who doesn't love pairing an ice-cold
soda with a fantastic meal
soda is excellent by itself or it's the
perfect accompaniment for everything
from fast food to fine dining here we're
going to talk about the top 10 bed rige
sales that are still rocking the soda
industry to this day wolf Cola
that's a bogus soda distributor I need
hubba bubba original bubble gum soda now
I have seen everything really have a
bubble bubble gum in a soda but why well
why not no childhood is complete without
bubble gum think back to all the times
you snuck gum into your school even when
it wasn't allowed sure that stuff tastes
good but everyone loves to live life on
the edge
otherwise you're just an inert chunk of
randomly assembled molecules drifting
wherever the universe blows you it might
not seem so risky now but it was a big
time thrill to do something you knew was
against the rules if you're a chewing
gum lover from way back when then you
must have been so excited to see hubba
bubba original bubble gum soda you
probably didn't get a single or even a
two-liter bottle of the bubble gum
flavored soda pop know someone like
yourself goes straight for the 12-pack
who knew that bubble gum flavored soda
would be so weird the flavor is great
when you're chewing but maybe not so
great when you're guzzling it down and a
bubbly beverage Citra can you lose the
grape fruit goggles where's where's my
eyes grapefruit you either love it or
hate it
no one ever seems to be on the fence
when it comes to grape fruit that's why
it's surprising that Coca Cola would
come up with a brand of soda that tastes
like grapefruit the flavor was spot-on
when it came to delivering a healthy
dose of grapefruit maybe that's why the
soda didn't catch on with the masses it
takes a unique palette to be able to
tolerate and enjoy anything that tastes
like grapefruit however the people who
can seem to tolerate such a flavor don't
seem to want it in the form of a sugary
drink none of that comes as a surprise
since the people
who eat the most grape fruit are
hardcore dieters those who loved Citra
didn't have to cry a river of tears when
it was discontinued it was rebranded as
Fanta citrus and is still enjoyed by
people to this day if you enjoy sweet
and bitter tasting drinks then go get
yourself a two-liter bottle of Fanta
citrus no one but you will be able to
enjoy the taste of grapefruit enough to
drink anything more than a sip or two
Michelob Ultra Tuscan orange grapefruit
Dr Pepper
red fusion it looks like diet dr. pepper
it's not that bad dr. pepper holds a
special place in the hearts of soda
lovers no one can ever accurately
describe what dr. pepper tastes like it
is neither root beer nor Cola nobody is
sure what flavour it is and nobody can
be sure if you consider yourself a lover
of dr. pepper then you're used to all of
the stairs when a stranger looks into
your refrigerator it's odd because at
the end of the day the taste of Dr
Pepper isn't out of the ordinary at all
it tastes like a sweet bubbly soda pop
that's great by itself or with food why
did dr. pepper red fusion fail was it
because it had a strong cherry backbone
along with other fruit flavors no one
knows for sure why it failed it could
have something to do with who regular Dr
Pepper drinkers are the flavor of Dr
Pepper red fusion may have been too far
out there for the average Dr Pepper fan
Dr Pepper itself has the reputation of
an oddity and that also probably didn't
help it at all Dr Pepper red fusion
lasted less than a year and it's one of
those drinks that many of you probably
didn't get to try even once which is
probably for the best slice I hope you
haven't eaten yet starving wanna grab a
slice slice is a surprising failure on
this list since it was hugely successful
at one point Pepsi needed something to
go up against the highly successful
sprite and slice was their choice slice
in some ways was ahead of the game since
there was more than only the lemon-lime
variety there were also other fruit
flavors of slice that customers seemed
to like mandarin orange was one flavor
that stood out since it
bold flavor that tasted similar to
Minute Maid soda it may surprise some to
know that slice was even served up at
Taco Bell back in the 90s those days
seemed like they were many moons ago to
those who loved slice some Walmart
shoppers might be thinking that they've
seen slice on the shelf lately Walmart
does indeed have a soda called slice on
the shelf but it's not the same stuff
the brand slice has been licensed out
and is now used by another company any
slice products you find at your local
Walmart or other stores have nothing in
common with the original slice that
people drank in the past other than the
name same same but different
Crystal Pepsi invisible Cola lovers of
Cola are a breed all of their own if you
have Cola flowing in your veins instead
of blood then you know how true these
words are please
what pepsi did with their Cola was
something that made people scratch their
heads
how can a Cola be clear isn't that like
offering up a meatless slim jim it seems
far-fetched to people today but back
then it was thought of as revolutionary
a crystal clear soda had the appeal to
those who didn't want any artificial
dyes or caffeine yes
Crystal Pepsi had no caffeine in it
Crystal Pepsi had a loyal following who
felt devastated when it was discontinued
fast-forward to over a decade later and
it was brought back by popular demand
we're finally ready to relaunch Crystal
Pepsi Crystal Pepsi wasn't to become a
permanent item on supermarket shelves
but this gave hope to enthusiasts that
it might come back yet again it wouldn't
be all too surprising if Pepsi decided
to bring back Crystal Pepsi a third time
who knows it might be a limited run
thing that people rush out for all of
that sounds pretty silly until you
realize that's pretty much how the McRib
rolls no one knows what McDonald's is
going to unleash the McRib on to the
public but you can rest assured that it
will be back maybe the same will hold
true with Crystal Pepsi we never shut
Tad's clear mic I offer you a drink
tab not now ladies robot coca-cola
couldn't sit idle while Pepsi made out
like a bandit with its Crystal Pepsi the
decision was made to compete head-on
with a clear drink and coca-cola would
do so under the tab brand as to why they
didn't produce a clear version of their
famous coke brand is anyone's guess
maybe they understood that the clear
soda phase was just that and it wouldn't
