Ugh no the two liter bottles scream 1986 potluck.
The reason I said 2-liter bottles is because very few people in my circle drink soda. People wouldn’t want leftover cans. Because I would have lemonade and ice water, cups would be needed anyway. I’d ask the host if they already had cups and if they didn’t, I’d bring them.
I'm with you. I attend a lot of social functions with family, mixed groups of friends and... noone drinks soda. I am 100% behind 2 liter bottles. I still have Pepsi cans sitting in my fridge from Thanksgiving that I am hot to get rid of.
You bought Pepsi and are surprised nobody drank it?
LOL, exactly. Coke and Diet Coke would have had some takers.

La croix, Perrier or pelligrino in glass bottles, boxed water for young ones. Or scratch the boxed water and buy ice, make a pitcher of ice tsp water and add slices of orange

I guess I misunderstood the assignment. I assumed I was running an errand for the host ahead of the day of the party, not showing up to the party with the drinks. If the host needs me to supply ice and coolers and set everything up, they need to communicate that.

Coke, ginger ale, pellegrino, flavored sparkling water, fancy still water (any brand), and Honest juice boxes if you have little kids coming.

I'd get 12-packs of Coke, Sprite, and a couple flavors of sparkling water or Spindrift. Case of bottled water. Juice boxes of there are young kids.

For 35 people!?? I would give a serious side eye. They shouldn’t be hosting. I guess I’d get some mini bottles of water for the kids and sparkling water for the adults? As an adult, I wouldn’t want to be at a party with no alcohol.
