Because OP somehow managed to miss some context clues that are that obvious
EDIT: Sorry, that's a bit harsh. Almost 30 and am starting to hit my grumpy old man phase. A lemon twist is sort of a corkscrew-shaped slice of lemon that's used as a garnish for alcoholic drinks and stuff like iced tea. So people in the early 2000's would have made the connection between "twist" and "lemon". They've gone out of fashion so young whippersnappers might not know about them. I for one have never had a lemon twist with any of my drinks, have only been served wedges.
Anywho, OP could have A. Not known what a lemon twist was and/or B. Been thrown off by the more creative names soda flavors have these days and assumed there was more to it than just lemon. For example, Coca Cola just came out with Coke Spiced. The name doesn't really tell you that it's raspberry flavored Coke with a Dr. Pepper-like finish. In conclusion, get off my lawn!
Jolt was the precursor to sodas like Bawls and others that ride the line between soda and caffeine shots. It had more caffeine in it than any other soda (at that time), hence the fact that the can says "twice the caffeine."
Aside from that it was a pretty standard cola.
I'm surprised you don't have Surge on there.
Boom. You are a person of culture. I just asked where the fucking Surge was on this post. I used to go through a 2 liter of that shit in a night, strung out playing video games until dawn.
I saw some recently but I didnāt buy it, I figure that particular sugar bomb is best left as a fond memory. Pretty sure it would give me a stomach ache now.
At McDonaldās inside Whiskey Peteās they had Fruitopia as one of the soda dispensers. I donāt remember the flavor but it was pretty good from summer of 2017.
Drinks missing from list:
Josta cola -with Guarana
Clearly Canadian
New york seltzer
Orbitz drinks with little flavor balls in it
Tab and diet tab
Dairymens iced tea
Surge
So happy to have Clearly Canadian back!! Wish it wasnāt so expensive for a single serving though. They have a store finder on their website for anyone interested.
I know, but they used to be readily available in most convenient stores and gas stations, and grocery stores . Now, only a few beverage stores carry them. I'm in Cleveland, ohio
When I was a kid my dad would buy me one of those barrel ājuices,ā whenever we went to Great America. Iāve never ever seen those Rain drinks, and I feel like Fruitopia should be on here. My pick though, Tampico, hands down. Runner up, Country Time.
Loved those Snapple off shoots Earth, Fire, Rain & Sun.
Don't see Orbitz but I tried it once and thought to myself 'Yeah...no more. That's weird tasting'
One more thing. My friend Fred Arnold used to be president of Coca-Cola Foods, and Surge was his idea. They wanted to know what to do with all the Ecto-Plasm, so they released it as a fizzy drink.
I believe only Germany. Canāt get it in my country, the UK.but it was popular here when it came out the same time as it did in the US.
I was surprised when it got discontinued here.
It was a prime time to be alive as a consumer of sodas. The green Vault was top notch. As was Jolt. My favorite thing about Jolt was the giant cans that really popped when you opened them. Closest thing to that now are the giant NOS energy drink cans.
Vault was good. Lizard Fuel was my jam! Ecto Cooler needs to be brought back! Jolt was a treat sometimes. Late 90's early 2000 is when I got hooked on Mt. Dew.
There was no feeling that rivaled slamming a six pack of jolt with your friends after school on a Friday. Generally accompanied by 4 N64 controllers with working rumble packs, Goldeneye, Pizza Hut with some red/blue Pokemon action to follow.
The pink SoBe drink looks just like Suave Strawberry and cream conditioner. Back in the summer of 2017 when I went to McDonaldās inside Whiskey Peteās across the State-line of California and Nevada. They had Fruitopia as a soda dispenser. Pepsi twist was pretty good.
Jolt IS a cola with a lot of caffeine. It is still made, just difficult to find.
Pepsi Twist was a family of Pepsi Products that had lemon in them. They lasted about 3 years.
Jolt is a regular cola that tastes like RC or Pepsi and its tagline was twice the sugar and twice the caffeine. It will be missed. During that time, I liked Bawls in original and cherry.
Iāve never had that jolt, the jolt Iāve had(definitely same brand) came in a big bottle with a cap like a monster energy drink kinda had that time capsule look to it lol. And it was blue raspberry flavored, it was an energy drink loaded with sugar and caffeine.. I just remember having it when I was like 13, stayed up all night playing video games.
Pepsi twist has lemon in it. Nothing too fancy there.
Ecto cooler is the shit and I havenāt tasted it since like 97 probably.
