You know what I think is sad? I think it’s sad that I will never et to taste celery soda and that nobody ever bothers to stamp “certified artificial color” on anything anymore. On the other hand, I’m delighted that I can claim the name “Baby Ginger” as my own.
to reader: i remember a soda from the late 80’s early 90’s called rascal. i believe it was raspberry flavored with a rabbit on the label. the slogan was “nobody famous drinks rascal” but i cant find any information on this drink and was wondering if someone could help me out. thanks, austin
Austin I too remember this drink it was my favororite of all time. I remembered it recewntly when tasting Mountain Dews Supernova flavor it is the same formula as the old soda

This is terrible news! One of the owners of Bolthouse Farms donated 100k to fight support Proposition 8 in California. And apparently they have a history of funding wrong-headed shit. This takes one of my all-time favorite beverages off the table. I'll miss you, Mango Lemonade, sorry your owners are a bunch of assholes.
The new-ish, flat, streamlined, no bevel/sweatdrop/3D/lensflare/whatever Coke can designs clean up at Cannes. In other news: They give out awards for can designs now, I guess?
Leche de Pantera: a drink of milk, gin, rum, Cointreau, peppermint and cinnamon, served from some sort of stalacTEAT. If I didn't know better I would swear Josh invented this. [Thanks, E!]
The Morning News has some recommendations on bottled drinks. Fuck them if they think they can horn in on our territory. We've reviewed many of those beverages here, so definitely compare the K4T review before running off to the store. Remember who your bevperts are.

Man those are some sweet labels. Why must modern product design suck so many dozens of donkey dingos, why.

Celery soda is still around in the form of Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray. I’ve had it and it tastes almost exactly how you’d expect.
