All the sodas mentioned in this video:

Red Ribbon root beer (01:41): hardest root beer to find, made with the bark of sassafras
Bubble Up (01:48): made with lemon and lime oils
Manhattan Special coffee soda (01:54): they roast the beans, they brew it, they bottle it, since 1895
Sweet Blossom (03:05): florals, from Romania; crisp, clean rose soda; not available anywhere else in the US
Mr Q Cumber (03:30): from the same Romanians
Stewarts black cherry diet (05:00): the finest diet black cherry I’ve ever tasted
Jones diet green apple (05:06): very good
Sprecher lo-cal root beer (05:08): has ≊11 calories
Kosher Coke (06:24): made once a year, just before Passover; made with cane sugar; has a yellow cap and a U in the upper left-hand corner with a circle around it; the label still says “corn syrup” [Some labels say “sucrose” (an ingredient which, I believe, can come from sugar cane or sugar beets) rather than corn syrup. According to this, regular Coke is kosher, but not kosher for Passover. Corn is not a leavened food (chametz), but some consider it kitniyot, a category that is somehow related. (It’s confusing.) By the way, in the Chicago area, the cap & label bear a “cRc” inside a triangle, the symbol of the Chicago Rabbinical Council, rather than the circled U.]
Fentimans Curiosity Cola (09:05): NYT called it the best cola ever made; brewed like a beer; natural carbonation; contains ginger
Faygo Rock & Rye (09:14): cream finish cola from Detroit; similar to the old RC Draft; soft, smooth

Carbonated waters:
Gerolsteiner (10:51):German; great big bubbles
Polanarius (?) (10:54): German; fine bubbles
Vichy Water (10:59): from Catalonia; finest bubbles I’ve ever tasted [Appears to be an imitation of the water from the springs in Vichy, France.]

Double Cola (11:17): formerly called a Lotta Cola; when you taste it you’ll know why they called it Double Cola [According Mr. Nese, the product was known “before 1900” as Lotta Cola. His timeline is a little off: Lotta Cola appears to have been available in the 50s. It was not named “lotta” for its strength, it appears, but for its prodigious 16-oz. size which, according to the advertising, “serves three.”]
Red Ribbon cherry (11:29): by far the cherryest of all the cherry sodas; when you taste it, it’s just “oh my goodness”
Hot Lips blackberry soda (11:37): from a pizza kitchen in Oregon; made from 100% organic fruit; if you turn it upside down you’ll see the fruit come into the neck of the bottle
Banananina (11:49): from Central America; tastes like a jolly rancher; the only banana soda I’ve ever tasted that tastes good
The Original Mabi Drink (11:59): made from the bark of the mabi tree; brewed like a beer; became commercially available 2 years ago: up until that time it was only home-brewed in the Carribean
Moxie (12:13): the original elixer; since 1884; only soda to make it in the dictionary—it came in a 6 1/2 oz. bottle and if you could drink 2 of them, you had a lot of moxie
Manhattan Special (12:27): vanilla soda made with real vanilla bean; you can see the pulp in their orange soda

In the video, Mr. Nese said he’d like to see a pinapple cream. Guess what: Jones makes one.
