Recently I asked you for your favorite childhood candy, candy bars and snack foods.
Then I asked you for the name of your childhood neighborhood theater.
So what was your favorite soda pop? Try to fool me with some I've never heard of before. Let's keep this nostalgia train a rollin' down the tracks.
My favorite soda pop was Lotta Cola. It was a cola like Pepsi and Coca Cola, but it came in 16 oz. bottles, so I got 4 oz. more for the same price. That was really great after a hot, sweaty game of baseball.

when i grew up in Queens in the late 50's you could walk into a luncheonette or a candy store and order a cherry coke. the person making it-would take a glass, add ice , pump cherry syrup into it , pump coke syrup into it and then fill the glass with seltzer from a tap , stir it and hand it to you . Incredible stuff.

Chocolate Soldier -- sort of like YooHoo, except nostalgia tells me that it was a lot better. I used to buy it at the little general store down the road from my grandparents' place in Kentucky.
It was only a dime a bottle, and it was sold in one of those old-fashioned ice-filled soda dispensers where you ran the bottle down a long metal strip til you got to the end.
I don't know which one I'd like more right now: a nice cold bottle of Chocolate Soldier or the old-fashioned soda machine! ;-)

Hey Lotta Cola is still made!
My favs were Tab and Fresca, which strangely enough have made a comeback.
Have you ever heard of Vernors, Big Red and Cherokee red? They are still made too but hard to find.
Does anyone else remember Cherry Crush? I can find strawberry, grape and orange but no cherry.

Sorry,I can't fool you with this one.Coke was the only soda I drank when I was little,and I had to sneak it from my Grandma's fridge,because I wasn't allowed to have soda. In my younger days,Coke came in a green,glass 12 ounce bottle. Remember those?

I like Moxie. I miss it too. It is real popular in Maine but I can't find it in Georgia as it's a Northern product. :(
when I was a teenager I used to enjoy drinking vanilla cream soda it was in a clear bottle and there was always an adult that thought I was drinking beer,lol.

The Pop Shoppe was a whole store dedicated to soda. My fave was Cream Soda and Lemon Lime (green).

It was all about Tab and Crush for me. Oh and my mom used to buy a lot of RC Cola back in the day. They had a bunch of different flavors.

There was pop shop pop in my city and you could get any flavor you wanted. Some were pretty rank. My favorite was root beer or just plain coke
