It was like Big Red but didn't last long on the market.

In Highschool, I took Nehi Blue soda and poured it into an empty, cleaned out windex bottle. Then
I sprayed it in my mouth and everyone thought I was crazy. tia

Surge is back.

"Coca-Cola has a little surprise for '90s nostalgics: Surge soda, the company's equivalent to Mountain Dew, is back. The global soda giant began selling the "fully loaded citrus soda" on Monday, more than 12 years since the brand was discontinued."

Like cola (a 7up-produced cola from 1982). My family loved this stuff, but it wasn't sold for very long.

Rocky Top Cherry Lemon Lime was the only soda I ever sought out. It was hard to find, but the closest thing you could get to a Sonic cherry limeade from a can.

Yep, I mentioned Jolt Cola on the sponsor all nighter thread. Twice the sugar, and twice the caffeine!

Jolt cola was controversial at the time. People were mad about it.

Jolt sponsored something at the MSC when I was a sophomore (1991-92). I tried my first and only Jolt that night. Couldn't get through the can.

I loved Red Rattler! Always bought whatever I could find around B/CS before heading to DFW. Mainly the tiny Exxon in Reagan that looked like it might fall over while inside it.

I don't ever recall seeing it once you got much north of San Antonio. I remember liking it better than Big Red.

The classic 90's one-week fad cola. "Hey, research says these Gen X'ers are cynical towards corporate branding. Let's build a brand around that!"
