Aww, he's missing one. Kroger has their generic like of pop, the Big K brand, but they also have a cane sugar sweetened line which has a different formulation copycat that Kroger calls "The Fizzicist". It's pretty good, but you can tell it's missing a flavor component or two. Besides The Fizzicist, Kroger's real sugar line also offers Cola, Root Beer, Black Cherry, Ginger Ale, Orange, Birch Beer, and have added Cream Soda & Citrus Peak some time over the last year. I don't drink pop all that often but I have tried all but the most recent two flavors and they're all pretty good.
I've tried a few of the Zevia brand drinks, but they all have an bitter metallic diet soda taste that overrides the flavor. It's sweetened with stevia but it's flavored to taste like aspartame sweetened diet pop for some reason, there's really no reason for a stevia sweetened soda to taste bitter and metallic.
I've always thought Wal-Mart's Dr. Thunder was a pretty good Dr. Pepper copycat. Pibb (formerly Mr. Pibb) is a good second choice to Dr. Pepper also as far as flavor goes. I happened to try the Shasta's some months ago; it's okay, Shasta's flavor seemed on the thin almost watery side.
