Four soda brands you will never taste again

Most of us are very fond of sodas and our functions are just not completed without them. Keeping in view our liking, the soda brands tend to introduce different new sodas but some of them do not go well with consumers. So, they never return after their failure. Here are few such sodas that you will not taste again,

Pepsi Blue

This beverage was brought in 2002 to rival the Coca Cola’s Vanilla Coke brand. It was berry flavored and very sugary so was not much appreciated by consumers. Besides, the brand was alleged to be colored with Blue 1, a controversial food-coloring agent banned in some countries.

Years after it was discontinued in 2004, the infamous drink is still being searched for by some, but it’s extremely difficult to find.

Orbitz

Orbitz is the only drink on this list that contained floating lumps of solid food. It was made by the Clearly Canadian Beverage Corporation, which called it a “texturally enhanced alternative beverage,” when it was released in 1997.

Not enough consumers went for the gimmick and the lava-lamp-resembling drink was discontinued within one year.

Sprite Remix

Coca-Cola’s Sprite Remix popped up in 2003, and it quickly developed a rabid fan base. Coke would expand its Sprite Remix flavors twice in the next two years, adding Berryclear and Aruba Jam to its portfolio following the original Tropical.

However, in 2005, Coca-Cola decided it wasn’t performing well enough and killed the brand.

Red Fusion

In 2002, Dr. Pepper Red Fusion became the first new flavor Dr. Pepper ever added in its 120+ year history. The drink was predominantly cherry-flavored but was also combined with a bunch of other fruit flavors, and it failed spectacularly.

Despite the marketing power behind it, Dr. Pepper ceased producing Red Fusion nationally less than a year after launch, though it lingered until 2004. Many complained about the taste, and how it didn’t stand up to its sister brand, Dr. Pepper.
