Happy future day, people! I know what you're thinking, it's not future day there yet, but I'm obviously posting from the future.

[King Postwhore]

I hope you're hitting a retro fountain shop today.

Night!

[BlobVanDam]

I don't even know what that is, but it doesn't sound very 2015-y.

Goodnight, chump.

[King Postwhore]

Don't you remember they had a retro restaurant with the jukebox ordering a Pepsi?  That was a retro fountain shop.  My old man hung out at those.  At least that's what he told me.

Morning.

It's the Cafe '80s, fool!

[Kotowboy]

You can now buy those 2015 Pepsi's in America


FOR ONLY TWENTY DOLLARS A BOTTLE !!!!

I wish. Those things sold out before they were even supposed to go on sale on Amazon, and are already going for $400 on eBay. Good luck to anyone who got them at "retail" price.

Still was set up as a 50's motif sucka!   They didn't have those in the 80's in America but that's the fun of the movie.

They are expensive now but if I rant I'll sound even older than I am.

It was set up as an '80s motif, it was just done badly for effect.

[King Postwhore]

Completely agree! Sort of going to Japan and they have an American club and it's just not right.  It was perfect for the movie.

I would never spend £20 on a bottle of coke / pepsi when I can get a regular coke/pepsi for £1 and it tastes the same.

[BlobVanDam]

It's $20, not £20, but obviously you're paying for the novelty/prop rather than the drink! I'd pay $20 for it, despite it not being close to screen accurate. Very few people are actually drinking them. They're collectables.

I'll keep the £13 and have a regular coke 

[BlobVanDam]

I'm not sure I have the $20 right now anyway, so I'll keep it and drink whatever we have.

[King Postwhore]

I used to drink Coke like it was out of style in my youth but I only have it when out to dinner these days.

[BlobVanDam]

I can't remember the last time I drank any kind of cola, but I think it was probably Jarritos Mexican Cola. It tastes like a cheap cola, with a distinct aftertaste of candy (but ain't bad).

[King Postwhore]

I've seen that brand in a local Mexican restaurant in town but never tried it.  they also have all the wild, wacky flavors as well.  Like Cactus lime and other crazy styles.

[BlobVanDam]

We get that brand at mexican food places, and US food places. Never seen anything cactus-y around here though.

[Bolsters]

I like those Jarritos soft drinks, but I can only find three of the flavours locally when there's apparently eight of them available in Australia. I don't buy them too often though due to the price.

I think Woolworths here stocks three flavours (Lime, Cola, and maybe Mandarin?), otherwise I can only get it at shops that specialize in Mexican/US foods and drinks.

Woolworths here stocks Pineapple, Lime, and Mango. I have found them in some other stores aswell but only the same three flavours. I guess no one around here really cares enough to stock the others.

Lately I've just been getting into the Bundaberg soft drinks instead.

Maybe those are the three flavours we had, I can't remember, I only remember Lime for sure because that's what we got. Woolworths is so limited for soda flavours.

I currently have the Bundaberg Apple Cider. Good stuff. I want to try the others, but I'm not sure what they stock here.

I haven't tried all of them yet, but so far I've liked 8 of the 10 I have. Wasn't a fan of the Apple Cider myself.

It is a bit of an acquired taste compared to other apple flavoured drinks, but I enjoy it now. What ones have you tried? They all look so colourful and delicious on the ad. I wish I could get them individually, because a 4 pack is a commitment.

The only ones I haven't bothered with yet are Ginger Beer and Sarsparilla. I'm not a big fan of Ginger Beer but I'll grab it eventually, and I haven't decided if I'll try the Sarsparilla at all. Out of the others the only ones I didn't like were Apple Cider and Pink Grapefruit. Pineapple and Coconut is probably my favourite.

It was probably a while ago now but Coles had a six pack of the fruitier flavours for a limited edition run, that's how I got into them because I never wanted to buy a four pack of something I'd never had before. But I liked five of the six in that so I took the risk with the remaining flavours.

[King Postwhore]

I so want to post Dave Chappelle talking about Apple Drink compared to apple juice.  So damn funny.

[BlobVanDam]

I've tried ginger beer once (not Bundaberg), and was not a fan of it at all, so I wouldn't bother with that one. I don't know what sarsparilla tastes like, but I kinda assumed it was along the same lines.
I've had other pink grapefruit drinks and liked those. I also like pineapple, not sure about the coconut bit.

Ooh, I'll have to look out for that. That sounds perfect.

[Bolsters]

I used to drink Schweppes Ginger Beer as a kid, but I probably haven't had any kind of Ginger Beer in at least 18 years. That's why I haven't bothered with it yet. And like you I'm not exactly sure what to expect from Sarsparilla.

[BlobVanDam]

I'm getting ginger beer confused with root beer. I liked the Bundaberg Ginger Beer, but I can never finish a bottle. It's sweet and pleasant at the start, but by the end it's painful overwhelming ginger that wants to kill me. Root beer I just outright disliked.

Not a fan of root beer here, either.

I haven't seen them in months, so don't hold your breath. Though you never know if they will do it again.

I don't know how long you've been indoors but Woolworths closed down about 8 years ago in the UK

[BlobVanDam]

I checked the Coles and Woolworths sites, and didn't see anything.  I'll be on the lookout for it though.

I'll have to check if our soda store has the Apple Fanta back in stock. I want 5 cases of that shit. It's amazing.

Cool. If I lived in the UK, that might be relevant.

[King Postwhore]

I love Root beer.  A few older style you can barely find these days I love too.  Birch Beer and Sarsaparilla.

Can you possibly try to explain what sarsparilla tastes like?

[Bolsters]

Might be difficult, apparently we can't even spell it properly.
