I'm fond enough of mountain dew. It's smoother than stuff like coke or pepsi, though as with all of the things the taste leaves a bit to be desired.
That said, mountain dew makes a bloody
excellent base for green tea if you've got a sweet tooth. Turns out like a cross between molten grapes and molten sugar. It's a bit of a big if, though, because the stuff is seriously, seriously sweet.
As for favorites... root beer of some sort. Generally Barqs (Killer when used as a base for gojiberry tea), but the whole host of the rest of them tend to be excellent as well. I'll drink a bit of coke-cola when I've got a sore throat, because for some ungodly reason it sooths them for me.
The worst I've had's all been off brand stuff. Some are pretty decent, a lot are g'damn nasty.
The one I miss the most... blueberry minute maid. Not for the drink it self. No. Because if you mix a half glass of blueberry minute maid with a quarter glass of pepsi and a quarter glass of dr. pepper, it turns
swamp-water green and tastes absolutely
delicious. They haven't sold blueberry minute maid where I'm at for years, and knockoff brand blueberry stuff generally tastes pretty bad.
My general advice! MIX AND MIX SOME MORE! Apple juice goes pretty well (in a relative sense, in that it's drinkable at all) with coke and mountain dew and pepsi. Most sodas when mixed end up tasting like children's chewable aspirin for some ungodly reason, especially if orange soda of some sort is involved.
S'all I got at the mo'. Except that I will never drink diet soda. The stuff in soda that kills you isn't what that stuff takes out
That and most artificial sweeteners taste absolutely foul to me
