Do you drink generic sodas?

I won't hesitate to buy generic sodas if the name brand ones are not on sale. Most of them are pretty good, some of them are not great. The Sam's Choice Diet soda from Walmart is not that great, but their diet version of Dr. Pepper is pretty good. So do you drink generic sodas or do you like to stick with the name brands? Care to share any good generic sodas?

I have severely curtailed my soda consumption. As for brand names v. generic, I don't really have a preference. I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but when it comes to generics it really doesn't matter. Although it isn't a generic brand, my favorite brand is Avery. Avery is a local company that makes and bottles their own soda. They don't use high fructose corn syrup like every other brand out there. You can check out their website at averysoda.com. I refuse to put aspartame or sucralose in my body, so I avoid all diet drinks.

i dont think we have generic sodas here in this country but we have cheap knockoffs of the name brands. They are good to but you can taste the cheapness

I pretty much like anything that can just plain taste like soda. :] I really like drinks like sprite and stuff, and I imagine it's pretty hard to fail something like sprite, so generic soda is pretty easy to get for that. Also, I like orange soda, which even though I can't drink because of my braces, most generic brands of that are pretty good as well. For sprite I like twist up as a generic brand. :D

I don't mind buying generic sodas. They are much more inexpensive than name brands any day. They taste just as good as the more expensived brands do. One of my family's favorite soda beverages is Walmart's cherry cola. My children like it above the name brands. I wasn't sure that they would, but i was wrong.

Supermarket cola is often bottled by the same firm that bottles the big brand names and is exactly the same stuff! So, at less than half the price, I don't mind buying it for my family. Although I prefer a good cup of tea!