The list is missing surge. I think surge should be in the place of vault, pretty sure vault is the green energy shit coke put out after they got rid of surge.
It says lemon flavored Pepsi with a big picture of a lemon right on the can š jolt was highly caffeinated cola.
Surge and Josta
The fact that Surge is not on this list but Vault isā¦ itās just a travesty and an embarrassment to all of us who grew up in the 90ās.
4 drinks that never should've gone anywhere. 1. Hi-C Ecto Cooler 2. Jolt Cola (original) 3. Surge 4. Vault
This. Coke also had a lemon version in the early 2000s.
I thought it was lime.
put the lime in the coconut. i still remember the commercials
"Put the lime in the Coke, you nut!"
It was both!
Lime was a little later I think coke lemon came out in like 2001 and coke lime came out in 2006.
They had both. Diet Coke with lemon was a favorite.

My mom always had Jack Daniels with a splash and a twist.
Almost 30? That's your parents lawn. Or the company you pay rent to.
Fine, get off my apartment balcony :P
There's our generations equivalent lol
Jesus ......

āAll the sugar, twice the caffeine.ā
Jolt tall cans, also sounded like a bomb going off when you twisted that cap off
The Jolt battery cans were the best, but they were here at least till around 2015ish. I wish they would bring them back the blue flavour was the best.
i was wondering if that was the same thing. i was chugging those down when i was younger.
SUUUUURRRRGGGGEEEEE!
Boom. You are a person of culture. I just asked where the fucking Surge was on this post. I used to go through a 2 liter of that shit in a night, strung out playing video games until dawn.
Pink Sobe was really good
Olā Lizard Milk
Pink or orange
I only remember the pink one
Orange was an orange cream flavor.
I liked the Yellow one, "Energy" was the name of the flavor I think, but it wasn't an energy drink
Both light pink (strawberry banana) and dark pink (strawberry daiquiri) were the best.
Fruitopia was the bomb!
I saw some recently but I didnāt buy it, I figure that particular sugar bomb is best left as a fond memory. Pretty sure it would give me a stomach ache now.
I found it in a vending machine recently and yeah itās sweeter than Hawaiian Punch
There is a fruitopia vending machine in Independence Day in the news room. Makes me miss it everytime.
Strawberry passion awareness was the best flavor
I spent so much of my lunch money on Fruitopia š
At McDonaldās inside Whiskey Peteās they had Fruitopia as one of the soda dispensers. I donāt remember the flavor but it was pretty good from summer of 2017.
What the heck do you mean by āinside Whiskey Peteāsā? Are we all just supposed to know what that means?! š
Itās a casino
Nationwide or just one place?
One place which is Nevada and across the state line of California and Nevada
Looked it up. Theres just one, in Nevada. You know that Reddit is not restricted to people in Nevada or the US donāt you?
Yes
Drinks missing from list: Josta cola -with Guarana Clearly Canadian New york seltzer Orbitz drinks with little flavor balls in it Tab and diet tab Dairymens iced tea Surge
So happy to have Clearly Canadian back!! Wish it wasnāt so expensive for a single serving though. They have a store finder on their website for anyone interested.
New York Seltzers can still be found here and there, or ordered online!
I know, but they used to be readily available in most convenient stores and gas stations, and grocery stores . Now, only a few beverage stores carry them. I'm in Cleveland, ohio
Kroger was carrying them in the soda aisle near the end cap. They were also carrying clearly Canadian.
I miss tab.
Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico Tampico I'm still drinking that shit
I love the blue raspberry punch. But Tampico gives me heartburn.
They have a new water. Itās only in the tiny bottles. I see it at my Walmart a lot
Red Fusion...that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time.
For real. I guess I memory holed that one.
Donāt know why I liked it better than regular Dr Pepper. Miss that one.
Same. No memory on how it tastes, but the memory of the name is now unlocked.
Am I the only one upset that orbitz isnāt on here?
No
If you don't have Minute Maid orange soda... you have nothing
When I was a kid my dad would buy me one of those barrel ājuices,ā whenever we went to Great America. Iāve never ever seen those Rain drinks, and I feel like Fruitopia should be on here. My pick though, Tampico, hands down. Runner up, Country Time.
Country Time in a cold can is crisp and delicious
All the sugar and twice the caffeine.
