous nationally for making some über-weird soda varieties of dubious repute, but their standard flavors (some of which are still pretty out there, like blue bubble gum) are quite refreshing. WEST VIRGINIA - MOUNTAIN DEW Data doesn't lie -- West Virginians are nuts for Mountain Dew. Even moreso than the rest of America. It's almost to the point of being detrimental. WISCONSIN - SPRECHER ROOT BEER Sprecher is a pretty standard brewery in that it makes beer, but it's a little more well known for its sodas -- particularly its root beer, which has Wisconsinites foaming at the mouth in more ways than one. WYOMING - JACKSON HOLE SODA Advertising itself as "the best dang old-fashioned soda in the whole dang country", Jackson Hole is very much a Wyoming creation. Their Snake River Sarsaparilla is a must while viewing some Grand Tetons. Adam Lapetina is a food/drink staff writer at Thrillist, and loves him some Polar Ginger Ale.

The Top 10 Sodas - TheTopTens® The Top 10 Sodas The Top Ten 1 Coca Cola The best, with just the right amount of kick, beats Pepsi by far. It is delicious, with plenty of flavor and taste. Best soda ever, Dr. Pepper deserves 2nd and Coca Cola deserves 1st, both are good but I would prefer Coca Cola. So Refreshing and Great Taste... Right amount of energy and such things, other than Mountain Dew.. In my opinion it has the best Cola taste! Coke is awesome been drinking it for 49 years V 298 Comments 2 Dr. Pepper Dr. Pepper has it's own style, keeps it different from the colas. Also, Dr. Pepper is the oldest soda, making it the ORIGINAL soda of these brands listed. Amazing flavor, it's the best soda out there. Just the right amount of sweetness and boldness. Dr. Pepper is the best soda on the planet by far! I had my first dr pepper at the age of 4 and loved it. I am now 14 and probably have drank at least once a day. Dr.

Pepper is the only soda kept in the house. I love it. If there is one thing I am obsessed with it is Dr. Pepper. can't stop drinking it - Jonerman V 452 Comments 3 Mountain Dew The first time I ever had soda, I had a choice between Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. I remember thinking, Hmm, Dr. Pepper, sounds like prescribed pepper drink. Yuck Mountain Dew. Sounds refreshing. Best decision I've ever made. - BKAllmighty Mountain Dew is the best drink ever I think if I was stranded on an island and I got to pick three things to take with me then I would pick Mountain Dew, mcdonalds fries, and more Mountain Dew. I think everyone in the world should be able to try it because I know they would all love it. I think Mountain Dew should be the number one choice instead of Dr. Pepper. I don't even like Dr. Pepper I mean I would drink it but it is definitely not my favorite soda. If I had one wish I would wish to own a Mountain Dew world park except I am the only one aloud in after all I am the owner. Mountain Dew is the best. Mountain Dew is amazing.

Beyond its rush of lemon lime flavor that's wickedly twisted to perfection and sends that bolt of freshness and energy screaming through your body... Its perfect for gaming... you can count on it for keeping you alert through the night. I always have my 12 pack ready for those brand new games. Though, your friends may think you're a bit crazy for it, I remember every party I HAD to have Mountain Dew, otherwise it just wasn't the same. Probably not the greatest thing for your teeth... But you know, come on what soda is right? I drink it every single day and it keeps me energized just fine. But god the rush it gives you with that caffine is bar insane, but if you're like me and don't like coffee or energy drinks, the dew is where its at. Coke is overrated in my opinion and Dr Pepper... Its way too fizzy. Something about it is just eh. But this drink is just, its sacred, you don't mess with someone's dew. To all the fans of the best drink out there, cheers! And ... more They have lots of flavours and it's yummy V 262 Comments 4 Pepsi PepsiCo Inc.

is an American multinational food, snack and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York, United States, with interests in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of grain-based snack foods, beverages, and other products. Pepsi is the new United States soda I believe. It has perfect sweetness and flavor you just can't say no to Pepsi. It is clearly the best soda of all time. I truly love it. Not too fizzy and not too flat the perfect blend of Dr. Pepper and Coke. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. Pepsi, one of the most delicious sodas in the history Of US, is number 4. You know Mountain dew and Coke is great and all, but Pepsi is left in FOUR! This has got to change. Pepsi is much more refreshing and crisp than the syrup laden CoaCola 5 Sprite Who doesn't love it? There is nothing not to love about it! I Love Sprite it is the most Flavor but at the same time very liquid. Mmm I can drink it all night.! Who couldn't love the lemony lime taste so refreshing couldn't drink anything else without it being a bit awkward!

