Candy Flavoured Soda pop

I just got an A in my packaging design class. I'm enrolled in the Graphic Design program there and I'm hoping to use this momentum from the first (it was a package for a jello competitor from Asia or something like that). But before I can start getting my hands deep in Adobe software I needed to fill out a sheet. I've filled it out up until a question asked me what other candy flavoured sodas were around to compete with the candy flavoured pop I have to design for.

So far the only one I have is Chubby. She told me there were others. She could be lying though, because her clothes look like something out of an 80's throwback thrift store.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Isn't Big Red candy flavored? I'm not a fan at all.. but thats one.

I've never had any. The closest thing I have had is grape and Vanilla Coke. I just need it to complete the sheet so I can start the design. Thanks though, I'll add Big Red on there.

I believe that "Jones Soda" would qualify. They have some different flavours.

I've got it. Thanks though. So far I've got:

Chubby, Coke (carmel flavoured counts), Jones and something called Canfeilds which I found on netgrocer.com

if you have any more oriented around strictly candy flavoured please post them and I'll replace Coke and Canfeilds with them. Thanks again.

Ramune. Japanese soda. How lame is it that the first link in Google is for "Anime Nation". Losers. It tastes like bubble gum, but they one on that page is listed as "lemon/lime". I've only ever seen the bubble gum one at Mitsuwa.

I don't get any of that big red soda in WI. :(

It's widely availble down south. My impression from the Northren US and beyond is that Dr. Pepper is ill favored there and it not much carried. Thus, Big Red is not carried since it comes from the same bottler.

Dr. Pepper is everywhere up north and I have never seen Big Red.

Hum, I went to NY once a long time ago. I ordered a Dr. Pepper at a Mc Donalds while I was there and I got a funny look. The same kind of look I would give someone for ordering a double quarter pounder made entirely of mayo.

I've lived in Florida my whole life and traveled the south a bit and have never seen this Big Red.

Ok. People in Texas can back me up on this at least. It's in every convince store around here.

Ramune is lychee-flavored. It figures that AnimeNation would be clueless enough to list the flavor as lemon/lime. :p I like the stuff, but it's too expensive to drink very often (though it's not like I drink much soda anyway).

I've seen Big Red in many of the gorcery stores around Seattle, never tried it though, is it any good?

Ever hear of Cream Soda? Thats basically cotton candy in a can.

I don't like it personally. It's bubble-gum flavored.

I bought a bottle while I was at the store though.

I hate that I'm remembering this, but Pepsi Blue.
It's Pepsi, but it tatse like the color blue. :yuck:

Also Sprite Remix is the closest thing to liquid Skittles.

I've seen "Big Red" in Buffalo a couple times (never bought it). They sell Dr. Pepper in bottles everywhere up North, but it's usually not in soda fountains.

I don't think Ramune tastes much like lychee. It just tastes like itself, really. If I had to nail down a taste it'd probably be sour apples. Incidentally, you can buy Ramune-flavoured candy.

The sad thing about living here is that ginger ale is hard to find :(

Kinda like schweppes? We got some of that at least.

Big Red is a nasty soda. Blech! Sprite Remix is nectar from the Gods!

It's considered more of a desert cola.

Isn't that more fruity though? This assignment is specific.

There's a category for desert cola and one for fruity ones too. We drew at random and I unluckily drew the candy stuff. Then the next week we had to bring 60 names for the brand (not flavour) and she liked the name: Kiss in a Can for me.

Or maybe Kiss'n a Can because she hates longer names.

We had Big Red at Hop N' Shop when I worked there (convienience store in Iowa). That stuff realllly tastes like shit, the one gulp I ever took was cactus up the ass painfull.

I would have to debate on how acurately the drink that I mentioned, Sprite Remix, turly follows its said tropical origins. The damn stuff tatses like Skittles to me...

I think it could become a wild card for your project. At its origin, it pormotes a zesty pinnaple and stawberry tatse. But in the end, your left with a sugery after effect, similar to candy.
So in your describtion, anything that follows a fruity savor is classified as a fruit drink.

But the things that we call candy mostly deal with having a fruit savor as well.
Could you please describe what traits or flavors you expect candy flavored things to follow and maybe we could be of more help.

p.s. This assignment sounds hellish, IMO:xx:

Yep. They sell it in grocery stores, but almost no convenience stores or restaurants have it :(

big red tastes awful, makes one wish to vomit.

ginger ale on the other hand is a gift from the gods, especially in a glass with ice. =)