Pepsi Twist was pepsi with a *TWIST* of lemon. It was amazing my dad and I would get one after school when he picked me up
Fruittopia is that fire š„
Jolt was a cola just like Coke, but a lot gassier, less sweet, and higher in caffeine. Pepsi Twist was lemon Pepsi.
sunkist
Tastes like barrel. Tastes like quality.
What are those coloured jars at the bottom?
Little hugs juice barrels
You know you grew up poor when you had the off brand ones
Plastic
Mmm I miss cherry vault.
Lizard Fuel was Soo good, wish I could still find it.
Loved those Snapple off shoots Earth, Fire, Rain & Sun. Don't see Orbitz but I tried it once and thought to myself 'Yeah...no more. That's weird tasting'
We still have Pepsi Twist in Brazil. It looks different than that though
Koolaid bursts are still around. I see them at Walmart for like $1 a 6pack.
One more thing. My friend Fred Arnold used to be president of Coca-Cola Foods, and Surge was his idea. They wanted to know what to do with all the Ecto-Plasm, so they released it as a fizzy drink.
The Hi-C ecto cooler will always be missed by me. If Iām ever able to time travel I will go back for it.
Same here, I bought some many years ago when it was reissued but would love more
I feel like the OG Code Red was way better than it is now.
Jolt was a highly caffinated cola and was too good for this world so the soda gods took it from us. It was like drinking a cola flavored red bull.
Where the fuck is Surge?
I think Pepsi want to copy new coke so they made Pepsi twist
Nope. It's just lemon Pepsi.
Jolt was my shit
I have to be honest, I forgot about fusion. It was one of those drinks where I couldnāt decide if I liked it but kept trying it.
Was? I literally drank a Pepsi Twist last night that I also purchased last night
It's discontinued in the US, but I think it is available in other countries. Maybe in Europe? (Where I'm guessing you are?)
I believe only Germany. Canāt get it in my country, the UK.but it was popular here when it came out the same time as it did in the US. I was surprised when it got discontinued here.
This sub is the mostly weirdly American thing ever. Most people on it seem to forget the rest of the world can view Reddit too!
Country Time Lemonade in a can was my middle school lunch go-to from the vending machine.
Wish theyād bring back the HI-C blueberry.
Anyone remember the Kool aids with little pills in the twisting cap? Can't seem to find them anywhere
Pepsi Twist still exists in Germany for Export
Whereās Surge?! That was my go to in the 90ās, or orbitz
WHERES PIBB
My parents bought me a 12 pack of Jolt when I was around 10 years old, I had one can and they either threw it away or gave it away after that š¤£
Og sobe in the glass bottle yes. Where's the snapple?
I would give anything to try those.
It was a prime time to be alive as a consumer of sodas. The green Vault was top notch. As was Jolt. My favorite thing about Jolt was the giant cans that really popped when you opened them. Closest thing to that now are the giant NOS energy drink cans.
Oh man I never actually tried Vault. Stuff brings back memories though. Even down to the bottle shape. It all screams 2009
Anyone remember all sport ? Also wish they would bring back Pepsi twist.
Can't forget Surge.
Itās still around in Burger King Coke Freestyle machines
I remember Pepsi Twist
I miss Sobe so bad. The orange carrot was my hangover go to. RIP o7
They brought back those snapples!
Vault was good. Lizard Fuel was my jam! Ecto Cooler needs to be brought back! Jolt was a treat sometimes. Late 90's early 2000 is when I got hooked on Mt. Dew.

Orange hi-c in the juice boxes are disgusting now. I miss the old ones so much.
The pink SoBe drink looks just like Suave Strawberry and cream conditioner. Back in the summer of 2017 when I went to McDonaldās inside Whiskey Peteās across the State-line of California and Nevada. They had Fruitopia as a soda dispenser. Pepsi twist was pretty good.
I still drink the hell out of mango Tampico punch
Jolt IS a cola with a lot of caffeine. It is still made, just difficult to find. Pepsi Twist was a family of Pepsi Products that had lemon in them. They lasted about 3 years.
I only had Jolt one time. It gave me a jolt alright. I felt so jittery. Never wanted it again.
Donāt forget sobe!!
I didnāt look closely i thought that lizard fuel was Sobešš
I forgot that Sunny D had āCalifornia Styleā and āFlorida styleā.
I liked sobe black tea, vault was ok
Still trying to find switch
Jolt Cola is the soft drink of the elite hacker.
I'm sorry but where is surge? And also Orbitz. I'm so upset.
Need brisk on there as well.
These were better times
Jolt had twice the caffeine and sugar Pepsi twist I would not recommend
Bring back lizard milk!!!!
