Default Best fruit sodas

So I'm in a bit of a fruit soda phase right now -- grape and orange mostly. Picked up some tasty ones from Vintage Soda Shop in Airdrie (Frostie's Concord grape was delicious!) but mostly hitting the Crush and Fanta since they're available everywhere.

What are some of your favorites?

Lime Crush

Soda Pop is gone from my life for the most part but I'll still stock up on Lime Crush If I'm up in Fort McMurray. Think you can get it at that place in Aidrie, though you'll pay a premium.

Don't drink much soda anymore, but tried this(grape)...taste was okay and got me right messed up. Lower back felt great!

I'm partial to the blood orange sanpellegrino. But all the flavours are tasty.

Not sure if it is still around, but Fanta grape was the best ever.

Confirmed -- I was drinking one while I made this thread. Picked up a 12-pack at Shopper's Drug Mart.

The San Pellegrino ones are all good. Orangina is also pretty tasty, if the pulpy bits don't bother you.

The Tang and Grape Kool-Aid syrups make pretty good sodas if you have club soda or a soda stream.

I just remembered this one - I have purchased them at Sunterra. They are pretty good, but a bit pricey for a 4 pack.

Sobey's has some nice Italian sodas. They have several different flavors - Blood Orange, Pink Grapefruit, Sicilian Lemon, Pomegranate, Strawberry and Clementine. We like the Pomegranate the most. The San Pellegrinos are also popular. Not really a soda, more of a malt beverage that comes in several different flavors as well, is Barbican (found in ME shops). Again, the Pomegranate is our favorite for those, but they have Peach, Raspberry, Strawberry, Pineapple, Mango & Passionfruit, Apple and Lemon.

I recently had a taste test between Sunkist Orange and Fanta Orange. I liked the Sunkist better. That is all for my contribution to the thread.

In the US they actually have diet fruit sodas.
