Pretty much every signature soda drink. Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew... none of the knock-offs taste right and some are just nasty. Oddly, root beer seems to be the one flavor everyone can do well, maybe because it's a more common flavor with no patents on the general idea? I dunno but I don't think I've ever had a 'bad' root beer.
Verners ginger ale puts the rest to shame
Completely agree, but I wouldn’t call Vernors a generic. It’s a competing brand.
Canada dry, I will fist fight you over this.
I actually prefer Royal Crown over Coke and Pepsi. It's not a generic, but it's not top-shelf either. It works out well with the sales at the Supermarket, too. Often they'll do a 12-pack mix-and-match with RC, Canada Dry, Squirt, etc. all very tasty sodas.
I buy Royal Crown and mix it with Crown Royal.
The perfect marraige of the king of middle shelf soda and the queen of middle shelf whisky.
Man, RC Cola is a Southern delicacy! Pair it with a Moon Pie, and you've got the breakfast of champions!
Yeah but with kroger generic I can get pineapple soda.
Germany has some great tasting cola brands that are nothing like Pepsi or Coke (and aren't trying to be either).
While I agree with this, the one except I've found is Sprite. Different genetics have different tastes but I've found I like my Kroger generic Sprite more than the name brand.
I actually prefer generics. But because I'm a fat ass, I haven't been keeping soda at the house.