last for long
that doesn't seem like it would stop
them as there have been several types of
coke to come out that didn't last for
long tab clear was born out of necessity
as a means to compete against Pepsi and
a market they felt the brand was lacking
in tab clear didn't last long and it had
one specific difference to Crystal Pepsi
and that is that it had caffeine
customers who wanted the pick-me-up of
caffeine in a soda were sadly
disappointed in Crystal Pepsi those same
customers could give tab clear a try to
see if it had the boost they were
looking for the writing was on the wall
for tab clear long before it hits
shelves fads like these rarely last long
and they fizzle out fast
the product was a winner but the concept
was anything but or was it some say
coca-cola released tab clear with the
full intention of having it fail and in
the process take down Crystal Pepsi with
it this sounds like the cola war in
action say goodbye to the cola wars the
victor Eastern Airlines Cola Jolt Cola
Cola the soft drink of the elite who are
these guys Jolt Cola has always had a
cult following does Jolt Cola taste as
good as Coke or Pepsi well the answer to
that question depends on who you ask
some will say that they didn't drink
jolt because of the flavor so why did
they drink Jolt Cola it was because of
the jolt of caffeine they received from
the cola you see Jolt Cola has twice the
caffeine of other sodas that means it
packs the type of punch for those who
need that late-night pick-me-up the cult
following Jolt Cola built up came during
a time when energy drinks didn't exist
what did you do if you wanted to stay up
late to cram for a college exam
you downed pot after pot of coffee or
sucked down a few jolt colas it's still
possible to find Jolt Cola on the shelf
in some areas out west the company
behind Jolt Cola isn't what it used to
be they've been through some hardships
and time will only tell if they will
bounce back now someone give me a job
Karla it does not exist anymore every
jolt Cola fan hopes that they will be
able to go to their favorite gas station
or grocery store and buy a 12-pack of
this liquid energy booster no one knows
for sure what will happen since the
market is already full of drinks that
give out crazy doses of energy if Jolt
Cola wants to survive it may have to
rebrand itself while trying to appeal to
a new younger audience they want 7up
gold
make it quick flu Cup I'm turning
everything in my house gold for years
upon years 7up has told us they are the
unco 'la wait well what they are the
brand of soda that is simple and
caffeine free all of that was thrown out
the window with the introduction of 7up
gold anyone who was around to sample
this stuff had to be somewhat
dumbfounded by it sure 7up gold had a
fantastic flavor the flavor of 7up gold
was created by the good folks over at
dr. pepper it shouldn't come as a
surprise to anyone that the people
behind dr. pepper would come up with a
taste
no one could pinpoint it wasn't that the
taste was terrible it's just that no one
could describe what it tasted like 7up
gold was far too odd than what the
average 7up drinker was into the flavor
was kind of like cinnamon and the color
was reddish it wasn't the clear fizzy
liquid that many 7up drinkers loved so
much the product itself was far too
strange and that might be why it failed
would seven of gold have worked if it
was rebranded under a different name
completely it's quite possible that the
public would have been more receptive of
7up gold if it wasn't such a different
product from what they were used to
we'll never know since 7up gold was
pulled off the shelf and was never
reintroduce under any other name let's
never speak of it again
coke how do you even drink that because
it's delicious new coke has been called
one of the biggest marketing failures of
all time
who knew that changing the formula and
flavor of a beloved product would have
such an impact anyone would have known
that if they didn't have their head in
the sand in the 1980's coke was losing
ground to Pepsi and they wanted to
regain their brand within the public
coca-cola was in crisis mode since
people felt that the brand was for older
people Pepsi was the choice of the new
generation and the various ad campaigns
demonstrated this however that didn't
mean people wanted something different
than the original coca-cola they knew
and loved it wasn't more than a day or
two after the release of new coke that
coca-cola knew they had a disaster on
their hands the problem was customers
didn't have a choice between new and old
coke they were stuck with the new coke
and that is when the outrage began when
everyone hates it will bring back slim
classic and make billions it wasn't long
until coca-cola classic hits the shelves
and the public once again had their
favorite Cola back some think it might
have been a marketing stunt by coke just
to get people talking and drinking their
Cola again most discount this theory
given how coca-cola responded to the
backlash in a way that genuinely proved
their surprise new coke may have been a
flop but it proved once and for all that
coca-cola has a special place in the
hearts of its loyal drinkers
you mess with coke and you've got
serious problems on your hands justa
Josten better dude good stuff now joste
was an energy drink before such a thing
existed
who knew that people needed something
other than coffee to give them a boost
if you were alive back in the 90s
you probably remember joste the flavor
of joste was unique and so was the
gharana in the drink Pepsi had the frame
of mind to introduce everyone to the
world of energy drinks they just didn't
have the right balance of substance and
flavor to pull it off joste was only on
the shelves for a handful of years it
be long until it was an afterthought now
people don't have to reminisce about
days gone by when they could get liquid
energy and a bottle every convenience
store today is stocked to the gills with
energy drinks you can guzzle down your
energy of choice in the form of a little
shot or a sugary sweet cold beverage
joste was the first energy drink brought
to the masses and like with many first
loves it's hard to get over it don't
have a nervous breakdown thinking about
how you'll never savor the flavor of
this drink packed with energy instead
there are plenty of ways to get that
jolt of energy from one of the many
other drinks capable of making your
heart race
