Talking fizzy drinks: I absolutely love the Danish "Faxe Kondi", which is a little bit like Mountain Dew. But it's only available in Denmark. :cry:

After a brief googling, I assume you mean this. It looks like it has more sugar, though.

That's what I was talking about. It tastes differently from other energy drinks (like sweet carbonated cola/coffee mixture), not as artificial.
Also Club-Mate! Woo! I pity you all for not being able to get Club-Mate! (Note that it's not the english word mate, but the south american mate tea) It's fascinating to see how widespread Mate is available and how commonly known it's now. When I first tried it, it was considered the typical beverage of the Hacker community, but now I see everybody drinking Mate… I feel hipsterish…
And back to comic: I love how easily Jeph can distract the shippers from Claire…
I often felt as if the PvP between Marigold and Dale was some kind of Angus-like way of trying to get in contact with her.

Me too - though a little sweet. Add some Rose's Lime Cordial, or even a squeeze of straight lime juice... Yummy!
The number of times I've asked for tonic water, and they put Gin in it out of habit... never mind. Jinantonix is also OK.
In my days staying at the HMAS Watson officer's mess, (duty free), I sometimes ordered a pink gin, more for keeping with tradition than anything else. I'm more into Chardonnays.

I like it, and it even does me good. Helps me deal with foods I like but that don't return the affection, and is great camouflage at open-bar parties. (I just throw a few bucks in the tip jar at the top of the night and the bartender is usually more than happy to help me with the deception -- if one is needed.)
Nepiophage:
In Ireland we have Red Lemonade, which is the British type with some ingredient which turns it the colour of ruby ale. There used to be a joke TV commercial about "Ireland -- where the red lemons grow."
It is one of only three consumables you can only get in Ireland -- the other two are batterburgers and drisheen. I will not explain what these are as it would cause nausea and retching in any non-Irish readers.
cesium133:
On the subject of soda, while I was in Brazil a couple years ago, I got hooked on Guarana Antarctica. It's somewhat hard to find and expensive in the U.S., though.
