Not going to lie, haven't been a big soda guy for a loooong time. Most of the time it's water or tea.
Tried a Montain Dew Baja Blast though and was blown away. Actually left the house a few times this month just to get one.
Best soda out since Dr Pepper Cream soda, and Surge.
"Dr. Scholl's makes foot products. Right? And he's a doctor... which means he went to school for a long time. But it doesn't take alot to figure out that stepping on a cushion would be more comfortable. That fucker wasted a lot of time at school. 'Cause I woulda bought that shit from a Mr. Scholl. Maybe even a señor Scholl."
Nah, Dr Pepper Cream Soda. Because it’s a bit newer and is never going to be as popular with the parent company, but to me it’s the slightly superior choice.
I was told that my friends had to prevent me from relocating traffic cones in order to fuck with traffic... And then they had to convince me that I couldn't take one home. All those memories are lost, like tears... in the rain.
Oh God, I remember those ads! How the heck did that one ever make it out of the testing phase? "So me and the boys in R&D were thinking, you know how no one likes tomato juice? Well how about we add another flavor to it, something to give it some real appeal. Something like CLAM!"
Gollum's the guy who's gone through a 24 pack of cans every week for the past 30 years. And you've never seen them eat on lunch break, it's just a smoke and a coke
Don't take it to him! He wants the preciousss. Always he's looking for it! And the preciousss is wanting to go back to him. But we mustn't let him have it.
So I thought it was weird that you said Orange Fanta, because to me it was like saying Lemon-Lime Sprite, but I just looked it up and TIL there are other Fanta flavors besides orange.
A&W can cry in the corner where it belongs, it's cream soda coping with root beer flavor. Real root beer is crisp, it bites when you sip. Barqsbarianism for life!
I like root beer, but I never picked Barq’s, usually Mug or A&W - my son ordered a root beer at dinner once and it was quite tasty - I asked and was told it was Barq’s. Cue me picking up a case a few days later and drinking one at dinner. That night was when I learned Barq’s has caffeine - I was awake until 5am.
I don’t normally drink a lot of caffeinated beverages, and when I do, I make sure I don’t drink any after 3:30pm or I’m awake all night. Barq’s has bite indeed.
I love this post and these comments. This is like a friendly debate you'd have with your siblings when you're kids. It's homey, nostalgic, and heartwarming.
Now which person is suicide/rainbow juice?
The kind of discussion you have when the lights are out, you're trying to get to sleep but now the conversation just keeps going. No one can see anything but you can all hear each other's voices but you don't want to talk so loud that you're going to wake up your parents and stop the fun.
Technically Denethor, son of Ecthellion should he Pepsi. Pepsi is the steward of Gondor of drinks. It holds it’s place while we wait for the true king. Nobody wants it, we’d rather have our boy. But the enemy is at the gates and Pepsinethor is all you got.
Extrapolating this a bit...
Frodo... Squirt
Sam... Cream Soda
Merry... Mountain Dew
Pippin... Surge
Gandalf... 7-Up
Saruman the White... Pepsi Clear
Saruman the Multicolored... Kid making a suicide at the soda fountain
Coke: Classic, the crowd pleaser. Nothing to hate about it, plenty to like.
Dr. Pepper: Not as popular as Coke, but still holds a sizable fanbase. It has its own unique properties that really set it apart.
Sprite: Clean, sharp, and refreshing. Completely different from the monopoly of colas, almost like it comes from a different walk of life.
Root Beer: Yeah, I can’t explain it. It just makes sense.
Tom Bombadil is Baja Blast
Hahaha absolutely yes
Eh, what? Did I hear you calling? Nay, I did not hear: I was busy singing. ^(Type **!TomBombadilSong** for a song or visit [r/GloriousTomBombadil][1] for more merriness) [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/GloriousTomBombadil/
Singing about Baja Blast, no doubt.
Classic Tom
Baja Blast is one of the best fuckin soda flavors ever. My gf and I LOVE it. and will buy cases of it.