I<3 SPRITE I wish the world would see how bad coca cola and Pepsi is. But sprite.. Down to the last sip it's amazing. Most refreshing I have ever drunk. V 135 Comments 6 A & W Root Beer Best root beer by far! 100 times better than mug or barq's, A&W should be higher than both of them I've always loved A&W because of its sweetness. Better than perfect for rootbeer floats and all in all my favorite soda next to dr. Pepper. I think root beer should be first because it's so much better then dr pepper or coca cola I like it but I think mug root bear is better V 99 Comments 7 Fanta Orange This soda should be at least number 6 or something. It just has that right blend of taste quality which makes it fall in that 6th percentile. VOTE THIS SODA IN PEOPLE! Just please! VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! AND MORE VOTE! It's orange man, you love that citrus in your mouth, swishing it around, it's damn the awesomest drink you'll ever drink.

Fantas lush and make a variety of flavours and is the nicest drink to have in the summer It's cold. It's sweet. It's Fanta Orange V 83 Comments 8 7UP Has a different taste than the competitors such as Sprite, Sierra Mist, and Squirt.. It's refreshing and it's my secret to my fruit punch. Others have tried to duplicate by putting in Sprite (not knowing that I only use 7UP) and it just doesn't come out with the same taste. Not to mention it's Caffeine-free, which means if your really thirsty it will quench your thirst, not make you even more thirstier.. That's one of the drawbacks with a lot of the dark colored sodas, they can dehydrate you. Caffeine, is also considered an alkaloid drug.. Which means if you drink 7UP rather than other sodas that do have Caffeine you won't experience "Caffeine Withdrawals" such as headaches, nausea and vomiting! Do your do 7UP your delicious! The taste is perfect when your sweaty. Really refreshing Much more stronger than Sprite! 7UP is a great, refreshing soda, and is not incredibly unhealthy like some others ones I know.

*cough* Coke *cough* It's also amazing if you need to make punch or some type of nice summer drink! I know you'll enjoy it if you just give it a try! V 36 Comments 9 Barq's Root Beer Root Beer is Delicious I think it should be number one. Please vote for Root Beer More People or else you will make me very upset. PLEASE VOTE ROOT BEER PEOPLE! Mountain dew sucks. It's disgusting. I surveyed 30 people for mountain dew or root beer and 29 people voted root beer over mountain dew and the age was different. I did not ask the same person twice and I agree that root beer is better than mountain dew as well so that makes it 30 against 1. this is the best soda it nearly goes with everything (oh wait it does! ) My childhood drink alongside water and sangria soda without alcohol. V 23 Comments 12 A&W Cream Soda Best soda ever in the world I love to just drink and drink all day long laugh out loud my favorite My personal favorite. A&W does it the best! But any cream soda is pretty good. This is so good! I wish I could drink this every day!

It is so amazing and awesome and sweet and everything I just said! Cream Soda and Root beer are best - Fizzycswag 13 Vanilla Coke Can you go wrong with Vanilla Coke? The best type of Coca Cola! Absolutely delicious, just that small twist of vanilla is so refreshing! Vanilla coke is just pure heaven manifested into a soda. Oh, the rejuvenating, carbonated sweetness... - Garythesnail Vanilla coke never disappoints it's the best there is V 16 Comments 15 Mountain Dew Code Red Best by far, I love its sweet but yet almost crispy clean taste you won't find another soda that's better! The cherry flavoring in the mountain dew was very needed. It taste like mountain was kicked in the @$$ by cherries. Best thing the flavor line has ever done, should be in the top 5, at #1. I froze it and shook it up and it was amazing. V 12 Comments 16 Coca Cola Cherry The most genius coke product out there! Overall amazing taste! In my mind, no other soda can compete with the awesomeness that Cherry Coke beholds!

Coca Cola is very good but Coca Cola cherry is far better and taste's great. With the extra cherry and amazing flavor, this soda should be number one. In fact I'm actually drinking Coca Cola cherry now.! Ah, Cherry Coke. The holy nectar of everything fizzy. Just the right amount of cherries. I don't even like regular cola. Add Cherry, you have something awesome. Besides water, there is nothing I'd rather have than an ice-cold Cherry Coke. That stuff is holy. The Second best coke which concedes to Cherry Vanilla Coke V 21 Comments 17 Mountain Dew Baja Blast As I was going through the list agreeing and disagreeing I stumbled upon Baja blast, the rest is history. This is the best soda that ever existed! It's so sad I can only get it at Taco Bell :( It makes regular mountain dew look like a fool. The flavors to too amazing to explain! Amazing drink love it with taco's This is the best drink ever. So refreshing, and unique. Too bad its only at taco bell. - USGC 18 Canada Dry The best Ginger ale I've ever tasted!

