Usually, my pop will go flat in about a half hour in a plastic cup, whereas it's stayed fizzy for upwards of 2 hours in a glass. It takes you two hours to drink a glass of soda? Wow. My soda doesn't even get a chance to prove its freshness potential for that long. But I do always prefer it in a glass as well, if not for freshness, because it stays cold for a longer time in a glass. Anyway, this thread is cracking me up... all this serious discussion on soda. Everyone's got their own name for it, their own philosophies regarding it, etc. Such a diverse subculture of the bubbly. :p

A Green River in the bottle...another suppressed memory the BB has recovered...you couldn't beat it.
Now it's all two-liter plastic and I believe the plastic along with the bad habit of not replacing the cap tightly that has led to soda pop that doesn't keep or age nearly as well as bottled soda with a crown cap. In fact, I still buy I.B.C. Root Beer in their six-pack of bottles just because I believe it tastes better than anything in plastic or cans.
Better yet, install a fountain and get pre-mix from your local soft drink distributor.

Try Boylan's if you can find it, storing it in glass bottles makes the world of difference (i only buy coke in glass bottles, expensive, but you can taste the difference) also, Boylans uses more natural ingredients like cane sugar, not high fructrose corn syrup, again, it matters... boylans is a great for those of us who grew up with Brookdale soda which was delievered to the house daily just like milk (now i am showing my age, this was the 70s)

I don't know if it was Brookdale or not... there was a soda in the mid-80's that I ONLY ever saw at work, and it was great! Brookdale, not sure... it began with a B, tho. lol Coke sucks, I don't care how they deliver it! I'm a Pepsi man... and I actually prefer RC (and that B-cola) over Coke. At least the drinkable Coke.... lol
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

RC > Pepsi > Generic store-brands > Coke

Coke is the original, and, the most widely recognized logo in the world... even in some of the most remote parts of the world... but I guess that is an argument that will go on forever... I can tell you I am fond of coke for many reasons, most of which, when I got to a small remote village in sicily where my mother was from, i went to the corner bar (the only one in the region) and they served me coke in a glass... somehow, something you have been drinking all your life suddenly takes on different meaning... all depends on your surroundings... As for the seltzer bottles, we had some old antique ones, but by the 70s they started using C02 cartridges, and the soda man and milk man were in Bloomfield, NJ, we didnt have that further up in the suburbs of Caldwell... there was a vegetable guy too that came by everyday... ah the good old days!

I don't see 7Up too much anymore, that used to be great.. i guess sprite just muscled it off the shelves... as for cherry coke, for me, that is basically Dr. Pepper, which i LOVE with rum!
