The Forgotten GOATs of Soda History

That wild electric blue soda that tasted like cotton candy + cough syrup had a baby. Gen Z core. Gone but never forgotten. Briefly came back in 2021. We need it permanently.

Coca-Cola’s answer to Mountain Dew, basically neon chaos in a can. Had a cult following. Came back for a hot minute on Amazon, then faded again.

Coffee + Coke in the early 2000s?? Bro… Gen Z would eat this up now. But it flopped. They really walked so Starbucks Baya and Coke w/ Coffee could run.

TikTok kinda revived it with the “I’m a little lad” meme, but it’s still MIA. Too creamy, too dreamy.

A spicy ginger-ish version of 7UP. Didn’t last long, but it was weirdly good. People were like “wait… is this a 7UP or a root beer??”

Coca-Cola’s existential crisis in a can from the ’90s. Literally marketed with nihilism. Wild aesthetics. Weird flavor. Total vibe.

Pepsi’s first energy soda, released in the ’90s. Had guarana before it was cool. “Better do the Josta thing.” Absolute banger tagline. Bring it back, cowards.

Clear cola. Looked like Sprite, tasted like Pepsi. So weird. So ahead of its time. It was a Y2K fever dream in a bottle.

“Drinks like a soda, kicks like an energy drink.” Yeah, it kicked… and then vanished. Kind of a Surge 2.0 but with extra zoomies.

OG fruit-flavored soda line from Pepsi in the ’80s and ’90s. Orange Slice was iconic. Now replaced by… Sierra Mist? Lame.
