  5. Choose a cola additive!
  6. How do you prefer to drink your soda?
  7. What's your ice preference?
  8. Cubes, or...?
  9. Do you miss sitting down at a counter and being served by a soda-jerker?
  10. Would you ever put a soda machine in your house (price notwithstanding)?
  11. When you serve yourself at a soda machine, do you mix drinks?

It's Coke # 1 Soda #2 . In my neck of the woods there's no need for a vending machine the 3 major supermarkets always have " soda " buy 2 get 2 ( 12 packs ) and on holidays it's buy 2 get 3 .
Coke or Pepsi ? Both . . . Pepsi tastes sweeter but the Coke stays bubbly ( carbonated ) Longer ☺️

I think Pepsi has more Coke syrup in it. People who prefer Pepsi like buying a large bottle to allow the carbonation to drift away, because then they taste the cola flavor more.

To pick a cola...It's "me and my R.C....no Coke or Pepsi in my pad. If you're from the East, it's "soda". My actual soda is generally ginger ale, with a foray into a bottle of R.C. at times. If you don't know "birch beer", it's your loss. You can find it at places with specialty drinks. It actually comes from birch trees. It's somewhat like "sarsaparilla". Again, you're missing a great taste.
"Taste" is an individual thing. Your taste is less usual. You seem to have what I call "Dr. Pepper taste buds". So I'm surprised that you didn't mention that. My guess is you prefer ginger ale because you like mixing it with something else.

For number 1, I had to put "soda," but I use any of those terms when I'm talking about a generic soft drink. I call it a "soft drink." If it's Coke, I'll call it Coke. Sometimes I'll say Coke when I'm generically talking about cola, but because I buy Sam's Cola to drink at home and not Coke, I'm in the habit of calling it cola when it's a cola-flavored drink. But ginger ale, for example, is not "cola" or "Coke." It's "ginger ale." The bottles of cola and ginger ale I have in my refrigerator are "soft drinks." I've never called it "soda" or "pop."

64% similar.

Yes, I'd like a soda machine. It would compliment my 1976 Seeburg jukebox very well (and then I would have to save up some quarters to get the pop from the machine, but that would be a great deterrent to making it a habit to drink soda all the time).

I used to drink a lot of soda. When I stopped back in 2009 I lost so much weight. My big craving was Cocoa cola.
MarioNYC DaisyDuke67 14 days ago
I never heard of Cocoa cola. But it sounds like a good idea to mix some chocolate or coffee flavor with cola.

I don't really drink soda anymore. But as far as the root beer goes..... UGH!!
JeanInTN Katzi 17 days ago
Yes! I don't even know what "Birch beer" is, but I chose that answer because I don't like root bear.

Some questions my answer would be "depends". Like how I prefer to drink and mixing drinks. The last one I did as a kid but not as an adult.

Not a fair quiz. I call all of them “soft drinks” as a group. I prefer ginger ale - but I mostly drink water. I had to just go with the least objectionable response on several questions!
JeanInTN Mcharney0 17 days ago
Me, too. They are "soft drinks." I'll drink cola occasionally (and I call it "cola" because for home I buy Sam's Cola because I think it tastes like Coke but it's a lot cheaper) and sometimes ginger ale. I don't care whether the ice is crushed or cubed, just so it doesn't melt and dilute my drink. At home my drinks are already cold in the refrigerator so I don't bother with ice. I hate root beer and have no idea what "Birch beer" is, but I chose that answer because I know I don't like root beer. LOL

73%. Wouldn't drink cherry or vanilla.

Have you ever had a chocolate coke?
clovergirl 17 days ago
Didn't answer #4, because I can't stand either one.

Actually, I call it Soda Pop. I don't like Coke or Pepsi. Do love Dr Pepper and RC is okay.

I did quit drinking any and all of them when they quit using cane sugar and use HFCS. That is what addicts people and makes them fatter, besides wrecking the flavor.

It would be nice if Coca-cola would bring back the Lime coke zero. I really liked the drink. I was always a bigger Coke Zero fan but lately I have gotten to where I think Pepsi Zero tastes better.
Earlbob1117 Jimjr5560 17 days ago
I like Cherry Coke Zero over Cherry Diet Coke. I tried Cherry Pepsi Zero, but there's an additive in the drink that doesn't agree with me.

Is Like Coke Zero an option in those Freestyle Coke machines?
STTOS 17 days ago
77% similar - 77% similar to the most popular responses. Very strange survey. Another example where they need an answer of "neither" such as on #4 and #5. I have no interest in either cherry or vanilla flavoring in my soda. And why no mention of diet sodas (specifically Diet Coke or even Diet Dr. Pepper) which is what I prefer?!?!
CarolKelley STTOS 17 days ago
Absolutely, they should have either as a choice! Sometimes. I mix Coke and Sprite together or put a slice of lemon or lime in my coke. I love those Coke Freestyle machines where you get lots of choices.
