Never knew that. Did synthesize wintergreen in orgo lab, though (along with making aspirin and distilling whiskey). It's amazing how smooth A&W is, though; it tastes awesome even when it's flat...

I tried peanuts in a Pepsi because I saw it on a southern cooking show.  It was kinda weird but I think I'd try it again. The salt and sweet thing reminds me of my sister dipping french fries in her Wendys Smoothie.

There was this time I was driving on the highway in the middle of nowhere on the way to a meeting and I had aparently eaten something very unsettling.  Thankfully, there was a rest area up ahead and the bathrooms were open.  Ohhh, I read the question wrong?

I don't know that I've ever enjoyed a soda more than I enjoyed Live Wire in the summer of 2003. 

I also used to chug Diet Pepsi Max when it was still out. Something about the mix of no sugar and high caffiene made it the perfect all-nighter fuel when I was an undergrad.

My all time favorite, though, has to be the Black Cherry Fresca. I can drink a 12-pack in a day, easy, without even thinking.

My favorite "pop" is the original formula Dr Pepper. It was bottled in Dublin, TX and called Dublin Dr Pepper. It was made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Dr Pepper eventually sued the independent bottler and I believe ceased production. They offer a Heritage Dr Pepper now but I don't think it tastes as good as the old Dublin Dr Pepper.

Vernors for sure.  Actually, I like in Mexico and when my parents came down to visit a couple of weeks ago I made them bring a couple of twelve packs.  You can't get that stuff down here and I crave it like crazy.  Also crave a decent pizza because the pizza where I live in Mexico sucks.

Dr Pepper all damn day every day.  Or I would if that wouldn't make me disgustingly fat.

Vernors makes all other ginger ale taste like a watery mess.  Root beer is great, A&W being the best.  Faygo Red Pop and Rock'n'Rye are amazeballs.  Cherry Pepsi is delicious too.

But Dr Pepper is the king of kings.

That the word "soda" is an adjective, however it is not. According to Websters the word "soda" is a noun. Therefore you are saying that the word "soda" is a descriptor for the word "pop" which it is not due to the fact that you cannot use a noun to describe another noun. You would not say "meat dog," it's implied. Much like soda.

Of course you can use a noun to describe another noun.  SInce when is that a rule?   You never said anything like "car door?"  "Bedroom window"?  "Your phone"?  "Cat hair"?  And wouldn't you sound silly saying things like "open the bedroom" or "vacuum the cat" when you really mean the window or the hair?

Ting which is from Jamaica.  If you like squirt, you would love Ting.   My other favorite was Josta by Pepsi.  I used to love that stuff in the late 90's.  Otherwise, a good root beer from a brewery, Goose Island, or Sprecher!  Also, Polar Orange Dry from the East Coast.

That tasted wonderful on a hot summer day.  Like a grape popsicle.  Everyone in the family was addicted to it and then it was gone.  To never be seen again!
