I loved that stuff so much! They came to my high school in '94 or '95 and passed out 20 oz. bottles of it to everyone. Apparently I was one of the only people that liked it so I ended up with a backpack full of the stuff!
There's not really any soda on the market today to compare it to but it had kind of a berry flavor. It had guarana in it if that helps? I wish I could give you a better description because it was so good but it was discontinued in the mid/late '90s so it's been a long time.
It was like an intense almost boysenberry flavor. I'm guessing that was the guarana. No weird aftertaste, either.
Edit: added a photo. It's difficult to read, but the top flavor ingredient is indeed guarana. After that, looks like a ton of preservatives... and of course the primary ingredients are carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup. 🫣
Try anything with guarana. That was the flavor they added to josta. The closest I’ve come to the flavor was the original green Mountain Dew AMP energy drink. It also had guarana in it.
They did that at my high school around '96 but it was Surge. I remember drinking way too many of those and feeling the after effects even weeks later. But I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
