People who say Faygo is shit

Anonus · 2014-12-04 09:05:44

They're like the people who say the good Hanna-Barbera cartoons are shit: they're faking so as to make it sound like they know what they're talking about and are smart.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 09:07:24

Is Faygo even available outside of like two states

it's like Moxie, it's emblematic of the area you're in.

Bunny · 2014-12-04 09:08:47

Alright, hold on, is this a joke thread or are you being serious?

Because, I mean, I like Faygo, but out of all the various varieties of soda pop, Faygo is the closest to being pure syrup. I totally understand why people would call it shit.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 09:09:58

You've never had Bozzo Beer.

Technically I suppose that is a technique for preparing soda....

EDIT: I have again forgotten that this is a local thing.

Bunny · 2014-12-04 09:11:26

Yep, I've never had it.

Also, I would like to give a mention to surge as well. Seriously, when you drink Surge, you can actually feel your teeth melting. It's fucking gross and so delicious.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 09:12:57

Bozzo Beer is a thing some cafes do around here, I don't know what exactly goes into it but it's like a warm, somewhat sludgy root beer float.

It is

fuckin' gross.

Moxie is one of those things people unilaterally either thing is terrible or the greatest thing of all time.

There is no one who is "sort of eh" on Moxie.

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 09:18:48

i am just not into fizzy drinks in general, it's not about sounding smart, it's just that they don't taste as nice as fruit juice so i don't generally see the point.

i have only had Faygo once, but i did enjoy it. That's not some principled thing where i 'don't buy Faygo', btw, i just never see anywhere around here that sells it. But it's not bad.

Calica · 2014-12-04 09:19:43

moxie is bad

glennmagusharvey · 2014-12-04 09:20:21

moxie crimefighter gilette

one of the most obnoxious names ever, and something that once appeared in mystery hunt

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 09:20:27

Never had Moxie. i don't think i've even heard of that one before.

I would much rather have apple juice than diet soda but Mother rarely buys it because she's worried that I'll guzzle it all quickly and get fatter than I am

Also I NEED CAFFEINE FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN COFFEE

it's a regional American soda, so that is not shocking.

Among its brethren are things like Inka Cola, Dad's, and other such things.

Weirdly, Inka Cola rings a bell, although i have never seen it sold here.

Inka is fucking disgusting.

It's like eating cane sugar.

glennmagusharvey · 2014-12-04 09:25:09

juice > fizzy drink

Calica · 2014-12-04 09:25:12

also cider is like apple juice but fizzy and with alcohol. i am glad for its existence.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 09:26:25

I have said this before, but were I to move to Japan, one of the biggest adjustments for me outside the obvious would be that soda is apparently quite rare there.

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 09:26:39

That depends on the cider in question, really. Most have their own flavours, some of them are sweeter and less fruity than actual juice, some of them are much drier.

That surprises me.

Do they just drink squash all the time? Or juice?

those things are neat, we used to have them in the imports section when I worked at Wegman's, I bought them a few times. That and Irn Bru are my favorite foreign sodas.

but what I mean is that it's less common to get at like, vending machines and restaurants

gotta buy it from a store like some kind of scrub.

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 09:31:09

i have it on reliable authority that Dr Pepper is available in Japan.

And by reliable authority i mean anime product placement.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 09:34:26

Yeah but again you gotta buy it at a store

like some kind of commoner.

but also I can't drink Dr. Pepper anymore, I love it but it makes me sick.

this is also how i know about the weird ball soda

it showed up in like rahxephon

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 09:35:37

i like Irn Bru.

It's not ubiquitous this far south the way it is in Scotland, but most decent sized stores stock it.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-12-04 09:37:13

I also had that French orange juice soda once, that shit is awful.

I also had an Indian soda once that was pretty good, but we stopped stocking it not long after I had it.

I liked to sample stuff from the imports section when I worked at Wegman's, we also got a lot of tasty snack mixes from Japan.

They serve that in a pretty good Japanese restauraunt near my house.

PatchAwful · 2014-12-04 13:37:09

For a month I only drank cheap off brand soda which successfully put me off drinking any soda that isn't basically diet somethingorother (and even then if I only had to) for the next forever

lee4hmz · 2014-12-04 15:17:03

I get Faygo at Sheetz whenever I go there, and it's OK.

bRaHiAn · 2014-12-04 15:17:58

I tried faygo once and can confirm that it is exactly as shitty as they say.

Also the juggalos caught my scent and haven't let up since.

sunn wolf · 2014-12-04 16:15:51

the japanese ball soda is tasty as hell

sunn wolf · 2014-12-04 16:16:13

in general tho i dont drink any fizzy drinks because now im old and they make my teeth go weird

Obā-san · 2014-12-04 17:18:32

faygo is the worst soda ive ever had

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 17:19:28

Worse than store brand cola?

Obā-san · 2014-12-04 17:21:21

damn worse than store brand cola

worse than store brand diet mountain dew

Tachyon · 2014-12-04 17:35:43

i also like Mountain Dew. *shrug*

Princess Alice · 2014-12-04 18:39:41

I like Faygo well enough--being from Ohio it's always been my go-to cheap soda--but it's nothing to write home about.

SF_Sorrow · 2014-12-04 19:15:18

I just had ramune last weekend, I also recommend it to anyone who hasn't had it yet

I don't think I ever had Faygo - the cheap generic soda I get at the convenience store is serviceable enough

speaking of imported sodas - who here has tried Jarritos before? not bad stuff

Imipolex G · 2014-12-04 19:19:59

I can't remember ever having Faygo.

I know it sucks, though

bRaHiAn · 2014-12-04 19:22:22

Mountain Dew is great, but Diet Mountain Dew is horrendous.

ALSO JARRITOS IS BEST SODA EVER

Imipolex G · 2014-12-04 19:22:40

no that is Dr. Pepper

I actually really like Diet Mountain Dew, but I'm weird.

Morven · 2014-12-04 20:35:25

I like diet dew as well! But I know I'm weird too.
