Default Fizzy Drinks ?

Dont really buy them very often but got a can of Tizer from the chippy out of Nostalgia and it was fantastic, still cant decide what its meant to taste of but it did take me back, very rarely see it.

Which ones do you like, I usually get Diet Coke, quite like full fat Cherry Coke occasionally, like Ginger Ale/Beer as well.

Never understood the Scottish fascination with Irn Bru, have also notice Asian people seem to go mad for it as well though, got a couple of Asian mates and they get it quite a lot and say its quite big in Asian tastes, possibly as they dont drink alcohol I suppose.

Dandelion and Burdock, what the f*ck is that, foul.

Root Beer, hmm, kind of like despite tasting of medicine (Fizzy Benylyn as Steve Coogan Described it)

I'll drink pretty much anything. Celery soda is probably the weirdest so far. And Pepsi over Coke ANY day of the week, not even a fair contest in my opinion.

That's funny. I normally say that Root beer tastes like Ralgex smells.

For me it is Pepsi Max. I am sadly addicted. I like the fizz sound of opening the bottle and then the smell. As I said, properly addicted.

I tried a tin of root beer out in Singapore last year, jesus it nearly numbed my head. It is such a horrible taste, I cant believe people drink it. Now ginger beer, that is something entirely different!

Best fizzy drink to wash down a chippy, and nostalgic, a wee can of vimto, as a boy parents used to take me to visit grandparents in Paisley we would
have a fish tea washed down with vimto. Memorys still flood back every time I have a can.

Old Jamaican Ginger beer - Any other ginger beer is like dishwater in comparison.

Other than that, full fat coke. None of the aspartame laden rubbish.

Not really a big fan of fizzy drinks, although Vimto sometimes quenches the thirst well. If me and the Mrs have a takeaway, a can of Coke goes well with a greasy pizza/kebab

Mainly into apple & blackcurrant cordial here or milk. Love milk... mama!

Pepsi Max is just re-labled Diet Pepsi, for blokes who don't want to look gay.
