Honestly never heard of most of these and from this list (not including the last option) only 2 of these are available off the shelf here in Australia.
Dr Pepper used to be sold here, which sucks because I love that stuff but I haven't had it for years now.
Jolt used to be sold here from what I've been told, but I've never seen it in real life, hasn't been sold here for years.
Coke and Pepsi are the only 2 off the list I've had in recent times and can get readily.
Like with what Dean said, it also applies to here in Australia that some supermarkets have their own brand of Cola too, and it's always really cheap compared to Coke or Pepsi. I prefer most supermarket brand cola to Coke, but out of all of them Pepsi is always the best tasting to me.

If I'm stuck with a brown pop, I'll go with Coke.

Except Coke, Pepsi and RC Cola (which I believe doesn't exist here anymore), none of the mentioned is sold in Peru, so i have to go with Pepsi when I'm not on diet.

Sprecher...a little microbrewery in Milwaukee, WI. Best root beer and cream soda that I've ever had.

Make damn good beers, too.

I remember the NewCoke debacle when they realized no one wanted Coke to taste like Pepsi, so they did ClassicCoke for a few years, now it's back to just Coke





Americans taste awful. Why would Coca Cola want to reproduce that?
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

^I understand, the same is true in cities like New Orleans in the United states. However, my experience in foreign countries include having drink choices be either Coke, Fanta or Water, when here in the US there's quite a selection in case you didn't know. And foreigners specifically order coke.
 
Coke is an international word for happiness in liquid form, as far as I know.

In the UK "Coke" is the generic name for all Cola, even Pepsi - same as Hoover is the generic name for a vacuum cleaners, even if it's a Dyson or Electrolux. The Coke-Cola corp. fought against this generalisation of their trade mark and won the legal battle, but didn't convince any of the British buying public, who still call all colas - coke.
 
this is a famous British coke cola:

yep, there are some delicious microbrews in the northwest

the Dr. is winning?  I'm surprised though I'm a long time fan.  I remember a delicious brand of gingerale called Vernors which I'd mix with cream, great combination

By the way, it is definetely soda, not pop. You mid-westerners you....
 
I'm going to search and see if there's a poll on that. If not, expect one in the resuming minutes.


it is soda, though in the East a soda technically involves ice cream

Pepsi Max............ ( Gut Burner). I know, not good but normal soft drink I never drink its just too much sugar and Pepsi Max is better than Diet coke which tastes like it was made at Union Carbide. Pepsi Max though I can only take so many before the chemicals start burning my guts.
 
I will add down here in summer you can wind up drinking the stuff all day which is not advisale as for the reason I gave above.
 
We do not have a lot of the soft drinks listed above but I do like Ginger Beer  (Oz Brand)which I buy occasionally and to be honest if I am really thirsty I stick with water or soda water. I am really over drinking coca-cola and Pepsi  seems to be on the wain as well for me.

Yeah, Ginger Beer only gets dark when you add some dark rum to it. LOL
So considering your criteria, I'm going to have to go with SpriteTongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'm going to attribute the lack of votes for Jones Soda to ignorance, in which case I excuse you all.
