You guys don't get vanilla coke? I'm sure we get that in the UK and we don't get any of the good drinks!

Upside-down 7up, without a doubt. I loved that stuff. It tasted much better than regular 7up, and it had the caffiene. Mmmm...


The fact that no one else here seems to lament its demise probably explains why they quit making it. ;_;

A couple of people in this thread have mentioned dnL.

dnL was one of the worst inventions by a soft drink manufacturer.

Does anyone else miss Pepsi Holiday Spice? My ex got me hooked on it during the 2004 holidays, and I was disappointed they never brought it back.

There is something similar to Pepsi Holiday Spice in Japan, called Pepsi Red. It's a red looking Pepsi, with an extremely strong ginger/cinnamon flavor.

While I was there over there this last summer on my honeymoon, I told my wife I would try every single pop/soft drink that we found in the vending machines and convenience stores. Pepsi Red was the absolute worst one, I wanted to throw up.

pepsi edge was awesome! why the hell did they get rid of it? it truly did taste like regular pepsi.

I don't know what bizarro world these people live in, because Cherry Coke and Pepsi are both readily available in the US.

That is what I was thinking. Half these sodas still exist.

Props to those who mentioned Orbitz and Josta!

Oh, Vanilla Coke... how I miss thee :'(

Now that I'm pretty diet soda-only, I never even got to try Vanilla Diet Coke.

 

[Ronabo]

Do they still make Gatorade gum?

No. But there is a new flavor of Orbit gum that tastes almost exactly like it.

Lemon-Lime

I imagine its still available, but I havent seen Tahitian Treat (universally referred to as "Treat") in a while.

 

[Xzior]

Fanta Lemon... tasted so good, but they just had to stop making it...

Back when I was in 7th grade (For some reason, I can't figure out whether that was 92-93 or 93-94, since I kno wmy 3rd grade yearbook says "1989" on it, yet I graduated in 1998 having skipped a grade, but I digress) I remember Spalding made a clear (All flavors) Gatorade-like drink that I loved. I don't remember it being around too long.

I don't see this soda in stores much anymore, but it was one of my faves as a kid:

Dammit Id kill for some tahitian treat...

That was a mighty fine cola. It tasted kinda like a chocolate coke. Quite tasty, alas gone.

It was doomed because it only had HALF the calories. That's like a pussy middleground. You either go diet for 0 (or one for 1) or go for the full HFCS.

I guess I need to stock up on Vanilla Coke, because we have alot of it over at my supermarket.

I don't get alot of you. OK soda? Orbitz? Pepsi blue? Tahitian Treat? (even though I think you can still find TT in some places) Those drinks SUCKED. REALLY sucked.

OK soda tasted like orange crush and a&w root beer mixed together. UGH.

Orbitz? that is the only soda that I actually GAGGED from. It was a dare drink - and I would NEVER EVER drink that stuff again...
...but I'd keep a bottle around because it looked cool...

Pepsi Blue tasted like Mountain Dew and Pepsi that got stale.

Tahitian Treat was maybe THE most sugary drink that I've ever had. I was GUARANTEED a sugar rush from drinking a can, and you could literally feel the sugar granules on your back teeth as you drank it from time to time. I think it had like 44grams of sugar per can...

OH! By the way, orbitz I guess is pretty popular on eBay...

Link, your post about the Gatorade-like drink reminded me of a long lost flavour of Powerade that I loved and forgot about until now! The flavour was called Glacial Shatter and it was the best tasting thing ever, I haven't seen it in a very very long time..
