I don’t drink as many as I used to, mainly just drink water.
The excess calories are too much for me now.
I’ll have a soda on weekends with a meal but not usually by itself..................

Since the racists in Coca-Cola korporate demanded their employees "be less white", the brand deserves to disappear into the dustbin of history.

I just wish the colas would lower the calorie content “Pepsi Light” had half the calories. It failed.

I know Dr. Pepper/Keurig/7Up are the same company. The 7Up BRAND used to be dominant in the lemon-lime soda field. McDonald’s used to carry it. Coke stuck to its knitting and quietly pushed Sprite, and 7Up stopped running big ad campaigns, losing share during the New Age soft drinks of the ‘80s/90s, and is now an also ran in the U.S. One problem is that Pepsi keeps on coming out with lame lemon-lime drinks (Mountain Dew is its own thing), like Teem, Slice (which wasn’t lame but faded all the same), Sierra Mist and mow the worst of all, Starry, which my daughter says looks like a fake drink they would have in a TV show or movie.
Also, there is no reason Wink cannot be pushed to make a run at Fresca.

The neglect that victimized Hires is inexcusable. For some reason A & W has gotten all the attention, when Hires was the FIRST national root beer brand.
It still exists, but is hard to find. There is a specialty soda shop in Phoenix (35th Ave and Cactus) that has about 20 brands of Root Beer, and ten of Sarsparilla and Birch Beer. They have Hires Root Beer in the fountain at the neighboring Rocket Burger, which is part of the same operation. I dislike Root Beer, or I would have had some.

Pepsi Light had several iterations. You are correct. The first iteration added a touch of lemon flavor and took out half the calories. However, they added saccharin (no Nutrasweet/Splenda in those days), so it still had too many calories for the Cheryl Ladd wannabees, and had the nasty saccharin aftertaste that people hated. They tried a 1 calorie version later, and that just never caught on.
The Pepsi Light name has also been used in Canada for an entirely different product altogether.

As a boy I could take the bus into downtown Houston to hang out and watch all the adult drama of winos, hustlers, the men with no legs on push boards, the men entering almost invisible doors where hookers were, the oyster bars open to the sidewalk, the hustle and bustle, and during that day if I had a dollar I could go to the run down and completely packed James Coney Island and get 4 chili dogs and a Hires Root Beer.
