What is your favorite new soda?

[The Dork Knight]

Mine is Mountain Dew Live Wire. Pretty good stuff.

Mine is Sprite Remix. I love it, I hope it's not some "limited" thing.

I'm not a fan of cherry-flavored sodas and candies (taste like medicine), and that is what most sodas come out with. I like a tropical soda more.

Mine is Mountain Dew Live Wire. Pretty good stuff.

I haven't seen Live Wire in the stores yet, But I did get the chance to taste the others and of the ones I have sampled Sprite Remix is the best.

[Chris Wood]

Can someone explain what all these flavors are like? Half of them I've never seen before.

[Jade_GL]

Pepsi Blue came out almost the same time as Vanilla Coke. And Mountain Dew Code Red came out before Vanilla Coke as well. Why isn't Vanilla Coke on the list also? It's really just as *new* according to when they came out in the stores. I am just curious because I would definitely pick Vanilla Coke over all of these.

But if we just have these choices, I will have to say Mountain Dew Code Red is the best. I haven't seen all of the others yet, but Pepsi Blue is so nasty that it should be banished to the depths of the ocean and never mentioned again. :)

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Is Sprite Remix the one with mint flavor? If so, it's called Sprite Ice here. And I love it! :D

Mountain Dew Code Red is great, too, and this new Dr. Pepper sounds intriguing. As far as Pepsi Blue, well, if I want liquified cotton candy, I'd...actually, I'll never want that! :p

[Condiment King]

What's with the Pepsi Blue bashing? I think I'm the only one that likes it and hates Vanilla Coke. I must be in a bizarro world or something. :)

But my choice is easily Pepsi Blue .

I haven't heard of Mountain Dew Live Wire. Haven't tried Sprite Remix, *yet*. Red Fusion is very similar in taste to Dr. Pepper, IMO. I like Dr. Pepper so its still cool, but it doesn't seem original to me.

[Shnay]

I guess I'm not much of a soda person. I've never heard of Live Wire, dnL or Sprite Remix (great name :rolleyes: ), and I haven't tried any of the others.

I've heard that Vanilla Coke is supposed to be really good from several people, but it doesn't sound all that appetizing to me.

[The Falcon]

i voted for code red mainly because i don't like most of the other choices, except for the occasional red fusion. that's actually kind of good. but what is this mountain dew: livewire? it sounds as if they added more caffeine or something to it. is that what it is?

KoD

[Aximlli]

I prefer Pepsi Blue . I'd pick that over Vanilla Coke anyday of the week.

[TimTwoFace]

I've never been a fan of Mountain Dew, but I love the Code Red stuff that came out two summers ago. That stuff rocks. I look forward to trying the "Livewire" Orange stuff from the Dew company this summer - but I doubt it'll be the same.

What's Sprite Remix? In Canada we have a new product called "Sprite Ice", and it's a clear drink that is a mix of lemon, lime, and...MINT? I hate it - the first time I tried it, I felt like I'd just come back from the dentist with numb gums. Blech. :p

[czyznyck99]

Sierra Mist. Pepsi's version of 7up is not bad, but seeing how it's not on the poll, I had nothing to vote for.

Later.

[Zebi]

I'm more a fan of the diet pops; I like the Diet Coke with Lemon, Diet Vanilla Coke, and Diet Pepsi Twist.

I've tried Mountain Dew Code Red and Pepsi Blue - they're both okay, but nothing I drink too often. I haven't tried any of the others on your list, but I'd like to see what Sprite Remix/Ice is like.

[Rune]

I'm going to have to go for Vanilla Coke too, I know its not on the list but so far I've not encountered any of the others in the stores over here ... *sighs* again the UK is beverage challenged*

Guess I'll have to have an IRN-BRU instead then :p

[Damien]

Vanilla Coke. Ooohhh yeah.....

When it comes to the poll up at the top, I'm gonna say Pepsi Blue.

[Jaguar]

Out of those: Sprite Remix.
Vanilla Coke rules over all though.

[dendawg]

Definitely Sprite Remix. MD Livewire tastes like watered down Sunkist, IMHO.

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

What's Sprite Remix?
Well, since no one seems to want to tell us, I looked it up. This link (http://www.bevnet.com/news/2003/04-01-2003-spritevsdew.asp) will explain to you what Sprite Remix is. It's not at all what we thought it might be! Here's a funny description I found for it: "Sprite Remix is a fruity, Caribbean "mangos and tangos" twist on regular lemon and lime soft drinks. You'll be tempted to stick a little umbrella in it. It's like soaking up the sun on a beach in Jamaica, without somebody trying to sell you "Rotex" watches out of a gym bag." :p

The same article, dated May 1, states that "Sprite Ice is scheduled to be introduced in Europe this spring. Coke isn't saying when, or even if, Sprite Ice is headed stateside." It's the first flavor extension for Sprite products marketed in Canada. It's also available in Belgium. In case anyone is wondering what it looks like, here it is:

[Salvor]

:eek: I didn't even know those sodas you listed even existed! Of course I only drink whisky so... :p

[Shnay]

I still have no idea what dnL is. I looked up the official site, and after some weird flash animations, I still have no idea what it is. The best description I can get is that it's a "strong, full-flavored soft drink guarenteed to flip your perspective on life and give you a big kick of green."

