As it looks like you have all rambled off the main subject onto proprietary brands of cold drinks, I'll throw in my two-pennarth.
All those drinks (Dr Pepper, Cherry Coke) are pretty horrific. We have Irn Bru which is quite disgusting. The advertisement used to say "made in Scotland from girders" (it's bright orange with a touch of rust) and I can believe it.
Have you ever put a coin in a glass of coca-cola? Have you ever thought what it is doing to your teeth? Apparently the diet versions are no better - its the acidity that gets you!
And another thing ... I've never seen the point of those cans of cold tea they sell in America. Cold tea is made very easily, I make it all the time when I leave my cups of tea to get cold and it is quite unpleasant. I can't imagine why anyone would want to put it in a can!!!
