Ting is a soft drink, grapefruit-flavored, I think, that I drink on St. Kitts/Nevis (with CSR), "ting with a sting."
I'm pretty sure it's available on other islands, and in some US supermarkets.
The closest thing I've found here at home is Fresca.

Ting is not bottled by Pepsi. It's available on many islands, not just St. Kitts/Nevis. You'll find it in some specialty food stores in the US and in ethnic shops located in predominently West Indian communities of major cities. Look for the distinctive green bottle with the yellow lettering.

Doesn't it all depend which island?
On one of the French islands...the food!
Agree with the snorkeling/beach.
The people.
The music.
TPatricco: Never heard of Ting (but A_Traveller, Pepsi sure claims on its website that it bottles it).
Have you ever tried Cola Champagne? It's like a fizzy fruit soda. I think it's more from Latin America than the Caribbean, but wondering if it tastes like Ting..because I love Cola Champagne.

Caribtraveler - I'm not doubting you but I went to www.pepsi.com and couldn't find any mention of Ting there. In fact when I typed "Ting" in their search feature I got a "no match found" message. So obviously one of us is looking at a different web-site. Regardless it's a good drink.
The Ting I've gotten here in the US was bottled in Jamaica.

Statia:I just read about the green flash in a travel book on Hawaii!! I guess it happens in the caribbean also!
I have seen Ting before. I just can't remember where.
Must haves in the caribbean: A wahoo was a frozen drink that I had in the Bahamas...very tasty. My husband would say a ginger beer he had in Bermuda!
I would say a warm breeze on a sunny day overlooking beautiful blue green water thinking that I have nothing better to do, but enjoy my day!!

In Jamaican patois, 'h' is not voiced.
Ting is thing. Look for it, preferably in glass bottles, in the GOYA section of many U.S. supermarkets, along with Ginger Beer/the Goya/Hispanic kind, not the same 'ting' as ginger beer, the REAL spicy, North Carolina-style, found on island.

Sunrise and sunset on any of the islands.
Spectacular view from high atop the hill over looking Kingstown, St. Vincent
Carnival on any of the island
Shopping on Front Street St. Maarten
Shell Beach St.Barts
St. Jean Beach St. Barts
Le Select
The Carenage Grenada and one of Mandoo's tours
Batik factory
Lobster pizza washed down with icy cold Bitter Lemon at Mac's on Bequia
Turtle Sanctuary Bequia
Church at the top of the hill on Mayreau
View of Salt Whistle Bay as you descend from the church on Mayreau

There's more where these came from but will save for another day

many say the full moon party at bomba shack on tortolla.
for me personally:
sunset on the beach w/any libation.
snorkeling all day.
lying in bed and being able to hear the waves on the beach.
staying long enough to get used to island time.

Ting is made by D&G (Desnoes & Geddes) makers of Red Stripe in JA
Must do :
- Stingray City - Grand Cayman
- Bloody Bay Wall - Little Cayman (shallowest wall dive in the world)
- Carnival - Trinidad
- A cold Red Stripe and Jerk Pork at a roadside stand in JA
Just a few for starters
