First version of Tab had cyclamate sweetener. Banned in the U.S. they switched to aspartamine. Essentially all diet soda pop now uses saccharine or aspartamine, even overseas.
I remember grabbing a dusty and warm 6-pack of Jolt cola from some seedy liquor store when I was 13 (1993) and staying up all night playing SNES and Genesis with my friend Paul. Stuff was like liquid crack.
I loved Coca Cola Lime and got quickly addicted. Unfortunately it pushed my glucose levels over the edge and I was first diagnosed type 2 diabetes that same year (2005). Too much of a good thing can be trouble.
We have Pepsi vanilla in multiple establishments in my town so it's definitely not discontinued. Then again having it in a Mississippi small town doesn't mean much.
If you miss Pepsi Light from the seventies, you can make it at the self service fountain- four parts Pepsi, five parts diet Pepsi and one part lemonade.
I got to try Pepsi Blue when it re-emerged and I loved it. Pepsi Twist was so amazing, especially in the Diet form. I also loved Pepsi Vanilla and Coca-Cola Lime. One that came here to Canada that I absolutely loved was Pepsi Ginger.
Pepsi Lime and Coca-Cola Lime were treated badly. Both deserve to be brought back now. I would buy both of them right now. Also, Pepsi Twist deserves a comeback as well.
The soda industry anxiously awaits the development of new colors and innovative ways to misspell them so they can launch new, doomed, and inconsequential soda brands. Fresca Akwamareen is currently in development. Maybe.
I miss the original Pepsi-Cola. It was a light, sort of spicy cola. It left a clean, refreshed finish in the mouth. Never the heavy sweet finish of Cokes. Old timers called it Tonic and drank a bottle every day. Pepsi changed the formula in the 1960s and made it a poor Coca-Cola drink.
Merle Haggard's song "Rainbow Stew" has a line "we'll all be drinking that free Bubble Up". I vaguely think it was made by Coca Cola before they made Sprite but I'm not sure.
When I go to a Coke Freestyle, I almost always get Strawberry Dr. Pepper. It's great and I wish they marketed it in cans like Cherry Dr. Pepper. Does anyone remember Crystal Pepsi? It was awful.
Who comes up with these bizarre, disgusting flavors? Berries & cream -- coffee -- vanilla? Yecch. Didn't they test these flavors out on the public in advance, or were they determined to ram them down the public's throat? "there's a cult following" = "a couple of dozen people like it".
Jolt is the reason Cornholio from Beavis and Butthead exists. Probably one of the most iconic shows to feature Jolt Cola... and it didn't even get a mention. Edit for additional: Jolt was mentioned. Beavis & Butthead was not, nor was Cornholio.
That brand does have to be searched for. Same goes for Mr Pibb, though I did have one of those within the last year, from the gift shop at the hospital where I work.
7-UP Gold. Okay, yes, it took a couple to get it sorted out, but if you became a Gold fan, you truly mourn that weird shot of 7-up, maybe apple, maybe cinnmaon..and whatever it was, And ahhh, yes, Jolt, the cola that was the eye-opening, speed cola Breakfast back in the '80s day of every Ren Farie. (and we did)
I loved Lime Coke and the Pepsi with Jazz (caramel and strawberry flavors). The commercial went: You put the lime in the Coke you nut and then you feel better (parody of the Witch Doctor song)
I remember Jolt Cola from my college days. Also New Coke, which I thought was overly syrupy. Bleh. I loved Diet Coke with Lime. You all forgot the mind trip that was Crystal Pepsi. You should do a video on regional favorite sodas like Cheerwine and Ale8.
Rondo! I'm not willing to pay $4 per can to get Solo (the drink Rondo was based on) shipped over from the UK through Amazon but I do miss that very lightly carbonated lemon fizzy goodness. I was in High School when it was test marketed in the US for two years and I stopped drinking any other soda after I discovered it. You can bet if I ever visit Australia that I will consume Solo at every opportunity.
1980s kid here my Mom loved Tab and Pepsi free when it came out. I drank jolt cola and stayed up all night as a teen and actually liked Pepsi blue and Chrystal Pepsi. Maybe because I'm a die hard Coca-Cola fan the different flavors of Pepsi were better. I like Diet Pepsi better than diet coke. Diet Dr. Pepper is the best of diet sodas. I just can't stomach artificial sweeteners anymore especially Splenda
Jolt Cola has a very special place in my heart of hearts. For you see, it practically got me through college, so I am forever indebted to those who gave me my hopeless caffeine addiction. No, seriously, I kid, I kid! The truth is that I loved the stiff, because I never would have almost graduated without it!
