JUp or Sprite

I have been type 1 diabetic since I was a little kid so I can only speak about those versions. But this is the pecking order around here including the house brands sold at Canadian supermarkets.

Sprite Zero
Diet Choose Up (best name)
Diet Spritz Up
Diet C Up
7Up Zero Sugar

I do not like 7Up very much.
 
I like Fresca but it's really not the same product. No grapefruit at all in Sprite or 7Up I don't believe.

Have you ever tried 'Squirt'? I know it's not available in all states.

It makes a good whiskey sour.

Huge debate in my house.

I really have no idea.
I'm definitely a Coke over Pepsi girl,
But I've never really thought about Sprite -vs- 7Up.
I guess it's that, if I want a Coke, I'll get a Coke.
I am kind of curious now, though.
 
No love for Starry?

The new name for Sierra Mist.

I forgot Sierra Mist even existed.

I wonder ... am I the only person here who knows what Ale 8 is?
I always have one whenever I go back to Kentucky.
I've never seen it anywhere else.

I think it's pretty exclusively a hillbilly drink - ok, Hillbillies and Hillbilly-adjacent.

in PA we had A-treat... can't remember if there was a lemon/lime version of that because we normally got cream soda or black cherry
 
I enjoy a Squirt every now and then.

7Up if I’m making punch. Never really buy Sprite.

Starry is just Pepsi's latest attempt to cut into Sprite sales. Remember Slice in the 90's?

Ya know, @JohnShadows once said the same exact thing, and not too long after that, he and his friend Harold were arrested for public indecency at the neighborhood Denny's...
