I'm a big fan of Walmart's generic soda. 70-90 cents for a 2-liter from what I've seen. I particular Diet Dr Thunder, generic dr pepper is a litmus test for me in generic soda brands.

Their diet stuff flies off the shelves, so that HN story about diet soda "spoiling" (was it methlyation?) isn't a problem. I doubt it lasts even a day on the shelf.

Their kettle salt+vinegar potato chips, orange "yogurt" (comparable to yoplait orange cream "yogurt"), generic life cereal is all pretty good. You can tell, because those are often not in stock, I think their production is limited by agreements with the name brands I would speculate.

Aldi's generic soda was pretty bad. Meijers, most grocery generics, all pretty crappy.
