Pepsi was drank by my mother (glass bottles) but we were supposed to drink it although occasionally sometimes some was taken or leftover from a party.
I never liked it preferring coke when it was available
I can remember drinking birch beer at one of my family trip to visit relatives i(father side) n Titusville PA. I do not remember any of my brothers or sisters drinking it.
I college I drank Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Fanta and ginger ale. I stopped Mountain Dew post-college; switched Dr. Pepper to Diet Dr. Pepper when I was increasing in weight.
Dr. Pepper starting tasting odd and it was not just the artificial sugar - tried w/o artificial sugar and still tasted odd. I was left with Ginger Ale and Sunkist to drink until I noticed Diet Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer being sold at Supermarket I was shopping in. They never carried very many bottles and every time It was on sale I'd buy all bottles available.
It seems to be an acquired taste although I liked it first time I drank it.
