truth bombs

it's basically 50/50 coke/orange with a splash of dr. pepper.

Everything about OK soda was ridiculous except maybe the Clowes illustrations on a lot of the cans.

The marketing is so annoying.

I do remember thinking it tasted pretty good though.

marketing WAS so annoying, rather

"The drink's slogan was "Things are going to be OK.""

PBR tastes better than most cheapish beers imo

xp lol the same guy also created fruitopia!

really had his finger on the pulse of the 90s

hahahaha I'll say.

Funny cause reading about it now it doesn't seem to have been test marketed in NY but I distinctly remember reading about it at the time and then buying some to see what it tasted like. Must have been on a trip somewhere.

for life bitches.

oh man, I spent way too much time trying to convince myself that I liked Fruitopia

i drank a ton of fruitopia in middle school. typical middle school lunch: large order of tater tots with too much salt, fruitopia, maybe a muffin.

xxp ian otm

lol dan actually also otm

I just remember there was one flavor that didn't taste like sweet death and it was not one of the ones that survived the Great Fruitopia Flavor Cull when the beverage failed to dominate the market; I think it was citrusy...?

Anyway, when the strawberry sugar bomb flavor became the only one you could find, I felt a huge weight of sugar lift off of my shoulders.

fyi when you buy Coors you're supporting the Heritage Foundation

In addition to the popular Strawberry Passion Awareness, other flavors included The Grape Beyond, Tangerine Wavelength, Citrus Excursion, Fruit Integration, Pink Lemonade Euphoria, Lemonade Love & Hope, Raspberry Psychic Lemonade, and Beachside Blast.

It was either Citrus Excursion or Fruit Integration; I suspect the latter because it has the word "Integration" in the title and at the time I was all about making as many life choices as possible that would make my life more closely resemble a gothy Benetton ad.

fyi when you buy pbr you are indirectly doing same:

The company (MillerCoors) is also tasked with brewing brands of beer and lager that are owned by Pabst Brewing Company.

ian otm but also gr80 otm so I am torn. Can I still buy Budweiser with a reasonably clear conscience?

here are more companies gr80 needs to boycott:

There's defence contractors Boeing and Lockheed Martin, finance and insurance companies such as Allstate Insurance, Mortgage Insurance Companies of America, and American International Group (AIG), auto company Honda, tobacco company Altria Group (Philip Morris), drug and medical companies Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, oil companies ChevronTexaco and Exxon Mobil, software giant Microsoft, and chipping in over $100,000 each, Alticor (Amway), Pfizer, PhRMA, and United Parcel Service (UPS). [2]

millercoors also supported/supporting gov. scott walker

and i've got love for high life, but it's incredibly easy to buy good non-millercoors/pabst beer.

August A. Busch III, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Anheuser-Busch, is a Bush Ranger having raised at least $200,000 for Bush in the 2004 election. [2]

i'm not sure what we're talking about but i hope i can still buy these arizona green tea cans

Sigh.

also lol, aside from UPS and Microsoft it seems I already have an unintentional boycott of companies who donate to the Heritage Foundation going as I try to avoid pretty much every organization listed there just on GP

i ain't gonna play sun city

i only give money to people who use it to fuck bitches and get more money

"mickeysluttin.jpg"?

:(

i just link em, i don't write em.
mickey's advertising in the 90's was hella dumb; surprised they didn't get more market share
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iAMnHPtQL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

$4 all day every day

the old bottles were designed to look like grenades, perfect for chucking at good friends at parties.

that's a good price! $5 is the norm here, though you get a "better" brand of bourbon

narragansett is owned by an advertising agency. the same company that invented hendrick's gin.

they used to be known as gyro worldwide and in the 90's they were all rad and skateboard-y. now they are all about faux-olde-tymey.
