Nehi! When I was a little kid...they used to sell this stuff in the trailer park near 3 Mile Lake. There was one of those old pop machines where you put in a dime and a nickel,and you could grab the neck of the soda bottle and yank it out. It was an old machine,and my brother Mike used to grab a neck,and I would grab a neck....and with his right hand he would drop in 15 cents. We would both yank at the same time...and get two pops for the price of one!

It was good pop. They had flavors like Black Cherry, Grape, Cola,Lemon Lime,...lotsa them!

Actually you can still buy Nehi from Amazon.

Also they still sell it in some stores here where I live in Tuscaloosa,AL. it's rare you see them but you do find them on rare occasions.

wow chocolate dr pepper.  I used to drink chocalte coke, it's just coke with chocolatee syrup.


and black cows!!  root beer and vanilla ice cream  :cheers:

When I was a kid, my grandfther and 2 sets of aunts and uncles lived in a 3 family home in Everett, Massachusetts.  They had cases of soda (in real glass bottles with the top you needed to open with a bottle opener!) delivered to the house every week.  The soda company was called "Pelco" and I remember they had quite a few different flavors - - cola, ginger ale, grape, orange, lemon lime, root beer, etc.  One of the quirky things about Pelco was it seemed that at least one bottle in every case had a chip or crack in the glass.  In those days, no one really cared or worried about it.  Today, the company would get sued hundreds of times . . .

My name is Ed, and I liked OK Cola.

I've always wanted to try "New Coke", since I enjoy sooooo many things sooooo many other people don't. X)

not to divert into the political arena,  but soda today is not what is used to be because it's made with corn syrup instead of sugar.  If you go to mexico or really any other country you can get real coke and I'm told it's superior.

I can't say how they are now but about 20 years ago when I was in Mexico, all the sfot drinks tasted rather flat. It seemed they had little to no carbonation at all.

meQal-  were they American soft drinks?  I mean lke if you buy coke or pepsi in another country it's made with sugar not high fructose corn syrup

I've had Coke in other countries and one thing that definitely makes it better is you can frequently get it in real glass bottles (unlike the U.S. where the vast majority of the Coke you find is in plastic bottles or cans).

If you mean American brand names, yes most were. If you mean bottled in the US and imported into Mexico,  then the answer is no. They were bottled in Mexico. I was in Cancun but was going into a lot of places where locals went. Even went to the grocery store/market a few times. The only thing that made the colas I got down there bearable was a slcie of lime and a shot of rum in it.

interesting.

I brought this up in another thread, and said that you could buy imported Coke made with sugar in the Mexican section of grocery stores, and I believe Susan told me that Mexico had gone the way of corn-syrup as well.  Not positive about that, though; maybe she'll see this thread and give us the full story.

there is an amazing documentary called "king corn"  that is all about how there is corn in dmaned near everything we eat become of some government mandate that every last acrte in the world have corn growing on it.  it's totally unhealthy to say the least as is shown in great detail in the film

true, i live in texas so we have the authentic mexican soda here but if you read the label..HFCS.

HFCS took over in the latest, some think "new coke" was a conspiracy to make the public forget the taste of coke with sugar so they could bring back classic coke months and months later with HFCS and nobody would be able to tell.  HFCS is cheaper and easier. It's dangerous stuff, it's in EVERYTHING. Seriously, go into your kitchen and try to find anything that doesn't have it. Ketchup, crackers, cereal, snacks, tv dinners. Nothing like having chemically engineered crap replacing sugar. And if that doesn't give you cancer than aspertame will


Jones Soda and Goose island still use real cane sugar.

The first thing I looked at, Tequila, has no corn syrup. Jose Cuervo for the WIN! :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr:

It's officially a health food!

even if it isn't a health food, it's still a life saver....

It's good for the soul I tell ya'

Down in Dublin, TX, the Dr Pepper bottling plant still makes their soda with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar . . .  truly the ambrosia of the gods.

The cola from Red Bull uses Sugar instead of corn syrup.  It's not that shabby but it's a bit too pricey a can of it.

From my understanding, SOME Mexican coke uses corn syrup, some uses sugar.  I know the grocery by me that I've bought Mexican coke from - it only listed sugar as an ingredient.  And it did taste sweeter, though the difference isn't enormous.  I think part of this, or maybe all of it, is because it was in a glass bottle.  They also had Coke from...  I think it was Sweden, and that also tasted different.

On another note, Mr. Pibb has apparently been replaced by Pibb Xtra, but they're basically the same.  Both taste like Dr. Pepper anyway.

Also, I believe there is a version of Mountain Dew that uses real sugar now.

there are corn subsidies and sugar tariffs.  there should be neither subsidies nor tariffs.  on anything

I know Pepsi released a retro version of Pepsi that uses real sugar for a limited time, so I will have to see if the store has it today and check it out.

Still barely around, getting really hard to find... KICKAPOO JOY JUICE

I just tried "retro" Mountain Dew.  It did taste noticeably different.  Sharper and crisper in sweetness.  It was good, actually.

Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge. I actually shot-gunned a 6-pack , WARM, on a bet. Hey we were kids. I wish I had some tequila to burn the horrible taste out of my mouth.

  There might have been a diet Peanut-Butter chocolate fudge version of this drink. Hopefully, that was only a hallucination.
