I had RC cola today. First time since around the mid 90's. I enjoyed it a lot. That is all.

rc cola is awesome.. i used to work at dominos pizza as a kid... most dominoes (around new york/long island at least) ONLY had RC cola as a soda choice.. and it was great... when dominoes finally "sold out" to the major soda companies like coke and pepsi, customers were pretty upset, i remember delivering and they were like "Coke wtf!"

RC has terrible distribution and slow deliveries unfortunetly..

There’s an RC bottling plant in my town so it’s pretty popular and widely available around here. They also brand Diet Rite(which my wife loves). I’ll admit it’s the best diet drink available. I only drink Kool-Aid though. I don’t like carbonated beverages(well... other than beer). Kinda weird I guess. Anyway, just browsing about while I try to decide what movie to watch and ran across the RC cola post. For those not familiar with it.

I first started drinking it in the early 90's when I got into R/C for the simple reason that it was called RC cola! :mrgreen: :lol: After a couple years you couldn't find it around here anymore. Since then I've periodically thought about it but never stumbled across any.

I happened to come across 2 liter bottles of it in Rite Aid and bought a couple. I was nervous to try it in fear of not liking it since I couldn't really remember what it tasted like. It all came back to me and it tasted just like I remembered, awesome!

What I would have really liked to try is the Royal Crown Draft cola but its been discontinued here in the States. :?

OMG, I was so addicted to the RC Draft cola...I would drive way out of my way to pick up some when I knew it was in stock. It was fantastic. I remember many times taking it to the counter and getting carded (it came in the dark brown bottles, just like beer) and trying to explain to the cashier it was soda, not beer. I remember when the local liquor store told me they couldnt get it anymore...I was heartbroken.

RC Cola is everywhere down here in the south, Kalil Bottling Company is the local bottler in TN. We also have Sun Drop around here. I personally don't care for it but the people around here that like it will fight you for saying something about their Sun Drop.

I saw a billboard for RC Ten the other day. I guess I'll have to get a bottle for display purposes. Here's an image I found. I just picked one at random... :P