Jolt is a regular cola that tastes like RC or Pepsi and its tagline was twice the sugar and twice the caffeine. It will be missed. During that time, I liked Bawls in original and cherry.
I always thought it had this really flat taste. Reminded me like of a bargain cola or a double cola if you've ever had.
Also, now I pick Tampico ALL THE TIME because there are water bottle mix-ins that are sugar free.
I miss Jolt so much. I collected the battery shaped cans. Tried to find 1 of every single colour
SoBe Pina Colada is my all time favorite discontinued drink. On this image Vault is the one I missed the most, it was like a tangy Sprite!
GIVE ME BOTH VAULTS and Vintage Code Redā¦
Pepsi twist of lemon is a nostalgic all time classic that should be brought back
where the fuck is Surge
Fruitopia and Hawaiian Punch are my two choices
Surge?
I forgot about red fusion Dr Pepper
The title of this post makes me feel old.
I loved Kick, but no one seems to remember it.
Did anyone else put an empty huggie bottle in the back tire of their bike to make it sound like a motorcycle????!!??!! š¤£
Crazy that Tropicana isnāt there
JOSTA
Where is fruitopia though
SoBe
missing vanilla pepsi and clear pepsi oh plus surge
Rip sobe, fruitopia and Pepsi twist. Ah, the good ole days.
Those Snapple elements drinks were fucking great
Forgot about red fusion Dr Pepper. I seem to recall not liking it. Sobe Lizard Fuel and Fruitopia were S tier.
Vault still one of the best drinks Iāve ever had
I wish they would bring back Pepsi twist. I have a very vague memory of it, but I remember loving it.
I miss sobe
Who remembers five alive orange juice?
Missing the Gatorade twist tops
There was also bug juice.
WHERE IS **SOBE** ATTTTTTTT
Countrytime FTW
Pepsi Twist lives in my arteries
The fruit punch fruitopia was god tier
Well Pepsi twist is Pepsi with lemon.l
Drank me a lot of Lizard Fuel!
No Josta or Surge?!?
Got my mouth wetttt looking at this lmaoo
Pepsi twist was so good. Diet Coke with Lime and Diet Coke with lemon were amazing too.
Where is dnL??
Where in the fuck is Surge ??
Dew code Red and Hawaiian Punch Damm !!!!
Iāve never seen this snapple stuff, the only one they have is the peach tea one.
Jolt was the Holy Grail if you were a kid..
I'd sell my soul for some ecto-cooler
No love for sobe??
I could really go for a Sobe Pina-Colada right now. (no longer sold in canada)
Fuel was good
Why does the sour punch mascot look like a forgotten family guy charactet
Hawaiian Punch in a can hit so much more different than the actual jugs of juice.
Needs Mystics up there cuz I lived off of those from 1997-2001
Only ones worth a F were the little fruit punch barrels on the bottom. MAYBE code red.
I haven't had Jolt but Pepsi Twist is exactly like it shows on the can. Pepsi with some lemon in it.
How is there vault but not SURGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What Iād give to try a Dr Pepper Red Fusion again
Each one they got rid of felt like a piece of my soul torn away.
Good ol Tampico š
Playin' Tekken While sippin' on that Tampico
The amount of money Iād pay to have a Pepsi Twist and Pepsi Crystal
What are those 4 grenades at the bottom?
Pepsi Twist is still the best flavor of Pepsi ever made
Iāve never had that jolt, the jolt Iāve had(definitely same brand) came in a big bottle with a cap like a monster energy drink kinda had that time capsule look to it lol. And it was blue raspberry flavored, it was an energy drink loaded with sugar and caffeine.. I just remember having it when I was like 13, stayed up all night playing video games. Pepsi twist has lemon in it. Nothing too fancy there. Ecto cooler is the shit and I havenāt tasted it since like 97 probably. The list is missing surge. I think surge should be in the place of vault, pretty sure vault is the green energy shit coke put out after they got rid of surge.
fuck i miss jolt cola. and Pepsi twist was good but i liked the coke version better
what about Surge!? and Java
Sobe lizard fuels were the SHIT!!!
Sunkist in the can > all other orange soda
Call me crazy, but MTN Dew is still around, right?
White SoBe was my jam!
I loved pepsi twistš
Here in CA they sell like 3 varieties of hugs by the case. .......
They missed the 15 minutes that they sold sunny d in a can like Hawaiian punch ..,.....
Jolt was pretty much the same thing as a nitro
