    Is there any coke alternative that’s almost as good and in some regard better, but for free?

      I bought Pepsi after a long time of drinking almost no sodas, and none of big-brand ones (and I prefer Pepsi to Coke generally). It was somewhat of a shock as to how loaded it was with caffeine and sugar. Next time I’ll rather get store-brand soda that’s five times cheaper and has barely any sugar and no caffeine, even if it’s blander in taste.

      Amusingly, Ubuntu Cola is pretty good.

      Lots of smaller, independent brands make nice cola, like Fritz-Kola in Germany or Breizh Cola in France. Don’t expect to find them at your local hole in the wall though.

        And here I like RC cola because it tastes to completely different than coke. I find it to be the most distant from coke flavour of all the colas I’ve had

        They’ve cared about the shareholders over the customers for way too long. Enshittyfication isnt a strategy, it’s a symptom of promising infinitive growth.
