Do you remember....?

[Fierce Critter]

Is there something from the past you don't see much of anymore, if at all?

For instance, Squirt soda. It was a grapefruit-flavored citrus soda, and I remember it 'cause it was a popular mixer at family parties (Gin & Squirt). Not sure it's even made anymore.

Faygo had a nasty, diet-flavored version called Frosh.

You dont see Squirt anymore? Maybe it's a southeren thing, because it's sold everywhere here and I have as yet to go to a bar where it's not a standard mixer.

[phee]

Faygo Arctic Sun was also god awful.

After I posted this, I did a search and came up with a fan website. Apparently, it's bottled by a company in Michigan, and even they don't have a site for it.

From what I read, it's "endangered". Apparently not being sold on the east coast anymore, so that's probably why I don't see it down here.

"Arctic Sun"... I remember the name, but what flavor was it?

[phee]

Arctic Sun... It kinda tastes like citris, wood, and turpentine>

[Jarodaka]

Squirt is endangered? Damn you, Cadbury Schweppes!

[LuluVox]

Clear Pepsi!

So, not only can you drink it, but strip your furniture with a lemony-fresh scent? Where do I sign up?!?

[phee]

I don't think they make it anymore?

[Brenda Starrr]

But, I have a footlocker I need to refinish, and I'm thirsty!

[Head Wreck]

cherry 7 up

corona pops (used to be a pop-man who travelled round and you payed for pop and placed a peposit on the large glass bottles.

fizz and flavours better kep in glass...

[Fierce Critter]

Gee, Jarod. This Squirt fanpage paints a pretty dismal picture of Squirt's availability country-wide. Thanks for letting us know the future of Squirt consumption isn't necessarily quite as imminent as we might have thought! :grin:

[torn asunder]

i see squirt diet squirt, and ruby red all over the place...

[SomeDanGuy]

Squirt is endangered??? I had no idea! It's always plentiful at stores near me and there is a constant supply in my fridge at all times. I had no idea how lucky I am....

Also:

Jolt cola.

Squirt is bottled in every state it is sold in, the syrup is made in Georgia by a little company you may have heard of http://www.coca-cola.com They distribute the syrup to local bottling companies, who distribute to the stores and vending companys. Just like the rest of their soda products.

What I miss... Nihi soda. Peach Nihi..mmmmmmmmm

[Fierce Critter]

No Squirt in NC. But then again, there aren't a LOT of things in NC that are available in Michigan.

Add to the list: Tootsie Pop Drops. Damn, those were good when you didn't want to have to have a damned sucker sticking outta your face.

[JaneDead]

i miss jello pudding pops too. those where good.

[LadyWindstone]

I miss home made food. Don't get that much anymore.

[phee]

Can you not make food in your home?

[spacin]

I miss blue pepsi

It was good with vodka for the old parking structure parties we had before going in to CC back in the day.

For that matter I've noticed the structure is closed now too.

:unhappy:

[Black Sunday]

How about New York Seltzer? Apparently it still exists but not in the same 10 ounce glass containers but rather a typical 16 ounce plastic container. I havn't seen it in stores since about 1988 though. Anyone else remember it?

How about girbaud Jeans? Z Cavarricci pants? IOU pants?

Now there are still a couple of Hardees around metro Detroit but before they were all over. I know it's still a National chain but in Michigan they have really declined.

[JaneDead]

i remember and miss new york seltzer. i actually thought i saw it today but it was not it.

[Darque Knight]

I'm just happy that I can still get Jolt at the local 7-11s.

I have noticed a complete lack of Doublemint and Big Red advertisements.

I don't know what I had for Wrigleys, but there must be something. As a pre/teen, a Big Red commercial was about equal to an R rated movie.