We had it good back in the day. I remember Vault, Surge and Mountain Dew Pitch Black. I always thought Surge was just a rebranded Vault but they were both really good. It's too bad those days are gone though because even the best memories are lost over time.
Burger King did have Surge in their Coca Cola Freestyle machines. But my local Burger King removed their Coca Cola Freestyle machine for a standard soda fountain. I really liked Surge.
Which soda do you miss the most?
One not even on this list. Lol I miss Dr Pepper's Red Fusion. Like miss it bad. LOL
Surge and Jolt Cola.
NEW COKE
WINK soda i miss the most
Jolt Cola!
I tried reading several comments and only saw 1
Mention of Tab
I grew up drinking Tab. I loved it. It’s not in stores anymore. I loved it.
Same
First version of Tab had cyclamate sweetener. Banned in the U.S. they switched to aspartamine. Essentially all diet soda pop now uses saccharine or aspartamine, even overseas.
Mandarin Orange Slice. It's been like 30 years and I still occasionally think about it.
I remember grabbing a dusty and warm 6-pack of Jolt cola from some seedy liquor store when I was 13 (1993) and staying up all night playing SNES and Genesis with my friend Paul. Stuff was like liquid crack.
7:37 You can still enjoy mountain dew pitch black exclusively at your local Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant.
pitch black is also coming back for a limited time in 2023 the relest date it 1/1/23 it will also come in a zero version and a energy version
I deliver for Pepsi, we still have Vanilla Pepsi, it's just one of the flavors we don't get in very often
I don't even drink soda, but Diet Pepsi Vanilla was, hands-down, the BEST diet cola on the market when it first dropped.
It's probably regional. Or the sales rep doesn't order it that often because it doesn't sell well in the market that it's in.
@@nmtay We don't have it, I think it's one that got dropped when covid first happened. I've seen it a handful of times in the last few years
Right now, I'm really wishing I could find Pepsi Light. I miss that lemony diet soda
I saw Pibb Extra at the store yesterday
While I miss some of these, the one I really want back isn’t on this list - Crystal Pepsi
Literally just had a mr. Pibb when I went to see Black Adam. Couple months I mixed some crown royal with Pepsi vanilla bought at my local 7/11
Towne Club was a regional brand based in Detroit with returnable bottles and wood crates long before there was a battle return law.
They sell it Meijer.
@@orlettacaldwell somebody else bought the brand. It's not the same company anymore.
I definitely miss Mr. Pibb, specifically the can art that had the little head character on it. I desperately want it back.
7Up Gold was good -- wish that would come back ..... as a kid I loved NuGrape.......
I miss Pepsi Twist... was so good
I miss Tab soda pop.
You poor soul. YUK!
Tab was terrible!
Lime Crush - Incredible stuff.
I want Crystal Pepsi back!!!!
I do too. They made a short run of it a couple years ago in Georgia. I bought a lot of it.
I loved Coca Cola Lime and got quickly addicted. Unfortunately it pushed my glucose levels over the edge and I was first diagnosed type 2 diabetes that same year (2005). Too much of a good thing can be trouble.
Sprite Vault Mt dew Tad jolt was great tasting drinks.
Who knew jolt cola would’ve been the new crack? Do surge and feed the rush.

If you miss Pepsi Light from the seventies, you can make it at the self service fountain- four parts Pepsi, five parts diet Pepsi and one part lemonade.
I drank my share of Jolt back in high school. Also, from that time, was Slice. Cherry cola and apple were my favs.
I got to try Pepsi Blue when it re-emerged and I loved it. Pepsi Twist was so amazing, especially in the Diet form. I also loved Pepsi Vanilla and Coca-Cola Lime.
One that came here to Canada that I absolutely loved was Pepsi Ginger.
They have mountain dew pitch black at a few of our Sheetz (gas station in the north east)
Pepsi Lime and Coca-Cola Lime were treated badly. Both deserve to be brought back now. I would buy both of them right now. Also, Pepsi Twist deserves a comeback as well.
