Does anybody remember “Aspen?” I used to LOVE Aspen. It was a crisp, clear, apple-flavored soda. I even remember Wendy’s Hamburgers carrying it along with their regular fountain drinks.
Alas, Aspen is no longer. Oh, the memories of my childhood.
So, what do you consider to be the bestest soda or pop that’s no longer on the market?
There was something I called “Cherry Coke” my Grandmother bought for me.
It was a local product, because it had an outline of Arkansas on the bottle.
It was red.
Ohh… The Pop Shoppe. I loved the Black Cherry and the Strawberry.
The soda I miss may still be made, I just don’t have access to it. When I was in Norway many many years ago there was this orange soda, can’t remember the name. It wasn’t like the regular orange soda, but like Sunkist Mandarin. Almost, but not quite.
I also remember buying Big Red in glass bottles from the old Coke-Cola machine. That stuff was sugar heaven!
I know they still make it, but anyone else like Ale-81? (pronounced A Late One). it tastes like really really weak ginger ale, and it’s so great!!! They only sell it in Kentucky, I guess, so I’m SOL.
