Soft drinks are consumed in the U.S. in alarming numbers. They are loaded with sugar (except for the diet ones) and overall unhealthy. Yet they continue to be extremely popular and sell like crazy. Here are the top 5 best sellers according to MSNBC.
It's the original cola and has been in the lead at number one for years and years. Coke is favored by children of all ages, as well as adults and holds on to the number one spot. Over one billion CASES of coke sold in 2011.
Diet Coke moved up a notch to the number 2 spot in 2011 knocking Pepsi down to number 3 for the very first time in history.
Pepsi Cola fell down to number three in 2011, giving way to the Coca-Cola Company taking the top two spots. Pepsi is a little sweeter than Coke to me and doesn't have as much carbonation.
Mountain Dew is my personal favorite soft drink when I do not drink a diet soda and the third for the Coca-Cola Company in the top five. Mountain Dew is a sweet citrus flavored soda pop.
Dr. Pepper comes in at number five. Dr. Pepper takes on a different flavor being a bit spicy. Dr. Pepper is mostly popular with females for some reason. Last year they started to market a version for men. Funny, but true!
Yep those are the 5 staples at most parties and households. My family members are pepsi addicts but I still think Coke is better because it's sweeter :) Thanks for sharing!
