I think it's about time you guys tried IRN BRU!

Brewed in Scotland, from girders, allegedly.

It's our most asked for soft drink that we dont sell as we sell Coke, and you can only get Irn Bru if you have Pepsi dispensers. Until very recently Scotland was the only country in the world where Coke was the number two best selling soft drink - Irn Bru being number one!

I was not aware that coke even came out with a vanilla coke yet. Then again I havent seen it around here either.

Anyone remember remember new Coke?

James jolt cola is not easily found round here either. Have you tried maybe to have a caffeine I.V. hooked into your veins? Maybe that would sooth your nerves.

I like vanilla coke. I always get it whenever I'm at Christiana Mall and happen to be passing by Johnny Rocket's.

<<Does anyone remember the hilarious "Crystal Gravy" commercial that ran on Saturday Night Live several years ago?>>

YES! I saw a re-run on Comedy Central a few weeks ago. If I am not mistaken, Phil Hartman was the one blissfully enjoying the clear goop. Ironically, it was the same day that The Daily Show did a spoof on Vanilla Coke. (they "revealed the secret formula" by pouring vanilla extract into regular coke.)

I just noticed this today:

On our Dr. Pepper boxes, there is a recipe for "Hot Dr. Pepper".
Mix one part Dr. Pepper syrup with 5 parts boiling water in a standard coffee cup. Add a thin slice of lemon.

...do yourself a favor, and don't try it! My stomache has been reeling all day! Why would they print this on their label?!

Does Anyone remember:

"Pepsi Cola hits the spot!
Twelve full ounces, that's a lot.
Twice as much for a nickel, too,
You'll know Pepsi is the drink for you!"

OR:

"Do the Hadacol boogie,
It's the bestest one in town!"

Pepsi Blue sounds good, I'll be there! Vanilla Coke is OK; Cherry Coke (or Pepsi) is my drink of choice, but I've always thought they could do a LOT better with the cherry flavor- it's always seemed like there's just been a hint of it in there.
My favorite failed soft drink was 7-Up Gold, which had the 2 things regular 7-up "Never had, never will"- caffeine and artificial color, it was most comparable to Dr. Pepper and didn't resemble 7-up in the least.

Vanilla Coke is being rolled out a market at a time. It was about a month or 5 weeks ago that I saw it being premiered on the "Today" show, but it only hit the Philly Market about 2 weeks ago.

I picked up a bottle on my way to my folks house and on trying it thought that the aftertaste reminded me of Kaopectate, which I don't think I have had in nearly 20 years. My father pointed out that Kao was vanilla flavored, which was beyond my remembering.

I finished the bottle only the next day and still didn't think I liked it but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought, I guess my expectations were too high.

PEPSI BLUE tastes like crap.
They probably used the ass part of the berry to make it.

Does anybody here remember Royal Crown Cola?

RC had a cola with a 'twist' of lemon back around 1969-1970, I think. It bombed, too.

I rather liked the RC Draft that came out around 1998 or so... Good rich taste

I have an old LP of 7-up radio jingles from around 1960. Fun stuff!

Nothing but the best for me, thanks. I prefer real Coca-Cola--from Canada, where they still use real sugar (not that high-fructose corn syrup junk that pollutes American Coke).

Like it or not, judging from all the damn bottles we've found in the auditorium lately, I'd say Pepsi Blue is here to stay.

I hated Vanilla Coke, but my two boys (10 and 12) love it.

Hmmm... I haven't seeen Pepsi Blue here yet, but I probably won't try it when it arrives. These soda companies need to stop "re-making" their drinks with these "director's cuts"

Hot Dr. Pepper sounds like something that would be good to use to induce vomiting should you swallow somehting toxic.

Maybe they should just come out with "Digital Coke" That way, it will be perfect.

I hated Vanilla Coke, Pepsi Blue is decent. I live on Mt. Dew.

Anyone ever have Cheerwine? Now there's some good stuff.
