The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?

I'm personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.

Soda is great for energy if you’re doing crazy exercise though. On the Seattle to Portland ride, I was able to up my calorie intake by about 800 kcal just by drinking full sugar soda when I stopped to eat. I still wasn’t able to consume enough calories, but it got me a might closer.

I wouldn't say it's "great" since it's so sugary, but they had soda at an ultra marathon I did last Saturday. It was a great pick me up to drink a cup of coke. Supplimented the soda with other food, but it helped recover some calories quickly and has caffeine. I really try to stay away from the stuff otherwise.

When you’re burning many thousands of calories, it could be the difference between making it to hour eleven or crashing at hour nine.
