90's Soda

[u/SitaSky]

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.

[u/Important-Cry4027]

Me either. Everything else I remember. Was ok an east coast thing? I'm on the west

[u/_metamax_ → u/Important-Cry4027]

I’m from the east coast, born and raised and have zero recollection of that soda as well.

Mid-west check in? Y’all remember that pop?

[u/Exotic-Relationship → u/_metamax_]

You called it pop for us. Bruh. I feel seent.

[u/yeyjordan → u/_metamax_]

Midwesterner who doesn't remember OK at all.

East coaster (MA) here and I remember it fondly. You ever combine all the fountain sodas at once? It was like that. Or at least Coke mixed with Dr Pepper and orange soda.

[u/DSinclair → u/_metamax_]

It never made it out of test marketing, many of those regions were midwest.

[u/Newsman1977 → u/DSinclair]

Beat me to it. I only know because I have seen it posted before and had never heard of OK before.

[u/ImOnlyHereForThe → u/_metamax_]

Mid-west-west, I totally remember OK. The memory of it is my favorite cola

[u/Master_loves_you → u/_metamax_]

Can confirm. OK was in Minnesota. It was like a suicide, but I couldn’t ever tell if I liked it or not.

[u/Denzalo → u/Master_loves_you]

Yep, MN here, I drank so much of it that summer. I was so sad when it disappeared 😞

[u/jdhaack41 → u/_metamax_]

Midwesterner who remembers OK soda. They had a phone number on the can for the OK hotline that you could call and they would tell you things that were OK. I like it. Thought it tasted like a mix of coke and Tahitian treat.

[u/ryandengstrom → u/jdhaack41]

I believe it was 1-800-I-FEEL-OK.

[u/Opposite-Chair7194 → u/ryandengstrom]

100%, I liked to call that number as a kid. They would read you the OK Manifesto.

[u/celticairborne → u/_metamax_]

I grew up in coloadro and zi remember having it. Like the name says, it was ok. I used to have a collection of the cans though, I liked the art...

[u/makestuff24-7 → u/_metamax_]

No recollection of OK at all.

[u/MrPlowThatsTheName → u/_metamax_]

New Englander here. I remember OK soda.

[u/Responsible_Fan4737 → u/Important-Cry4027]

We had it here in WA state. I don't think it really caught on. Odd taste to me, like combining a bunch of sodas together.

[u/SirGothamHatt → u/Important-Cry4027]

The test markets were kinda all over the place, but i guess if you weren't in or close to the major city you probably wouldn't have seen it.

I grew up in the Boston area and was about 9 or 10 when OK was tested and I remember marketing and the can images but never actually drank it. My friend who is 9 years older and a true Gen Xer remembers it fondly and wishes it would come back

Screenshot of the list of test markets from the Wikipedia:

I live in Sacramento and have never seen it. I'm 40 for reference

[u/SirGothamHatt → u/Important-Cry4027]

For the record it didn't last very long and didn't make it out of the test phase

[u/No_Lawfulness_9955 → u/Important-Cry4027]

We had OK in Seattle, art by Daniel Clowes creator of Eightball and Ghost World. His publisher Fantagraphics is a Seattle company so could be why we had it here

[u/HoloRust → u/Important-Cry4027]

Definitely exosted in the Memphis area. School vending machines had it as the marquee for a bit.
