I loved OK. I completely loved the marketing (I was in the target) and the taste. I was bummed when it disappeared.

Not so with most of everything else you mention here, although Patio enjoyed a bit of resurgence with an episode of “Mad Men” that spent a great deal of time on the product.

To be honest, I loved Crystal Pepsi. WHen it first came out, it tasted EXACTLY like regular pepsi. To a T. Sometime after the first 9 months to a year, it started to have a kind of synthetic tasting after taste. I think I kept trying it for a couple more months then abandoned it.

Although the whole clear thing was nicely tied up with the Gravy Clear commercial on SNL.

I remember the coffe flavored coke. God it was ass-tastic.

Ah, so many memories… plus Surge and Citra…

I still miss Crystal Pepsi, but never got to try New Coke, that I can remember…

That’s a soda hall of shame there. Though I am surprised that Coca-Cola Blak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Bl%C4%81K) did not make your list. The idea of coffee flavored cola did actually appeal to me (I bought a 4 pack right after the launch) and even I thought it sucked. Just awful.
