I like all the flavors in the glass bottles with real sugar. I really like their cola but wish they would add this to the glass bottle/real sugar lineup.
My favorites were orange and root beer.
It'd have to be Red Pop.
I'd agree, unfortunately I can't drink any pop anymore. That stuff was always good with pepperoni pizza [[one of the few miraculous things that can actually improve Domino's "quality" of cardboard-er, I mean, pizza).
As I've stated before, I feel bad for other distant cities that would only carry the crummiest flavors [[Cola, Orange, and Grape) and complain about what a sh*t drink it is. What?!-No Red Pop, Rock & Rye, or Ohana Punch? No wonder they get a bad first impression of it.
Redpop, cream soda, and 60/40. They used to have a flavor I liked called Frosh years ago, but I don't see it anymore.
Mexican Coke products of Coke, Sprite, and various flavors of Fanta are all made with regular sugar. You can find them most places, but if you go to a grocery store like Kroger, you have to look in the Mexican/ethnic food aisle to find them as opposed to the pop aisle.
For Coke, it's called Coca-Cola Life, and for Pepsi, it's called Pepsi Next. They're both made with a blend of sugar and stevia. Coca-Cola Life is pretty good.I know Pepsi has gone back to selling its pop with actual Sugar. Also, both Coke & Pepsi are experimenting with a variant of pop that has Stevia.
But it's funny because people have been drinking the pop with fructose for so long that they can't even tolerate the real/ natural stuff.
rock/n/rye
Rock and Rye mixed with vanilla ice cream is the best.
It's gotta be Rock n Rye. Lots of companies make the other flavors [[admittedly not as well), However, nobody makes Rock n Rye. It is smooth, just sweet enough, and has a distinctive, indescribably pleasant kick. Rock n Rye is Faygo's masterpiece. I just wonder what a Rock n Rye highball with real rye would taste like.
Yeah, speaking of-[[and I'm not trying to instill temptation into those going to meetings, here), anyone got some good cocktail recipes using Faygo they want to share?
My fav was Arctic Sun followed closely by Rock N Rye and Creme Soda
Of course, as you may or may not know, Rock n Rye the pop was named for, and flavored after, a once extremely popular alcoholic drink from the pre-prohibition era that was made with a base of rye whiskey and rock candy, aged together for a few months. My grandfather long kept a big jar of that stuff [[the booze, not the pop) aging with orange peels, cloves, and cinnamon at the back of his kitchen cabinet for a little holiday celebrational tipple on Thanksgiving and Christmas.It's gotta be Rock n Rye.

I do wonder though what your Rock n' Rye and rye would taste like [[perhaps with a little lime added). Pretty damn good I suspect, particularly with some smoother rye.

I was present at the making of two different annual batches of Lithuanian Home Brew Krupnikas [[alcoholic medicinal liqueur) made by a Lithuanian family friend. The second
batch was made more quickly, with more cooks in the kitchen, and didn't taste as good
as the first.
Hey, Al! Your family holidays must have been pretty cheery! Takes me back to when Nonno used to make "funny fruit" in a Ball jars! We'd put some in the fruitcakes and eat the rest! Yum! Zzzzz!
