Vault, baby.

It was the summer of 07. It was hot. I guzzled this shit by the can and tried to sleep but heat kept me awake. It was like...9 in the morning and I had a cooler on and it did nothing. I lay in bed with the sun cracking through the blinds on my face.

I remember this because the AWFUL aftertaste of this FILTH is etched into my brain. Such horror. Fuck Vault.

 

[CTE]

This was my go to back in High School. I know the bottle is empty, but the soda itself was clear, too. I was wary at first, but the flavor is unrivaled to this day.

 

[Enron]

This stuff:

We used to drink so much when I was a kid. That and Cragmont which was a Safeway brand.

Oh man I forgot all about New York Seltzer. The best part was peeling off that foam label from the bottles

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Hard to find even when I could, but I haven't been able to find this for a few years. Shit it was good.

We sell this at work. It's pretty good, but I'm not a huge fan of root beer.

 

[Struct09]

Jolt Ultra. I really miss it

 

[G-Bus]

Orbitz

For whatever reason i remember walking 30 minutes to the store with some friends when this first came out. I was pretty young so it was a big deal to be going that far from home.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

This thread just reminds me of how much I hate opening up a flat soda when I was so looking forward to a nice crisp fizzy beverage.

It's ruined the enjoyment of some of my favorites. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I had a not-flat soda out of a plastic bottle other than coke. Cans always have the best track record.

This! Totally forgot about this brand. My dad used to buy these all the time when I was a kid.

 

[Sobriquet]

I never had Crystal Pepsi but didn't it taste exactly like Pepsi? Was the novelty of being clear really that great?

It didn't. It was good though.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Where that hell is this?

MY MAN, the only good Pepsi

Hard to find even when I could, but I haven't been able to find this for a few years. Shit it was good.

And I'm pretty sure they sell this at Whole Foods, sooo good

 

[Japanmanx3]

Shouts out to Vault and Fruitopia but its a crime to not have Sprite Remix mentioned at all of first page. Come on GAF.

 

[sir_kevith]

Being somewhat drunk at halftime of this game, decided to investigate further. Looks like that wiki page was only edited to add that today (shenanigans!) and the son of the father/son team is now a stuntman/animal trainer for films and his cousin was killed by the bear from Semi-Pro? Also, wtf:

http://youtu.be/5ytBtS8Zdqo

Solid halftime.

Haha going by that video it seems like running a business in the 80s made no sense at all. What a weird company. I still hope it comes back though.

 

[D-Pad]

Posted, yes, but I have to post this in every one of these type of threads. Oh how I miss it.

I miss it too

Also miss the holiday spice one.

 

[Elija2]

I need to stop coming into these "Awesome junk foods that no longer exist" threads. It makes me sad when stuff like this is gone forever.

 

[kingwingin]

Was ahead of its time, the world just wasn't ready...

 

[Schlep]

Came to post this. RIP.

Holding out hope that, by some miracle, Dr. Pepper makes it available for the Keurig Cold.

 

[bGanci]

Can still find this in Ohio.



This comes out every fall with a different game sponsor(was COD:AW this year).

Yup me to

 

[dallow_bg]

You can buy it by the case if you want it back
https://clearlycanadian.com/

Oh wow. I'll take 2.

 

[Raife]

OK soda. WI remember it tasting like cola, root and orange crush all mixed together.

This was the most 90s thing I remember about my childhood.

 

[LocknessMobster]

This was the best one

 

[Easy_D]

While I know that it is available elsewhere in the world. It is long gone locally. By far my favorite soft drink.

Oh my god. That was my favourite Fanta, second only to Fanta Exotic.

 

[Kenai]

I guess this technically doesn't count as soda/pop, but i miss it dearly.

Nectar of the gods.

 

[Nothing1016]

dnL was amazing. Gonna look for the image but this drink consumed me whe I was a kid.

 

[cajunator]

We had this drink in Louisiana called Pop Rouge and it had a flavor like strawberry and cream soda and my family used to make homemade ice cream with it. It was amazing stuff. a local company called Swamp Pop even brought it back as Pontchatoula Pop Rouge flavor.

