Coca Cola, Pepsi, 7UP, Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Cream Soda, Orange Crush and other tasty beverages. What's unique?

I love this in the summer, ice cold.

Have never encountered a number of items mentioned here.

Ting grapefruit soda: pretty good, haven't seen it recently.
Sanpellegrino chinotto and Sanbitter: I do seem to like some bitterness, and the portion size suits me.
Bundaberg ginger beer: Good, but wish they stuck with the smaller bottles.
Vernors, Canada Dry: IMO, mostly tastes like sugar water.
Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray: One of those things which sounds awful but actually works.
Red Bull, Monster et al: I gotta really be dragging to want one, and even then, I'd want the original small can size. Not surprised Red Bull originates from steamy hot Thailand.
Zevia: It's okay but not something I actively seek out.
Coke Y3000: I kind of liked in the 6 oz mini-cans, served ice-cold.
Starry: As a replacement for Slice, a step in the right direction, but still too syrupy-sweet.
Virgil's Root Beer: Pretty solid.
Suntory CC Lemon: Lightly carbonated, nice balance of mild tart and sweet, IMO.

Have tended not to care much for "cream" type soda, nor kombucha-based drinks, but the latter are mostly inoffensive, 'cept for the price ($5/can?).

So Yoohoo actually exists! I always thought it was a made-up name, in the Milton Bolitar book series by Harlan Coben… :D

Well of course it is real. I don't know how long, but it has been around since I was growing up in the 1960s.
 
'full fat' Coca Cola for me. I can't touch any of the diet drinks, as anything with artifical sweeteners triggers my tinnitus and also gives me headaches (often migraine).

Aspartame is particularly bad for this. I also don't like the taste of anything with artificial sweeteners (I don't like the smell either).
 
Reed's ginger beer in bottles. The canned version is not nearly as good. Try it with fresh squeezed blood orange juice. Because of my Jewish upbringing I also like plain carbonated water. Seltzer is great.
 
I don't drink many soda drinks. RC Cola, if I have to drink cola:

I don't even know where to get RC anymore.o_O

I occasionally drink grapefruit soda, like Squirt:

Or even better, a nice Italian grapefruit soda:

My favourite was The Pop Shoppe, Black Cherry.

Now I use a Sodastream, just plain old carbonated water, no flavour...

If anyone is a soda pop fan it's me. RC Cola, Ginger Ale, Root Beer, all have been faves. We now have a SodaStream as well and I've discovered a mix of soda water, real maple syrup and a splash of lemon juice. But the other and more common thirst quencher for me is soda water with a bitters floater:

The Bitter Housewife folks have a nice selection.
 
I prefer Pepsi stuff over Coca Cola.

My favorite is „schwip schwap „

I generally don't buy bottled water unless I'm in a region where it's the norm. But I couldn't resist this 2021 special edition:

Do you have a PoP dispenser in your home or carbonated water?

We have a soda siphon, you know the kind as used in Three Stooges-style comedy. Used with wine and to cut juice in the warm weather. Cans of fuzzy water are better carbonated but I like how water from Quabbin just flows out of the kitchen tap.

Don't care for most soda pop. Too sweet. Some tonic water for gin in the summer. I also cut that with fuzzy water.
 
As a diabetic this is a really bad thread, any sugar free suggestions?