Umm...'k.

Anyone try this yet? Did you receive a "big kick of green?"

[The Dork Knight]

Sorry, forgot about Vanilla Coke! Could a mod edit the poll and add it in?

[Angel_Baby]

I think my favorite is Sprite Remix! It is awsome but that Mt. Dew Live Wire sounds interesting! I like all of the sodas up there but Sprite Remix is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~jenn :p

[Parallax]

I couldn't live with out Mountain Dew: Code Red. Haven't seen MD: Live Wire.

[Legolas's_Woman]

i just tried a Sprite Remix last night and it was AWESOME!!! it's now one of my favorite drinks. i liked the tropical burst of flava in my mouth!

Now I must taste this Sprite Ice. How come the revival of the new variety of Hawian Punch Flavors isn't on this list ?

[Shnay]

How come the revival of the new variety of Hawian Punch Flavors isn't on this list ?

Maybe because Hawaiian Punch isn't a soda? Just a guess.;)

[Chris Wood]

How come the revival of the new variety of Hawian Punch Flavors isn't on this list ?

I miss Sparkling Hawaiian Punch. I don't care for the uncarbonated variety.

[The Landstander]

I'm waiting to try Sprite Remix before I vote in this one.

(Hmm...why did that sound mildly pathetic?)

[EightOh]

Umm...'k.I think that's the most coherent response anyone could possibly come up with when confronted with that statement. Well played. :D

Anyone try this yet? Did you receive a "big kick of green?"TZ's own Karl Olson reviewed (http://www.bfcdesigns.com/karl/7upside.htm) it on his website. :)

[Drachentöter]

I have yet to taste MD: Live Wire or dnL.

Spirte Remix is good every once in a while. It'd be very easy to get sick of it though. It's kind of like..sparkling water...o.O

Vanilla Coke is awesome, but not the best.

The best is Mountain Dew: Code Red.

*mouth waters*

[turbomog007]

I tasted all of the sodas on that list :) some more recently than others and all of the were good but the best was Dr. Pepper: Red Fusion cause it is like its father Dr. Pepper but different but in a good way

[drippynmeatwad]

poor dnL has no love! I've heard of it, but never tasted it. I love sprite remix. :)

[Meow]

Out of those choices, I'd say Mountain Dew Code Red.

[Boy Wonder]

Gotta love Mountain Dew Red. So good..........

The weirdest soda I had is Goya (yes, the bean company) Orange soda. Just weird.

[PeppeRaskell1]

I've tried most of the new sodas, but my personal favorite right now is Sierra Mist. We started getting it last year in the soda fountain of our local KFC. Now it's available at the Shop-Rite where I work.

Sprite Remix (the tropical flavor) is okay, but I don't like it nearly as much as Sierra Mist.

But a beverage I've really started flipping out over lately is not even a soda product, but a milk beverage called Hershey's Milkshakes. I've tried two of the three flavors, and Creamy Chocolate is definitely my favorite. Last time I tried it, I paid 29 cents, and it's regularly anywhere from $1.08 (local Wal-Mart) to $1.39 (my Shop-rite).

Sorry, forgot about Vanilla Coke! Could a mod edit the poll and add it in?Well I feel a lot better now that I can vote for Vanilla Coke. ;)

I've liked it ever since it came out, but I've dang near converted to Diet Vanilla Coke. Not only does the lack of empty calories help prevent a physique like the character I'm named after, but I also find it to be not quite as sweet and less acidic than plain ol' Diet Coke. It has all that great vanilla flavor and none of the sugar! ;) If I'm working on something late at night I drink the stuff like it's water (no that probably isn't healthy).

When I have to work one of the night shifts at my hall's front desk all it takes it 40 ounces of Diet Vanilla Coke to get me through it.

Thanks caffeine. :p

[The Landstander]

I just tried Sprite Remix...gotta go with that. The only one on the list I haven't tried yet is upsidedown 7up.

[kiddiesunshine]

I had a bottle of Sprite Remix yesterday and I have to say that stuff is pretty good. It's Sprite, but with a light tropical fruit taste thrown in. Good stuff.
