Used to love 7UP but something seems to have changed a few years ago to me in its recipe and it tastes too sweet and flat. My first preference would actually be Canada Dry Ginger Ale, but then Sprite (Diet of each actually)
I'm going with Comshaw on this one - coffee or "Chateau Moo" juice over a cola any day.
This thread reminds me of growing up. Whenever my brother or I was given a cola, my dad would say "Coca Cola, hits the spot. When you drink it, you will rot." Gave me a complex about the stuff. Still feel guilty whenever I indulge. So best just to stick with water, coffee, milk, and tea.
