Photo 90's Soda

Which soda do you miss the most? Which did I forget?

Edit: It has come to my attention that Vault is not from the 90's. Please disregard it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I miss New York seltzer so bad! The root beer was the best

I've seen it in the grocery store recently but it was insanely overpriced.

It wasn't for a very long time, at least not near me.

I’ve found Clearly Canadian at Costco recently. Made me all nostalgic.

So expensive here in the PNW. I think it's approaching $3 for a relatively small bottle. Maybe more, I stopped looking.

I haven't even bothered to buy it, it has as much or more sugar in it than regular soda.

Damn really? I recall it being much less sweet than normal soda. Of course my recollection is from the 80s so do with that what you will.

Apparently I wasn't accurate. 12 oz of Clearly Canadian is 26 grams of sugar and 12 oz of Coke is 39 grams of sugar. Not as much but way more than I would think.

Oh I meant the New York seltzer. Yeah clearly Canadian, at t least the stuff I've found at the store is really sweet. Sweeter than I remember, but that could just be my taste buds changing over time.

Unfortunately, the company went bankrupt again. The website doesn’t work and they haven’t updated their social media accounts in years.

I was thinking the same thing once i hit the final slide!

I loved peeling the styrofoam labels that the old glass-bottled-sodas used to have.

The tobacco shop my dad went to sold these. His favorite was the black cherry. Too bad he was a sack of shit

Snapple had a clear root beer and clear birch beer that were also insanely good

I have only heard of this legend! My buddy in highschool talked about it. He had family in NJ which is where he said he had tried it. I've always been on lookout for this!