One of my favorites to me it is a comfort drink I can just relax when drinking this Ahh, I'm drinking it right now! Good stuff! Perfect balance of ginger and sweetness, nice and crisp too. It's especially good on a nice hot day Why isn't this on the actual list? Best soda. And a lot healthier than the others. V 18 Comments 19 Mr. Pibb Dr. Pepper is great, but Mr. Pibb (note: Pibb Xtra) is just a little greater. The phased out Mr. Pibb was a little weak. I just wish Pibb Xtra was available in cans or bottles around here -- although that could mean a slightly different flavor. PS - Mountain Dew has vegetable oil in it, and you can taste it. Gross! Pibb xtra took over its original formula and its intention was to compete with dr. Pepper. My opinion is it blow it out of the water its like a punch in the face with its spice and it has the carbonation like you get from pepsi that kind of burns your mouth yet its smooth and its addicting. Pibb is the best.

I just wish they made a Pibb zero for those of us who are realizing that some of the diet drinks (aka diet Dr Pepper) are really pretty awesome. I would say Dr Pepper but if you take pepper and pibb to a blindfold test, like my family did last thanksgiving with 23 family members participating everyone having two 8 ounce cups of the spicy cherry soda and then breaking them down into 3 categories to be judged in. One was the carbonation, the other a mouth swishing and spit, then last but least being actually drinking. So out of 23 people Mr Pibb won by a landslide in all 3 catorgies all together 4 out of the 23 selected Dr Pepper. It was so one sided that family members wanted to try it again on Christmas Eve being they said the Dr Pepper wasent at the right temperature, so once again 23 judges but this time Mr Pibb took another one sided win with only in there backing Dr Pepper. Final verdict was that Mr Pibb had more of a spicy cherry bite and a much more carbonated soda like a soda should be, and Dr Pepper had a much weaker flavor as well as the fact of it seeming very flat.

So my choice and the choice of my family is Mr Pibb ... more - Screw32 V 23 Comments 20 Sierra Mist It is epic there is nothing not to like about it. Simply stated it tastes like heaven. It is my favorite soda. Its flipping ridiculous how good this soda is. I love it I can't even stop drinking it. The crispness is second to none. A freezing cold sierra mist is one of my dimple pleasures. In my opinion, sierra mist just is more tasty and sweet than it's competitors, sprite and 7UP. Best soda in my opinion. The flavor is phenomenal. Top 10 Soft Drinks Top 10 Soft Drinks What are the top selling soft drinks in the USA? The latest beverage market stats are out — and there are some interesting highlights. The epic battle between Coke and Pepsi continues, but so far Coke still has the top spot. Both Coke and Pepsi fans are a loyal bunch so it will be hard to sway either of them to the other side. Update: We originally published this list back in 2007. It’s been updated to the latest statistics each year since. What about the top selling energy drinks? They’re listed here .

Top 10 Soft Drinks Diet Dr. Pepper (Dr. Pepper/Snapple) Caffeine-Free Diet Coke (coca-cola) Diet Dr. Pepper (Dr. Pepper/Snapple) Fanta (coca-cola) Top Ten Soda Brands Changes? Pepsi regained the #2 spot in 2014 after losing that spot in 2008. The list has been pretty static from since 2011. The only change was Fanta moving to spot 9 and Diet Dr. Pepper falling to 10 in 2012 and falling out of the top 10 for 2013. Coke Zero was expected to break into the top 10 in 2012, but finally broke the top 10 in 2013. For the first time in history a diet soda has achieved the number 2 spot and in 2013 diet sodas occupy 4 positions. Diet sodas are becoming more popular, which shows a trend in people becoming more aware of too much sugar in the diet. Both Coca-cola and Pepsi lost market share.

Coca-cola can blame it on the CEO – after all they only paid him $32 million dollars for his year’s work. This downward trend has continued. Soft drinks are down 3% in 2013³ , which is the worst year yet. Soft drinks still hold the majority market share – 51% (down 0.6% from previous year).(07) Energy Drinks had a massive 49% growth – but total market share is just 0.8% (which makes you wonder about all the over-enthusiastic media reporting).

When I started on Red Bull in 7th grade, my first one was a kick in the pants. Today, I was sitting in class less than an hour after breakfast and my eyelids were falling. So now I am drinking a bottle of Morning Spark and brewing a pot of Meth Coffee… both products that I was introduced to right here on EnergyFiend. garrett Take a break. Seriously.

