speaking of alternatives, what brand do people hate that actually has a decent alternative?

I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don't like but has an alternative?

i'm an absolute cola addict and unfortunately nothing else scratches the same itch for me. i am a fan of iced tea though

It's the fizz. I love iced tea, hot tea, and a variety of other drinks. But I was a huge soda fiend.

I switched to sparkling water and HATED it for like 6 months. Now I'll drink more of it than I was drinking soda.

I still have cola mixed with alcohol, but that's it.

yeah that might be it tbh. i really dislike sparkling water but i can't deny the mouthfeel is a huge part of it.

I got a soda stream, hooked it up to a big CO2 tank and have insanely cheap homemade carbonated water. It's been a game changer.
