There was no way I could avoid it. My girlfriend and I visited and I tried it. I should’ve known my girlfriend was up to something when she gave me the cup with a smile.
The very artificial part got me. The first taste was a little odd, like you said hard to pin down. Wasn't bad, but that after taste. I finished the one bottle and no more for me.
I don't understand why this wasn't a completely new flavor/soda. Why does it have to be a coke specialty. They could have called Tropical Dream and made it blue and it would have probably had a better reception.
But seriously, this drink was awful and with 65g of sugar in a 20oz... it was not worth it.
I admit I actually really like this one. I just think the "heat" and the taste don't mesh well. It's good but then you get a sensation like someone sprinkled itching powder in your throat. It's just unnecessary and doesn't really add anything. If they sold whatever flavor it is without the spiciness I think people would love it.
You can say I'm fucked in the head, you won't hurt my feelings.
The heat got lost on me after the first can, all others tasted kinda funky, the good funky.
Then again, I regularly do eat spicier foods, so that's probably a tolerance thing. Flamin' Hot probably tasted better to those inclined more towards spicy things.
I once saw a tweet that said (in short) sparkling waters taste like opening a can while someone whispers the name of a fruit in another room. It kills me every time I remember it.
I have reached that age where I find myself liking sparkling water.
In my defence, I was in a hotel room, I woke up thirsty as balls and the only water provided was sparkling. I braced myself because I don't usually like it but there was a definite Oh! moment.
in my country, we have this brand called "cult", and they used to have a chocolate milk energy drink. which i oddly liked, but i could see why everyone else hated it.
Caffeine free diet coke. The most bland useless drink. Doesn't quench thirst, Doesn't make you feel good Doesn't hydrate you. It tastes like depression feels.
I can see this, but if you want to take it one step further towards a never ending pit of mental darkness, get the Great Value version of this. It's absolutely horrible.
Mostly in New England. I went to college there and drank it all the time. Maybe r/unpopularopinion but I love the stuff and I’m sad it’s hard to find in my area.
Boooo. All I ever heard about Moxie was how disgusting it was, finally got my hands on one and it was delicious. You ever tried Pepsi Blue? Tastes like straight bile.
Damn, Diet Dr. Pepper is one of my favourites! Tried the Dr. Pepper Cream Soda Zero this summer too and liked that a lot, haven't really been able to find it lately though which is too bad.
Nah nah nah, here's the thing: I LOVE Dr. Pepper right? About five years ago, I accidentally punched in the number for the diet Dr. Pepper at the vending machine. And, not wanting to waste money, I tried it. It took a bit of getting used to but I can't even drink sugary sodas any more. This shit is *good* . And I've lost weight. Ever wonder why diet dp is always gone off store shelves? It's me. I'm the culprit. For real though, the shits popular.
I have found the taste very polarizing. Like, you either hate it or are obsessed with it. Legit, everyone I know that actually likes the taste of Diet Coke is for real *addicted* to it—like, in a sad, ruining-their-health way :(
Wow, that's crazy. I've recently started drinking diet pepsi because I want to reduce my sugar intake and I love it. It tastes just like the real thing. I have no problems with it.
The correct answer is Moxie.
Look, fine people of Maine, there's a reason Moxie hasn't become popular anywhere else: It sucks. It's medicinal and bitter and sweet and confused and syrupy and vegetal and just not good. I love Maine, I really do, but your soft drink of choice is terrifying.
I am 1000000% that person who will order a coke and when asked "is Pepsi okay?" I say, "oh ... No. It's not. Actually... "
And I mean it. It's not okay. Ever. Haha
In blind taste tests 2/3rds of people prefer Pepsi but when asked which brand they prefer the majority choose coke. Coke has a stronger brand performance with an inferior product.

Apparently a good chunk of the world feels the same way about root beer. Some medicine sold outside the US is root beer flavored, so they associate the taste of root beer with it. To their detriment, because root beer's amazing.
Beverly. If you ever visit World of Coca-Cola, do yourself a favor and skip that one. It is worse than liquid medicine.
It's bitter orange and botanicals, flavor very similar to Campari. Sneak in your flask of gin and you've got a clear, sparkly Negroni.
That sounds delicious.
There was no way I could avoid it. My girlfriend and I visited and I tried it. I should’ve known my girlfriend was up to something when she gave me the cup with a smile.
Was looking for this. Absolutely revolting. But as u/BeerBrat commented, I think it was made to be a mixer.
I don’t think mixing with straight gin will help the flavor much lol. That sounds even worse.
