RC Cola, You Know You Love It.

[Placebo]

It's the third party of the cola world.

[Cooley Hurd]

1. My dad was the local distributor of it...

I grew up on it.

I still love it.:thumbsup:

[Placebo]

2. It is tasty.

And a lot less expensive than Coke or Pepsi, usually. Which is always good (especially if you're a poor college student like me, heh).

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. It's better than Diet Pepsi.

:rofl:

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. So are feet.

:rofl:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. LOL

:rofl:

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. Unfortunately...

...you can't say that Skip's farts are better than Diet Pepsi. Because that'll get locked.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. LOL

Yeah, but they just might be!!

4. You can't eat a Moonpie with anything but an RC Cola.

[peekaloo]

10. Amen! Welcome to DU!

:hi:

Wasn't that a Jim Varney bit? Along with "what time is it?".

:D

[Finn MacCool]

14. Not sure if it was a Jim Varney bit, I just thought it was one of the laws

of physics. :D

Thanks for the welcome BTW.

[Redstone]

17. Not a law of physics; it's a law of nature.

31. My wife and I once gave a case of RCs and Moon Pies...

to my father-in-law for Father's Day.

He was in hawg heaven.

[Placebo]

12. Welcome to DU!

Glad to have you on board! :hi:

[Finn MacCool]

15. Thanks, good to be here. :)

[Sequoia]

26. How right you are!

[ewagner]

5. WoooooEEEEEeeeeee.....

Moon Pies an' R.O.C. Cola.......

My Grandmother worked for the Nehi Bottling Company (Sales Secretary) in Jacksonville Florida.....spent many a summer sipping RCs and eating Moon Pies right out of the freezer....doesn't get much better than that......

[peekaloo]

16. lol......a friend of mine from Louisiana calls it "R.O.C. " cola

an emphasis on the ar-ruh.

[ewagner]

19. Yep...that's how it's done

in the South....

when I was 5 or 6 years old, I knew what "RC" was but kept bugging my mom for a "ar-ruh-oh-cee" cola......

Okay, I wasn't the brightest bear in the forest.......:(

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

29. RC Cola and a Moon Pie

That's a West Virginia wedding reception!

[MrSlayer]

6. When I was a kid they had cash prizes under the bottle cap.

10 oz bottles had a rubber coating on the inside of the cap that when you pulled it off, might reveal a cash prize of up to 50 cents. They sold a lot of soda that way in my nieghborhood. They also made "Click" root beer.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

38. I remember that! And I used to win pretty often!

We didn't have Moon Pies where I came from, but we would buy the cheap version of Hostess cupcakes (don't remember the name, but they were also better than the expensive brands). No RC down here in the Keys, unless they keep it hidden on a low shelf somewhere.

[solinvictus]

9. I love RC!

Aren't they owned by Cadbury/Schweppes, though? I think RC is branded with Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, and other renegade sodas.

[lavenderdiva]

18. I love diet Rite Cola...

its one of the few that are sweetened with Splenda... my favorite diet cola!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. And how many know that the "RC" stands for Royal Crown?

No, I like RC Cola a lot. And it's a great remedy for car sickness. If you're carsick, sip slowly at a can or bottle of RC Cola.

However, I haven't seen any RC Cola for years.

[edbermac]

21. No way! RC is for wimps! Moxie is the King of All Colas!

You gotta be TOUGH to drink Moxie!

[seemunkee]

25. Moxie - the cough syrup of colas

that stuff is foul

[ghostsofgiants]

39. You think so, huh?

[Aristus]

22. Any Pacific Northwesterners here remember King Cola?

"Do the old switch-ola
To new King Cola!"

:-)

[fishwax]

23. I've been craving Cherry RC Cola for the last three weeks

but can't find it at any local stores. Perhaps they don't make it anymore :(

[ashmanonar]

27. still made, as far as i know.

but who knows if it's still distro'd by you...:/

[fishwax]

30. As long as I know it's still out there

I'll muster the strength to keep looking ... :)

[qnr]

24. More than any product made by Coke n/t

[bertha katzenengel]

28. RC Cola rocks. And in the South, you drink it with one of these:

[ronnykmarshall]

32. Escape!

Come on over to Royal Crown cola

It's the mad, mad, mad cola!

RC! The one with the mad, mad taste!!

[scarlet_owl]

33. I do love it. Especially with a Moon Pie.

[Placebo]

35. I never knew about this moon pie business...

until I started this thread, heh. :P

[Roland99]

34. Diet Rite...Splenda, No Caffeine, No Sodium

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Wow, that sounds like the worst cola ever

Splenda = nasty.

[Roland99]

45. Tastes fine to me and it doesn't have that nasty Aspartame in it.

No aspartame = no heart palpitations for me.

[jswordy]

42. Splenda? Read this link...

[Go_Nukyuler_On_GOP]

36. Yeah, I like it, but it's only #3 on my list...

Behind Coke and Pepsi.:)

[Radical Activist]

37. I heard they were started as a front operation by the CIA

or some crazy shit like that. The guy who told me made a convincing case too. :shrug:

[hfojvt]

43. yes, Royal Crown - the drink of elitists

I used to drink alot of it when I was in Richland Center

[jswordy]

40. Yes, I like RC...but I like the old brand Double Cola better.

[Abelman]

44. Meh - it's okay

Double Cola, that's where the flavor is.
