I can't do it by your list. For the last 15-20 years, I drink about 6-8 sodas a year. Almost all of them have been either a Pepsi or Squirt. On the rare occasion I have one, I'll take a Mr. Pibb over Dr Pepper. I used to like A&W root beer on tap in the frosty mug served by a car hop in the 60s-early 70s. I never touch anything else on your list.

Coke Zero and Almdudler Zuckerfrei are my two favorites. I SodaStream at home so I use their syrups.

The only one I really drink is Diet Coke, occasionally. Although I'd be fine with Diet Pepsi too.
When I was a kid, I preferred Pepsi, RC, Coke in that order, Mountain Dew, and A&W Root Beer.

1) Coke - but only if made with real sugar, otherwise it's Coke Zero
2) Sparkling water with a twist. Lemon lime sodas aren't worth the calories
3) Anything local and craft
4) Squirt, alongside a shot of tequila
5) Substitute a local craft-made root beer
6) Vernors (traditional midwest medicine consumed after vomiting)

1) Real Coke, limited to one only on westbound TATL flights, for nostalgia's sake.
2) Pretty well any of the San Pellegrino range, but particularly partial to lemon or grapefruit. Izzy are ok, if a little sweet.
3) Disgusting stuff
4) Don't know what the difference between Lemon-Lime and Citrus is.
5) Never had it and it looks and smells disgusting
6) Haven't had Ginger Ale for years but Canada Dry was always the best.
7) Strange that this thread doesn't include Ginger Beer which has all sorts of amazing options.

Yesterday I bought a bottle of the brand new raspberry Coke. I tastes ok, not a favorite though. Coke is advertising it as an New Zealand invention and Finland is the test market in Europe for this new flavour.

Coca-Cola, Fountain is my favorite (but NOT that nasty Freestyle all in one kind, those are nasty).
