-- How do you feel about RC Cola? *NFT*

[Simply Red]

Do you like the taste of RC cola? over Crushed ice? super-chilled? RC vanilla float, maybe?

I don't drink much soda - but I bought some to go with my taco-burgers, last night and It's pretty decent. It has been probably at least 12 yrs. since I'd had any.

- Retro RC TV Ad - (https://youtu.be/8Xg5dOO5o8A)

I'd recommend staying away from the 2-liters as I've noticed it doesn't hold it's fizz so well.

I've alerted Review Brah to do a video outlining his feelings regarding RC. Once he's agreed and posted - I'll be bumping this with his take.

Until then I'd like to hear what CP thinks of this Retro soda-pop.

[Hammock Parties]

please don't drink pop people

it's not good for you

[Simply Red]

I was wanting to try it out again - Mom said 1893 reminder her of RC. I will drink soda w/ Mexican style foods - but otherwise I usually only drink water. I did have a bad incident last week with a box of chocolate covered twinkies though. I've felt horrible about it all week, and literally prayed for forgiveness - So I get what you're saying.

[Simply Red]

I bought the 6-pack of the 20 ounce bottles - they came in about a buck cheaper than Pepsi or Coke.

[Coochie liquor]

Every single one I can remember from my life (not that many as my memory sucks) has tasted like flat soda.

[Simply Red]

looks like RC Cola international has their own answer to the Coca-Cola 'Life' version.

Please, do tell. Wonder if it was like that night with me and the 2 hot burritos in El Paso?

[threebag]

Use to be you could buy it in glass bottles, primo

I like it as a change of pace from Coke. I can hardly drink Pepsi as it taste horrible.

Usually only drink ice tea(no sugar), ice water, coffee(black), (ice cold)beer and (ice cold)beer.

[eDave]

Nope

[Simply Red]

Please, do tell. Wonder if it was like that night with me and the 2 hot burritos in El Paso?

it was very bad and I'm ashamed. Basically plowed a box in one night - then went and bought another box (the night after) - Plowed two more and then ran the remaining 7 down the disposal. I behave and behave on my diet and then lash out! I just don't keep sweets here at all. That's the best thing for me.

[ChiliConCarnage]

I remember it being a tasty treat but it's been a long time since Ive had one.

[Easy 6]

I dont have it very often, but when I do its always surprisingly good, in a blind taste test I probably couldnt tell the difference between it and Pepsi

People get offended by this - especially here in Atlanta - but I actually prefer Pepsi to Coke. :(

[Simply Red]

Coochie - your observation of it being flatter than most - wasn't far-fetched at all. Just stay away from 2-liters and it'll be okay, fizz wise.

[Gonzo]

This. I hate cokes after taste. Especially Diet Coke vs Diet Pepsi.

[threebag]

Don't pour over ice. Glass bottle or chilled can the best way. I can do a fountain drink over ice though. Plastic bottle is a no no.

Interesting - I will see if Publix carries - in the coming months - I don't procure much soda-pop. But will keep an eye open for the glass bottles.

[listopencil]

I'm not a big soda drinker, and not a fan of cola in general. As a kid I used to ask for 7UP or Sprite in restaurants. The only time I go for a cola specifically is when I add rum to it. I enjoy Sailor Jerry rum and cherry Coke. RC Cola never distinguished itself to me and I never bothered with it. I did buy a two liter bottle of it this last Summer because I was surprised to see it in a convenience store and I wanted to try it for old times' sake. I was unimpressed and gave it to a friend after one small drink.

[Gonzo]

Gimme a Pepsi Free.

You wanna Pepsi pal, you're gonna pay for it.

[Bugeater]

2 liter bottles never hold their fizz no matter what type of pop is in them.

[GloucesterChief]

I like it. Don't drink it often as I stick to diet. I prefer my cola mixed with lime juice.

Add rum and it is a Cuba Libre.

When I was younger, I used to drink RC warm, then do jumping jacks and belch like a mountain gorilla!

[KC_Lee]

When I used to drink soda I loved RC.

[TLO]

Cherry RC is straight FIRE

[scho63]

I drink so little soda and NEVER drank an RC that can remember. The only few ones I like are Stewarts Root Beer, Boylans Creme Soda, and Stewarts Orange. On a rare occassion I'll drink a San Pellegrino grapefruit or blood orange. I drink less than 20 sodas for an entire year.

[Deberg_1990]

I prefer Shasta cola or Dr Thunder

[KCUnited]

Shasta vs Vess could get bloody.

