DOES ANYONE REMEMBER “FRUIT BOWL”? I THINK IT WAS MY FAVORITE IN THE 50′S.
MY HUSBAND WORKED FOR LA COKE IN THE 70′S AND THEY INTRODUCED SIMBA WHICH DID NOT GO OVER – USED A LION IN THEIR SALES CAMPAIGN AND THE LION DIED SOON AFTER SIMBA WAS INTRODUCED. ALSO I REALLY LIKED “FRUIT BOWL” AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT COME BACK.

It would be nice if they brought back original Coke instead of the so-called Coke Classic pee that they sell today. That’s not CLASSIC Coke! I’m telling you, Coke did Coke 2 on purpose in order to pull Coke off the market for a short tinme, then re-introduce it as Coke Classic, but with the cheaper corn syrup as its sweetening base.

If you like the original Coke, look for the two liter bottle with the yellow cap. It’s not labeled any differently but they make it during the passover season. Some people call it Kosher Coke, but it is made with SUGAR!

You never mentioned what happened to Rondo. I actually loved that soda and drank it exclusively for several years. As for Coca Cola Blak, I loved that too. Too bad these long lost faves can’t still be found somewhere, on a limited run basis. Damn those big corporations!!!

[...] DID find evidence that the Super Mario Bros soda that I drank as a kid actually existed. It was in this article which was how I found out that they don’t make Slice anymore, and that Vault is just a [...]

Actually quite of the few sodas that are mentioned in the comments are still available. Just hard to find them in certain markets. Either way this is making me thirsty for a soda…Anyway great article…

Anyone remember that good old can of soda called…..” Can Of Worms ” I loved it back in the day! It was like dr. pepper or mr. pib. The last time I got a can from a soda machine was around 1978 – 1980 in Middleton Wisconsin. Well we still have Big Red soda! ya…..

I loved New Coke!!!!! I stopped drinking Coke when they stopped New Coke. I also enjoyed Slice. I think I would like the Strawberry versions of Slice and Pepsi. I also loved Clear Pepsi but didn’t like Crystal Pepsi.

[...] may have only had a two year shelf-life, but the cool packaging for OK Soda lives on. Yup, this was about as close as the 90s ever got to true style, unless you count Patrick [...]

Aspen, a slice of crisp green apple in every swallow… Made by Pepsi, and without equal in the non-cola category. Maybe gone forever, but still a major feel-good memory!

The small Coke bottles were sold at Wal*Mart during the 2008 Christmas Season (I work there) and was supposed to act like a tree decoration (who doesn’t want Coke hanging on thier Christmas tree?) I remember Tab slightly, but my mom hated it so we didn’t get it!
I love Mountain Dew, but can’t stand some of thier variations. Code Red was good, but Lime Wire was bad but even worse, Pitch Black! Pitch Black was like drinking sour grapes fused with mineral water or something awful.
Does anyone remember Dr. Pepper coming in a blue can? When i was a kid (around 1985 or so) i remember seeing a blue Dr. Pepper machine; I think it was sugar free or caffine free.

UPPER 10 is the best lemon lime soda in the world. It is only “fallen” in the United States and North America because of whatever agreement was made when 7up/Dr. Pepper bought RC; there is an RC International which still makes/sells UPPER 10 in other countries. Requests to parent Cadbury Schweppes for return of UPPER 10 have fallen on death ears. Have not been able to find way to have any shipped from another country either.

Don’t buy into the “lack of demand” or “duplication of resources” excuse for not selling UPPER 10 in US. From all you responders, the demand would appear to be there. As for duplication, this is the same company that owns Crush, Sunkist, Welch, both major brands of Ginger Ale and Root Beer, so it’s not like they don’t have precedence for having two major brands of the same type of soda.
