10 Worst Drinks from the 1970s and 80s that faded into History

Pepsi came out with Slice in the mid 80s. It was their answer to Sprite, but it was made with real juice. I loved Slice. Eventually they came out with their own line of Slice products including an apple soda. I wish they would bring that back. Making it with real juice makes a huge difference.

I was a kid in the 1970’s. My grandparents had a store and I would go to the open the cooler and get a Nehi . Upper 10 and Nehi were great. Also all the drinks were in glass bottles and they tasted so much better back then.

[@nowthatsjustducky]

Back in the day, Jolt was the elixir of life...as was Big Red soda.

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

For a brief period there was also Jolt gum, which would wire you up better than the soda. In 10 or 15 minutes or so, you would realize that you were just chewing the bejeezus out of that gum, wired UP.

I wish Jolt cola was still around.

[@stevenbaker8184]

Yeah jolt and a med called Caffidrine ( really just more caffeine over load). Enough and you were up a whole week long.

[@lennyo5165]

Heck yeah Jolt Cola was great. It was also palatable unlike the current crop of "energy drinks", Monster and Red Bull taste like piss in my opinion.

[@Sammo421]

They still make Water Joe though the only place I know to get it is Amazon. But yeah Jolt was great, "All the sugar and twice the Caffeine."

[@Shadow_Sonata]

@@lennyo5165 So far, the only good tasting energy drinks I found were G-Fuel canned (also a clean lift and not as much caffeine), Bang (for taste, EXCEPT Chocolate and Birthday Cake) and Bucked Up. Especially their White Gummy Deer Flavor. The Cherry Candy one however, tastes like cherry cough syrup. All three also have no artificial dyes.

[@Keith-rk4td]

I remember a store called The Pop Shop. They had many different flavors they only sold by the case. The flavors were like Jaritos.

[@mistermattmoose]

2 that i miss are slice ( "made with 10% real fruit juice") and new york seltzer water, which was seltzer water and fruit flavorings. they even had cola and vanilla flavors.

[@csnide6702]

Tab also tasted like detergent.

[@TheGreyRider-p5z]

Damn! I remember those Tab adds. Getting old sucks!

[@TroyPacelli]

4:22 - I loved Tab. It was the taste of my teen years. When they took it off the market, I bought all the cases that the local stores had. The problem with that plan is that, while the soda itself doesn't exactly go bad, the cans have a definite half-life. I noticed the soda was starting to taste "off," but then when I was finding empty, unopened cans, with the bins the cases were stored in were filling up with soda, I knew the cans were failing. I also loved 6:34 Jolt. I kind of wish I'd gotten to try Aspen.

[@petuniasevan]

8:38 They LOVE apple soda in Mexico. It's now very common to find apple soda in US markets (Sidral and Manzanita Sol are sold in my area in Wisconsin). I like apple soda and buy it on occasion.

[@mdemers767]

I'm not sure about Manzanita Sol, but Sidral is made with actual sugar instead of HFCS, so at least better for you in that respect, and it tastes better.

They changed the modern formula in 1985. It didn't do well, so they went back to the "original" formula. That's what they mean by original formula.

They still use the same plant as cocaine In The soda. If you can still test the drink for cocaine and it would pop up.

"New Coke" was not a failure; it instead was one of the most brilliant marketing ploys in history. "New Coke" was never intended to be sold for the long term, but to make the public cry out for the original formula - immediately thereafter rebranded as "Coke Classic." Coca Cola was falling out of fashion with the MTV generation and this stunt brought it back to the masses permanently; in fact the masses demanded it!! Coca cola, I salute your marketing genius!!!

[@JohnnySmithWhite-wd4ey]

Marketing genius or out of touch foreigners who didn't know the first thing about American tastes? Coke became the property of people from Central America. Their knowledge of American culture was debatable.

[@TheGreyRider-p5z]

And you're privy to this knowledge how?

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

It was also a way to mask the shift from sugar to HFCS. All other sodas could make the transition in a single day without anyone noticing, but Coca-Cola could not. By keeping Coca-Cola off the market for a few months with this stunt, they accomplished the switch. You can see exactly what I mean about the HFCS not tasting right by comparing side-by-side a regular Coke and a Mexican (or a Passover) Coke.

[@CBass-mn5dy]

And......they traded sugar to high fructose corn syrup.... likely profiting them billions more since they did it.... it was a planned event.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HIRES ROOTBEER? PLEASE BRING IT BACK.

[@AaronShomo]

Been drinking soda for almost 70 years. Difference between Coke and Pepsi is Coke uses orange as fruit base, Pepsi uses Lemon. Mt. Dew normally uses orange. I prefer orange. Dr. Pepper claims 23 & I'm sure different 'flavors' change around but I suspect plum. Plum is good but no sane person would make prune soda. Fresca is still around but if like me you live in a Pepsi area it can be hard to get. I like grapefruit somewhat, but if you do not I get it.I RC was still around a few years ago but I don't shop much now It's part of Dr pep-7 up partnership if it is. With Vernor's-I like Vernor's because most ginger ale, you just can barely taste anything. I'm fairly sure Pepsi owns most rights to Dr. Pepper across the country When I grew up you could barely get any Root Beer around here except for Hires or Dad's. I may not have seen Hires for decades I got some Dad's at a local chain up to a few years ago but then they stopped getting it. I liked blue Pepsi. But you can figure out why lemon coke went bust, & you never hear pepsi going orange. You know there's nasty orange disease, if it gets too bad I suspect Pepsi will go to watermelon Dew, just add sugar...
