I want the return of soda with Real Sugar. Not the caustic High Fructose Corn Syrup. Also, lets get back to the glass bottles. Taste so much better.

[@nadinedaugherty2869]

The only place I know to get favorite sodas made with real sugar and in glass bottles are in Mexican grocery stores. Mexico still uses cane sugar and glass! I'd give quite a lot to have a real Mountain Dew in a glass bottle with the hillbilly logo on it!

[@PhyllisNS]

Tab is gone but not forgotten. There's a group petioning Coke to bring it back! And Fresca, is still on the shelves.

[@briansiler7462]

A&W Root Beer, served in a frosty glass mug, a hot Tenderloin sandwich, and a pile of fresh french fries, at the Drive In was Heaven on Earth for me!

[@leftylou6070]

The A&W I went to when I was a kid had 2 for a dollar chili dogs and a root beer, and a .10c pinball machine to work off the bloat.

[@robertslagle7918]

I miss Jolt Cola from the '80s.

[@stevecolombe4446]

It was a college must have.

[@davidjones535]

Ok wingnut I grow up in the 70s and 80s and there is no way a can of soda cost a $ 1:00 backthen even in pop machines!

[@Biggdaddy903]

Squirt is still available everywhere.

[@zuzutheinfectedelf]

yep just saw it at work the other day

[@johnnymason2460]

I have seen Squirt drinks lately. It still tastes great.

[@thomosburn8740]

I have always been a Squirt fan, but you gotta wonder: "if there was a poo flavored soda what would they call it?"

[@levyoliver5363]

I like Squirt..🎉

[@johnnymason2460]

@@thomosburn8740 You better hope that never happens. That would be extremely bad. And very disgusting.

Dads, and Barrellhead rootbeers were pretty damned good too. Wish they'd bring them back.

[@shawnthomas7404]

dads is still available

[@wellIdiditagain]

Where I live they've got a store that has slot of the old tyme sodas. So they must still make them in some form, because I can still go but then. In glass bottles.

[@jeannehall6546]

I still remember Shasta (all flavors), Hoffman’s Diet drinks, Fresca (I think that’s still around), Faygo drinks, Teem, Bubble Up, Slice, and Pepsi Lite. And remember Nehi?

[@DebbieandEddieBFF]

Shasta Strawberry 🍓

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

tab Fresca , diet rite rc cola , dont drink any , now where you are from Call or ask for a soda ,soda pop ,pop , soft drinks , coke

[@jeannehall6546]

@@youtubecarspottersguide1 In Indiana it’s called pop. In Illinois it’s sometimes called pop and sometimes called soda. In Florida it’s called soda. In Texas it’s called coke. The upper class in Michigan say soft drink. Some older people in Massachusetts call it tonic.

[@robertbroughton1443]

And one of the worst tasting sodas from the 70's: LEMON PEPSI.

[@75aces97]

Faygo is still available.

[@carlavision6143]

Loved Crystal Clear Pepsi and wish they'd bring it back!

[@williamjameson478]

Most of these sodas, were 80's and 90's, not the 70's

[@rebels42wynn83]

I remember SLICE while growing up in the 80s.

[@vernonmontoya2449]

Never heard of Rondo sodas

[@efogg3]

Slice! Bring it back!!

[@gbluesky4264]

Shasta was really good!So many fun flavors

[@robertbroughton1443]

Same with Faygo.

[@shawnthomas7404]

@@robertbroughton1443 both still exist

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

Shasta tends to be on the Western side of the US, Faygo the Midwest and East. Although in the Midwest it can be found at Dollar Tree sometimes.

[@shawnthomas7404]

@@lindawolffkashmir2768 it can be found everywhere in the midwest

What about Dixie Cola in the mid 1970s? It is delicious..!

[@frankwafer6919]

As a baby boomer,I drank alot of these!😎😮💖💯🖤👍thanks!❤

[@laurenonmoonlightdr]

I remember as a kid in the late 60s drinking a fruit punch flavored pop (or soda or carbonated beverage) called Tahitian Treat. I loved that stuff. I also wish i could still find Birch Beer (stronger flavored Root Beer) and Mint Ginger Ale, which I craved when I was pregnant!

[@jailr67]

Tahitian Treat is still around, and still delicious!

[@johnnymason2460]

Bring back Rondo citrus sodas. They were very pleasing to the palette.

[@bobfeller604]

In a James Lee Burke novel I read about a beverage that was popular in the deep south back in the 50's & 60's called Dr. Nut. I wish I could have tried it. Apparently it had an almond like flavor similar to Amaretto.

[@witchfindergeneral13]

Sounds good.

[@karrimueller3304]

I remember Tang, Barts root beer, Fresca, Fango, and many others.

[@arfriedman4577]

My grandmother, RIP, liked tab soda. Growing up in Brooklyn ny, my dad used to buy soda from a store near kings plaza mall. I think it was called hoffman.

[@worry2much]

I remember Squirt as the adults at the time mixed it with vodka as a poor man's screw driver.

[@goodoldbubba6620]

Ale 8. Nobody seems to remember that one. I loved it.

