Discontinued Soda Taste Test

We try discontinued soda in this taste test video, and we're shocked by which ones we think taste good, and which sodas are so old they taste gross! Some of these sodas are almost 30 years old, and we remember them all from our childhood! We watch the old soda commercials, and there's so much nostalgia in this video! We try tasting Sprite Remix, Pepsi Blue, Crystal Pepsi, Vault, Surge, Jolt, and Orbitz sodas! Some of them have even expired! Which one do you remember the most, and which soda flavor was your favorite?

Happy Sunday, TRYBE! Do you agree with our rulings?! What do you wish they brought back?

[@nightbane727]

Pepsi blue was amazing originally and it was nearly identical to mountain dew voltage in taste tbh

[@nightbane727]

Also cherry vault was even better yet and you guys do need to try that

[@wakenbaconproductions4328]

They should bring back Orbits i remember those soo much .. Idk why

[@faypendleton7150]

Catcus cooler!

[@nicolettereed5720]

Umm surge soda is back in production and Walmart sells it for about a dollar.

[@Kitty-Marks]

I drank Orbits, the orbs were gelatin. I actually really liked Orbits. The reason it flopped was because people were off put to having floaties in thier drink. Maybe the down fall of Orbits was because it was ahead of it's time. Its 2019, we drink the weirdest stuff now! Between all the protien shake fads to cooking with science (liquid nitrogen, etc). I think Orbits would have done differently now a days.

[@emilyatkinson12]

Saraphiene Haldritch so orbits was just bubble tea? Lol

[@HayleeBull15]

Yes bring it back!!

[@Silverflame24]

It was like bubble tea! I loved those dang drinks!

“This tastes like JNCO jeans & hair gel!” Yes!! 😆 Also the flamingo cups rock!

[@TheHarvestGoddessChloe]

I about died when I saw that!

[@AliSceneDominguez]

Surge is and will always be my favorite. I remember Burger King brought it back as a slushee and it was a $1 for a medium so I would always get one after school. I love surge so much.

[@hottopicthief]

That's not Pepsi blue. Pepsi blue tasted like berries.. that's just a blue pepsi.

[@ultimatespidybawlz2198]

That is Pepsi blue, I tried that bottle of it before and it tasted like a berry cotton candy flavour of pepsi

[@Eyecrinkle]

A lot of the « Pepsi Blue » that you can get today is literally just blue colored Pepsi. South Asian countries have this. Pepsi Blue that was blue raspberry flavored isn’t in production anywhere anymore!

[@STirZ_RockCityUg]

Ohh Lord. It literally says Pepsi Blue on that bottle 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂😂

Part Two needs to include the old Snapple Rain, Earth, Fire, and Sun drinks!

[@jessicamcluhan6982]

Oh, yes! I remember an apple flavored soda from the 1980s!

[@NelliSmith]

Yes! I refused to drink any that werent fire! I blame sailor moon!

[@cougarvar13]

YES! These were the best!

[@dependentongod4ever]

The original Blue Pepsi tasted like a melted version of the blue raspberry push pops!!

[@Sarnandhun]

Exactly!!!

[@jrasicmark1]

I wonder why they couldn't taste the blueberry? Maybe it was too old? At the time, I thought it was just blue colored Pepsi, so I didn't see the point. Same with Crystal Pepsi. But I wouldn't mind trying a blueberry cola because Cherry Coke is great!

[@dependentongod4ever]

@@jrasicmark1 I think they got the newer one from Mexico or something. Maybe Mexico changed the recipe so it is just a blue colored Pepsi. But honestly, just go and get the box of push ups (popsicles in a plastic pouch) and melt it. It tastes just like the blue one lol.

[@jennyschur6687]

Clearly Canadian Cherry I dream of this drink from the 90’s to this day!!!

[@kdoll83]

come through DeForest WI, we have this one and other flavors at the gas station I work at :)

[@ImNotaRussianBot]

They still have it! I got all the flavors (one of each) at Kroger (Cincinnati, Ohio) just out of nostalgia. The bottles are glass now.