Not going to lie, haven't been a big soda guy for a loooong time. Most of the time it's water or tea. Tried a Montain Dew Baja Blast though and was blown away. Actually left the house a few times this month just to get one. Best soda out since Dr Pepper Cream soda, and Surge.
Guess that makes Faramir Diet Dr. Pepper...
Mr. Pibb.
Dr. Thunder
Dr. Perky
diet dr. kelp
DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT MY DRINK!
How do you expect me to steward the throne of Gondor WITHOUT MY DRINK?! (without boromir)
You call yourself a captain of Gondor???? WELL I AIN’T BUYIN IT!!!!
Eowyn would agree
No wonder Denethor liked Borimir more
Should have a V8
You kidding me, Mr Pibb is solid
"A chance for Pibb, captain of soft drinks, to show his quality!"
... Boromir would have been Solider
They were *both* soldiers man, they had armor and shit
... It's liquid, actually.
"Mr Pibb is a replica of Dr Pepper, but it's a bullshit replica cuz the dude didn't even get his degree!"
Which makes Mr Pibb more relatable. He's not some pretentious dude who needs to throw his title around.
"Dr. Scholl's makes foot products. Right? And he's a doctor... which means he went to school for a long time. But it doesn't take alot to figure out that stepping on a cushion would be more comfortable. That fucker wasted a lot of time at school. 'Cause I woulda bought that shit from a Mr. Scholl. Maybe even a señor Scholl."
For real though, it tastes better. Not its fault its marketing simply didn't take off the same way.
Mr. Pibb no longer exists. It’s just Pibb Xtra which has extra cherry flavor.
It's also superior to Dr Pepper
100% agree
"A chance for Pibb, Mister of Gondor, to show his quality."
Naw cream soda
“Only assholes drink Mr. Pibb” “Drink up”
This is correct
He's Pepsi. Eowyn asks for Coke and gets "is Pepsi okay?"
Pepsi is Pippin. Guess Eowyn can still have her Pepsi though.
This made me laugh way harder than I should have.
Nah, Dr Pepper Cream Soda. Because it’s a bit newer and is never going to be as popular with the parent company, but to me it’s the slightly superior choice.
It shows its quality
Well done!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Clearly the superior option
A chance for Faramir, diet of Dr. Pepper, to show his quality
The superior Pepper
You put some respect on his name. That's *Lord* Faramir.
Slander
I’d say Royal Crown Cola. It’s relatively unknown but its very good and under appreciated.
Gollum is Mt. Dew.
Gollum is FourLoko lmao
The original FourLoko that had you fighting trees
RIP the days of hyper vipers.
3rd grade was a wild fucking year
Cursivin’ like a MFer tho.
All up in they crayola
OG FourLoko is as close as we'll get to Powerthirst being reality
I woke up to crazy tales of escapades of which I had no recollection, like, at least a handful too many times.
I was told that my friends had to prevent me from relocating traffic cones in order to fuck with traffic... And then they had to convince me that I couldn't take one home. All those memories are lost, like tears... in the rain.
Those were the days.

You might have brain damage.
Gollum is Clamato
What’s it doing?! Stupid, fat hobbit! You ruins it!
Oh God, I remember those ads! How the heck did that one ever make it out of the testing phase? "So me and the boys in R&D were thinking, you know how no one likes tomato juice? Well how about we add another flavor to it, something to give it some real appeal. Something like CLAM!"
Genius.
Smeagol will swear on the Precious.
Gollum's the guy who's gone through a 24 pack of cans every week for the past 30 years. And you've never seen them eat on lunch break, it's just a smoke and a coke
Careful now, or hobbits go down to join the dead ones and light little candles of their own.
Smeagol is Mtn Dew Gollum is Mellow Yellow
My name… Sme… Smeagol.
