You say Coke gives you energy so I assume you are looking for a caffeinated/carbonated alternative? Maybe diet Mountain Dew?

Mmmmmm - my favorite but a far cry from any cola or even lemon/lime soda.

Hello, Diet Dr Pepper!? The only diet drink that tastes close to the original.

Mexican Coke. All profits go to a foreign country. It tastes good too.

Most large grocery chains have their own house brand of soda. I don't know how good their coke clone is or who makes it, but Walmart's house brand of fake dr pepper is quite good. So those might be worth a try.


Kyle, Dr Pepper is a coke product, although I agree about the diet Dr Pepper. Aside from the fact that Dr Pepper is made by coca cola, it might not have enough caffeine for the OP. it's fairly light on the caffeine compared to the colas..


Coming back to add: I googled. house brand sodas are made by Cott Corp, so they are not a coke product.

Pepsi is the most logical substitution.



You could try RC cola, if it is available in your area.


Mountain Dew is made by Pepsi and it is loaded with caffeine.

why? I know my Sister in law won't consume any products made by coca cola. Something to do with politics not sure. In any case try diet Pepsi.

I know I'm gonna regret this, but why do you have an issue with coca cola bottling company?
I don't know if this is the OP's reasoning, but I've been reading of some people who are boycotting Coke (as well as Pepsi and McDonalds) because they continue to operate in Russia.
