Underrated, or rated appropriately: Italian lemon soda is the business.

A.I. Coke.
Futurey.
What is the difference between that and standard coke?
Sadly it appears the Green Sand, the apple drink with a touch of lemon from Sumatra has gone our of business. Fortunately Vietnam still has makes Schweppes Bitter Lemon.
A vague bubblegum taste.
Not sure I would say underrated by trying lemonade at fast food joints in America compared to our standard lemonades and ours are so much worse itâs not funny. Took me 30 years of my life to taste the better lemonade
I think one of the ones I tried was Minute Maid
I had a house mate that used to always drink all my cokes in the fridge.
So I started buying Dr Pepper. Problem solved.
I love it.

All American soft drinks and post mix make me sick (genuinely), it is due to the High Fructose Corn Syrup. Thank goodness for Australian sugar cane.

The use of HFCS in US coke is a cross subsidy for the US corn sector, initially driven by the US import embargo on Cuba and thereafter by exorbitant tariffs and small tariff rate quotas for cane sugar from third countries ( and for some EU beet sugar).
The Australian sugar industry got nothing out of the so-called Australia US FTA. Not even a small quota increase.
IIRC there was some deal in the US Mexico FTA allowing for imports of Mexican coke sweetened with cane sugar, with the Latinos grabbing all that could come in.
Now that explains it, thanks BA
Do they have to be fizzy?
Clamato. Life changing, F the haters.
flavored with spices, dried clam broth and MSG
Sounds like a Vietnamese soup
Also delicious
It tastes good?
What are you talking about country lemonade is an absolute gem?
I hate to mention something that doesnât exist anymore butâŚ
In Hong Kong for a year or so back around 2006 they had Star Fruit Fanta and it was the greatest drink Iâve ever experienced in all my life.
The day after I came back from my trip there I spend $4000 to get back there and get another one.
If the coca cola organisation mass proiduced that and gave it as much advertising as coke or sprite, it would be the biggest selling thing of all time inside of 3 years.