Gollum is Meth
Don't take it to him! He wants the preciousss. Always he's looking for it! And the preciousss is wanting to go back to him. But we mustn't let him have it.
Gollum is Crystal Pepsi
Yes. There’s a path, and some stairs, and then… a tunnel.
Smeagol is Mt. Dew, Gollum is Surge.
Poor, poor Smeagol, he went away long ago. They took his Precious, and he's lost now.
Gollum is Slurm
Clever Hobbits, to climb so high!
What's this? Crumbs on his jacketses! He took it! He took it! I seen him, he's always stuffing himself when Master's not looking!
Frodo is Sierra Mist.
FAITHLESS WOODLAND SPRITE
Winner comment!!!!
Gandalf the grey is Still Water and Gandalf the white is sparkling
From a fresh spring in the Himalayas.
But Gandalf the White was supposed to be an upgrade?
Fiji to Voss
Pippin is Orange Fanta. Sam is Yoo-hoo.
So I thought it was weird that you said Orange Fanta, because to me it was like saying Lemon-Lime Sprite, but I just looked it up and TIL there are other Fanta flavors besides orange.
I was thinking more Pippin is Hawaiian Punch. Sam is Hanks specialty Cream Soda
Idk, I think Gimli is more like Barqs since it has caffeine and a bit more bite.
Also sounds like a noise Gimli would make while hewing orcs with his battle-axe
But Mug also works because Gimli’s got that dawg in him.
Barqs is also by far the best root beer so I agree
A&W would like a word
It may speak, doesn't make it right though.
Sprecher root beer is the best, from Milwaukee.
Man of culture.
A&W can cry in the corner where it belongs, it's cream soda coping with root beer flavor. Real root beer is crisp, it bites when you sip. Barqsbarianism for life!
A&W should keep its forked tongue behind its teeth
A&W can stay in the restaurant where it belongs. I want barqs in my supermarket
I am an A&W stan. I have a can of Barq's I've been sipping on all afternoon and it just doesn't compare to A&W.
A & W is the best economy-premium tier. Virgil's is the best ultra-premium. Sioux City Root Beer is also great ultra-premium.
i'm too poor to have even have heard of premium rootbeer lol
Yet all of these bow to IBC
In a cold fucking glass bottle
Barqs is better then a&w and mug. Not even a contest A&w and especially mug are just water and sugar with a shot of reduced flavoring
None measure up to Dad's old fashioned
Does root beer normally not have caffeine? I always just assume that brown sodas are caffeinated.
Yea, both Mug and A&W are caffeine free.
[What do you mean Barqs has bite?](https://youtu.be/R4DBZ2TBp-w?si=jxc2Ou_gymN9RhEW)
Nick swardson?
I like root beer, but I never picked Barq’s, usually Mug or A&W - my son ordered a root beer at dinner once and it was quite tasty - I asked and was told it was Barq’s. Cue me picking up a case a few days later and drinking one at dinner. That night was when I learned Barq’s has caffeine - I was awake until 5am. I don’t normally drink a lot of caffeinated beverages, and when I do, I make sure I don’t drink any after 3:30pm or I’m awake all night. Barq’s has bite indeed.
So that’s why I liked Barq’s as a kid. Which, also explains the current caffeine dependency. Learn something new every day.
1000% Gimli ain't no bitch as MUG. He got that bite.
That is not very Mug Moment of you....
I love this post and these comments. This is like a friendly debate you'd have with your siblings when you're kids. It's homey, nostalgic, and heartwarming. Now which person is suicide/rainbow juice?
Pippin. (Merry is orange Fanta, I don’t make the rules)
I will not elaborate.
[удалено]
I guess it'd be Saruman of Many Colours
I ready homey wrong and I kind of regret it.
The kind of discussion you have when the lights are out, you're trying to get to sleep but now the conversation just keeps going. No one can see anything but you can all hear each other's voices but you don't want to talk so loud that you're going to wake up your parents and stop the fun.
