The worst pop that I have ever had was Faygo Redpop[sup]TM[/sup]. I had it probably 10 years ago and can still remember the awful taste. I have only seen it once since then, safely tucked away in PA where it belongs.
Yeah, my vote goes for that Pepsi Blue stuff. I have friends who adore it, but it thoroughly revolts me. Indescribably nasty.
Call me a freak, but I also despise Mountain Dew. Can’t stand it. Eww.

Sorry, but nasty as some of those sound, Tab still takes pride of place, for tradition’s sake if nothing else. It was like swilling battery acid.

Tamerlane is right, Tab blows.
Horrid. ** Unca Cecil** was right–it does taste like petrochemicals…or flyspray!
Ever taste Vick’s Vapor Rub? Add carbonated water, sugar, and a tinge of rubber cement and you have what Moxie tastes like.
And add me to the chorus of disapproval on Tab (or any other saccharine-sweetened soda). I’m surprised it’s still being sold (unless people are using it as an ipecac).
Faygo RedPop was bad, but Fresca is even worse.
I remember some hoopla many months ago on National Public Radio when some scottish soft drink called “Irn Bru” was going to start selling in the eastern USA. Still haven’t seen any around here on the West Coast. “Irn Bru” is supposed to actually contain small amounts of iron. Anyone have the scoop on that?
I adore Tab, and I adore almost all Faygo products.
I hate Coke and Diet Coke, and Sprite. YUCK.
Years ago, my vote would have gone to Tab (not sure they make it anymore). Now it would have to be Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi. You can only take so many things out before it’s not worth drinking anymore.
Dr Pepper, a Texas delight, is one of the finest soft drinks to ever grace this pitiful planet.
nightsong (notice the lower case), if you wish to denigrate this product, please note that “Dr” is NOT followed by any punctuation.
Yankee.
THANK YOU! I was about to say the same thing. I first tasted that at Epcot last month and had to spit it out when I tasted it. All of the other ones (Chinese Watermelon soda? Mmmmm!!!) were pretty good, but this one was RANCID!
I cannot imagine a worse tasting soda. Or a worse taste period.
Tab should be in the “Foul Soda Hall of Fame.” Never could drink that stuff. I havn’t seen it around in a long time. Try Diet Rite soda for closeness of nastiness.
Yup, Buck The Diver, I’m a Yankee all right! (But apparently not a ‘Damn Yankee’, for reasons I still can’t figure out.)
What I don’t get is my Dad loves Dr Pepper… (This time keeps the fingers from automatically adding the . to Dr.)
(end slight hijack)
If anyone wants, I can send them a 12 pack of Tab for 3.14 plus shipping if you want to remember the 70s. That is the most vile tasteing stuff other than Dr Browns Diet Fudge cream soda.
Anyone remember Crystal Pepsi, or something similarly named?
Tasted like the bile of Satan.
Yup. My school has a Fanta vending machine. Most people used it for a while when they first got it in the spring since drinks were $0.10 cheaper from it, but not many purchases any more. I bought a grape Fanta and couldn’t finish it. Ugh.
Oh thank you, Arnold Winkelried, for bringing up that lovely memory. I had the chance to sample a can of Diet IRN-BRU on a trip to Scotland a few years ago. Yeeeeeech. It tastes like carbonated bubblegum.
This article discusses the concoction’s history and says that it contains “the barest whiff of iron in the form of ammonium ferric citrate”.
Yum?
I’m another Texan and a Dr Pepper lover, but I tried Dr Pepper’s new drink, “Red Fusion” and it is pretty bad. Like how I imagine anti-freeze would taste.
I’m glad to see that we’re 30-some-odd posts into this and nobody has defamed the wonderful handover cure that normally gets mentioned in these threads. I want to give a preemptive warning against anyone speaking ill of Big Red.
Just don’t even try it.
You’ve been warned.
“handover”?
