Here in the Utah we have soda shops that exist just to put more sugar and syrup in soda. It's mormon crack and loving disgusting.

Do they siphon the caffeine outta caffeinated soda?

one of many signs that someone is a mormon is that they willingly drink caffeine free pepsi

i've yet to see evidence that anyone else does

As kids my super mormon cousins were convinced that fountain soda didn't have caffeine in it so they were allowed to drink it. It does.

I like the cranberry ginger ale just fine, but this... I really miss this



Weird Canada Dry fact. 5 years ago when I was in Ontario I got a 12 pack of Canada Dry "Dark" or something. It still didn't taste much like ginger, but it was alright. This just appeared 6 months ago in the states as Canada Dry Bold.

What's the story on LiveWire? Is it coming back or are we just poo poo out of luck on orange things that aren't Coke, Crush and Fanta?

You can still find it in some markets… just not the Bay Area.

Pepsi has a new line of flavors called "Soda Shop". I've found Cream Soda and Black Cherry. The former was good, the latter is mediocre.

They use actual sugar so that's good I guess for death liquid.

It was 2016. Wasn't great. They brought back Pepsi Blue last year and I'm still annoyed that it was for so short a time.

IMPORTANT NEWS

-Mountain Dew PURPLE THUNDER is blackberry and plum flavored. It's gonna be at Circle K only which means I will not be seeing that poo poo in California.

-There's a Dr. Pepper Dark Berry out to promote Jurassic World. I bet it's as good as those movies have been.

There is a convenience store in the practical middle of nowhere that is my most reliable spot for drinks now and they did indeed have the hard to find Marshmallow Coke.

It's based on the artist Marshmallow rather than that as a flavor. It's strawberry-watermelon.

So it's actually a different flavor? I thought it was just a different can or someshit.

It is. I think the confusion is that it is not marshmallow flavor.

This ain't new. Cedar Fair parks give you a reusable cup with a barcode that they scan to limit a refill every 90 minutes. Universal has souvenir cups with NFC tags that the freestyle machines read.

It's less "guava" and more "indistinct tropical flavor" that has been used in previous dews and sprites.
