Guest MormonGator Posted August 8, 2016 Report Posted August 8, 2016 I hated that stuff back in the 90's, but I do miss OK Soda. Anyone remember that? Does anyone else look back fondly on food/drinks/candy that have been canceled? Back in 2002 there was a gum that whitened teeth and made your mouth feel like you just brushed your teeth as well. Aquafresh made it. I miss that so much too! Quote
zil Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Eons ago, Hi-C (yes, Hi-C! Leave me alone!) made a drink called "Ecto Cooler". It was the shade of green you'd expect from something named "Ecto" and I loved it. It's good they don't make it anymore - I don't need more sugar. When I lived in Moscow, I discovered (because the only other options were Pepsi and Russian "mineral water") Orange Fanta - it's fabulous - but only overseas. The junk in America is too sweet and syrupy and has no orange juice in it. I've been to 19 countries (including one in Africa) and with the exceptions of Canada (I assume, never looked) and the US, all of them had real Orange Fanta with orange juice in it. (Once again, blessing in disguise - though there's a store across town that imports it from Austria and every now and then I go over there and pay obscene prices for some...) PS: Don't drink Sprite made in France (ick!). Quote

Guest Godless Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I don't remember Crystal Pepsi, but I remember the liquid trainwreck that was Pepsi Blue. I really miss Sobe (and the OG glass bottles with metal caps). I think it's still technically around, but it's pretty hard to find and the variety of flavors isn't there anymore.

When did Sobe get unpopular? MAN!! I took the time to find out just which ones did not have tea in them. They were good. I also miss Cactus Cooler. Does anyone remember that? It was sort of an orange-pineapple soda. Good times... Quote
Jedi_Nephite Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 I miss how the original 7UP used to taste, before they changed the formula. Originally, it had a dry, crisp taste that was unique from other carbonated beverages. Then, in the early-to-mid nineties they decided to make it a lemon lime flavor in order to compete with Sprite. At that point, I stopped drinking 7UP. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Anyone remember Orbitz the soft drink? Quote
unixknight Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 I don't remember Orbitz, but I do remember Tab. Is that still a thing? What about Sunkist orange soda? Quote

Guest Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 I miss Tart n' Tiny candy. And Clearly Canadian in the glass bottles. Did Pepsi Clear have a cola flavor? I don't think I ever tried it. Quote

unixknight Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Kind of. My wife bought one of the new ones and it tasted to me like slightly watered down Pepsi... but if I recall correctly there was a citrus aftertaste from the old one. Quote

I'm a bit too young to really remember New Coke, but I wonder what that tasted like too. Quote
unixknight Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 It was sugary sweet... Way too sweet. Sweeter than Pepsi, if you can imagine that. Quote
Guest Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Sounds like someone screwed up a big batch and they had to do a quick re-brand. LOL Quote

LOL That's certainly possible. It wasn't long before people were clamoring for the old formula back, which was quickly re-introduced as Coca-Cola Classic. Eventually when New Coke went away they dropped "classic" and it was back as it was. Quote
