I'm a big fan of Orangina. I mostly drink Diet Coke.
I think neither of these qualifies as a snooty soda.

I don't drink a whole lot of cola, but if I do, it's usually Diet Coke on the basis that it's the easiest to find.
Although there is something called 'Ubuntu Cola' that occasionally turns up in eating places on the campus. That has a Fairtrade symbol on it, so it's probably a suitable hipster cola. Sometimes I'll buy that: doesn't taste any different to the regular Coke (other than not being Diet of course).
I tried Dr. Pepper for the first time a few weeks ago, actually. It tasted a bit strange: like drinking a bottle of those candy hearts that have love messages on them.

I love how the label tells you to physically turn the bottle inside out before opening.
As a Michigan native, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Faygo. Anyone who grew up here in the 80s did so on a steady diet of Rock & Rye and Redpop. 
Same deal on Vernor's, I think that's the only ginger ale I had for most of my childhood.
I do like Jones Cream Soda quite a bit. And Schweppes Raspberry Ginger Ale. And A&W Root Beer.
Oh man, there's this Caribbean soda-style drink that I had years ago that was a mix of two other drinks, named after some kind of storm or weather phenomenon... arrrrgh, that's gonna drive me nuts til I think of it.
DT, you *can't* drink alcohol? Or choose not to due to religious beliefs? Just curious.

What is "cream" soda?
Basically it's a vanilla flavored soft drink, usually clear or a light amber color.
Nice call on a local favorite, Green River, DT. It's pretty easy to find "lemon flavored" pop but not "lime flavored".
In the root beer category, Chicago has another nice local one called Berghoff root beer. However, Milwaukee based Sprecher root beer is even better.
Oh and here's a map on what US people call "soft drinks". Interesting how influential St. Louis and Milwaukee are on their geographic area.

I like sprite, but only when it's flat.
Cheerwine is good too, but it's only here at the fair.

Reminds me when I was a kid, I'd visit my family in Delaware, and they'd all pretend to not know what I was talking about when I asked for pop

That's because it's called Soda. I disagree with the statistics behind that map though, as I've seen that the numbers from southern counties are like 3-5 individuals who do not represent the population and are distorting the names. No one calls soda coke, we call Coca Cola Coke in the South and Soda SODA.
On topic: Coke is the only soda required by any human being.

I like the word pop. I thought only old hippies used the word.
I don't know how you can call soda 'coke', because coke is obviously just another name for Coca-Cola.
