New Article? Yes! About old soda!

There was a time, many, many years ago, when I wrote these things called "articles." I was feeling nostalgic, so I decided, what the hey? Let's use, a lot of commas, and see if it still feels, okay, to write articles.

Today's feature chooses "eleven" as its arbitrary token number and examines "eleven" different soft drinks that are no longer with us, running the gamut from Surge to Strawberry Burst Pepsi and beyond. It's my way of getting a return on the many thousands spent to amass a ridiculous collection of old, sealed soda cans.

I hope you find the article to your liking, because I gave up watching Wolf Creek to write it, and I really wanted to see that "head on a stick" part.

Surge’s exact equivalent is sold in Norway, the original test country, under the name Urge and is still immensely popular:)

I thought Pepsi Blue was wonderful; it tasted like liquid Jell-o! Oh well. I’ve since found a new favorite in Mountain Dew Voltage

There was only one thing I miss about Pepsi Blue. When I was younger, my friend had a birthday party and we had a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi Blue and Orange Crush. We decided to mix them, and the end result was a beverage that tasted like Wonka Nerds. It was the most glorious thing I have ever drank. I only had it that one time, and now I kinda want them to bring it back so I could have that drink again.

Easily one of the best articles on this site.

Orbitz freaked me out. It reminds me of bubble tea. Bubble tea is an asian drink with tapioca pearls.

I remember Pepsi Fire and Pepsi Ice, they were sold here in the Philippines years ago with the same exact bottle packaging.

Love your site Matt! I’ve been a fan for a few years now.

Recently I bought about 12 perfect condition soda cans from the 80′s. Mostly Pepsi stuff, the woman I bought them from collected them because they had a different Disney character on each one. Also in that collection was the black and orange Minute Maid orange soda can.

I have those Pepsi Razzberry, etc cans still to this day. The only area I ever saw them in was Southern Ohio. They also got Cherry Coke waaaay before anyone else did. Must be a test market area.

If you ever get in the Athens, Ohio area, be sure to grab some Ski soda or Double Cola. Ski is my favorite of all time. They are a local brand and you don’t find them everywhere.

I assume you’ve never been to “World of Coke”? It’s not unusual for big name soda pop companies to market more “regional” flavors around the world. They’re not “limited edition” often… they’re just different. Of course, Fanta is where Coca-Cola got away with still selling to the Nazis…
