Like I said, that was back in the dark ages. I’m an unsweet tea guy myself, now. Trouble is, I moved from the midwest, where that was the norm, to the south, where if you don’t specify, you get something like melted sugar over ice.
I like both Code Red and regular Mountain Dew, what i want to know is when will Code Red be available in cases or sixpacks?
Code red slurpees? I am jealous of Badtz!
Pepsi Twist is nasty.
because the red/green dichotomy has already been brought up. About twelve years ago, the local Pepsi distributor was running a Blackjack sweepstakes of sorts, where you looked for the card value at the bottom of the can (or under the bottle cap). Primary goal was to hit 21 to win 21 bucks (a face card got you a one-way plane ticket on an inter-island flight – yes, this was in Hawaii – and I can’t remember what a blackjack won because I didn’t get one). Naturally, even-numbered cards were a dime a dozen, while odd-numbered ones were in short supply.
Well, one fine Saturday afternoon, my buddy and I received intelligence to the effect that if your six-pack of MD had a particular lot number printed on the bottom of one of the cans, your chances of finding an odd-numbered card or a face card were just aout two in three. So we hit the commissaries and Post Exchanges, hunted down the magic lot number and wound up buying about six or seven cases of the stuff.
At first, we bravely attempted to actually drink each can of soda, but that proved impractical, both from a time-consumption standpoint, and from the fact that my buddy’s wife would surely not appreciate having two sailors puking green slime all over her kitchen floor. So we poured it all into a disused five-gallon Sparkletts bottle. We netted about five hundred dollars in combined winnings (cash and plane rides), and my buddy was able to give one of our just-married coworkers a honeymoon trip to one of the outer islands.
We also managed to find out just how non-thirst-inducing the sight of close to five gallons of Mountain Dew could be. It looked just like antifreeze, but we didn’t decide to test whether the resemblance extended further than looks. We also decided not to put the bottle onto a water cooler so that it wouldn’t go to waste – we just wasted it. And I don’t dring Mountain Dew any more, no matter how thirsty I think I am.
I haven’t had Code Red yet, but I do enjoy Mountain Dew slurpees.
Josta was the soda of the gods.
Hey Canada! Do they still have Pepsi Max? I really liked that stuff when I went to school up there. I wonder if they would sell Pepsi Max and Pepsi One to the same market. Seems oversaturated to me.
I’m trying to think of the best soda I ever had… hmm.
Depending on my mood, Wild Cherry pepsi really is awesome. I think I prefer Vanilla Cokes though. Available at some “Everyday” truck stops. They have a barrel of Vanilla and a barrel of Cherry syrup. It’s really interesting to be on a road trip and be drinking a 64 ounce Vanilla coke. There’s something so wrong and so right about that.

Code red is absolutely wrong. I have never had a more awful soda pop and it is like night and day to ther regular lovely, radioactive green fluorescent, anti-freeze flavor, a soda pop, yes, but so much more. It is the only thing that can keep you awake for days while you write college papers. Trust me; the mean green will be helping to educate our youth long after Code Red is but a dim, bad aftertaste in our collective conscience. Love Live and Love The MD Rocket Fuel.
You, sir, have obviously never tried Crystal Pepsi.
And I stand by my assertion that Code Red is yummy, brilliant, and caffeine-licious. Everyone that disagrees can kiss my wrinkly, jiggly ass.
WTF??? They KILLED Josta for that shit???
:wanders off muttering darkly to himself, sounding suspiciously like Milton planning to burn down Initech:
Yup… the robbed the world of the Drink Of The Gods just so they could have what is, essentially, just another Diet Pepsi.
You ungodly bastard! Take that back! You know it’s a lie, and you’re spreading horrible, horrible lies. Liar. grumble
All right, you HAVE tried Crystal Pepsi. Happy now?
Oh, my God, I had managed to forget Crystal Pepsi. Thanks SO much for reminding me…::hurl::
What makes Crystal Pepsi so horrible? I don’t remember drinking it or anything, but from what I remember it was just regular Pepsi without the caramel coloring added. Is it just the principle or did it have something else wrong with it?
Take it apart. It’s quite simple. Regular Dew has tartrazine–which even sounds like something highly flammable, and brominated vegetable oil, and it looks so lovely, so sinister. Its pastoral cognomen is a direct counterpoint to its whole postmodern, launch pad color and jangling, accelarating effect. It is thematically complex. Code Red has what? It tastes like watered down Hi-C. It was a has-been before it ever rolled off the line.
Uh… no… it doesn’t.
Anything that tries to taste like cherries is guaranteed to be vile (if they fail it will taste like bad cherries, if they succeed it will taste like cherries, which are gross).
Therefore I have not tried Code Red but fall into the gross camp.
You think that’s bad, try cherry flavored edible undies… Why they make those things with nutrasweet is beyond me. I mean, geez, it’s not like I’m eating 'em for my fucking health here.
Crystal Pepsi WAS disgusting, I tell you.
I actually think Code Red is a decent drink, and I’m a Mountain Dew fan to boot! 
The soda that REALLY made me hurl (yes, even more than Crystal Pepsi,) was that stuff Coke came out with a few years ago.
Anyone remember “OK Cola?” It was that stuff that tasted like Coke and Minute Maid mixed together. (Hmmm, Coke OWNS Minute Maid…)
:blech:

BTW- I think this should be moved to IMHO. The thread has stopped being a rant.
The worst drink I have tasted is the bottled piss put out by Shasta (there are three weird flavors). I can’t remember the names of the flavors except that they are non-descriptive and almost sound like a different language. I’m convinced that at least one of the flavors is Spanish for donkey piss, dish soap, with a twist of toe pus.
Another nasty drink is some weird combination of beer and cola that I tried in Germany. BLEEEEECK!
I must say, I have never had pop that tasted as bad as this shit i had yesterday…
Faygo Candy Apple
I don’t know what i was thinking, it was worse than the Faygo Ohana Punch( which tastes like cough syrup)
5-HT
Schoop’s Hamburgers, is a NW Indiana chain of restaurants that makes the most awesome cherry Cokes, and i know they mix up Coke with vanilla and chocolate flavor, haven’t had those yet.