It’s worth it to let your system clear out a bit every now and then. I usually go for a month or two and then take a week (or as long as I can, really) off. Your kidneys will thank you. videoCWK Since we’re on the topic of our morning caffeine routines, here’s mine! OK so, I get up and I’ve got so little awakeness that I sometimes have to lean on the wall to keep from falling over. In the bathroom I often take a caffeine pill, usually 200mg. At the table, I usually drink a cup of tea and a Hype, which helps a lot. Then while on the bus or while waiting for the bus I like to pop a few caffeine mints. I also like to bring something to drink at lunch. A bottle of Bawls seems best, since you get a pretty good amount for a school lunch and the caffeine content is pretty good. Wesley Doughman First Upper 10 was a lot better than 7UP. Second Diet Rite was the first Diet to contain Splenda. Third Diet Rite is Pure Zero.

Fourth Nehi Peach, Orange, Strawberry, Grape, is a lot better than Big Peach, Sunkist Orange, and Welch’s Grape. Fifth Royal Crown Cola had a drink called Dr. Nehi, that was just as good as Dr. Pepper, but when Dr.Pepper/7UP (Cadbury Schweppes) purchased RC and Nehi, Cadbury quickly done away with Dr. Nehi, and now Upper 10 is nowhere around. Sixth, RC should be included in surveys regarding Colas. Sarah What are your sources for this information? is it legitimate? or just personal opinion? … I need to see cited information please. but seriously we need to see some proven statistics with like a link to the site or something so that these stats are actual and not made up. jake i think the diet ones shouldn’t becounted because it is the same thing just without sugar i think you should have put cherry coke couse that is beautiful and solo.

Mountain Dew K what is wrong with you ppls #1 of all time is TAB cola William How do you know the COE of Coca Cola made $32 million last year? kevin Best Soda Flavors - Top Ten List - TheTopTens® Best Soda Flavors The Top Ten 1 Dr. Pepper Dr. Pepper is the best soda ever!

I can't live without my Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper is good for your soul and you can't deny the fact the Dr. Pepper is way better then all the other sodas on this list? Dr. Pepper forever! Almost everything is wrong with this comment, that's not even a fact. I like Dr. Pepper and all, but none of this is true - noo7na7 I have to say, Dr. Pepper is the best. Yes, coke and pepsi are good and all, but when you can choose between them, Dr. Pepper is definitely the king of all sodas. Dr Pepper gives you that refreshing feeling and tingly feeling at the same time. Dr Pepper is awesome because it tastes good and it is awesome because it is great quality soda and it is the most popular soda in my family so it is always being bought by me and my family Oh my god I cannot describe this flavor anymore than ambrosial - Sarcasisim V 40 Comments 3 Mountain Dew It should come as no surprise that Mountain Dew is voted so far the 2nd best flavor of soda, for it is so unique in its rich, savory taste that no other soda comes close.

Dr Pepper is coarse in comparison, and leaves your throat with an obnoxious itch. Mountain Dew runs down smoothly, and with a delicate fizzy finish that leaves you yearning for another swig. Dr Pepper is such a strong drink that it leaves little room for a fruity punctuation. Mountain Dew's award winning taste is so easily augmented by different fruit juice blends that it easily has the greatest assortment of flavors of any soda there is. I am proud to say that I do the dew, and you should too! Mountain dew is a great drink for everyone! It's good for the soul man! It is great because it is very refreshing and has many flavours my favourite being voltage and the diet is not bad either one of the only diet pops I can drink and enjoy and they made most of the flavours available where I live in canada now Mtn dew is just so great it should be first because it has the flavor of the gods if you have not tried mtn dew your living so weird ass life V 52 Comments 4 Root Beer Root beer is my BFFL! When I go out to eat me and ALL my friends get root beer. The one's who can't drink soda always sneak a taste of ours!

We turn our nose up at everything else when root beer is in the picture. Only the weirdos don't like root beer! AWESOMENESS. Root beer is so good and all of my friends love it. The taste is just so much better than all of the rest. Root beer is amazing, everybody should love it! Root Beer is AWESOME, its BEAST! It is way better than all the other sodas above it. You definitely should put ROOT BEER as Number 1 and one alone. Me and my friends no matter what always pick Root Beer there is NO CONTEST between Root Beer and Dr. Pepper Root Beer kicks Dr. Peppers Butt. It beats dr. Pepper to a pulp, no wait correction, not a pulp it beats dr. Pepper to disinagration. Who ever made this list must have an IQ Level Less than NEGATIVE-1000(A thousand times less than ZERO) to put DR. Pepper as number 1 and ROOT BEER as number 4. ROOT BEER RULLE'SS. Dr. Pepper drools Root beer is better because of its taste and it had just the right mix.

