I have an unfortunate addiction to Dr. Pepper.  Unfortunate because I am passing it on to my kids.  As soon as I have the will power I intend to quit in favor of no soda at all.
My husband grew up in non-pop household.  I grew up in a house where my little sister's first word was "Pop." So I have actually tapered off from what I used to drink when I was single.
I would be interested to know if those who don't drink soda grew up not drinking it.

Actually, I grew up drinking all kinds of soda. It was always readily available. I stopped drinking it by just deciding that i was going to quit drinking it, as i knew how bad it was for me, and now the only time i'll drink it is if i have no real choice, and i'm thirsty. The only thing we had more often than soda in my house, was tea. Which i am still hopelessly addicted (if thats even the right word, since i could NOT drink it, i just love it too much) to.

Hm, Pepsi or Coke.  Pepsi has more of "wake me up" effect on me- more often than not I'll feel sleepy half an hour after drinking Coke, but I'll drink both.  I live in the town where Pepsi was invented, but Coke has a good presence here as well.  Too bad they never serve both in one restaurant- then I could choose.

And I never, ever drink Diet anything anymore.

I grew up only being allowed to drink soda on the rare occasion.

At one point I bought a 100 oz. mug that I would get filled literally 4-6 times a day, then when I didn't want to drive to the gas station anymore I would sit and drink a 6-pack.

Yeah, 4-5 gallons of soda a day.  >>'  That wasn't good for me.

Now I drink a couple cans a day.

I was raised only drinking soda on occasion.  I still only drink soda on occasion.

There's a wonderful pizza joint in Provo that brews its own root beer.  They serve it in frosted mugs and it's excellent.  Their pizza is really good, too (though pricey).

What pizza place are you refering to Jade?

Words cannot describe how much I love Dr Pepper (though "unholy addiction" comes pretty close).

I like root beer... alot. But my cravings are starting to switch over to any type of fruit flavored soda. Like grape, orange, strawberry, etc.
I've even once had the delightful chance to enjoy banana flavored soda.

I'm starting to like soda that's been flattened a bit... not completely flat but easy on your throat. And I used to loathe cola drinks. I still do, but not as much. I'll drink some when I'm desperate or it's all that's available.

I know this guy from South Carolina. His favorite soda, hands-down, has got to be Cheerwine. They don't sell it in Maryland where we live so whenever his relatives visit, he somehow convinces them to bring it up in pallets. The way he goes on about it is...frighteningly devoted.

Guava is also very tasty. (I've had that mostly in Southamerican countries, though.)