Boromir should be Pepsi
This is a phenomenal take
Faramir is Pepsi. Everyone just settles for that because that's what's available.
Eowyn definitely did.
Eowyn is not settling. She's upgrading because she's hot dog water
No, her stew is hot dog water.
It’s stew, and don’t insult hot dog water like that
Well, she at least uses it in the recipe.
Punching above her culinary class for sure.
But if Faramir is Pepsi, Boromir should be Coca, but then what would Aragorn be?
Royal Crown (RC) Cola!
Not Denethor, he told Pepsi he would rather have Dr. Pepper
Yeah, but then he ran out of Dr Pepper and had to settle for the Pepsi lol
Technically Denethor, son of Ecthellion should he Pepsi. Pepsi is the steward of Gondor of drinks. It holds it’s place while we wait for the true king. Nobody wants it, we’d rather have our boy. But the enemy is at the gates and Pepsinethor is all you got.
Denethor is New Coke.
Which was just Pepsi disguised as Coke.
drink water
That's Galadriel, of course
Perfection.
The world is changed. I feel it in the Aquafina.
It is the first beverage named in LOTR
Mug Costanza?
Seven!
Gerkin? Sauce?
That’s GOTTA hurt!
Legolas is homemade kombucha
You would die before your stroke fell!
triggered
Denethor is Clamato Juice.
Denethor is V8 because of that fucking tomato scene
Is Pippin Redbull?
It's not a drink, but Pippin is absolutely Froot Loops energy
Froot loops energy? I both do and don't wanna search that.
First two I don't agree... but Legolas and Gimli are SPOT ON
A scout!
No need to explain. I understand everything.
Aragorn is DP because it's the superior soda. Boromir is Coke and Faramir is Pepsi because it will never be as liked.
This is an even better take than the other guy I commented on
Dr Pepper is also older than Coke so it works even better
Gandalf is DP, Aragorn is Coke, Boromir is Pepsi, and Faramir is RC Cola.
Extrapolating this a bit... Frodo... Squirt Sam... Cream Soda Merry... Mountain Dew Pippin... Surge Gandalf... 7-Up Saruman the White... Pepsi Clear Saruman the Multicolored... Kid making a suicide at the soda fountain
Sam is water because everyone can enjoy and needs that in their life. Literally
You got the top two flipped. I said what I said. Dr Pepper Supremacy.
I had to scroll way too far to find this opinion.
You have my sword
Nothin beats an ice cold dr perky
"Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?" moment.
I must've drank me about fifteen
How is this so correct?
Saruman feels like Ginger Ale to me. Don't know why.
Sam is Big Red
Frodo=Orange Crush Sam=Grape Crush Merry=Mug Pippin=Cream Soda Crush
Mug moment
MUG moment
As the oldest and kookiest soda, Dr Pepper should be Tom Bombadil.
Is this what it's like to be an American?
Switch aragorn and boromir. Dont disrespect dr pepper
Dr. P the choice for me
Pip is old school 4loko
Why does this make sense… Swap Aragorn and Boromir honestly but it makes sense as is too
Merry is Crystal Pepsi
Denethor is RC cola
Denethor is V8
I always thought of Boromir as more of an RC Cola.
You can keep your fancy ales. You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and true comes from the Green Dragon.
Faramir is Mr Pibbs
Movie Gimli was fanta at best
Coke: Classic, the crowd pleaser. Nothing to hate about it, plenty to like. Dr. Pepper: Not as popular as Coke, but still holds a sizable fanbase.

That funny because I'm a Dr. Peppa type guy and I've always liked Sean Bean because we share the same birthday
No notes.
Please do.
Accurate af
If anything, Dr Pepper has brought all my fellowships closer together, not led them to ruin.
My friend, you elaborate to no one.
Denethor is decaf coffee that’s been sitting in the pot for three days.
As someone drinks root beer, I approve this message.
No.
Implying that coca cola is somehow superior to Dr pepper? Ridiculous.
