BBTV Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanks Leopard. I grew up on A-Treat. Love the sasparilla.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I love RC Cola so much. I'm pretty sure I love the taste, but I especially love the logo. Of all the scenes from Taxi Driver, this stands out the most to me: "We don't have Coca Cola. Royal Crown's all we got." 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also quit, mainly because the county implemented a tax on pop and other sugary drinks. A penny an ounce. It got repealed though, which is good.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 While the logo is nothing special, this soda is awesome. It's Polar Diet Double Fudge soda: This is simply amazing. It's a sensual delight -- when you open the bottle, the aroma is beautiful. And then the taste is so rich; it's like an ice cream soda. Anyone who thinks that he or she does not like diet soda should try this. It is outstanding. And, just to keep it on topic: the interesting part of the logo is the shape of the polar bear.

I think the first two cans are fauxbacks, the third was used in the '90s, and the last one is what they use today. Welcome to the Carolinas! Cheerwine is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and all of the cans you see are previous logos (no fauxbacks). From left to right, the logos date to: late 1970s-1980s, pre-1970s, 1990s (this is the one I remember fondly), and 2009-present. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a real treat. It's sort of a 75% Cherry Coke/25% Dr. Pepper, but better than the sum of its parts. It's very carbonated but also goes flat rather quickly, so drink it fast. I think I'm going to go have one now!

leopard88 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I almost forgot about this stuff, which was popular around Baltimore when I was growing up (i.e., way back in the 70s) -- Sadly, it looks like this now (and is hard to find) - Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seemed to be the soda of choice at fraternity cocktail parties in the 80s because the beer and liquor distributors would deliver it. A-Treat Grapefruit Soda's the best. My parents used to buy that all the time when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cel-Ray has been my favorite soda since I was a little kid. Difficult to describe, since it's technically celery flavored soda, and definitely not for everyone, but I LOVE it.

Dr. Brown's is rather easily acquired in NC, usually from delis/grocery stores, rarely gas stations/convenience stores. Their Diet Black Cherry is the business.
