    I've never had Thums Up? Where do they sell it and is it any good?

    It's widely available in India. It's a coke/pepsi-type drink, but tastes noticeably different from both. Alot of places will carry both Coke and Thumbs Up, even though Thumbs Up is distributed by Coca Cola India.

    My stepmother still drinks Tab religiously... yes Tab, that pink can you saw in Back to the Future way back when. I read an article a while back that per unit sold Tab is one of the higest grossing soft drinks on the market, simply because they do absolutely no advertising and they sell a very limited amount at 2.49-2.99 a 6-pack. This Zero crap can't be any worse then freaking Tab.

    Tab is like black licorice. The entire production is purchased by the same five people.

    To me, it begins and ends with Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper...

    I like the diet version. The weird thing is that I didn't taste the Vanilla or the Cherry, but it tasted a lot more like Dr. Pepper than Diet Dr. Pepper does.

    OK, so can someone please tell me where I can purchase this "Zero Cola" soda, because I have never seen it anywhere?

    Also, where do they sell the C2's these days, I have been to Walmart store nearby my house, as well as Fiesta, and I haven't seen them sold there.

    Little help people, PLEASE! :eek:

    The Coke Zero should be in stores pretty much everywhere. If I could get one at an electronics store, I would think they would at least hit the gas stations and grocerys. I would check Kroger, they usually have new drinks for cheap (2 for $1 20oz bottles) and are pretty fast in getting new drinks.

    C2 is pretty much a hit or miss. I see them occasionally but not often. I have also seen them on clearence at Target and Walmart but that was a few months back.

    This is my favorite drink. The only problem is that I can only find it in a limited number of convenient stores. I can find the Diet version anywhere but it is just not as good as the regular.

    Yeah, I've never understood the cult following that Dr. Pepper has. I'll drink it if it's the only thing available, but I'd much rather have a Coke, Pepsi, or Sprite.

    Diet Pepsi Vanilla is the shizz.

    also good -

    Diet Dr Pepper
    Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla
    Diet A&W Root Beer

    the best combination i have found so far...

    At the fast food places, get a cup... put the ice in... Add mostly diet coke, then just about an ounce of Strawberry Fanta. Trust me, it's ****ing incredible.

    get a rope...

    ...and Dr. Pepper has a little more than a "cult following". It IS the third most popular non diet drink in the country, after all...

    Glad to know I wasn't the only one who did that. :)

    Also, Diet Cream Soda is good. A&W makes it. It's hard to find in Texas, though. I thought they'd quit making it, but every once in a while I run into it elsewhere.

    I got to sample Coke Zero today. They handed out some free samples at HEB.

    I think the Zero means "Zero taste". Actually, it's a little better than regular Diet Coke, but that isn't saying much in my book. I'll stick to Pepsi One and Diet Dr Pepper I guess.

    These sound like the kinds of drinks (plus rum) Lindsey Lohan had when she was still chubby .

    Diet Cherry Pepsi rules supreme over all other diet cola drinks. The diet cherry vanilla Dr Pepper is also good.

    Negative. I bought a 12 pack yesterday. It kicks butt.
