Those have been my two favorite sodas for decades. Coca-Cola cherry and Dr Pepper. Both I think I had the first time at the end of the 90's when I went back to Poland on vacation to visit relatives. Now there are also those zero sugar variants.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

By definition:
The "syrup" in pop historically refers to the liquid sugar component of it, where as in modern times it's a bit more colloquial where with substitutes and whatnot it's still "syrup" in industry parlance but isn't strictly a syrup.
Aspartame, flavouring, food colouring, water, co2 - the flavoring, colouring and aspartame does not strictly constitute a "syrup" simply because it's mixed together
There needs to be a distinction between: sweetener syrup and sugar syrup. This is due to these things being different entirely. Sweeteners have low calorie content and low sugar content. Compared to sugar syrup which is a moderate calorie content and all so-called simple sugars. The use of regular sugar in fizzy drinks is considered "bad" because due to the amount of sugar dissolved in the drink, which is known for causing insulin spikes when consumed. Fizzy drinks with artificial sweeteners can also be considered bad due to allegations that the ingredient could cause cancer. It should also be stated that fizzy drinks contain acid that errode the teeth over long periods of consumption. ( https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet-soft-drinks.html )
