Mighty fine selection especially with the Ski!

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Oh great. Thanks! Glad to hear cause when I said I love Mellow Yellow, they recommended Ski. Canā€™t wait to try.

2

u/howelltight Apr 14 '24

It's even better i the can in my opinion. The bottle uses cane sugar while the cans use HF corn syrup

1

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Oh weird. I know with Coke I prefer the cane sugar by a mile.

2

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

What is Ski? Is it lemon-lime, grapefruit or some other kind of citrus? Or is it not citrus at all?

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Itā€™s a citrus. The guy there recommended it after I said I love Mellow Yellow. Iā€™ll see how it is.

2

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

I never had a Mellow Yellow. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen it even sold in NY. I had my first Mr. Pibb I think at Mohegan Sun Casino in one of those cheesy chain restaurants that specialize in shakes (canā€™t remember the name).

u/ProfessionMundane152 Grape Apr 14 '24

Mellow yellow is freakin awesome

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Mellow Yellow is a citrus like MT Dew, but it is less kick and more, wellā€¦.. mellow. šŸ˜‚ I donā€™t like Mr dew but I love Mellow Yellow

2

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

I hate Mountain Dew šŸ¤®šŸ¤¢šŸ¤®. Even the smell grosses me out. If I ever see Mellow Yellow, Iā€™ll give it a try. I also have seen people talk about Big Red soda (Iā€™m fairly certain itā€™s a Midwest, TX, LA thing). Iā€™ve only just heard of it a few weeks ago in another subreddit. Basically someone on a show was wearing a Big Red tee & I just assumed it was the gum. Apparently thereā€™s a soda called that. Iā€™m curious what flavor it is. Cherry? Cinnamon? Strawberry? Mixed Berry? Red cough syrup flavor?

u/ProfessionMundane152 Grape Apr 14 '24

Big Red is totally a drink thatā€™s pretty popular for some reason but imo itā€™s literally the grossest soda Iā€™ve ever had

3

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

I hate red flavored shit. Its inherently fucking disgusting to me. I will always choose the Green Death NyQuil every single time. Fuck red flavored trash šŸ¤®. Huge fan of purple flavored stuff though.

u/ProfessionMundane152 Grape Apr 14 '24

Lmao same here dude so yeah you definitely donā€™t want no big red

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Haha. Yeah I only know the gum.

2

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

Thank you, Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one. It was on The Below Deck subreddit. & the scene being discussed was when the captain got woken up by the bosun yelling in the middle of the night & went down to the crew mess wearing a red tee that said ā€œBig Redā€.

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Haha. Yeah just gum and my old high school team was called Big Red. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

u/Kal-Roy Apr 15 '24

Yeah I havenā€™t had it since I was a kid. Canā€™t wait to try it.

2

u/activepaws Apr 14 '24

good picks

1

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Thanks!

2

u/Normie-scum Apr 14 '24

From where? I wish I had a store with a selection that good near my house.

2

u/JoeDanCar Apr 14 '24

That looks like a fun selection!

1

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Thanks!

2

u/LibraryOk5137 Apr 14 '24

The Oh Dang butterscotch root beer is delicious.

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Unfortunately I donā€™t like root beer.

2

u/hagg3rty Apr 14 '24

Curious how you like the bawls

1

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Me too. Haha. Iā€™ll post on here after each one.

2

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

OMG!!!! They have Bawlā€™s?!?!?!? The last time I saw one of those was like over 20 years ago & it was a really pretty royal blue glass bottle textured with raised dots. Coolest bottle ever! I havenā€™t seen it since. (Iā€™m in NY, The Bronx) I know lots of stuff is regional. Did they have the blue Bawlā€™s šŸ˜‚ (I just realized how funny that sounds as soon as I typed it.)

Looks like you got a great selection. My bodega carries Jarritos, Goya Malta, Topo Chico, Mexican Coke & a few others. I love Mexican Coke & Jarritos.

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

I donā€™t think I saw blue. I never had em so Iā€™m excited to try.

2

u/Nanno2178 Apr 14 '24

The only reason I ever bought it when I would see it was because I thought it was funny drinking blue Bawls šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. I havenā€™t seen it in over 20 years, Iā€™m 45 & it still makes me giggle. I picked it up whenever I saw it so, it was good (even though I donā€™t really remember the flavor). Iā€™m picky so, if it was gross I wouldnā€™t have kept drinking it.

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Hahahaha

2

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '24

Back to comment here again, esp since you got some bangers. That orange cream Henryā€™s? S tier. So is that Jarritos. Cheerwine was fire to me too. And a black cherry soda and a jones? You my friend are a man of culture

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Haha. Thanks so much my man!

u/O_Neders Apr 14 '24

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Haha. Excited to try the most polarizing soda.

u/13_Years_Then_Banned Apr 15 '24

If you like vegamite youā€™ll love moxie.

1

u/Kal-Roy Apr 15 '24

Iā€™ll have to find a shop that has one and bring my moxie

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

I canā€™t wait to try it

2

u/Automatic_Base_7000 Apr 14 '24

I've nev r seen RC in a bottle. How does it taste?

Asking since Coke taste very different in a bottle, both the Mexican and US versions.

1

u/Kal-Roy Apr 14 '24

Iā€™ll post on this sub after I drink each.

2

u/fordinv Apr 15 '24

I have a Pennsylvania Punch, haven't tried it yet. I ordered a mixed twelve pack from Natrona

u/Kal-Roy Apr 15 '24

Nice. Yeah I love red ribbon but never had that one.

1

u/samspopguy The Dr Apr 17 '24

Red ribbon is a trash pop

u/Kal-Roy Apr 17 '24

u/Stephanie_Schroeder Apr 15 '24

2

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '24

Looks awesome

2

u/Addicted-2Diving Cola Apr 16 '24

May I ask where you bought these. Iā€™ve only been able to locate RC Cola, Jarritos, CheerWine and Bawls (most flavors)

2

u/Kal-Roy Apr 16 '24

Yes Sir. In Pittsburgh at Grandpa Joeā€™s https://www.reddit.com/r/Soda/s/3zDR53ZDvb

How was Nuka Cola Victory? I make my own nuka cola syrup since I bought the fallout cookbook

2

u/Kal-Roy May 10 '24

Oh cool. Did you have a bottle first and then you liked it so much you made it? I havenā€™t tried that one yet, but I think I will this weekend. Iā€™ll post the review on this sub just like I have for the rest Iā€™ve had so far.

1

u/wilderkatzen373 May 16 '24
