I've cut back on soda these days, but on the rare occasions I do get it, I like the Thomas Kemper stuff (particularly the root beer, but the grape is pretty good as well.) I also like Jones' cream soda (for some reason it tastes a lot like toasted marshmallows) and their orange and cream is pretty good also. Beyond these two (which are both local brands, although I understand that Jones has become fairly widespread) Boylan also makes a pretty good grape soda.

I've pretty much completely eliminated caffeinated sodas from my diet though (since it usually causes trouble sleeping for me) and only occasionally drink other types of soda.

Its Faygo's version of "Squirt" the grapefruit "pop". Thank you for the correction, Boagman.

I really want to try some "Teem" or "Mr. Pibb".

I found a local mom & pop here in Rhode Island that carries these weird sodas. Can't think of the name, but all very light and refreshing (not heavy like Coke.) They have a lemon-lime job that might as well be crack! I can drink a bottle without even thinking and every sip makes you want to drink more. Closes thing is Sprite / Sierra mist, but way better, not quite as sweet. More actual lemon lime flavor, but the whole thing is rather subtle still. Damn, I want one now.

I got some horrible Mexican sangria flavored soda.

DO NOT WANT.

I have tried out some other strange ones. Hmm, like Hansen's "Natural" soda, or some company's Ginger Brew (first time I got it the checkout lady thought it was alcohol, lol).

For a number of years I went almost entirely without soda (had it like three times a year). Personally, water is the best daily drink for me. None of that tooth rotting business.

Seems like my favorite soda varies depending on where I am at. Back in Arizona Cactus Cooler was a definite favorite. On a trip France to see some relatives I couldn't stop drinking Fanta Orange. It was so light and bubbley. The Fanta Orange here is way more syrup-y and gross. The one soda that has always been there for me is Dr. Pepper...especially here in Texas where it dominates. Oh, and I had a fling with Pocari Sweat...not sure why though.