[@ncastro612]

Fruitopia? The trippy, psychedelic commercials?

[@NoNames-vw3bq]

They weren't soda but they had some good flavours for sure.

[@gothcarebear]

Yesss the strawberry was good. I haven’t had it at McDonald’s in a year

[@missy95624]

Yes they had a few vending machines in school I was just thinking about these drinks too

[@rebeccahill6642]

I remember the SoBe with the lizard on the bottle. Pina colada and strawberry were my jam! Lol

[@mynephewisawesome]

They still sell SoBe

[@hollybsiehl]

Pina colada still to this day is my favorite drink. Every time I find them, I buy everyone they have!!!?

[@rebeccahill6642]

I haven't seen it in years....😥

[@godsladybug24]

Sobe is still here in a few stores in nova Scotia

[@Mugelbbub16]

They still sell it in Utah at gas stations, I even had the pounds colada a month ago, it's not my go to drink, but I see it all the time

[@scarter3518]

Does anyone remember SoBe? On base my parents would bring home "strawberry daiquiris" or "strawberry banana" flavor ones... my all time favorites!! So mid 90's- early 2000's (so my middle//high school) I know you can still buy drinks from the company but I think strawberry banana is discontinued. Correct me if I'm wrong....

[@roxykonkle1672]

They are still available. I have a store here that I found them at a few weeks ago. Up until that point I didn't think they existed. only difference now is they are in plastic instead of the glass bottles that they used to be in

[@scarter3518]

@@roxykonkle1672 Can you still buy the Strawberry banana ones? I remember the glass ones. I haven't had SoBe in a very long time! Today I found the company's website and saw that they have a lot of different flavors now. Where I live in my town only one store carriers them but I still haven't tried one yet.

[@brendajimenez496]

They still have the strawberry banana ones. I used to work for a restaurant that served it and strawberry banana was popular

[@roxykonkle1672]

Yeah they do. They have the strawberry banana the daiquiri and the yellow one. Which I can't remember the flavor but it's my favorite.

I didn't like the taste of Jolt but sure did drink it for night classes.

[@aubreyhall4420]

Orbitz was my FAVORITE!! I remember the texture of the little orbs freaking me out at first, then it was just addictive 😂

[@victoriawayment5358]

Need try and do discontinued old cereals.

[@victoriawayment5358]

And yes part 2 of sodas.

[@munkeyfucker]

I am of the age that wore JNCO wide leg jeans :) And many of my guy friends had the frosted tip look (thanks N' Sync). The girls wore their hair short in a chelsea cut or long and in braids... oh! the 90's. Jolt was actually banned in elementary school when I was a kid haha Orbits, while tasty, the orbs were gross in texture. And blue Pepsi did taste like berry originally, but still wans't good. PS luv your videos! You two bring a smile to my face with your shenanigans! Keep up the good laugh! Cheers!

[@ImNotaRussianBot]

Remember the zig-zag hair parts and the crappy tiny butterfly clips?

[@jamesfitchhorn3785]

Vault is available again. Crystal Pepsi was my addiction, I love the Sprite mix.

[@ambermatcha6853]

I loved Orbitz!!! Surge was my favorite, and it's back in 16 oz cans in gas stations and in Amazon, and now in the fountain at Burger King! There were so many awesome drinks in the 90s. We need more comebacks!

[@jessicablankenship5813]

I didn’t even realize vault wasnt around anymore 😂

I love that half of these sodas were re-released in the south

[@dianap.7682]

They sell the tropical Sprite at a gas station near me

[@ariajones7180]

They also have it at McDonald's (at least where I live)

[@dianap.7682]

Yeah I've seen it there at mine

[@brandikidd3803]

Shasta was my favorite when I was a kid! I just turned 46 and I was never able to get brand name soda. My mom would buy Shasta and it was really good. Thank you, Brandi

[@TheMtggrl]

I remember ORBIT ... I don't remember liking it though. The soda I miss was called "Aspen", it was an apple flavored soda and it was yummy. We had it in our vending machine at school, I used to grab a can every day after guy class in 1979, yup I'm old. That was fun guys ... thanks for sharing.

