A lot of those sodas actually look very good, I wish they weren't discontinued.

I don't remember Pepsi's Wild Bunch. I wish I had tried them.

I liked Pepsi Blue. Hope it comes back in 2009.

Sprite Remix rocked.

Oh well, I'm still waiting for Vanilla Coke to make its comeback here.

I remember the super mario sodas. Those were good =) Mr. Pibb was also good, to bad it was re-branded.

Berry Clear Sprite Remix was my favorite. I even tried to see if I could special-order it, but to no avail. Oh well, guess I'll stick with Dublin Dr. Pepper.

I still miss Surge.

The rest of them I've never really had, other than Pepsi Blue when the vending machines were out of Dew.

I remember Vanilla Coke... Never actually had Pepsi Blue, or much of anything else. I had 7UP Upside-Down once. (Caffeinated, green soda, clear bottle, upside-down label) ____________________

There was Black Cherry Vanilla Coke (or maybe Pepsi, don't remember) that was damn good, too. ____________________

The only soda on that list that I remember actually liking was dnL. Surge was meh, Sprite Remix wasn't as good as the original Sprite, and I didn't like/taste any of the rest of them.

I used to love Citra back in the day, but other than that, I don't really remember drinking any of the other drinks. Looking at them certainly reminded me of the days I used to buy sodas at convenience stores all the time, though.

I don't have to remember it. It's currently my favorite soda.

Also fuck you Norwegians! I want my SURGE back!!!!! That soda was 10x more legit than vault!

I also have to say I miss Mellow Yellow. Sure it's still around, but not as much around. I found it everywhere in the south, including canned. It was only until recently that I found out my local subway had it, but we all know how easy it is to mess up with the mixing on those fountain sodas... I've still got 2 cans of it hidden in the fridge...

I'm also hiding 2 cans of Halo 3 Mountain Dews. One's in the downstairs fridge and the other is uhhh... in my sock drawer...

And while we're on the topic of sodas... I'd like to make a push to get Baja Mountain Dew canned and sold in stores. That stuff is too good to restrict to Taco Bell.

Pepsi Blue was one of the most horrid drinks I've ever had, sorry.

We have Fanta Blue Raspberry here now; I haven't tried it but I'd guess it might be a notch above Pepsi Blue. Just a hunch.

Crystal Pepsi was a gift from the heavens and I remember drinking it.

Pepsi without the dye - brilliant!

I'm with Colin on this one: Pepsi Blue was horrible D: Additionally: the first time I tried Vanilla Coke (which wasn't a failure), it gave me a headache

Also: who remembers that red dr. pepper from way back?

I miss Sprite Remix so fucking much. Augh.

What happened to Mountain Dew Livewire, though? Those were amazing, seriously... it saddens me to see it gone. (And where's Voltage, even? I never see that either...)

Livewire still exists around here last time I checked. (Which was a month ago, probably) And Voltage? It won in the contest of three, so you should be seeing some more of that sometime soon.

As for those small 8-oz Halloween sodas? Crappy, should not be released again.
