Restaurants and fast food are part of the soda wars that has intense competition. Coke and Pepsi both seek to be exclusive vendors in those venues. My father was proud that his restaurant offered both. He mentioned that when the account managers would tell him "You really should carry only one", he'd respond "So, should I drop yours?" Not a offer that either took.

One gap in the Mountain Dew story is that Coca-Cola's _first_ answer to it was Mello Yello, in 1979. This is probably Coke's most successful answer to Mountain Dew, and is still available in a decent number of markets (mostly in the eastern part of the US). I'd still say that Mountain Dew was the clear winner in that particular competition though.

Its sad that parents got upset about them having higher caffeine. It was quite a funny time to live. Most sodas already had Caffeine, and Adults drank unholy amount of caffeine through coffee and yet they demonized caffeinated soft drinks. Basically all energy drinks were looked down upon by parents. Vault was probably killed because of that, and it prevented Coke or Pepsi from properly getting involved in that space allowing a lot of competition in the energy drink market where Coke and Pepsi eventually had to acquire their own energy drink brand, and less than 10 years later when parents failed to stop energy drinks, Pepsi created Mountain Dew Kickstart which is basically what Vault/Surge was.

Phenomenal video - I would love to see a future video on Mountain Dew specifically. I feel that brand is a perfect encapsulation of how beverage brands attempt to make variants. Many know the popular Code Red and Voltage flavors, but actually there are over 50 different variants under the Mountain Dew brand. And then PepsiCo uses different distribution strategies to distinguish the flavors. Some are only sold in different regions of the country (White Out), some are only sold different times of the year (VooDew, Holiday Brew, Gingerbread Snap’d, DewSA, Fruit Quake, Summer Freeze) and some are only sold at a particular store (Baja blast at Taco Bell, sweet lighting at KFC-both former PepsiCo Subsidiaries-Dark Berry Bash at Applebees, Thrashed apple at Kroger, uproar at food Lion, legend at BW3). Overall the variety seems to be good for all parties involved. Consumers get to enjoy a huge variety of sodas (or increasing the likelihood that one of their absolute favorite flavors will be sold), restaurants have flavors unique to their store (bringing customers in who might shop elsewhere), and PepsiCo can increase overall brand sales thru novelty while having an incentive for restaurants to carry Pepsi products over Coke

Cherry Coke was the only one to actually win me over. I don't even like regular coke or pepsi, but something about cherry coke really did it for me. I weirdly liked Surge to boot. I was bummed it vanished. When they did Aha and Bubly, Shasta actually started selling some FANTASTIC unsweetened carbonated flavored waters. Their root beer was honestly great, and their Dr Shasta flavor tasted more like Dr Pepper than diet Doctor Pepper, and with no sweetener of any kind. The fact that they discontinued the lines was a true tragedy to me. The fact they did regular soda flavors instead of just fruit (like the big companies) and that they did it VERY WELL... it shocks me it didn't do well.

I was always a Pepsi person, but my favorite drink is a Coke with Cherries in it. You can basically only get it at a bar or make it at home. They pour some of the cherry juice in with like 5 maraschino cherries. The bite of a coke just pairs really well with the sweetness of the cherries. Regular Cherry Coke can't really compare, but its better than Wild Cherry Pepsi (which is an abomination).

You missed a couple, like Pepsi’s attempt at a low calorie soda in the late 70s/early 80s called “Pepsi Light.” It was flavored with a bit of lemon and had a slightly lower sugar content, I think. (Very old memories!) Also, doesn’t Coke own Mello-Yello? I always assumed that was their “citrus” entry. Surge was definitely an attempt to hit Mountain Dew hard, but it also felt like a way to strike back at Jolt Cola-which had twice the sugar and twice the caffeine (supposedly) of other sodas. In related news, I feel old. 😅

On thing that I’m surprised was not discussed in this video is fast food market share. Currently, as far as I know, the only places you can get Pepsi from in terms of fast food in the U.S. are from the chains owned by Pepsi (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell). It’s interesting to see this happen since it does operate as a form of advertising since people have to try your drink if it’s the only option. Edit: In the U.S.

I loved SURGE soda. At the time, I worked at a grocery store and in this store we had a small cafe. When they were building it and setting up their soda machine, I petitioned for SURGE to be given a spigot on the fountain. After much MUCH bellyaching by me and... really no one else, I got my SURGE spigot. I think I may have been the only one to ever use it, but I bought a large fountain SURGE every single day that I worked there up until the cafe closed around 2 years later.

I work in pepsico and coke plants doing pipe installation and the difference in quality between a coke and Pepsi plant is night and day. Similar production levels though. Mt dew really does carry their beverage line for Pepsico and at a coke plant, it's amazing how much coke classic they make

I was a kid when my mom brought home 'Pepsi light' in 1976; basically lemon pepsi. But it wasnt for sale yet. She worked at pepsico and it was in development stage at the time, so she was handing out samples to friends. I loved it, and was even a big fan of Pepsi Twist in the early 2000s! Before that it was always Mountain Dew. To my pallette, Coke tastes like incongrous different chemicals mixed together, but Pepsi tastes le its something more, perhaps more complete of a flavor. I loved Tab, but hated Diet Coke and diet pepsi.

Just want to point out that when all these sodas changed to "High Fructose Corn Syrup", Pepsi's "Sierra Mist" Still used Cane Sugar, which was something I really Valued. However I WOULD later realize that despite using Cane Sugar, the actual amount of grams of sugar in Sierra Mist was 2-3x What was in Sprite or 7UP, which was not something I could just ignore
@badcatalex
10 ай бұрын
Correction: Sierra Mist used HFCS from launch until 2010, then changed to cane sugar from 2010 to 2014. From 2014 to 2016, it used a mixture of Stevia and cane sugar. For the 2016 thru 2018 variant as Mist Twist, it reverted to HFCS. From the 2018 to 2023 final version as Sierra Mist, it used cane sugar once more.

Yeah I'm gonna call bullshit on that 2x - 3x the amount of sugar. I don't doubt it had a bit more sugar, but 2x - 3x is an outrageous over-exaggeration.
