RC seems to be a reginional drink I know that if I cross the Ohio river RC's disappear for the most part. But go to southern IL and they have Ski. Another unique taste and takes some getting use too.

Everything here is a hydrant. A water hydrant is outside and a garden hose fits it. A fire hydrant is for the fire department. And inside it's the sink. "Get me a glass of water from the sink. Or. Don't worsh your hands over the dishes go to the bathroom sink."

While I haven't drank an RC Cola, for many years, I do remember it having a unique cola taste, unlike the other two leading cola's.

My memory recalls it was not as sweet as Pepsi or Coke. Haven't had one in years though.

I've only heard of Ski via Dumas Walker (with his photogenic mind) by the Kentucky Headhunters:

Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker's
Let's all go, down to Dumas Walker's
We'll get a slaw burger, fries, and a bottle of Ski
Bring it on out to my baby and me

Why I drink RC. Pepsi is to sweet and Cokeacola gives me heartburn.

I certainly know Cheerwine, but Dr. Enuf is a new one for me.

Another unique Southern "soft" drink is Blenheim Ginger Ale -- the Red Cap version "tantalizes and tingles the taste buds, and goes down as smoothly as a firecracker exploding in your throat. Some say its sinus clearing heat snatches their breath away for a bit, while others thrive on the explosion of spicy ginger essence." Blenheim Ginger Ale.

We used to think Pommac was good stuff. I remember it as "Pomac".

Pommac by Hartwall is a carbonated soft drink made of fruits and berries and matured in oak barrels for 3 months. The name comes from "Pommery", referring to Champagne, and Cognac, as it is matured in oak barrels like wine.[1] The recipe is kept a secret.
In 1919, after his best efforts to keep his brewery running Anders Lindahl moved to Stockholm, Sweden as a failed businessman, and founded Fructus Fabriker and began to make Pommac. The recipe was made by a Finland-Swedish inventor. The drink was made for the upper classes as an alcohol-free substitute for wine.
Dr Pepper distributed a formulation of it in the US as a diet drink from 1963 to 1969 in six-and-a-half- and ten-ounce bottles. It took a while for people to become accustomed to the taste, so sales were slow.[citation needed] When sales remained stagnant after six years, and its sweetener, sodium cyclamate, was banned, Dr Pepper discontinued the product.[citation needed]. The original however had always used sugar as it's sweetener.
Pommac is also served as a non-alcoholic champagne alternative on festive occasions.
In late 2004, Carlsberg in Denmark announced that they were going to cease production of Pommac for financial reasons. However, after overwhelming public demand (including a petition tallying over 50,000 signatures)[citation needed] were raised in response, the company decided to keep marketing Pommac.

I've just noticed back about July that I'd been seeing RC's here in West Tennessee. It was my drink as a child, but I was not a fan of the Moon Pie. I've been making sure I have some in the house.

Speaking of regional colas, in the eastern part of Kentucky, Ale 8 is very popular. To me, it tastes like flat ginger ale, but people from that area are addicted to it. I conducted a class once at Fort Knox and had four students from Carlisle in the group. Sometime during the first week, we had room inspections and everyone of those boys had brought along two cases. When asked about it, one of the old boys said "well he** Sarge, we gotta bring it, cause they don't got it down here"