[@abieshleman8313]

I loved the whitish clear Orbitz with the yellow orbs! It tasted like pineapple coconut! My dad had a vending business in the ‘90s, so I got to taste it all.😎

[@alyssawellington8094]

You can get surge at Burger King right now...

[@MenTry]

For real?! Shows how often we go to BK... hahahaha

[@sondrasmith50]

Surge is at 5 below also

[@guadalupetalavera3386]

they also sell surge at my local dollar tree

[@HeavenHernandez90]

Yea surge is still available in stores too. Not in a case here but buy them individually.

[@DreadfulxIves18]

Omg this brought back so many memories! Vault and Surge were my early teen years! I wish they were still around

[@CelesteRyder]

The thing about Orbitz that’s never mentioned is, the liquid and the orbs were different flavours, and combining them is what made it interesting. For example, the liquid could taste of lemon while the orbs tasted of strawberry. It was colour coded too, so you could know what the flavours were by looking at the drink, without having to read the bottle.

[@Sarnandhun]

YESSSS! Jolt was the flavor I remember from when my brother and I road-tripped from Washington to Wisconsin. And Surge was the preferred drink of many a LAN party! Ahhhh, those were the days. 😂

[@kassy1976731]

You need to find Clearly Canadian drinks

[@auntiea2002]

i was just thinking that. :)

[@connorcaron1400]

Actually they are back

[@amberhatch563]

They are back, the campaign Rhett and Link started successfully convinced the company to bring them back. They are not everywhere though, my Meijer's has them but not any of the other supermarkets around my area do.

[@cadenkelley7771]

I found them at world market. I love them but my husband says they taste like fizzy cough syrup.

[@yvonne5322]

I loved those

[@amypalooza6934]

I actually had Orbitz on Halloween the year it was originally out as a teen (I'm 37 now, will be 38 next month) and I LOVED it and I was so disappointed when it was discontinued! I also loved Jolt cola as a kid!

[@ThePatDemers]

How tf did I never try Pepsi blue when it had a commercial with Papa Roach lol

[@erinluvsdk13]

It just hit me!!! When I go to the movies and they have the machine where you can put flavor in any drink i always get strawberry sprite and people turn their nose up to it but I loved sprite remix!!!! So technically it’s kinda still available!!

[@bookwrm4evr]

The only time i had a raspberry Orbitz was at a Sbarros pizza, during my high school days. That song in the clear pepsi commercial was ingrained as clear pepsi, in my mind. Part 2, hmm, Fruitopia, SoBe, Snapple elements, Squeeze-its..tho that may be too far back haha.

[@brittypeach5799]

This is awesome! 90-2000s best commercials, random and colorful and hyped the product. Crystal Pepsi had a comeback at the beginning of last year at select stores in new England. And thanks for getting the blue song stuck in my head, was humming that all week and just got it out of my head yesterday. Men try all decade type candy from 1920-now

[@marcibrabb199]

Tropical Sprite was hands-down my favorite soda when it came out.

That’s because this video is pretty much a "rip off" of Rhett and Link's discontinued soda taste test. Even the thumbnail is pretty much the same.

If you think it’s a “rip off” then why don’t you “bounce off” of the video. 😂😂😂😂😂😂✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼

[@QuatanoxXx]

@@kaitlynnheflin6573 I do not just "think" it's a rip-off, It obviously is. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. They gave it their own twist. It would have been nice if they disclaimed their inspiration at some point. On a sidenote: don't use emojis like that. It only makes you look stupid.

Hey, how about doing one where you try hard sodas? They're alcohol that they make to taste like sodas! There are several different brands and they make root beer, ginger ale, orange, grape, cherry cola, lemon lime, and cream soda flavors. I'm not much of a drinker because I don't really like the flavor of alcohol, especially beer, but the hard sodas are okay. They're not healthy, though, because they have tons of sugar so they'll make you fat as well as giving you a beer belly if you like them too much! :)
