The Soda Club

Nice observation about what a rip-off the name Sierra Mist is. Even odder is the name of the mountain dew equivalant of the soda brand Faygo, which is called Moon Mist o_O I like that Sierra Mist tastes somewhat different than Mountain Dew, at least, closer to 7up than anything.

Phrick! This reminds me that I owe a special someone fifty cents for a Sierra Mist she bought me a few months ago...I had better put the money in my pocket and not forget <_<;
 
sierra mist is lemon lime w/out caffiene, mountain dew is citrus loaded w/caffiene... what's "faygo"? albertsons (a fairly large chain of grocery stores) sells a knock off of mountain dew called "mountain maze." they have "dr. bold" which is a knock off of dr. pepper and... that's all i can remember off the top of my head.
 
Faygo must be just around here, then. They sell sodas for about a third of the price and about half of the quality. You can still get a can from a soda machine around here for a quarter.

Speaking of funny names, remember Sam's Choice sodas by the name of Mountain Lightning and Dr. Thunder? Those are the Wal-Mart knockoffs.

Also, at a local store called Save-A-Lot, there's a mountain dew knockoff called Mountain Holler o_O
 
Man, I think I never buy and of Wal-Mart's cheap sodas. I always go to the supermarket whenever they have a soda sale and buy them.
 
I only buy the more exotic ones like Pineapple and Fruit Punch. Most of their other stuff is nasty, especially their cola...way too strong x_x
 
pineapple soda is great. the sweetest soda in the world (according to the numbers) is a pineapple soda that you can only find in cuba (i'm pretty sure). supposedly it makes your teeth "shiver" but this sensation is really just fast decay. (that's just what i've heard, i've never had the privilage of tasting it). jarritos pineapple is very good. a couple summers ago my family was making our anual week long trip to catalina island. on this island there is a vons grocery store that sells jarritos. on the first day my cousin and i both bought pineapple sodas and thought they were so good that we bougt at least 2 from each day after. we eventually decided to try other jarritos flavors (we tried them all). it was good times... every time we checked out with the same grocery checker (his name was joe c.) and by the end of the week we were friends with him. we have a picture with him:

i'm on the right... note my ugly hair and the pineapple soda. also note that this was a few years ago and i don't look like such an idiot anymore.
 
I believe Goya makes soda...don't they?
 
Pineapple soda? Tch, I guess I should try that sometimes, I remember drinkin' pineapple juice once an' it was good so pineapple soda should be even better. ^_^
Hmm, grape sodas are good too. *glomps a bottle of Fanta Madness*
 
Oh but it is cool! Tch, the only thing that keeps me cool in summer are sodas! Tch, sure, welcome in. ^_^
 
huh? i've never even heard of goya before... i'm not the expert i thought i was...

The only reason I learned of this was because my sisters' side of the family is mostly hispanic.
 
My sister drinks the stuff all the time...and I had one, forgot what it was, but it tasted good. Think I will get some more...and whats good is that they come in bottles...like the old glass bottles soda used to come in...and sometimes still does....
 
glass bottles make everything better except for water... water needs to be out of plastic (it's too much of a hastle to refill glass bottles). ah, so... i was at youth group on wednesday evening and i'm still not drinking soda... so i have to settle for this sugar free tropicana orangeaide stuff... it was humiliating...
 
The new Tropicana stuff is all over the place...I almost bought a 2-liter for my soda collection but I've got a bad feeling it's here to stay.

Soda does taste better in glass bottles. Coke tastes so good in a glass bottle that it becomes better than pepsi, in fact. I almost think that aluminum can harm the taste of soda. Think of it this way: you know how when you have a handful of change and then smell your hand it smells like metal? I feel that it's the same with sodas. Some chefs won't use certain types of knives on food because people can taste trace amounts of metal in the food if it's meant to be served raw, like a sashimi or tartare.

I really wish Mountain Dew still came in glass bottles. That would be great. I actually have an old Mountain Dew bottle from the 1960s (the dawn of Mountain Dew) and it's rather odd...apparently their marketing strategy back then was to make it appeal to hillbillies, because their mascot was a hillbilly whose catchphrase was "It'll tickle your innards!" o_O

I'll give part two of my Mountain Dew history lesson in a few posts o_o;
 
Actually, I could use some of that...I had a little too much soda this morning...acid reflex is a horrible feeling...burns and burns in throat...chest....drank some water to quell it, but that didn't work...and I'm not much of a milk drinker...
 
I know how that is, Cy...soda and juice kill me in the morning if I make either of them my breakfast x_x; I actually can't drink soda after 7 p.m. or I'm sick all night.
 
actually...it wasn't soda...it was this juice my mother bought...I remember...soda doesn't do this to me...
