Soda flavors... Not the original.

Croconaw's Creature:
The original sodas always have flavors, and some are better than the original. Some are even exclusive to certain parts of the world, so it would be cool to see flavors that we might not otherwise know about. I just recently discovered that Mountain Dew Livewire is exclusive to the United States. In my opinion, it's not very good (and I'm saying that as some that likes orange flavors) but that's besides the point.

For example:
Mountain Dew has Code Red, Voltage, and many more - just naming a few here.
Dr. Pepper has its Cream Soda and Strawberries Cream flavors.
Coke obviously has Cherry Coke. My personal favorite is Orange Vanilla Coke, but I have to be in the mood.
Even Sprite has a cranberry flavor, I believe.

What are some of your favorite soda flavors? Feel free to post pictures, as well!
 
I've only ever had the original Coke, I wouldn't dare try any other soda flavors, not even other variants of the same brand.

I'm more of a juice kind of guy anyway, so I'd go with Cherry, Blue Raspberry and the Gatorate Glacier Freeze Light Blue flavor as well.
 
I don’t like the original Mountain Dew, but Voltage is my favourite soda! I also like Code Red, but Voltage is definitely my favourite. I don’t drink either often because of how much sugar is in them, but they’re delicious to have as an occasional treat!

I’ve also read that Crush Cream Soda is exclusive to Canada. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but it’s cool if it is! I don’t drink it often either, but I like it! Very sugary and ridiculously pink, but still pretty tasty!

That’s definitely not in the United States, but I have heard of that! I’ve always wanted to try that. I truthfully haven’t even had cream soda despite it being at my job — in which case I could always try it for free. I just haven’t gotten around to it, but I may try it next time I’m working. The Dr. Pepper cream soda is also something I wanted to try.
 
My favourites are probably Pasito and Passiona (or the bundaberg passionfruit one), and I also really like Schweppes brown creaming soda! I also love the fancy fizzy grape or apple juices, but I only really have them for Christmas.

Tbh I don't have fizzy drink that often, but when I occasionally do, those are my preferences
 
the mountain dew wiki is insane, like it's super up-to-date and basically archives every single flavor and stuff. i came across it one day seeing when baja blast was going to be out one year and went on a 1 hour rabbit hole reading about all the flavors available at super specific locations and past releases.

anyways. sprite cranberry >>>>> everything else, argue with the wall

In Japan they had peach coke, which I loved. I think they brought Peach coke to the States as well but I haven’t tried that version. Peach coke is the bomb dot com.

I used to love raspberry Sprite that you can get in those Coke Flex machines, but turns out I’m sensitive to artificial raspberry flavor and it gives me a migraine. It’s a shame, it’s super good.

Left to right: 7-Up Tropical,Dr.Pepper Zero Cherry,Dr.Pepper Zero Strawberries & Cream and the late,lamented Diet Dr.Pepper Cherry Chocolate

I can't drink sodas with sugar but I've found some sugar free flavor offshoots of popular brands that I like.7-Up Zero Tropical has a nice,fruity flavor and is a bit sweeter tasting than regular 7-Up.Dr.Pepper Zero Cherry is heavy on the cherry and lighter on the Dr.Pepper but I like that.Dr.Pepper Zero Strawberries & Cream has a somewhat artificial flavor but it's not overwhelming and my favorite among this group and the one that is no longer with us is Diet Dr.Pepper Cherry Chocolate.It tasted just like a cherry Tootsie Pop with its chocolate center.I miss it.
 
I've always been a fan of vanilla colas. Dr Pepper cream soda is a great one too! I've been curious about the Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream too, I've heard from a few people that it's really good.

I personally didn't like the strawberries and cream flavor of Dr. Pepper. It was a little too strong for me. It's more of an acquired taste. Some people do like it, however, and maybe you are one of those people.
 
I dislike bascically all sodas (I don't like carbonated drinks) but I do like melon creamy soda with ice and whipped cream, when topped with whipped cream it loses some carbonation and its more, well, creamy.

When I drink basically every American soda I feel like im getting punched in the face by the beverage. A mcdonalds sprite K.O.s me for a solid 3 minutes.
In my expericnce the special or other flavors of sodas always taste worse. I had a sip of a friend's sprite canberry years ago and I did nooooottt like it.
 
I love the sodas that some people say are medicinal tasting like Dr Pepper, Root beer or anything cherry, basically. I find them way more interesting tasting than just plain orange flavoured or plain lemon flavoured sodas which just taste like fruit to me.

Since I'm from New Zealand though, we don't have anywhere near as much choice when it comes to sodas and flavours. If I want any of those drinks, you can only buy them in cans that are imported. Probably my favourite soda you can easily find here would be coke zero or ginger beer. I envy all the selection you have in the US lol
 
Been a while since I've really had any soda. I used to drink it all the time when I was in school (lunches ect) but when I got out of school I just went with water for the most part and tea. I do drink it if I go to a restaurant or something. Usually just the classic stuff if I order it somewhere. Sometimes vanilla soda because the flavor is nice.
 
I recently tried a Wild Cherry variant of diet Pepsi, and I liked it a lot.

Canada Dry's zero sugar version of their ginger ale & lemonade is good, too.

I”m going to piggyback on this and agree that yessss the Raspberry Sprite from Coke Freestyles machines is legit. I am a sucker for all things raspberry.
 
I haven't had many variants of an original pop, outside of, like, the Crush drinks, lol. The only non-Crush one that I can recall having is Pepsi Wild Cherry, which I enjoyed. Otherwise, for Crush, since Crush Orange is the original, I've had Crush Lime, Crush Cream Soda, and Crush Grape, all of which I've liked to varying degrees.
