Been drinking Sam's Cola for past few months as I like to a drink a soda with my dinner. Last month Coca Cola had a big sale on their can soda, so bought a case instead of Sams. I always thought that Coke is king of colas with best taste, but after few comparisons it don't appear to be the case here. Although flavor wise they tase almost the same, to me Sams cola have more sharp flavor than Coke and slightly more carbonation. And more of "AAHHH".
Given the price point of Coke ($15 for 24 cans) vs Sams Cola ($10 for 24 cans), it appear higher price sodas does not always equal better tasting :)

My mom used to buy Sam's Cola when we would buy it at Walmart whenever they had a sale on it and Dad liked it better than Coca-Cola but when Mom found more Coca-Cola sodas on sale we switched back to Coca-Cola but Mom and I would always get the Sam's Grapette and Sam's Orangette grape and orange sodas and they tasted great and my godfather actually started us liking Sam's Cola because when we would visit him during the summer my godfather would buy a whole case of Sam's Sodas and by the time my family would leave my godfather's house he always sent us home with another case of Sam's Cola and we would sometimes leave the remaining sodas with my aunt

What I noticed about store brand sodas is that they don't make 16.9 or 20 oz plastic bottle sodas like major cola brands do. Kroger also have their own brand soda (BigK), but they are only available in cans and 2 liter bottles. Also find it funny that store brand sometimes use variation of famous name brand to label their own sodas. Like in Walmart, similar flavor to Dr Pepper is labeled DR. Thunder, 7-UP is Twist-UP and Mountain Dew is labeled Mountain Lightning.
