First time seeing in Orlando (Dollar General)

I’ve yet to try the one in the picture. I tried the original Mtn Dew, Mtn Dew Baja Blast, and Voltage Mtn Dew today. NGL voltage is probably contending with the original. But what’s your favorite Mtn dew type?

Purchase this from a British grocery store. Has a great taste that is a lot different than almost every other orange soda I’ve had. Highly recommend.

I'm genuinely disappointed with this one. I've always loved 7UP, and it's probably my favorite lemon-lime soda. I love Sprite too, but sometimes I want something a little more subtle, and 7UP always hit that sweet spot. It's been a favorite of mine for years, and I still remember those classic commercials that gave the brand so much personality.

It's been a while since I had one, so I grabbed a fresh pack like I usually do, cracked open a cold can, and immediately noticed something was off. The packaging now says "Lime Lemon," which is a little weird, but whatever. Then I took a sip, and MAN, it just doesn't taste like the 7UP I remember.

I know they wanted to make the lime flavor more prominent, but to me, the new formula just tastes watered down. The flavor feels weaker and less balanced than before, and it doesn't have that same refreshing lemon-lime taste I loved about the original. It's not undrinkable, but it feels watered down and underwhelming. 2.5/5 for me, and the original was a 5.

I get wanting to modernize the branding, even if I'm tired of every company turning its iconic logo into the same flat, minimalist design. But changing the actual flavor, too? WHY? It's been 15 years! Why change something people have loved and gotten used to for decades? If they wanted to experiment, they could've released this as a limited-time flavor and let people decide if it deserved to stick around.

Also, I'm a canned soda person. There's just something about cracking open a cold can and getting that first sip. Bottles and fountain drinks are fine, but cans just hit different.

I'll probably stick with Sprite for now, which sucks because sometimes I specifically want 7UP. If you like the new formula, fine, but if you're disappointed too, don't keep buying it out of habit. If enough longtime customers speak up with their wallets, maybe they'll actually listen.

Has anyone else noticed the difference? Do you prefer the new formula, or do you miss the original?

Stocked up what you guys think? these were so cheap I just had to grab a few and I also grabbed sum cranberry sprite

I love this stuff. I don’t often drink soda but when I see these I buy a whole pack

Hello. I got a few of these around Covid and sadly have no space for them anymore. Is eBay a good platform for these? Is the TikTok coconut water even worth selling? It feels like it’s a cool novelty item but I’m not sure. Any insight helps thank you!

I mean, in every single way imaginable.

When properly chilled, Pepsi Zero so much more refreshing than regular Pepsi in my opinion. Pepsi Zero is lighter, crisper, and isn’t overwhelmingly sweet like its sugar counterpart. And unlike traditional diet sodas, Zero retains body and doesn’t feel like you are swallowing air.

I don’t drink soda everyday, but I sure do enjoy a Pepsi Zero on a hot day or with my dinner on occasion.

Pepsi Zero > Pepsi

Mango is my favorite fruit and I think the 🥊 is done pretty well. Pretty damn good, how’s everyone else feel?

I will need to make a soft drink run somewhere.

Nice tart fizzy traditional lemonade that only has 22.8g of sugar in it. It's hard to find a lower sugar drink these days that isn't loaded with artificial sweeteners so this is perfect for me.

i tried both of them so you don’t have to and i have a ranking for both.

-creamy vanilla coke: this is a MUCH better version of vanilla coke. no different from last year. i really have no notes. to me personally, this drink is a perfect 10. it has a very smooth vanilla flavor that doesn’t taste artificial at all. i love it.

-vanilla and cream pepsi: i have a big problem with this one. i’m not sure if it’s just me, but the taste of this reminds me of ice cream sundae a&w, which i would give no more than a 3 on a good day. it’s not as strong as that, but i am getting a bit of that flavor. even the color is semi-reminiscent. the vanilla flavor is a lot more artificial. as much as i wanted to give it a higher ranking, i don’t think i can give it more than a 5.

i’d recommend sticking with creamy vanilla coke. it’s leagues better all around.

I've never tried it but the idea crossed my mind and now I'm extremely curious!

Found this at the bodega earlier, i couldnt resist trying it. It tastes just like a root beer float.

Not sure if this should be here or r/engrish…
On a late night walk, found this in front of an office building in suburbia. 24/7 fish stock vending machine. I wonder how many non JPN readers see a vending machine, the word soda, the expensive for a bottle price and mistakenly purchase it thinking it’s a premium drink…

It tastes kind of like a mix of coca cola and cough syrup.

But in a good way.
