When I first moved to Hawai'i, I quickly came to hate Hawaiian Punch. Not for any reason having to do with its taste (though I do find it too horribly sweet) but because root beer is my preferred drink and back then every Coca Cola soda fountain had Hawaiian punch in the slot that on the mainland always went to a non-affiliated root beer.
Of course, this was about the same time that Coca Cola bought Barq's and integrated it into their lineup, forcing Hawaiian Punch out. Sadly, Barq's is just about the worst root beer in existence and has caffeine with removes one of the benefits of being a root beer drinker. So the hatred just shifted.
