Crazy new soft drink varieties

[Dudeman325]

I am really getting to love that Mountain Dew: Livewire (or whatever it is called, the orange one). Tastes just like orange soda, with the caffeine of Mountain Dew. That black, grape flavored Dew was disgusting though.

Livewire was the only thing that got me through my job the first summer it was released (worked at a climbing gym, with little shithead 10-12 year olds hyped up on birthday cake and icecream...you had to be one step ahead to survive.) I think the staff alone drank more of that stuff than the suppliers could bring us. I was thrilled when it returned; it was originally billed as a 'limited edition' type thing.

Of course, like Australia, Ireland doesn't have many of those funky variations...haven't even HEARD of Coke Blak, and Lime Coke just got released here last fall. (Or, rather, that was the first time anyone I talked to had heard of it.)

Cherry coke has been around for a long time, but still remains my favourite commonly found variety. If you can track down one of the seemingly rare places in England that stocks cherry 7-up you should find that vastly superior though.

All the above being said, diet cherry coke has, since it's recent release over here, gained the distinction of being the only 'diet' carbonated beverage I actually like.

That's because you're a heathen with no taste, literal or metaphorical.

Someone decided to make this new Moxie energy drink, and it tasted nothing like Moxie is supposed to. It was all fruity and green, and anyone who's had Moxie knows that's completely wrong.

Coke Blāk is OK, but way too expensive for what you get. No way I'm getting it again.

Vanilla Cherry Dr Pepper tastes just like normal Dr Pepper to me. Maybe the bottler messed up the New England bottling? Because I'd swear it tastes no different.

Heathen!!

No crazy drinks over here, Although I do like this one drink called Red Eye...

Well, you folks do eat vegemite. Doesn't get much crazier than that.

Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper is amazing, and yes it DOES taste different than regular Dr. Pepper. As in, regular Dr. Pepper doesn't have cherry and vanilla flavorings.

I also love Cherry 7-Up, but it's damn near impossible to find.

I've never even seen Coke Blak before

*googles*

ah... coffee coke.
*shrugs* Could be good. I don't really like coffee, but for some reason I sometimes enjoy coffee flavoured things (Like coffee cake!)

[quote="Negative Polarity";p="635190"]I actually really like the Dr. Pepper Berries & Cream. Coca-Cola Blak is awesome, except that it is friggin' expensive here for some reason. I was really addicted to Vanilla Coke before they discontinued it.[/quote]

Vanilla Coke is discontinued? Coulda fooled me and the case of it in my garage.

Amen.

Now TimTams on the other hand......(Not that I'm able to eat them anyway).

About the weird drink I've seen here in Adelaide is 'Pepsi Samba'. Apparently it was like someone had squeezed pineapple juice into a bottle of Pepsi- and this was not a good thing.
