Well, it brings me no pleasure to bag on Pepsi but the people have spoken with their almighty dollars.
Recently, Dr Pepper made its debut in the #2 slot, knocking Pepsi to the bronze position.
There's hope for America! Dr Pepper just toppled Pepsi and I am here for it Just when we seemed to be at our darkest hour, a glimmer of hope arose. NOTTHEBEE.COM

Now, the former king of pop (although it has been a few decades now) has been supplanted by what some may consider a surprising choice.
Yes, Sprite is now the country's third-favorite soda.
Let's be honest, these ARE the three best sodas. In places two and three are Dr. Pepper and Sprite, respectively, per the outlet. The former soft drink accounts for 8.3 percent of all canned soda sales, while the latter one is responsible for 8.03 percent, the outlet reported.
Pepsi, in comparison, only has 7.97 percent of the market, according to the outlet.
See ya later, Pepsi!
This isn't so much a hatred of Pepsi, although it is sorta gross, but it's more about how we, as a country, have finally got it right. Trump hasn't even been president for 6 months but already the three best sodas are now the three best selling sodas.
Now we've just got to fix the order and establish Dr Pepper supremacy.
Diet Cherry Dr Pepper, my drink of choice. YEAH!
I’ve been drinking Dr. Pepper for 60 years, and when I can’t order a Dr. Pepper in a restaurant I have a Sprite!...............
I almost never drink Soda Pop anymore,
but when I do
I usually choose either Squirt or Canada Dry.
Those two don’t tend to ‘detonate’ in my stomach like the others.
A&W Root Beer for me.
I remember back in the mid 1980s, Cherry Coke made something of a comeback and even my Dad was curious to know if it was anything like the cherry Cokes you got in the soda fountains when he was a kid, lol.
I tried several times but never acquired a taste for it...
It’s been my drink since I was a kid!.....................
I’m a Mountain Dew person myself.
Pepsi is terrible.
Do French-Canadians still drink it?
Dr Pepper is basically carbonated prune juice.
Cherry Loux is the best. Only found in a few gyro restaurants. Sprite tastes like alka-seltzer. Yuck
I don’t have anything against Pepsi or Coke, I just prefer Dr. Pepper or Sprite if I can’t get Dr. Pepper in a restaurant which is common.............
Another victim of GLP-1?
I had a root beer at a burger place the other day
40 grams of sugar
A level tablespoon is 15 grams
Whoa
Cherry Loux?
Never heard of it..................