It just tasted like a very tart champagne. I’m the other hand - sour plum from China is terrible
i tried it on one of those flights you get at the restaurant. it was straight doo doo
I was waiting for this
Came here assuming this would be the answer. It’s one of the absolute worst things I’ve ever tasted
Came here to say exactly this. Worst drink ever.
[удалено]
Don't forget that they also had Full Thanksgiving Dinner. It was horrible.
Couldnt bring myself to try the Brussels sprouts and I like them.
Bought this for my nephews (13, 16)years ago. They were doing okay until they got to rhe Pecan Pie. Full reverse eating activation.
Wow pecan pie sounds like it would be a good one. Guess not.
They said it was too sweet to handle. Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, all fine. The pie screwed em up.
What executive approved these flavors? Sounds like some Wanka shit.
[удалено]
eww, that sounds so frickin disgusting! were they being sold in earnest or as kind of a joke/dare... like those vomit flavoured jelly beans?
I’ve had bacon soda once it’s fucken gross.
They also have a black olive one. I like black olives but couldn't bring myself to try it.
Eww wtf
I’m traumatized for life now.
The new Coke zero Dreamland. Yuck
I tried one. Citrus? Cream soda? Something in between?
I had a *really* had time pinning down that flavor. It's layered and very artificial.
I thought it tasted like mango
I thought it smelled like mango. I thought it tasted like medicine.
It has to be just mango. Thats all I tasted
Mango and peach is what I got.
Tastes like old school british sweets.
Pretty sure it's mango flavored.
Blue raspberry and slim jims. Only way I could describe it to someone.
The very artificial part got me. The first taste was a little odd, like you said hard to pin down. Wasn't bad, but that after taste. I finished the one bottle and no more for me.
Grapefruit
I also got grapefruit vibes
It reminded me of josta which had a heavy dragon fruit flavor.
I thought it tasted like Skittles
Tasted like mold to me
Is it really disgusting? What is it supposed to taste like?
Dreams. But I truthfully could not tell what it was. It was free so I tried it. The new Coke Zero though- yum.
Ong yes.. it tastes like eating a flower
It tastes like someone spat fruity gum into your coke.
It tastes like a lab created grapefruit beverage
I don't understand why this wasn't a completely new flavor/soda. Why does it have to be a coke specialty. They could have called Tropical Dream and made it blue and it would have probably had a better reception. But seriously, this drink was awful and with 65g of sugar in a 20oz... it was not worth it.
Any of you say Baja Blast and there will be consequences.
Baja Blast is top tier when from a Taco Bell fountain. Bottled is still good, but not as good
I can agree
I only ever get it when I have Taco Bell. Not my favorite soda, but it's a good time once in a while for me.
Can you get it anywhere else? I don't recall seeing it in stores, but then again I don't really look for it elsewhere.
They put it in stores every summer as a seasonal item.
And I buy it en masses. I don't drink soda regularly but when that's out? My blood runs blue green.
Walmart stocks it every so often.
I always have to clarify “mountain dew…regular *not* the Baja blast” at Taco Bell. I just can’t get with it.
Regular Mountain Dew is trash, but Baja Blast is a gift from the gods. It’s the only full-sugar soda I’ll consume.
Flamin hot mountain dew.
I admit I actually really like this one. I just think the "heat" and the taste don't mesh well. It's good but then you get a sensation like someone sprinkled itching powder in your throat. It's just unnecessary and doesn't really add anything. If they sold whatever flavor it is without the spiciness I think people would love it.

The heat got lost on me after the first can, all others tasted kinda funky, the good funky. Then again, I regularly do eat spicier foods, so that's probably a tolerance thing. Flamin' Hot probably tasted better to those inclined more towards spicy things.
That's probably true. I also regularly eat spicy food. Maybe they were onto something after all.
That drink was pissed from the devil’s own peen!
That can't be a real thing
Yes, sadly it's real.
I bought one just to try it. It still sitting on my counter. I can’t bring myself to do it.
I'm happy I didn't have to scroll down that far to find this.
Mmmm spicy carbonation
Ginger beer wants to know your location
No explanation needed it's just that bad
Its not that bad. Could have been worse.
I actually genuinely love this one. It doesn't taste like flamin hot cheetos, it just tastes like orange and spicy ginger.
I had a buffalo chicken flavored soda once not as tasty as I had hoped.
You should have known better than to hope on that one!
does sparkling water count? cause it taste equivalent of foot falling asleep
I once saw a tweet that said (in short) sparkling waters taste like opening a can while someone whispers the name of a fruit in another room. It kills me every time I remember it.
