K Roger's

You read the previous post so you know what to do here. Drive across town till you see an ugly brick building with a bunch of cars parked in the No Parking Fire Lane and you'll be at Kroger, where you can get these cheap imitations known as Big K.

Mug and Big Red

78. Mug Root Beer (A-) Not the best of the root beers but it is one of my favorites. Foamy and delicious.
79. Diet Mug (C-) Not so good
80. Mug Cream Soda (B) Decent cream soda. Not the best but it's drinkable and I'd buy it if it was on sale.
81. Diet Mug Cream Soda (C) I wouldn't buy it if it was buy one get one free.
82. Big Red (B-) Tastes ok but makes you look like a vampire
83. Diet Big Red (C-) Look like a vampire, but with a lower chance of diabetes
84. Big Red Vanilla Float (B) It tastes ok but it really needs more vanilla and foam to pull off the float effectively.
85. Big Blue (B-) Making it blue didn't make it any better

213. Big Pineapple (C-) Generic, fake pineapple flavor and nothing worth drinking a second cup

Mr Pibb and the Citrus Band

57. Mr. Pibb (B-) Failed attempt at a Dr. Pepper knock-off. It's an ok drink, but the apprentice didn't succeed the master in this case.
58. Pibb Xtra (B-) Adding cinnamon didn't make it better. Sorry :(
59. Surge (C) Once again we have a soda that looks like pee and once again we have a soda that tries to match it's predecessor, Mt Dew, and fails. That's why it isn't made anymore.
60. Sprite (B) What I drink when I don't want to be up all night. The best of the clear citrus brands.
61. Sprite Zero (B-) No sugar, but doesn't fall to far from the original.
62. Slice (B-) It's ok. Nothing special that makes me wanna go buy a pack. If it's at a party, I'll drink it but I'd probably drink something else first.
63. Slice Mandarin Orange (B-) Just a little bit better than regular Slice.
64. Sierra Mist (B-) Not on par with Sprite. Not bad, but not equal.
65. Diet Sierra Mist (C) My wife seems to like it. That's why there's always two different sodas in the fridge, cuz she drinks what I won't.
66. Sierra Mist Free (C) Giving it a different name didin't make it better. Sorry PepsiCo.
67. Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash (B) I like cranberry juice so I dug this idea. Too bad it's a limited thing.
68. Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash (C-) Not as fond of this one. It can stay seasonal.
69. Sierra Mist Ruby Splash (C-) I can't stand grapefruit juice.
70. Diet Sierra Mist Ruby Splash (D) This is even worse. No sugar to dampen the nasty grapefruit.
71. 7-UP (B) The closest thing to Sprite's equal.
72. Diet 7-UP (C) Nope. Not feelin it.
73. Cherry 7-UP (A-) I love this drink so much that I added grenadine to my 7-UP while I worked at O'Charleys. Of course I did that BEFORE they did. Damn PepsiCo for stealing my ideas!
74. Cherry 7-UP Antioxidant (A-) Made a good drink a little "healthier" by adding Vitamin E. OOH! AHH!
75. Pomegranate 7-UP (B) Tasty but not as good as the Cherry version.
76. Diet Cherry 7-UP (C-) Why must everyone ruin the delicious qualities of a cherry soda by taking the sugar away? The 8th Deadly Sin.
77. dnL (B-) It ain't clear and it ain't an equal blend of lemon & lime. Add more lime and it shifts the color of the soda. Soda Chemistry 101

Barq's

53. Barq's Root Beer (B-) Strong, acidic root beer w/o the foamy quality I prefer.
54. Barq's Diet Root Beer (D) Bleh! Nothing good about this.
55. Barq's Red Creme (B+) Not to shabby. Not the best red cream on the market but it's a satisfying drink.
56. Barq's French Vanilla Creme Soda (B+) This is a good cream soda. Not the most impressive, but very drinkable.

AMP 51 & 52

51. AMP Energy (C) I'm not too fond of "energy" drinks, but they are carbonated sodas by definition so I've added them to my list, but only in small quantity. It's better than Red Bull.
52. AMP Overdrive (C) Still not impressed.

OMG this is disgusting!

#278 R.W. Knudsen Sparkling Vanilla Creme Soda (F) This is the new most disgusting soda I've ever tasted. It tasted like soy milk that was a day away from expiration. Rainbow Blossom really should've warned me.