[Simply Red]

Jolt?

[Hoopsdoc]

I would rather drink Llama piss than diet coke. Diet Pepsi is the way to go.

Also, RC is a very underrated soft drink. That's good stuff.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I like RC better than any other mass market cola. Chilled soda, over ice, in a glass. No straw.

Some of the artisan style colas are amazing. Like Fentman's and Fever Tree.

You seem nice.

[Bowser]

I like it only if I can get a Moon Pie to go with it.

[Nickhead]

liked RC cola, and mr pibb was my fav. i can go to a local lolly shop and occasionally get a mug root beer or dr pepper. the only major brands here are coke, pepsi. no off shoot brands.

that said i probably drink a six pack of soda a year.

[Bugeater]

Lolly shop?

[Bowser]

Lolly shop?

Candy store, you bastard American heathen

[Hoopsdoc]

Jolt?

Ahh yes, Jolt cola. Wasn't that the one that said on the bottle "All the sugar and twice the caffeine".

[Nickhead]

especially the fountain version with a stryo cup full of crushed ice.

Love love LOVE Big Red.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Ski Double Cola.

[hometeam]

RC cola is 90% as good as Coke and 190% as good as pepsi.

[Spott]

Used to like it back when I drank pop. Seems like it was harder to find than the other brands.

Interesting. The only ginger ale that is good in my book is Vernor's. Love it, hate the rest.

Never tried Jerry and Cherry but Jerry and Vanilla Coke is the shit.

[Nickhead]

last i heard it was only being sold in public school vending machines :D

Vernor's is awesome. Not the only one in my book, but definitely top tier.

Then there was Nitro, which was billed as "twice the caffeine as Jolt."

Oh man, I had forgotten about that stuff. That was one of my favorites as a kid when I lived in Texas.

Hmm. I don't think I have tried it with the vanilla. I'm going to do that this weekend.

[RobBlake]

2 liter bottles never hold their fizz no matter what type of pop is in them.

you have to shake the bottle slightly and then close it tightly.. holds the cripsy carbonated taste.

[thabear04]

Love to wash this down while eating my sloppy joes. Jk haven't had this soda in awhile do they still sell it.

[Rasputin]

I've always thought it tasted like flat coka~cola

[Simply Red]

Red Rock Ginger-Ale - it contains cayenne pepper - straight out of Atlanta - I recommend, if you ever see it!

[gblowfish]

A must with a Moon Pie.

[Simply Red]

Red Rock Ginger Ale also contains pure-cane sugar - which is apparently something to brag about these days.

I actually had a bottle of that for the first time yesterday!! It's definitely good.

It does have a spice, but I can't find anything about it being from cayenne (not in the ingredients, can't find confirmation online). Seems to me it's just a strong "real" ginger kick.

[REDHOTGTO]

I worked for a RC cola bottling plant for 7 years, I've bottled it warehoused it sold it and drank it for years , yea it's ok

God that's weird I can't find it either! I swear I read that - I didn't just make it up - wonder if they stopped.

A friend. Don't know, but I'll ask.

[Simply Red]

for those complaining about soda going flat - there ARE handling guidelines that will help - for example don't OVERLY tighten the bottles - don't move them around a lot - also pour soda prior to adding the ice cubes.

Stop blaming these hard working bottlers for your poor handling decisions - start taking a little personal responsibility here!!

Could have pop on steroids with Jolt Cola

[Simply Red]

It's funny hearing people call it Pop. It once sounded normal - now - after being here for so long - you never hear it.

[bdj23]

I went to sonic today and ordered a route 44 coke.. it was just short of 3 dollars after tax. I think they put 1lb of ice in the damn thing. I probably got less than 20oz of actual soda.

What a let down.

Why is tightening the cap a problem?

[Simply Red]

Why is tightening the cap a problem?

i've noticed if you go too tight - you agitate it too much trying to get her open - best to go tight enough - but not crazy tight - just a theory.

[threebag]

Plastic bottle use to have those "tap" looking lids you could buy. I never tried them. I gave up on plastic soda battles ages ago. Just seems like a "pour" delivery system. Storage sucks too. 2 liters are okay if everybody has a cup and they chipped in.

[Simply Red]

Undisturbed is the key in retaining fizz.

[Simply Red]

also pour in glass first and THEN add cubes - sounds odd - but try it - it's really weird how it works best that way.

[threebag]

I usually only ice fountain drinks. I have a few YETIs that keep drinks cold forever.