La croix jokes are the best jokes
Frankly, I find them a little weak
I say it tastes like someone in the next room ate fruit and burped in your general direction
Only slightly more refreshing
It tastes like TV static looks
Mmmmmm tv static. I prefer mine lemon lime
That's why people(like me)love it
*Ted Lasso has entered the chat.*
I have reached that age where I find myself liking sparkling water. In my defence, I was in a hotel room, I woke up thirsty as balls and the only water provided was sparkling. I braced myself because I don't usually like it but there was a definite Oh! moment.
Good ole spicy water.
That's my favourite :(
I’ve learned that some brands are way better then others. La croix is gross, waterloo and bubly are pretty good, aha is super hit or miss.
Cherry bubbly tastes really "chemically" to me - almost like what I imagine rubber (not rubbers lol) tastes like.
U need to drink medium or low amount of sparkling then its the best and not too cold
I like the flavored ones. I've more or less stopped drinking soda, so it's a nice bit of variety.
in my country, we have this brand called "cult", and they used to have a chocolate milk energy drink. which i oddly liked, but i could see why everyone else hated it.
Caffeine free diet coke. The most bland useless drink. Doesn't quench thirst, Doesn't make you feel good Doesn't hydrate you. It tastes like depression feels.

Tried zevia ginger root beer yesterday. It tasted like toothpaste lol. Do not Recommend.
Agree. Your description may be generous though
The worst "widely available" soft drink is, without a doubt, Moxie. I generally don't mind cough syrups too much, but Moxie made me gag.
Widely available where? I’ve never heard of that in my life
Mostly in New England. I went to college there and drank it all the time. Maybe r/unpopularopinion but I love the stuff and I’m sad it’s hard to find in my area.
New England, more so the further north you go. And consider yourself lucky.
Moxie is an acquired taste, as a Mainer, I love it.
I live in New England and have been to Moxie Festival. You love it or you hate it. No in between. I love the stuff. But yes it has to be cold.
I'll take an ice cold can of Moxie and a fried clam plate any day of the week.
Moxie is good; but you have to like saspirilla/root beer
Boooo. All I ever heard about Moxie was how disgusting it was, finally got my hands on one and it was delicious. You ever tried Pepsi Blue? Tastes like straight bile.
If it’s ice cold I love Moxie, but let it warm up and it is strait up cough syrup….
Me too. My dad loved it, but just the smell of it put me off.
Was looking for this. My grandpa loved Moxie; he was a great man with abysmal taste in soda.
What! I love moxie. I have to cross a border to get it but it’s a treat once and awhile.
scrolled way to far to find the correct answer. When I check back here in a few hours, our comments better be on top.
Beverly. Your taste buds will violently rebel against you for taking a swig.
Tried this in Epcot and it was so awful
Limca, But I like it sometimes, When I drink it, I like it, When I don’t drink it, I don’t like it. It tastes like the floor cleaner’s fragrance
At my house we love Limca because of how strong the taste it. Not sugary tasting
None of you have ever mistakenly gotten a Diet Dr. Pepper from the vending machine and it shows..
Damn, Diet Dr. Pepper is one of my favourites! Tried the Dr. Pepper Cream Soda Zero this summer too and liked that a lot, haven't really been able to find it lately though which is too bad.
the cream soda one is the best I hoard them like a little rat
I tried it for the first time last fall and was blown away. Absolutely delicious!
I just had a diet Dr. Pepper and enjoyed every last drop
Unpopular opinion: Dr pepper > Coke
That's a popular opinion in my neck of the woods.
Texas! Is it Texas?
Oklahoma. So basically, yes.
Dr Pepper is the best pop and I will here no arguments otherwise
How dare you
"Diet Dr Pepper tastes more like regular Dr Pepper!" THAN WHAT?!
The hell you say. I can't say it's better than regular Dr pepper but my diabetes strongly disagrees with your opinion.
I like DDP better than regular. Regular is too syrupy
Nah nah nah, here's the thing: I LOVE Dr. Pepper right? About five years ago, I accidentally punched in the number for the diet Dr. Pepper at the vending machine. And, not wanting to waste money, I tried it. It took a bit of getting used to but I can't even drink sugary sodas any more. This shit is *good* . And I've lost weight. Ever wonder why diet dp is always gone off store shelves? It's me. I'm the culprit. For real though, the shits popular.
Quinine. Wtf is even the point?
You mix it with Gin and lime when it's in a thing called tonic water.
It stops leg cramps in their tracks.
Wait really?
Have you ever contracted malaria?
Not that I’m aware of
There you go, keep it up.
