I went to Housewives Market today, and have just enjoyed a pleasure from childhood. A Nehi Peach Soda. Anybody remember those? I hadn’t seen one in ages. When I got home I put it in the freezer to get a good chill on it, then drank it down. I only bought one What was I thinking? Now I’m jonesing for more. Barring that a Faygo Red Pop would do. But I can’t get one of thse either because as far as I know you can’t get them in California.
Have you considered ordering online?
Disclaimer: I’ve never used this site, as I can get most of the soda I like locally. May be worth a shot, though.
See that’s why I hang out here. Thanks HH they sell them both.
The OP inspired me to have a quick look on the Web to see what’s become of one of my own childhood faves, RC Cola. It’s still around, it turns out, now under the ownership of Cadbury Schweppes Plc.
I had not realized until checking out some RC Cola history just now that the same company also made Nehi soft drinks - indeed, the company was called Nehi Corp. from 1928 until the name was changed to Royal Crown Cola Co. sometime in the late '50s or early '60s. Quite the trailblazer, too, according to the company website - it came up with the first diet cola (Diet Rite), among other things.
Bonus factoid: Remember that idiotic rumor going around after 9/11 that Osama bin Laden owned Snapple? Cadbury Schweppes owns that too, and owned it at the time of 9/11.

Diet Rite White Grape Soda is cola crack! I live in the land of RC Cola and buy the stuff by the case. RC Cola and a Moon Pie… yummmmmmmmm… or peanuts in an RC… mmmmmmmmmmm…

Grape Nehi. Radar was not as dumb as he looked…
Wish I could find Cherry Smash.

I have never had this, having never heard of it. Would you please bring some to FCM’s festaway tomorrow? I’d love to try it.
Hanh?! You are talking about ‘goobers’ in cola, right (if I have my Southernisms correct)!!! The little underground legumes that elephants love? How…why…whaaaaa? Different.
Dunno if I’d like to try that. :eek:
[/screeching halt]
screech-owl peanuts in cola is a food of the gods. You’d be sooooo addicted!
Mmm, peach soda. My mom used to make a peach cake that had peach soda in it. Hasn’t made one in a while. makes a note to beg mother for cake
It’s good. Really. I have no idea why, but it’s good.
Good, because I hope it’s a lot better than honey-roasted soy nuts in a glass of Kirin lager. I just tried that, and it’s not so good.
That’s just what I was missing. You know how you have to have things together, like Strawberry soda with fried chicken? I never had a snack to go with my Nehi peach. Now I just gotta figure out where to get a peach cake.