A local thing to Excelsior Springs was Hall of Waters and I loved their strawberry soda back in the 1960's. Probably full of unhealthy things!
If you want citrus, drink Squirt, If you want Ginger Ale, drink Vernors, If you want a kick ass cola,,, drink Jolt
I clicked through looking for Jolt Cola and Red Bull Cola. I got one out of two :)
Amp was awesome
Pitch black is actually a comeback in January I can’t wait
Pitch Black is probably the only Mountain Dew flavor I full on hated. Tasted like fizzy children's cough syrup.
@@SupermarketSweep777 that’s the only grape soda that doesn’t imo, crush grape is eh Fanta grape is nasty from what I remember
@@bigthrillsmike3950 To me it literally tasted like the cough syrup I had as a kid but fizzy. Even one of my cousins agreed when I said that to her.
They should add a Coke Zero with lime, and I really miss Aspen from the 80's, Aspen was a crisp apple flavored drink
I miss Ramblin' Root Beer.
The soda industry anxiously awaits the development of new colors and innovative ways to misspell them so they can launch new, doomed, and inconsequential soda brands. Fresca Akwamareen is currently in development. Maybe.
Please bring surge back Coke!!!!
I had forgotten about Vault soda thanks for that disappointment
New Coke was essentially the same as regular Pepsi.
I miss the original Pepsi-Cola. It was a light, sort of spicy cola. It left a clean, refreshed finish in the mouth. Never the heavy sweet finish of Cokes. Old timers called it Tonic and drank a bottle every day.
Pepsi changed the formula in the 1960s and made it a poor Coca-Cola drink.
Jolt made for a great rum-and-cola.
Jolt clear grape was great, new coke tasted like RC.
I miss Hires Rootbeer
Vault fucking slapped
MT DEW didnt come around in the 40s maybe the 60s
I miss orange vanilla coke
New Coke is way better than original. Yeah I said it!
Cherry Vanilla Pepsi made with Real Sugar
Thrashed apple taste very similar to surge
Used to drink Bubble Up when I was a kid. Liked it better than 7Up.
Merle Haggard's song "Rainbow Stew" has a line "we'll all be drinking that free Bubble Up". I vaguely think it was made by Coca Cola before they made Sprite but I'm not sure.
Vault was way more tart than Surge
No mention 0f Pepsi Edge, Pepsi Next or Pepsi Slice.
Coke needs to bring back Orange Vanilla Coke...
Sorry C.J.. The only thing worse than Orange Vanilla Coke was middle seat in economy class coach on a trans-Pacific flight.
Red Rose ice tea was ✔️....
cola lime exists already its not discontinued
Yo Vault was the best!!!
Jolt cola and Jim beam.
I don't miss any of these since none of them were in the uk
Mr. Pibb??? Dude doesn't even have a degree. I'll stick with Dr. Pepper. RIH Mitch
When I go to a Coke Freestyle, I almost always get Strawberry Dr. Pepper. It's great and I wish they marketed it in cans like Cherry Dr. Pepper.
Does anyone remember Crystal Pepsi? It was awful.
My favorite freestyle is grape sprite. But yeah, strawberry dr pepper is definitely fire
Mr. Pibb was excellent. Tab was terrible.
They should make a soda with viagra in it. Name it shaft. Get hard with a shaft!
bruh...
Delaware Punch!
Am I the only one that kinda misses Pepsi Fire?
You got to love them cancerous artificial colors and FLAVORS YUM YUM!
DNL was the best. I would rather drink DNL than 7-up.
Cherry Coke is the best. 🙂
Pepsi blue tasted horrible.
3V Cola
grape
I don't miss any of those sodas that are gone.
Cheerwine
Coke blak for sure
Who comes up with these bizarre, disgusting flavors? Berries & cream -- coffee -- vanilla? Yecch. Didn't they test these flavors out on the public in advance, or were they determined to ram them down the public's throat?
"there's a cult following" = "a couple of dozen people like it".
edgy bruh
HIRES ROOT BEER I got 5 cans left they do not make them any more .................
It was half a century ago, but I still remember buying a bottle of Nehi Cream Blue
Jolt is the reason Cornholio from Beavis and Butthead exists. Probably one of the most iconic shows to feature Jolt Cola... and it didn't even get a mention.
Edit for additional: Jolt was mentioned. Beavis & Butthead was not, nor was Cornholio.
Yes it did????!!!!
