Author Topic: Coke and Pepsi "Remix" popular drinks Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-27-2003 12:23 AM                     Here we go again. In an effort to continue the war for shelf-space, Coke announced "Tropical Sprite Remix." Pepsi was quick to return fire by realeasing orange "LiveWire," the third installment of the "Mountain Dew Trilogy" Tropical Sprite Remix Mountain Dew: LiveWire I only ask that they bring back my beloved Crystal Pepsi What's next? "CokeRetro" (80's "New Formula")  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 02-27-2003 12:31 AM                     I'll take any Mountain Dew that I can get!

Our Mountain Dew won't satisfy your addiction.  |  IP: Logged William Leland III Master Film Handler Posts: 336 From: Charleston, SC, Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-27-2003 09:01 AM                        Sweet Tea is the drink for me. Can;t drink Pepsi or Coke causes me to get heartburn.  |  IP: Logged Greg Borr Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Watervliet, MI Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-27-2003 10:42 AM                        Moutain Dew without Caffeine, surely you jest! Does it even sell? I lived in North Carolina for a time and became addicted to Sweet Tea, hard to find here in Michigan, so Mountain Dew it is. Another drink I enjoyed in the Carolinas was Cheerwine, a cherry flavored soda, I lived in Salisbury, NC and Carolina Beverage was one of our customers, very interesting history, too bad they haven't made it to Michigan yet.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-02-2003 12:53 PM                        Greg, Sweet Tea is no problem.. make it at home... get Lipton Cold Brew... no heating of water needed... let two bags soak in 1gl water for 15 minutes or so.. stir.. voila.... southern style sweet tea... I don't know HOW anyone drinks unsweetened tea...  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-02-2003 07:13 PM                     I shun you all! COKE!!!  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-02-2003 07:17 PM                        I still have customers who complain that we don't have Tab pouring from our fountains anymore. I think we stopped offering Tab in 1985. Mountain Dew Code Red is okay I suppose, but I'm still partial to the original.  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-02-2003 08:06 PM                        MELLO YELLO, KEEP IT SMOOTH!

Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 03-03-2003 10:11 AM                        Even though I tend to refer to Mountain Dew as Mountain Spew, the Code Red variety is ok. One thing I kinda miss about someplace I used to work is having Surge available on the fountain - that stuff gets you right wound up! Lipton Cold Brew is decent, but when it comes to iced tea, my favorite has got to be Arizona. Lately my preferred carbonated beverages have been Dr Pepper Red Fusion, Fresca, and Barq's Root Beer - in a frosty mug.  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-03-2003 11:33 AM                        I haven't figured out what DP Red Fusion is supposed to taste like. It just tastes like Dr. Pepper that's been sitting out for a few days to me.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

Fresca has been around forever but it seems like Coca Cola doesn't promote it much, if at all. Are you sure Tab and Diet Coke are the same thing? I haven't had a Tab in a LONG time, but I don't recall it tasting like Diet Coke...  |  IP: Logged
