Best I've found is Polar with LaCroix a distant second.

Interesting. I find the exact opposite to be true. Pamplemousse LaCroix is my absolute favorite seltzer.

As far as TAB goes, my father was an addict right up until they quite making it. He's been drinking it with gusto since the 70s and damn near shed a tear when production was halted last year. I'm talking 4-6 per day. Everyday.

Lacroix has to be one of the nastiest things I've ever tasted.

And here in the south, everything is "coke".

"you wanna coke?"
"Yes, please"
"what kind?"
"Dr. Pepper, please"
"sure thing, Sugar"

A lifetime ago, i visited the Coca Cola building in Atlanta.

Arrived to a large area and first thing i noticed was the sticky floor. Then i saw a wall where all beverages manufactured by the company were available. Some really exotic ones.

Picked a cup and went to work.

As i tasted the first disgusting one i realized why the floor was sticky...

Diet Pepsi cherry has been my go-to diet beverage of choice for about a decade. I would not normally even try mango-flavored diet pepsi, and this thread has really made that clear...

Thankfully, I don't drink Coke or Pepsi, or I'd probably have tried it. I love mangoes and have had mango trees in the yard in a couple of places.

So I tried a non-diet/Zero Pepsi Mango yesterday. Not really that bad to my pleasant surprise. Adding a little vanilla would make it better IMHO.

Not surprised. When I first saw the commercial the assumption was it would not be a winning combo.
