Seems like a desperate attempt at a new product - sounds nasty but sometimes weird shit like that turns out to be good - but usually they are reaching and it flops.
Sales of sodas in general are going way down as the country gets healthier. They are trying everything possible to get back the market share that they’ve lost to water and seltzer.
Some gas stations have long had vanilla and fruit flavor add ins for their drinks. It seems like this kind of thing is getting more popular—the soda machine on my college campus allows for flavor add in to all the drinks too. Do you could have something like this.
As an armchair sociologist, my guess is the more “out there” you are—the more you can claim uniqueness of yourself as a person.
(But the actual cool unique kids buy the soda brands: Jones, Maine Root, and Ramune)
Soda shops when I was a kid (1950s) in NJ would add flavors to Coke: vanilla and cherry were most popular. Never heard of orange though. O-V coke does sound nasty though
Best soda if y’all like good tasting soda is Dr Browns black cherry close second is their cel-Ray flavor. Tastes delicious and kicks coke or pepsi’s ass
I think its the first product to come out of those "Freestyle" machines they have in fast food joints and the like now. You know, the ones where they have the various flavors in the machine and you can mix/match. They store that data and did some analysis to found a lot of people making Orange-Vanilla-Coke & Cherry Sprite. So naturally they took that info and made a bottled product to match. I'll be interesting to see how successful it is, particularly with all the eyes on how data is being collected/used these days.
I've not tried it yet, but I may grab a bottle next time I'm at a gas station. Maybe I'll waste some cash on a powerball ticket & a soda while I'm waiting for the tank to fill.

Give me a fucking break!
Why the hell can’t somebody come out with a new carbonated soft drink featuring the great taste of Worcestershire sauce?

and yeah ive seen the different flavor machines at the movies and stuff.
Peach Sprite is one of my favorites
They should have developed a sub brand for these flavored products under the Coke umbrella.

Personally, I’ve taken a liking to diet Mountain Dew with a bit of peach add-in at the local gas station. Did it by mistake one time and liked it.
