@elijahsuicide – I don’t drink Coke either, actually, although if forced into using a cola for something I would pick Coke over Pepsi. What I like is a good root beer, preferably Barg’s in a bottle (made with real cane sugar).
RC Cola is still going, although it now belongs to a Canadian company (Cott Beverages). It is more of a southern tradition, having been invented in Georgia, as in “I’m gonna have me an RC and a Moonpie fer lunch.”