 

[MrNelson]

For me it has to be

I know its still regional but it hasn't been in Alabama(my area at least) for a few years now.
Was actually up there with Surge as my favorite soda.

There's a Wawa (gas station with awesome hoagies) by my uni that has it, and seems to be the only place around that does. I always try to grab a bottle when I fill up.

Now this shit here was great. I didn't care that it looked irradiated, it was superior to the regular game fuel flavor. I was so disappointed when it didn't come back the last two years.

 

[AcridMeat]

Shit was so expensive but damn it was good.

Wow that is a rush of nostalgia. Totally forgot about this, haha wow. I remember it fondly too.

 

[DiscoJon]

Really liked this stuff when it was available.

 

[Khaos_Knight]

Why!

YES!!! This was my favorite drink when I was in middle school then it just disappeared by the time I started my junior year of high school.

 

[zerotol]

OK soda. WI remember it tasting like cola, root and orange crush all mixed together.

Did you ever call the phone number that was on cans of OK Soda? Totally bizarre.

 

[Dominator]

Really liked this stuff when it was available.

I get that its 7up upside down but what was the flavor? How did it differentiate from 7up? Never heard of it lol

 

[perfectchaos007]

I get that its 7up upside down but what was the flavor? How did it differentiate from 7up? Never heard of it lol

I believe it was similar to Sprite remix. More fruity

 

[adamsappel]

Coke Blak and Royal Crown Draft.

 

[morningbus]

The marketing suggested that 7up is a lemon-lime soda and dnL is a lime-lemon soda.

Yeah.

Nectar of the gods.

That shit was SOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

 

[Stinkles]

not a vanished soda, but a tip for UK expats:

Canada Dry's Cranberry Ginger Ale actually tastes precisely like (Barr's) Red Kola.

Most delicious discovery I ever made.

 

[thelatestmodel]

The GOAT, Red Bull Cola. No, it's not Red Bull mixed with cola, it's just artisan cola, made by the Red Bull company, with all natural ingredients.

The flavour profile was beyond anything that Coca-Cola or Pepsi can come up with, it was truly sublime. Like tasting champagne after having nothing but cheap sparkling white wine all your life.

 

[Azzurri]

Shit was so expensive but damn it was good.

Oh shit!

I remember drinking these all the time as a kid. My dad use to buy cases of this stuff all the time.

Yeah this was actually good! They really should've made the can look less like a regular can of redbull because I think people expected an energy drink taste.

Original Coke sweetened with cane sugar will always be the best Cola to me but I did enjoy the Redbull Cola as well.

 

[NervousXtian]

Where that hell is this?

Just buy these and make it yourself.. the packets are super small so easy to take anywhere. I mainly use it for water, as I like lemon.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004RZ63KK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Also, NY Seltzer.. drank the shit out of that as a kid.. that and these (though you can find them sometimes still in random ass corner markets):

 

[Fuchsdh]

I guess Vanilla Coke and Surge aren't gone anymore, but they're hard to find and unless it's staring me in the face I have too much self-control to order pallets of it through the internet.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Crispy M&M's and Pepsi Blue are the two things I wanted back in the USA. One down, one to go

Wait, what? Its coming back? The gods have smiled on me.

Really? I don't know about Surge, but I see Vanilla Coke all over the place in DFW.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I still miss this, I can't be the only one.

came here to post this and Red Fusion.

so damn good.

 

[Sobriquet]

OK soda. WI remember it tasting like cola, root and orange crush all mixed together.

I was trying to remember the name of that stuff. It was pretty good.

 

[LaNaranja]

Bubble Up was great. I am sure it is still around somewhere but I haven't seen one in at least five years.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Don't remember if I tried this.

 

[Zing]

This was the real deal. I'm not taking about the weird lemon-lime stuff they turned it into later, but the original flavour.

Shouts out to Clearly Canadian and Jolt Cola.

 

[tekumseh]

I still miss this, I can't be the only one.

I thought this was pretty great as well...

 

[HappyBivouac]

Nectar of the gods.

God yes. Please bring it back!

 

[Lionheart1827]

I miss the "7up yours!" commercials. Used to crack me the fuck up.

My favorite that is no longer made is the Black Cherry Vanilla Coke and the Berries N cream Dr Pepper.
