Some time ago, K and I were the hosts for our club's campout at Pocahontas State Park in Virginia. One of the evenings, we provided root beer and Orange Crush floats for refreshments. I told K I thought two two-liter bottles of each would suffice. She bought 4 of each. We brought home 2 1/2 bottles of root beer and 3 bottles of orange. K and I don't often drink soda. Every now and then, I have some at either lunch or dinner. We still have 1 full bottle of each and one partial bottle of each in the fridge. From what I read, Orange Crush no longer has any natural orange in it. At one time, orange zest was added. Eventually, real orange juice was added. Now, there is no natural orange in the drink. Do you like Orange Crush? What is your favorite soda?

I used to like it. These days I had been using the soda stream and buying those Diet Dr Petes for it..which is like Diet Dr Pepper.

Dr Pepper is a flavor of soda I never had a taste for.

I haven’t had Orange Crush in ages. I prefer Coca Cola Cherry Zero if I’m going to have soda.

I don't drink much cola anymore. RC Cola was my favorite growing up.

Orange Crush is delicious, but I rarely drink it. Coca Cola is my only soda indulgence, although if I don’t want caffeine, I’ll go with Fanta on that rare occasion (preferably strawberry Fanta). I go very light on sugar in my diet except for Coke.

I can drink it, but the sweetness nearly overwhelms me.

I used to drink Orange Crush soft drinks many years ago. These days I drink generic drinks from Walmart or the Dollar stores.

We don't usually keep soda in the house. Once these are gone, we won't be buying any unless we wind up hosting another campout and decide to offer floats again.
