Recently I seem to be seeing lots of references to this drink. We used to have it over here in the UK but it was only on sale for a few years. I really liked it, wish it was still sold over here!

Anyone konw why it was stopped? or if it is likely to make a return??

We also used to have a drink called Tab Clear by Coca Cola as well. Anyone else know of other drinks they used to really like but can no longer buy?

I renamed it a little, so that people know whats going on :P

Hm... I don't ever remember actually losing a drink before. Perhaps thats one good thing about being the US's little neighbours to the north.

Ha, yeh good point Yuiichi, I did think I should rename it but I had already pressed submit!

You're lucky then I guess, I'm sure there have been others that have disappeared or are different here than in the US. I know the Mountain Dew sold here was slightly different to the US version!

I haven't either, I guess that's the benefit of being Canada's big neighbors so the south

not that I miss it - but does anyone remember OK Soda? it was bizarre - sort of like all the sodas mixed together. not surprising it didn't last.

Surge was another one. Sort of a Mtn Dew wannabe. They gave cases of the stuff away for free at our high school (sort of a preview test audience I guess). we were so sick of it that by the time it went on sale, I don't know anyone who bought it.

Good call, nicks. Surge was pretty neat.

You know what I'm glad is gone? Cherry Coke. Nastiest stuff I've ever had.