Incorrect
@@Pavia1525 Bevis and Butthead was not mentioned, but The Simpsons was for "Buzz".
N Garth said it Wayne’s World 2
Are you threatening me?
I know it's still out there somewhere, but RC Cola got tag teamed by Pepsi and Coke's marketing departments for a reason.
That brand does have to be searched for. Same goes for Mr Pibb, though I did have one of those within the last year, from the gift shop at the hospital where I work.
Don't know where you are but it's abundant in the Midwest. Might just be that it doesn't sell well in your market.
@@nmtay Manhattan.
I find it here in the Philly suburbs
You can still get Mr. Pibb and Mr. Pibb extra in Wendy’s in my province in Canada
7-UP Gold. Okay, yes, it took a couple to get it sorted out, but if you became a Gold fan, you truly mourn that weird shot of 7-up, maybe apple, maybe cinnmaon..and whatever it was, And ahhh, yes, Jolt, the cola that was the eye-opening, speed cola Breakfast back in the '80s day of every Ren Farie. (and we did)
I miss Vault so much
New coke tasted like Pepsi and it was awful
loved Pepsi Vanilla. it was really good
Not even going to mention Slice? Slice was like 7UP and Sprite having a baby and Slice was its name, so much better than the other two.
I loved Lime Coke and the Pepsi with Jazz (caramel and strawberry flavors).
The commercial went: You put the lime in the Coke you nut and then you feel better (parody of the Witch Doctor song)
I remember Jolt Cola from my college days. Also New Coke, which I thought was overly syrupy. Bleh. I loved Diet Coke with Lime. You all forgot the mind trip that was Crystal Pepsi. You should do a video on regional favorite sodas like Cheerwine and Ale8.
Faygo rock n rye - it’s a Midwest thing
Hi Mashed I Hope Those Sodas Comes Back To Stores In The Future
Fresca
love it!
Rondo! I'm not willing to pay $4 per can to get Solo (the drink Rondo was based on) shipped over from the UK through Amazon but I do miss that very lightly carbonated lemon fizzy goodness. I was in High School when it was test marketed in the US for two years and I stopped drinking any other soda after I discovered it. You can bet if I ever visit Australia that I will consume Solo at every opportunity.
I was hoping someone would mention Rondo. My dad and I would go fishing when I was a kid and Rondo was always part of our trip.
I miss "Clearly Canadian".
you should taste Cult Cola, maybe it´s gone in your area, you can buy it in Denmark and Greenland 😀
1980s kid here my Mom loved Tab and Pepsi free when it came out. I drank jolt cola and stayed up all night as a teen and actually liked Pepsi blue and Chrystal Pepsi. Maybe because I'm a die hard Coca-Cola fan the different flavors of Pepsi were better. I like Diet Pepsi better than diet coke. Diet Dr. Pepper is the best of diet sodas.

Forgot to add Minute Maid Orange 🥤 Soda 🤔

Cherry 7up. God, I loved that soda.
@@Baja2424 Oh dang you're lucky. I have not seen that in years in my area.
@@Baja2424 Bragger 😉🤣❤️ Enjoy a glass for me, please.
@@Baja2424 ❤️ thank you. 😂
Me too. I like the diet version and can never find it.
@@jchow5966 oh damn. Sad isn't it?
One that I miss is Mister Green by Sobe.
I’ve discovered Jolt soda because of Jurassic Park 🦖
Why does nobody ever remember Slice sodas? Apple mandarin was the best :D
I love jolt cola
I powered slam a 6 pack of jolt every chance I could get it. I miss it
I snuck Jolt like it was beer back in the 80s. My mother disapproved of it because of the caffeine content.
I miss Aspen apple soda the most. Manzanita Sol is acceptable as a substitute if you can find it.
Ah....Jolt Cola. Loved that one. Helped me through college along with Mt. Dew.
We had it good back in the day. I remember Vault, Surge and Mountain Dew Pitch Black. I always thought Surge was just a rebranded Vault but they were both really good. It's too bad those days are gone though because even the best memories are lost over time.
Surge came before vault
@@chrismarsh1044 It did? Well, I guess that shows you how mixed up things are in my mind.
Burger King did have Surge in their Coca Cola Freestyle machines. But my local Burger King removed their Coca Cola Freestyle machine for a standard soda fountain. I really liked Surge.
