Maybe an odd question but..
DD's baptism is next month and I've been picking up cases of soda at the food store every time I go. I've been getting the store brand which is what we usually drink - it tastes the same to us and is a good price.
DH saw it all in the garage and said I should get Coke or Pepsi for the party or we might seem cheap. I wasn't trying to be cheap, just didn't think about it and grabbed what I always buy.
WDYT - does it seem cheap to have the store brand/generic soda at a party? Should I return it (we don't drink all the kinds) and get the name brand?

All of that. I keep sharpies by the cups so people can keep tabs better. I don't like the taste of store brand so I would probably skip (or occasionally I've called somebody who hadn't shown up yet to swing by the store and get me some diet coke and drink it on the sly).
yes, name brands, 2 liters and sharpies by the cups
Me too.
Same Hav. I find we never drink all of a 2 liter and it goes flat before it's gone. I'd rather have cans for months afterwards.
OP, it would never occur to me to buy name brand, but I wouldn't second guess anyone who did. We rarely drink soda, so I wouldn't even care if a party only served water.
Oh... separate coolers for sure! Most of ours are probably more beer than soda too though.
Only name brand and only cans for parties... In my mind that's what people like!
That's funny. I find anything in a can (beer, soda, juice, iced tea, whatever) has a really weird taste to it. I prefer a glass bottle, then a plastic bottle.
I wouldn't judge non-name brand soda, but I wouldn't drink it either. The only soda I drink is Diet Coke, but if it wasn't available I would just have water.
I also use cans for parties, two liters are a PITA. Red solo cups are for kegs
