The one good change during Richard Anderson era.

Coke now, after having been Pepsi for years and years. It would have been a welcome change if I still drank sodas. I used to bring along some Cokes since I don't care for Pepsi.

I prefer Pepsi. That's why I hold an equity position in Pepsico.

I like Coke. I only drink diet pop now, and diet Coke to me is much more preferable than diet Pepsi. Oddly, when I drank regular pop, I much preferred Pepsi over Coke. Regular Coke, to me, tastes like varnish. (And, yes, as a result of childhood curiosity gone too far, I know what varnish tastes like.)

Coke. No Pepsi. No like? You go now.

A glass of a quality New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is better than Coke, Pepsi, whatever soda.

H2O for me….

Especially if you drop the blanc.

Is Coke Zero sold by any chance?

 

[zephyr17]

Nope. Coke and Diet Coke.

Coke (which is what I prefer). Pepsi tastes too sugary to me.

Mexican Coke in a glass bottle! The only way to drink it. No aluminum cans, plastic bottles, added chemicals, other additives, or subtractitives. It's the real thing!

Back in the Pepsi days on Amtrak.....if you were on the Maple Leaf to Toronto all you had to do was wait until the Border at Niagara Falls ON. Amktak's food items came off the Cafe Car and VIA's went on including Coke!

(Now let's just get the Maple Leaf back! Hopefully later this summer.

I wish they'd go RC. Sadly, Diet RC (with the caffeine, not Diet Rite) is only available in the south.

Or maybe they could go with National Beverage (Shasta west of the rockies, Faygo to the east).

 

[TinCan782]

Unsweetened iced tea for me, please.
(which they have)

 

[me_little_me]

Diet Cheerwine followed by flavored sparkling water is my favorite. Next is Sam's Club caffeine-free diet soda followed by Diet Coke (caffeine-free preferred). Pepsi is after sewer water.

But none of them are good for you as they are mostly water and water supports germs. Alcohol kills germs and tastes better than bleach as a Covid protectorant.

Oh yes. RC and a Moonpie.

A Southern tradition!!

As I child, the first and only soda that my brother and I were permitted to drink--and only at my Grandfather's house--was Royal Crown Cola. My Grandfather loved the stuff. I do recall that it was good. I haven't seen this in stores where I live for a long time.

Back when my wife was a little child her father (my FIL) used to deliver RC Cola. That was back when they used glass bottles and they were in wooden cases on the truck. He used to move two of those cases in each hand as he unloaded them from the truck.




But, I digress ... these are not used on Amtrak. So, I will either bring my own beverage or drink the

They really should be serving Dr. Brown's cream soda, black cherry soda and Cel-Ray Tonic.

I was scrolling down through these post and thinking nobody could possibly mention cream soda, or black cherry soda. And lo and behold, A couple of choices from back in the day, that always sounded good. But I Never got any satisfaction from.

Diet Black Cheery cola my wife's favorite. I blame Pepsi and southern sweet tea in my youth for my diabetes problem now. Was able to postpone problems going to coke and unsweetened tea . New coke ugh way too sweet.
