I have vacillated between Coke and Dr. Pepper (only drank Pepsi when nothing else was available). Truth is, I'd rather have a root beer (preferably home made)

I'll drink things other than Coke but prefer coke. I hate all the diet Sodas, they don't taste right and I won't drink them. Nothing taste like sugar except sugar. I've been avoiding soda for the most part and drink water, Milk or fruit juice. If i have a soda usually its coke, root beer or orange drink. A root beer float which is root beer and vanilla ice cream in it is a nice treat at times.

I prefer sugar to corn syrup. The corn syrup is sickly sweet. We have access to Cokes bottled in Mexico where they use real sugar and I prefer those. Still prefer root beer, again with real sugar not corn syrup

Changed over time. It's Diet Coke now if I have anything. Coke back in the day. Running off 'Nam on a tin can has the crew inventing all sorts of criteria for best. A factor we used besides taste was "belchability". There RC was a favorite. And that Dr. Pepper aka carbonated prune juice stuff? No way.

Did you ever notice that a case of Coke in Vietnam cost more than a case of beer?

CPT Jack Durish - As Archie Bunker once said, you can't buy beer; you can only rent it. Lol!

We had one Coke machine which, like the slot machine in Donovan's Reef, was always broke. Then we learned the secret. Seems the CPO mess stored their beer in it to keep cold. Only SKC had the keys. We knew something was up when cardboard was put behind the glass. Never fear, the retaliation was epic.
