1. Ting ... the divine grapefruit soda from the West Indies is, hands-down, Fizzy Drink #1. Not as sweet as most fruity sodas, Ting's tart aftertaste is the only way to cool down the palate after a volcanic roti. Available at roti shops everywhere and Kensington Market. 2. San Pellegrino Aranciata is truly the new shit. It kicks Orangina's sorry French ass. Available in Little Italy and at frou-frou restaurants. 3. Ramune is a clear fizz beverage from Japan that makes the list not only for its piquant and subtle flavour but also for its gorgeous packaging. It's sealed with a marble held in place by the pressure of the carbonation. You break the seal by pushing on the marble with a little plastic accoutrement (included). Like all high-tech devices, instructions are in Japanese, so when I first tried Ramune in San Fran, I spilled most of it. I've never seen Ramune in Canada, but if you ask me nice I might be able to hook you up. 4. President's Choice Pink Grapefruit Soda At 77¢ for 2 litres, this unbelievably cheap, super-sweet, superpink drink is perfect with a BBQ. Points lost because hot pink interferes with my macho image. Loblaws or No Frills. 5. Stewart's Orange Cream Soda Creamsicle Mmmm. Try their Classic Key Lime too. 6. Orbitz is now defunct but it makes the list for good design. Orbitz has flavoured blobs of gelatin floating peacefully in clear soda water. Reminiscent of a lava lamp, this stuff came out with the lounge revival and quickly disappeared after the company realized people don't like eating their drinks. The fact that the tactile sensation was pretty close to barf didn't help matters. 7. Coca-Cola The sweet, black juice of heaven Not so much a beverage as a way of life, Coke wakes you up in the morning and tucks you in at night. Coke knows you better than your mother does. Coke still respects you in the morning. Coke doesn't want to hurt you, it just wants to be your friend. 8. Tonic Water Try it with gin. 9. Dr. Pepper Next time you go to 7-Eleven, buy a Dr. Pepper Big Gulp and a pile of comic books. It's pure comfort. 10. Chubby makes the list because of its truth in advertising - it comes in a short, fat, plastic bottle. Unfortunately, it tastes like soap so just keep it next to your vintage Orbitz and pass it down to your children's children before you die. Available at finer dollar-stores everywhere.