It is better for u because of the no caffeine V 41 Comments 5 Cream Soda It is better than root beer because it has more flavor to it and it taster a lot better than most soda tastes it also helps when you feel sick or have a tummy ache I think it tastes good because of those reasons my family drinks it and it makes a good vanilla float CreeamSoda. That delicious, clear caramel and vanilla taste is undoubtedly the best thing provided to the human race. It is in my opinion that the person who has kindly created this soda should be held in the same regard as men like George Washington, Ryan Gosling, or Ricky Bobby. It is very creamy and has a smooth tingly finish I get this where ever I go. It has a sweet awesome taste that is very good for the soul and mind. I drink it when ever I can and where ever I go. Orange cream soda and you have to drink it every time you get the chance its that good V 19 Comments 6 Sprite Me my bro and I know a lot of people that if you hold out a can of cold sprite we just grab it Mountain doo tastes horrific compared to this heaven on earth. Dr. Pepper? Forget it!

Give me the best soda! Sprite is amazing. Only soda I would drink. Coke, Pepsi, and all those other dark sodas just end up making my teeth look yellowish. Not sprite though. Sprite should be number 1 V 23 Comments 7 Pepsi PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational food, snack and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York, United States, with interests in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of grain-based snack foods, beverages, and other products. Pepsi is the best bye far.. Awesome taste.. Pepsi is the nectar of the Gods, you'll have your friends saying "ahh". Pepsi is the most delicious soda, it goes so good with pizza. I have to drink three cans of Pepsi when I have pizza, it is amazing. AMAZING Why is pepsi number 7 what it should be 1 or 2 8 Orange Soda Orange soda makes me travel to a land of oranges! I LOVE how my tongue tingles when I look at it and I just want more! Obviously orange soda is the best soda in the world so I don't know why I didn't see it at the very top of this list.

I love orange soda so much that right now I'm sitting on the couch with a bottle of it right next to me! Oh Orange Soda -- it's the most wonderful thing I can think of! Who doesn't love a sweet glass of orange soda -- combined with cream soda, its unstoppable! I love every single drop of it! This soda is yummy too, but not quite as good as Dr. Pepper. 9 Grape Soda Tastes like grapes, I like grapes, so you know, why not? My Best friend and I are addicted to this! I once drank 12 cans in like 2 or 3 hours! It's delicious, it's fizzy, and it's purple. What's not to like? WAY better than that Orange crap! - Curtis_Huber V 2 Comments 10 Pink Lemonade It's a classic! Its very sweet and refreshing and healthier than carbonated drinks! Everyone lives pink lemonade! So why don't you try it? Pink lemonade is my favorite flavor. Did you know they make very good ice pops I love pink lemonade and all, but this should be removed. Pink lemonade is not a soda! Pink lemonade is NOT a soda.

It's just lemonade that looks less like pee. 14 Ginger Ale I love the fizz, it's so eye watering Mmm Canada Dry. Although I'm an American, I do appreciate this fine creation our neighboring country has offered us! V 1 Comment 15 Mr. Pibb This soda is undoubtedly the greatest ever made. It describes itself as "Spicy Cherry Soda" which I do very well believe, in fact I believe that it does have a sort of reminiscent flavor of Maraschino Cherry juice, yet of course with much more fizz, and a much more distinct flavor. The only problem with Pibb is that it is under appreciated, as well as under marketed, as I'm sure most will have noticed considering that I have yet to see a single Pibb commercial. Yes! I fell in love with this soda when I was five years old at my dad's hockey match, I went and got it from a vending machine and I couldn't get over how spectacular it was, and today I still can't get over what a remarkable soda that it is. Easily the best soda ever made, I drink a 2 liter a day, everyday. Fountain Pibb is the best!

V 1 Comment 17 Orange Fanta How can you not love something this good I mean it's like I just entered heaven if I could I would drink this my whole entire life I don't care if I become obese I will always love this drink I mean when I go out to eat I will always get this drink unless it's not there I would get mtn dew Mmm. Orange Fanta! Walking into a Nathan's, ordering an Orange Fanta, and sipping the whole cup. The best soda ever. 18 Mountain Dew Baja Blast Best ever only available at taco bell where I live though My favorite! Made better due to the challenge of getting it. Much better than everything else here 19 Lucozade V 2 Comments 20 Dad's Root Beer This is soda flavors, not a specific brand of a flavor ding dong. Root Beer is already listed above!
