Cream Soda vs. Root Beer

On a side note, back in the 70s, you could get these huge gen/juice like bottles of softdrinks.

It's made by Sobe, tastes kinda like Dr Pepper, is actually green and is literally the best soda ever made by man.

Is Mr. Green still on the market? I used to buy it almost every day after work at the department store across the street to get my parking validated. It was really good. My favorite Dr Pepper-y soda, though, was Mr. Pibb. The original. Pibb Xtra is hideous. Dr Pepper Red Fusion was too syrupy and the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper is pretty nasty too. Though diet soda can be damn good, Diet Pepsi Vanilla = awesome.

I miss Mountain Dew Pitch Black already, but I don't miss any soda like I miss Josta.

I'm not sure if it's still out, but I wish it was. When I was in High School they started selling it in vending machines and at the main snack bar, but eventually it started outselling Pepsi (by a very large degree, something like Mr. Green sold out every day and Pepsi sold like 15% of what is used to) and they threatened to pull their contract with the school unless they stopped selling Mr. Green. The school complied because Mr. Green was proposed as a limited time drink, and they were scared of what would happen if Sobe stopped making it and Pepsi didn't have a contract with us anymore.

I haven't seen it since.

Just finished a coconut cream soda. That shit was good.

That's what I meant, I'm convinced that shit is just funneled right out of a Dr. Pepper bottle.

I have to agree that RC is definitely the king of colas.

My local pizzeria gives a free 2 liter of it with every pie. I'm telling ya, the shit goes great with a slice. It's heavenly.

No, but I hope it is followed by other Clue-themed soft drinks. Prof. Plum, anyone?

While we're talking about lesser known sodas are there any Wishniak fans here? I love that shit.

Is that really what happened of did you just make some shit up? Because as I recall, Mr. Green was distributed by the Pepsi Co., seeing as they were selling it in Pepsi vending machines.

I'm not 100% sure on the story, but ASB was in charge of all that shit and the way it was explained to me was that we either had to stop selling it or Pepsi was going to pull (change?) the contract with us.

Also I think it was some sub devision of Pepsi that did it, because Kim couldn't get it at the deli because her Pepsi provider didn't have it.
