My parents are from the South and the only soda we got was RC. I still like RC better than Coke or Pepsi. If I had to choose from those two it would be Coke. Also if you have travelled overseas try some of their soft drinks. Inca Cola is my favorite. Go to sodapopstop.com to check out some of the cola drinks thet sell there. Also after working at UPS for years one gets used to drinking Jolt Cola. Tastes terrible but enough caffeine to help you get thru the shift.
