Which one did you hit to get sprite? I feel like that would be a pretty big surprise if you were asking for a pepsi

    I mean Fever Tree is obviously better but also costs three times as much.

    Ginger beer is the 🐐. The 365 ginger ale at whole foods (if they still make it, haven't had it in like a decade) used to be the only tolerable ginger ale on the market that actually tasted like ginger.

    Can't say I've ever had it. Who carries it? I'll give it a try

    Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.

    I said "does this mean I can have some water?" They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.

    Coca-Cola^®^ and Pepsi^®^ products in the same vending machine? What sort of corporate heresy is this?

    Depending on what button I pushed I would be annoyed but fine, or aggravated. If I pay for caffeine and you give me this, I'm punching your machine.

    Because they are part of Coca Cola Company which has activity in occupied Palestine.

    Doesn't activity in occupied Palestine mean they provide jobs for Palestinians? I'm confused...

    Occupied Palestine = territory Israel has sieged

    What's the difference between the two Canada Drys? I mean, the labels are obviously different, but they both just seem to be regular ginger ale from what I can make out. Any Canada Dry superfans that can clarify?

    I won't stand here for this Vernors heresy

    Vernor's is its own class, and I prefer it to drink on its own. But Canada Dry is better for mixed drinks. Excellent with scotch, and a way better mixer for rum than coke (fight me on it).

    I think basically one is pretty much... just ginger ale flavor, and the other has more citrus flavoring as well.

    Or, there are just two different buttons/labels for Canada Dry, from different... marketing epochs.

    I think the Canada Dry that I'm thinking of, thats just ginger ale, is like a bronze colored can, and the '+citrus' one is green ... ?

    I think they're the same, just different pictures. There are other variants of Canada Dry, but they typically incorporate other colors to distinguish themselves.

    I'm guessing this machine is in a high ginger ale demand area.

    Years ago I worked at a place with a soda machine. 25 cents in 2008. Crazy cheap.

    But when I put a coin in and pressed the buttons just right, it would drop two. I drank so much soda back then.

    Bet OP just got Sprite from home. “Oh, I didn’t get the sprite from the machine. Why would you assume that?”
