Gah! Another British soda I wish we had stateside. We don't even have the cherry flavor anymore, and they've rebranded Pepsi Max as "Pepsi Zero Sugar" for some reason.

No ... It really doesn't.
IRN-BRU rules in Scotland. Throughout the rest of the UK, it's behind Coke....

Anyway - back to discovering more obscure regional sodas (or 'Tonics' as they are called in New England).
Is Bubble-Up still made/popular anywhere I've seen a few painted signs on barns in New England and of course the reference in 'Rainbow Stew'

Wait I'm confused....Cherry Pepsi still exists in the states. Are you saying it doesn't?

Cherry Pepsi (and Diet Pepsi) totally does, but I haven't seen Cherry Pepsi Max (or its new name, Cherry Pepsi Zero Sugar) in about a year or so.
The secret ingredient is New Englander grit and spirit

No no let's take the word of a Foreigner over someone who actually lives in the country as to what is popular there.

There are some really wacky soft drinks in Scotland that are popular that you'll never see here : Vimto, Tizer, Lucozade, Ribena

I was very fond of Lucozade and Ribena when visiting there. The wackiest soft drink I saw in the UK was Still Tango, which was basically just Tango without the fizz. It was like drinking soft drink syrup.

Slight clarification... it is only called tonic in Boston. I lived in New England for 63 years and that is the only place that I ever heard that word used and then by only one person. (Pronounced taa-nic)

I'm a Bostonian and these days you rarely hear tonic. My 80-something mother in law said it all the time and you'll see it on signs in old packies (liquor stores) that haven't changed much since the 60s, but folks under 40 just say soda.

Speaking of regional drinks and my favorite "soft" drink; Yuengling Beer. A Pennsylvania beer. Available at EPCOT. So Coke can leave but don't touch this one.
If people want Pepsi all they have to do is pour a Coke and add some water. BAM! Pepsi. You're welcome.
Nah son, it's the other way around.

First... son??
Second, you actually think that Coke is a watered down version of Pepsi? Seriously?
