Soft Drink, Hard Quiz

By Miss Cellania in Food & Drink on Jun 3, 2009 at 10:33 am


Three US soft drink companies own more brand names than you probably were aware of. In today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss, you are given eleven soda names. Can you identify whether it is a product of Coca-Cola, Pepsico, or Dr Pepper/Snapple? I failed this quiz miserably, probably because I don’t drink soda pop. Give me another cup of coffee! Link

    64%…. Didn’t even know Dr Pepper/Snapple were seperate from the others. I thought Dr Pepper was part of Pepsi.. *shrugs*
    Oh well.

    73% = 8 out of 11. I guess I drink too much soda! (or is it ‘pop’?)

    I nailed this one to the wall. The pop aisle at the supermarket groups products by company (not by flavor), so I’m used to seeing, say, Sprite in the Coke section, Sierra Mist next to the Pepsi, 7Urp with the miscellaneous stuff. Makes it easy for the quiz, if not so easy for the shopping.

    This would make a good Jeopardy category…

    100 here as well. I took a guess on the 7up one though, because when we lived overseas, we were right down the road from the local Pepsi bottler and that was where it was made.

    91% I would have sworn Sunkist was a Pepsi product.

    Lol Hootie… our supermarkets put them up like that as well (probably all of them do so it’s easier to have whichever brand is on sale grouped together)…
    I was trying to picture where the ones I wasn’t certain about were in the grocery store :P lol

    Seems to me that some of these answers would be different if this quiz was canadian.

    I missed Sunkiss as well. The only one though. I usually bomb on those quizzes.

    Score: 82% (9 out of 11)
