🥤The Most Popular Soda in Every State… and Coke Is Only #1 in THREE?!

If you had to guess America’s favorite soda, you’d probably go with Coke or Pepsi, right? 🥤

Well... apparently America has other plans.

Instacart recently released data showing the most popular sodas ordered on its service, broken down by state—and one soda absolutely DOMINATED the country.

And it’s not Coke.

It’s not Pepsi.

It’s Dr. Pepper. 😳🥤

🏆 Dr. Pepper Owns 17 States

Dr. Pepper was the #1 soda in 17 states, including:

🤠 Texas🏔️ Colorado🌵 Arizona🦌 Missouri🌲 Montana🌵 New Mexico🌾 Kansas🎸 Tennessee🏞️ Alaska...and several others.

Basically, if you’re traveling through parts of the South or West, there’s a pretty good chance somebody nearby has a Dr. Pepper in their hand. 😂

🍹 Ginger Ale Is Having a Moment

Here’s one we didn’t see coming:

Canada Dry Ginger Ale is #1 in several Northeastern states, including:

🍁 Maine🦀 Maryland🏙️ New Jersey🔔 Pennsylvania

Meanwhile:

🥤 Schweppes Ginger Ale takes New York.

🍒 Vernors is #1 in Michigan.

Apparently, ginger ale is running the Northeast and nobody told us. 😂

🏔️ Mountain Dew Country

Mountain Dew dominates parts of Appalachia and the Upper Midwest.

💚 Kentucky💚 Indiana💚 Ohio💚 South Carolina💚 Wisconsin

And Diet Mountain Dew takes the top spot in:

🥤 North Dakota🥤 South Dakota🥤 Minnesota🥤 Nebraska

That’s a LOT of Dew. 😂

🍑 Coca-Cola... Only Three States?!

Here’s the biggest shocker:

Classic Coca-Cola is #1 in only THREE states.

🥤 Florida🥤 Georgia🥤 Louisiana

That’s it!

But Diet Coke is doing pretty well, coming in at #1 in:

🥤 Massachusetts🥤 Utah🥤 Illinois🥤 Washington

And Coke Zero takes:

🌴 California🌺 Hawaii

🥤 And What About Pepsi?

Pepsi fans... we’re sorry.

Classic Pepsi is #1 in only ONE state: Delaware. 😭

Diet Pepsi does a little better, taking the top spot in:

🌽 Iowa🌲 Oregon

And Sun Drop is the favorite in North Carolina. 🍋🥤

😭 And Fanta Gets NOTHING

One final tragedy...

Fanta Orange Soda was #1 in ZERO states.

Not one.

Not even close. 😂🍊

🥤 So What’s America’s REAL Favorite?

According to Instacart’s data, Dr. Pepper is the big winner, claiming the top spot in more states than any other soda.

And Florida?

We’re apparently keeping it classic. 😎🌴

Coca-Cola is #1 here.

So, Jacksonville... be honest:

🥤 Coke🌶️ Dr. Pepper💚 Mountain Dew🔵 Pepsi🍊 Fanta

What’s going in your fridge? 👀
