Must be a marketing failure of some kind that they weren't able to keep up/compete real seriously with the big(ger) boys of cola. Too lazy to look it up, but yeah I think RC is pretty tasty, and could drink it interchangeably with Pepsi. Coke is the best though.

RC cola at leonardo's in CR is great I get it everytime I can.
For whatever reason Coca Cola taste better at Chick Fil A just a oddity I like to point out. Anyone else?

McDonalds has their Coke dialed in....

At McD (or I assume CfA)

I like RC too, and get when I see it. But I don't know if I think that because it is better or just a hipster/rarity and "not part of the big two" thing...

For the record, otherwise I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi.

Jester Park golf course clubhouse used to have a fountain with RC and Sunkist orange on it. I would switch it up between those two options daily.

I lived on Sheldon Avenue, just down the street from Westgate. We'd walk to the Hy-Vee just south of Lincoln Way on Sheldon for groceries....I'd always pick up two 8-packs of 16 oz bottles of RC Cola, because it was cheap. But it was OK. I'm a Coke guy now though.

Growing up we had an RC Cola machine outside of our small town grocery store. I usually went with either RC or Cherry RC but Ruby Red Squirt was also the shiz. My friends and I also referred to RC as Righteous Cola.

RC Cola is wonderful. Of course, my family is from the South, so we all love RC Cola.

Something I've learned, thanks to family: RC Cola and Moon Pies are a seriously underrated combo.

Does anybody else think this is the best cola out there? I drink a lot of Pepsi and occasionally Coke, but when ever I'm someplace that carries the Royal Crown I always buy some and ask myself why are they not at the top of the cola wars.

Totally agree. I live in Wyoming and whenever I'm home, I load up the car with Boulevard Beer and RC Cola to bring back.

Drinking RC Cola is an immediate nostalgia trip back to my grandma's house.
I always liked RC. I had no idea it still existed.

I don't much care between Pepsi, Coke, RC, et al.

But an RC on ice in a glass glass.... pretty damn good.

What would you call a drink that was Crown Royal mixed with Royal Crown?

I am definitely having one of those as soon as practicable.

I haven't had RC Cola in 25 years. I did not like it then, but it'd be interesting to try it again.