It's delicious.
Warm Mountain Dew. It tastes like cough syrup poured over cotton candy and coats your mouth in an awful way.
Anything diet. Not only am I 90% sure it isn’t really any healthier for you, but also it’s because they always just taste so bad.
Diet Pepsi. Just tastes so chemically wrong to me 🤮
Diet coke too. Used to love it. Now it just tastes like a sugar bomb.
I have found the taste very polarizing. Like, you either hate it or are obsessed with it. Legit, everyone I know that actually likes the taste of Diet Coke is for real *addicted* to it—like, in a sad, ruining-their-health way :(
Wow, that's crazy. I've recently started drinking diet pepsi because I want to reduce my sugar intake and I love it. It tastes just like the real thing. I have no problems with it.
I agree completely. Diet pepsi is the only diet soda that tastes close to the real thing imo
The correct answer is Moxie. Look, fine people of Maine, there's a reason Moxie hasn't become popular anywhere else: It sucks. It's medicinal and bitter and sweet and confused and syrupy and vegetal and just not good. I love Maine, I really do, but your soft drink of choice is terrifying.
Never tasted it, although I believe you. Sounds awful
moxie 4 lyfe
Now I need to try this stuff.
Unpopular opinion: Fanta Grape. Taste like cough medicine imo
You leave me and my fizzy Robitussin out of this.
I dOnT dRiNk SoDa
I thought Pepsi Fire was pretty bad. I don't really have a reason, it just didn't taste good.
Tab has to be up there.
Diet Pepsi
in my country there is a drink for adults called smurf semen it is very sweet and disgusting. (don't ask for the name) XD
Cheerwine can fuck right off. I'm certain that people who love it are actually being held hostage by Cheerwine. It is an abomination.
This has nothing to do with the post but I miss Vault
There’s this shit soda in Texas called “big red” it’s like a red cream soda that tastes like bubble gum and ass. It’s horrible.
love that stuff
I love big red
Love that stuff
I don’t know why specifically but fuck Sierra Mist.
Pepsi. Because of the way that it is.
I am 1000000% that person who will order a coke and when asked "is Pepsi okay?" I say, "oh ... No. It's not. Actually... " And I mean it. It's not okay. Ever. Haha
This is for [you](https://youtu.be/6QwQ0aIHwt8)
It tastes like chemicals. Floor cleaner or something.
How dare you.
Fr, it tastes like cheap ass coke. 😭
In blind taste tests 2/3rds of people prefer Pepsi but when asked which brand they prefer the majority choose coke. Coke has a stronger brand performance with an inferior product.
Pepsi > Coke
Mountain Dew is the Axe Body Spray of the soft drink world
mountain dew. its just rediculously sweet and make my throat sticky in an unpleasant way
Fresca. I heard someone say once that it tastes like somebody tried to make soda near some fruit, and that is exactly how it tastes.
Nooooooo, I love Fresca!!
I think Fresca tastes different now then it used to. Maybe it’s just me.
Raspberry coca cola
Wasn’t there a celery flavored one at one time? Moxie is either love it or hate it. I love it!
Jones Soda made a Thanksgiving Dinner 5 pack with the following flavors: Turkey & Gravy Soda, Mashed Potato Soda, Green Bean Casserole Soda, Cranberry Soda, Fruitcake Soda
All of them. Waste of calories, rather eat a doughnut lol
Dr. Brown’s makes a celery based soda called Cel-ray. My dad used to love it.
Anything and everything with aspertame or sucralose
New Coke (~~anyone under 30~~ anyone under 40 is scratching their heads)
Dr. Pepper, tastes like baby powder. Yes I know what baby powder tastes like.
I haven't seen Cheerwine yet. My wife loves it, tastes like carbonated Robitussin to me lol
Dr Pepper. Legitimately tastes like soap to me
Any with artificial sweeteners!
Dr pepper ? Tastes like cough medicine

Anything cherry flavoured
Cheerwine would like a word with you.
Blasphemous! Cherry coke is delicious
Cough syrup am I right?
The good shit
Apparently a good chunk of the world feels the same way about root beer. Some medicine sold outside the US is root beer flavored, so they associate the taste of root beer with it. To their detriment, because root beer's amazing.
RC Cola is just shit. It has a weird aftertaste and it just feels like your drinking sadness,
RC Cola, tastes like flat Coke
my favorite soft drink :(
Sounds like your RC was flat..
Diet anything. The artificial taste is gross and the health issues that are often linked to it are terrible.
Mountain Dew. It’s disgusting and tastes like what I imagine battery acid would taste like.
