Generic cola is regional than a motherfucker so you should probably state where you're from before posting.

 

[OnPoint]

These names are tragically comical.

Absolutely. But Mountain Holler honestly wasn't bad.

 

[Jarate]

outta get dat purple drank

Generic Grape Soda is generally the best

 

[akira28]

faygo black cherry over crushed ice will never do you wrong.

It's more off-brand than generic though. Generic is like the wild west.

 

[JaseMath]

Does RC count?

 

[SystemBug]

If you're in Canaduh, I remember President's Choice makes some good Grape Soda as well as root beer.

I think their cream soda is pretty good too

 

[Southernfried Pimpin]

I've been trying to find the cheapest good off brand or generic sodas. I got some Black Cherry from Sunny Select and that shit tastes like Robitussin.

If you're down south Publix Black Cherry is great.
If I wasn't on this health kick I'd get a case today.

Was going to post my own but this shit is soooo fuggin good.

[Weilthain]

Only in Scotland(?). Cheap and pretty good actually. Return the glass bottle for 20p.

 

[adamsappel]

Mr. Pibb and RC Cola are not generic brands, just not as popular. I prefer Mr. Pibb to Dr Pepper and RC Cola is my favorite sugared cola.

I'm from Detroit, though I live in Indiana.

Real talk, I never knowingly had a non-Faygo pop till I moved out of state.

I was at Wally the other day and remembered this thread. I am a Dr. Pepper man with some occasional Pepsi. I decided to buy a 12 pack of Sams Cola for $2.50.

Well I have to say it's pretty damn good. I poured it for some friends and told them it was Pepsi and they didn't even qiestion it.

Lol

The Kroger brand sodas.

 

[James Woods]

Refreshe. The cola or lemon flavors. Tastes good and is cheaper than Coke and Sprite.

Always seemed kinda generic to me and possibly the average consumer. But man they taste great. I really hope that company finds more success because I love their soda, as rarely as I have it.

Jones costs more than some name brands. OP is talking about that shit that costs like 60c a 2 liter.

Also, the best is Dr. Thunder btw. Wal-Mart brand Dr. Pepper.

[Dunk#7]

Raising them right...

 

[Winterfang]

I like the one from Kmart. Smart Sense Root Beer, is not better than AW by any means but it's serviceable. Twelve pack for 2-3 buts is not too shabby either.

They definitely started as a specialty "microbrew" soda company.

Has anyone tried this?

Interesting story behind it.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapette

It is only available at Walmart. I have only recently heard of it, I have seen positive things about it..

That's not generic...

Publix sodas are oddly spot on...

I'm not a big soda drinker these days (I'll have one every month or so), but I am surprised at the quality of Publix's store brand.

Was just gonna say this, it's pretty decent and only 99 cents for 2 liters.

 

[Buttchin]

Wegmans... pretty much every flavor.

 

[sn00zer]

AAAAWWWWWwwwwwww yeah michigan bros

 

[Trouble]

Does RC Cola count? Because RC Cola.

 

[sn00zer]

TAB.

This is THE hipster soda...because it genuinely tastes terrible

 

[SloaneRisette]

Well that's a case against Faygo.

I hear this is pretty good cola http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2CynHaI0k

It's called Cuckoo Cola...

But seriously Tiki Punch is the best soda ever invented.

 

[Jarrod38]

Giant Eagle Cola

 

[water_wendi]

i go with either Krogers Big K for the Diet Ginger Ale (their other diet drinks are good) or i get Walmarts Diet Cream Soda.

This stuff is way more expensive than any major brand in Minnesota. For 4 12 oz bottles it's roughly the same cost as a 12 pack. It tastes way better than most other stuff, but I would hardly recommend it as a cheaper alternative.

Only thing I can think of that would be worth it for "cheaper but still good" is Mr. Pibb. Otherwise my policy for pop is the same as it is for alcohol: If I can't afford to drink what I want, then I won't be drinking it at all.

 

[diehard]

No mention of Shasta yet?

It's not as cheap as it was 10+ years ago though.

Jones isn't generic soda.

I always assumed it appeared super generic because of the boxes looking like this:
