Two sodas I can think of right now are Simba, Coke's attempt to carve a slice of the Mountain Dew market in the '70s...and a small-potatoes regional soft drink, Dr Nut. That drink has fascinated me since I read John Kennedy Toole's A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES--it's Ignatius Reilly's favorite drink, and I thought it was fictitious until I chanced on an old ad for it in a magazine. It apparently was a New Orleans-based brand that had an almond flavor to it.

Let’s goooooo sodas are next . I was wondering when you would upload the next video in 2023, but now it’s here, how exciting I love Coca Cola, and Pepsi the most. I made a list of some cool video ideas. Some of these suggestions are old but some are new. - Forgotten Hardware Stores - The Many Faces Of Bon Ton - Forgotten Sports Stores - The Mills Cooperation Malls P1 - The Mills Cooperation Malls P2 - The Mills Cooperation Malls P3 - Forgotten Discount Stores - Forgotten Shoe Stores - Forgotten Department Stores P5. As you can see some of these suggestions are old. While some like the Hardware store, and Discount Store are new suggestions. I hope you think that these are still great ideas for a video, and also hoping I’m not giving you stress, I just love helping with suggestions. Have a wonderful day ❤😊👍

Thank You for being a great Supporter of the Channel. 😃 The first three you listed have been written out for about a year and hope to have those out by the Spring of 2023. Shoe Stores are a Great Idea as well as Discount Stores which are featured in many of the Forgotten Department Stores Videos. Mills Corporation is an amazing idea for sure.

This opened with a colossal forehead slap for me! As it started, I thought the first entry sounded damned familiar. I must have seen the ad for it back then. But then it hit me... *RONDO - The Thirst Crusher* is totally the inspiration for *BRAWNDO - The Thirst Mutilator* from IDIOCRACY! Dang.

Saw your reply to me on the previous vid. From this one I remember drinking Josta, Orbitz, and OK Soda in the '90s. Not sure I drank these but I also remember Slice and Jolt (although I may just remember the parodies of Jolt), and although not a soda, there was an image of a bottle of Fruitopia during either the Josta or OK segment, which I'm also pretty sure I had a few bottles of back in the day.

I don't drink sodas anymore - they did more than enough damage to my teeth, thank you very much. 2:30 But I still liked "7UP-Gold." I enjoyed its spicy flavor (it had kind of a cinnamony taste). Heard it vanished supposedly because people thought it looked like urine. Ah well.

Between my two roommates and I in the navy, a case of Pepsi barely lasted a day and a half. Sorry to see Sierra Mist go, I wouldn't have tried it but being diabetic and it was one of the few selections they would give me. It was hard to find on the shelves.. BARQs root beer is only canned, I used to drink it like mad, so I moved, and finally got a delivery person to special order me some, it wasn't the same.. I took a plastic condiment squeeze bottle you might put out for a picnic, and put cinnamon whisky in it, one squirt and mmm so much better.. but once those 3 12 packs were gone, that was it. We had a convenience store in a semi-rural area a few doors from one of my bosses, one day she had a can of jolt and she told me she got it from Goosey Ganders.. this was before energy shots and drinks hit the market.. Now I can't find Diet Dr Pepper in a single McDonald's... they stopped carrying it for energy beverages.. I've got two places I can't stomach their Diet Dr Pepper.. sour stomach the whole night, enough to forego dinner.
