yeah -- we brought it up a couple of weeks ago on one of those
"remember these?" threads.

It was pretty OK.

Kinda light brown cola. Somebody pointed out that is didn't
have nationwide distribution -- only regional. The Cola
for Generation X.

paisleypark4 said:

i have disagree there.

i like Jones soda and bottles better!!!!

garganta said:

Indeed, they look eerily Orwellian. Like they should be the drink of choice in 1984!

and pop artish.

I loved OK soda and I used to call that phone number all the damn time. it was hilarious. i even taped the commercials because they made me laugh so much.

Coca-Cola planned to distribute it nationwide after test-marketing it in a few regions. Unfortunately, Coke pulled the plug on OK soda before it went national.

I still have an empty OK soda can (picked it up in the Boston area, one of the test markets), as well as some audio files recorded from the abovementioned 1-800-I-FEEL-OK hotline.

POST THE AUDIO FILES!!!!


please?

OK Soda was right up there with Clear Pepsi (or was it called crystal pepsi?)and "Surge"

My dad had a tendency to buy mass quantities of anything that was on sale so we had a ton of Surge, even after they stopped selling it...I hated Surge.

I remember calling 1-800-I FEEL OK, ALL the time...My friends and I used leave horribly obscene messages on it. I remember falling on the floor laughing after saying like, "you sucked my dick!" (thats just a taste of course) and after the message was recorded the OK soda man said..."Interesting! that happened to my sister last week!"

Anyhow, Everything about that soda was good except the taste. I liked the art on the cans and on the machines and stuff...too bad it tasted like feces.

They are archived away with files from my previous computer. When I get a chance (it may be awhile), I'll see if I can put them up.

Alternatively, the website where I found the files may still be up. I'll check.

I loved the cans. VERY cool. I didn't like the drink itself...but I DO miss the marketing campaign and the ironic air of the cans. It WAS odd though; a soft drink company trying to cash in on the "slacker factor." Notice you never hear anything else about what Gen X is up to now? All it is now is "What are we going to do about Social Security after the Boomers retire?"

A unique fruity soda? OK. Neverheardofit.