[@angietarpley1983]

A lit of these I never heard of! I am in my 70s.

[@daviddaigle2419]

Half of the drinks their showing are from the 80s and 90s ,

[@gilbertlopez3544]

All of them came out in the late 70s. I know 70 years old, but got big in 1980, takes time before it hits all 50 states. Like today some new drinks take time.

[@brianhanson5110]

I remember a beverage they use to have in the 80's. Forgot the name, thought. It was oranges and cream soda sold in a thick dark green bottle made to look like a wooden planked barrel.👍😎.

[@jenniferh5649]

Mello Yello is still available. Do you do any research?

[@Tomatohater64]

Absolutely loved original Fresca from the 60s & 70s. But my all-time favorite soda is Tonic Water.

[@ghw7192]

So did i. Later research showed that it was virtually impossible to drink enough for the cyclamates to be harmful, but by then Ftesca was gone. I have not tried the reboot.

[@Tomatohater64]

@@ghw7192 Like most modern reboots, it is extremely disappointing. I've tried it on 3 different occasions and it really sucked all 3 times - very little similarity between it and the vastly superior original from 1966. I just buy my tonic water or Bold Ginger Ale from Canada Dry, which is mighty good if I do say.

[@bobholtzmann]

Nesbitt's Orange Soda had a great 1970s TV commercial. It was my favorite orange soda besides Vess Whistle, and was discontinued recently.

[@charlenegehrig8284]

What about Sarsaparilla???

[@charlenegehrig8284]

I also love a&w cream soda too!! I know they still make it, but it doesn't stay on the shelfs long in the super markets out here!!

[@charlenegehrig8284]

Here's another drink as a kid I'd remembered!! A non alcoholic Shirley temple !! We would order them at restaurants that had a bar!! I don't think they commercialized it though!!

[@MrEmperorApples]

I miss Doctor Slice. By far my favorite soda ever

[@tylerbuckley4661]

Fresca still around

[@styxkc]

Selling the can for $400 is not crazy. BUYING the can for $400 is crazy.

[@coopsmusicvision]

does Hires root beer still exist? i don't drink soda anymore but i liked it as a kid.

[@75aces97]

McCormick bought it. For a while they were selling the Hires root beer flavor extract. I think they discontinued the actual bottled root beer.

[@kcvinwehoLA]

I LOVED the Shasta chocolate soda!!!

[@kevcol5662]

My favorite soda from the 20th century. Faygo Diet Orange Pineapple. I have not found a replacement for my taste.

[@johnfowler6600]

You forgot Canada Dry Sport Cola

[@blackwolf6082]

Shasta Cherry Cola was da bomb

[@hilariecalijo4643]

I loved RC cola lol I know it wasn’t mentioned.

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

It’s still around, it may not be in all markets, though. Or at least not displayed prominently.

[@swbottles]

It was around for 100 years, but I haven't seen it the last 2 years.

[@SW-in-S-FL]

Ting...easily found here in S FL at a lot of grocers

[@barbarajohnson83]

Could you please do one for the 1960’s? I remember a powdered drink very much like Tang, but it was called Keen made by the Nestles Company that came in many flavors. We always had the grape in our house. It was like a updated version of Kool Aid, but with sugar added in a tall glass jar. I stopped drinking soda in the yearly 90’s, but I do remember many of these brands. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@drsysop]

You forgot RC Cola & Jolt Cola in the 1980's.

[@wellIdiditagain]

I think RC is still around

[@kencory2476]

Last time I had a soft drink, the Beatles were still together.

[@glaffoon1]

I loved TAB and TAB Clear.

[@100aceswid]

What about NoCal. Especially NoCal chocolate soda. Also Birdseye Thick 'N Frosty.

[@johnnymason2460]

The Kroger stores are still selling Ting grapefruit sodas. I actually enjoy it.

[@user-vi4zw8ps1c]

Pepsi blue!

[@Amm1ttai]

Shasta used to be great. It was our go-to soda for holidays and family get-togethers. Now they put artificial sweeteners in all of them, even the regular non-diet sodas, and they taste terrible. I really liked OK soda, not for the soda particularly, but I loved the cans.

[@robertphoenixastroplus8182]

Not many 70's brands. Missing were RC Cola, Sport Cola, Apple Beer, Bubble Up, Hires, and Cactus Juice.

[@markgalgano8649]

We had Costa soda pop. It came in glass containers which one returned for deposits. Polar bought it but never did the Costa flavors.

[@stevecolombe4446]

I must have lived a sheltered life. The only ones I remember are Crystal Pepsi, Slice, Coke black cherry vanilla, Fresca and New Coke.

[@worry2much]

There was a caffeine free cola made in the late 50s early 60s Sport Cola made by Canada Dry with Wally Cox as it's spokesman.

[@suralos]

There was another Soda known as Ting. There a Wisconsin Soda company of that name that made multiple flavors and sold in glass bottles.

Pepsi Lite was the 3 name for diet Pepsi. First it was called Patio cola in 1963 then diet Pepsi from 1964 to 1974 them Pepsi lite for a few years then diet Pepsi again.

New coke was horrible and Coca Cola fouled up bad when they put it out
