Well, it brings me no pleasure to bag on Pepsi but the people have spoken with their almighty dollars.

Recently, Dr Pepper made its debut in the #2 slot, knocking Pepsi to the bronze position.

Now, the former king of pop (although it has been a few decades now) has been supplanted by what some may consider a surprising choice.

Yes, Sprite is now the country's third-favorite soda.

Let's be honest, these ARE the three best sodas.

In places two and three are Dr. Pepper and Sprite, respectively, per the outlet. The former soft drink accounts for 8.3 percent of all canned soda sales, while the latter one is responsible for 8.03 percent, the outlet reported.

Pepsi, in comparison, only has 7.97 percent of the market, according to the outlet.

See ya later, Pepsi!

This isn't so much a hatred of Pepsi, although it is sorta gross, but it's more about how we, as a country, have finally got it right. Trump hasn't even been president for 6 months but already the three best sodas are now the three best selling sodas.

Now we've just got to fix the order and establish Dr Pepper supremacy.
