Here in Humboldt (North California) it depends on the party if its more like a party or a kickback. I’ve seen half a place be lit for chilling, drinking and smoking and the other half be the dance floor
In college, one of my professors and one of my fellow classmates would bet on football. And they’d both try to lose the bets. The “winner” would get a can of Diet Fresca that must have been “won” back and forth at least four times over the season.
The original bet was for a can of soda, but when that “prize” was awarded, a new kind of game began to get rid of the damned thing.
Actually, it is the odd thing about 7UP and Dr. Pepper. In some regions, both are bottled by other companies in some area other than the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group who was spun off from Cadbury Schwppes in 2000.
However in the international market, Pepsi has the full rights to 7Up, so it does not distribute Sierra Mist in those markets. And that’s probably for the best since the product is awful.
Though Pepsi had other lemon-lime drinks like Slice, Sierra Mist is in fact a fusion of lemon-lime and Dr. Pepper style drinks. It however gains nothing from either of its inspirations. And considering how long Pepsi tried to push Slice on the populace, Sierra Mist will be here in the United States for awhile.
Am I the only person that legitimately can’t tell the difference between Sprite and Sierra Mist?
I mean, I can tell the diff between Pepsi and Coke (and, truth be told, I prefer the former to the latter, if only by a little), but I’ve never noticed more than a slight difference in taste between Sprite and Sierra Mist.
Of course, my taste in soda isn’t exactly normal. I tend to think that Dr. Pepper tastes like flat cherry coke that’s had *something* added to it.
Sierra Mist is a bit sweeter than I’d like, but I’ll drink it over Sprite solely because I’m not a huge fan of the Coke company. Personally, I preferred 7up to either of them before they got rid of the stuff that kills you. Now, I don’t really like it.
Rights are confusing things. Here in this part of Canada, 7up, Dr.Pepper, Crush and Hires root beer are bottled and/or distributed by Pepsi. A&W Root beer, Fanta, Sprite, and Barq’s are all bottled/distributed by Coke. However the fountain-style restaurant systems don’t carry much of either no matter who owns it. If you go to McDonalds, the machines has Coke, Sprite and Barqs, that’s it. If you go to the food courts (eg Arby’s, Subway) and they are Pepsi, you get Pepsi, Hires Root beer, and maybe iced tea or something. Never the the stuff they licence/distribute.
It’s like Dr. Pepper, it’s made a deal with both Coke and Pepsi to be sold in certain restaurants. I’ve seen a few places have 7UP in the fountains and I think it reaches deals with both companies as well to be served in places they are at, but not many. Most restaurants that serve Pepsi have the Sierra Mist product and Coke is Sprite of course.
I like Sierra Mist though. Sprite is better, but Sierra Mist was all we had at KFC that was Caffeine Free.
As a Canadian, I am almost in Mongoose’s boat. However, I have watched American TV and seen Sierra Mist advertised there. I’ve never had it, and thus cannot speak on its taste like so many others have, but I think it’s a US only product.
No, there’s a valid debate to be had about whether Pepsi’s better than Coke. If someone thinks Sierra Mist is better than Sprite, I’ll take up a donation for them to get their tastebuds repaired.
I prefer Sierra Mist. It’s less carbonated, which means I’m actually able to drink it without my throat burning. Plus I think it actually does taste better, and I like Pepsi products better than Coke period.
Gotta go with Squirt, and not just because the name is so…evocative.
That or Catcus Cooler. Don’t even have to buy it online, it’s sold in my local supermarket. Only a block away from my walking distance In-N-Out Burger.
I feel like I’ve made that same face when I get a surprise Sierra Mist instead of the Sprite I wanted. Although I usually accompany it with “WTF why does my drink taste like Froot Loops?”
for the most part so can i, but i still have my preferences. coke vs pepsi, i like coke more but prefer the flavored pepsis over flavored cokes. i like sprite more than other lemon-lime sodas, but like cherry 7up more than sprite. all other fruit flavored sodas are interchangeable.
Favorites: Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Goose Island Root Beer
I used to be a heavy Mountain Dew drinker back in my stay-up-til-7 AM-sleep-till-11AM-work-til-11PM-rinse-and-repeat days. Then one day I was drinking it and went “Gah, too sweet! Is it always this sweet?” and I haven’t really liked to drink it since then.
Mt. Dew Voltage, original Mt. Dew, Coke, Pepsi and 7up in that order. Jolt would have been in there, if it were still easily available locally, and hadn’t rebranded as an energy drink.
I remember when I was a kid a friend of mine brought a drink in called Jolt Cola and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately they didn’t sell it in my State (Ohio) and I believe they went out of business recently.
Sussex brand cream soda, a drink that’s been unavailable since 1975. The closest I’ve found to that is Henry Weinhard’s, followed by Stewart’s, and then (to my surprise) Fanta, with Jone’s passing if nothing else is available.
Stewart’s key lime soda is best served with sushi. Accept no substitutes. Spiced meats usually go best with ginger beer, but birch or spruce beer are better suited to deli sandwiches. For ice cream floats, it’s got to be root beer, and Mr. Weinhard gets my nod in this category.
But by itself, it is cream soda, and it’s the one the Sussex brand used to make..
I fail to see how that is even the slightest bit relevant. The drink was created so that Coca-Cola could continue to sell in Nazi Germany without getting bad press on their main product. It’s not as though the drink itself is somehow evil because of that. I’m not gonna get upset at a company trying to make money, that’s kind of what they do.
Actually, the brand was created because the Coca-Cola company in Germany was cut off from the home company by the war and couldn’t get syrup to make Coke and instead came up with drinks they could make from available supplies and since it wasn’t Coke, they came up with the name Fanta. Until after WWII, the Coca-Cola company didn’t even know if the Nazi’s took over their plants or what.
How can a drink be a “Nazi drink”? I’m aware of Fanta’s history, and… as you apparently are _not_ aware of, the guy who ran the coke factory and started making Fanta (because he couldn’t import the ingredients for coke) _never in fact joined the Nazi party_.
I hadn’t until recently when Chipotle opened up in the mall that I work at (Chick-Fil-A) and then my old RGM from KFC became the GM at a place called Kolache Factory and they have mello Yello there as well. There are some Chick-Fil-A’s that also carry it.
Oh God, Squirt. The taste is nothing special, it’s no Mountain Dew, but the Name. Who names a drink Squirt and makes it a foggy white color? You might as well just name it Semen!
I do not want something terrible to happen to Joyce.
Part of it is because, well, I do not want something terrible to happen to Joyce. But I also don’t want to see the massive influx of “yeah, she deserved it!” scumbags who would post on here. I can sense them, hovering by their keyboards, WAITING.
I hope nothing bad happens to her either. This strip got my attention, though. I saw her drink something some random guy gave her and thought “JOYCE! NO——O!!!!!” and was then struck by the ironic punchline. Mission accomplished Mr. Willis, and kudos. ^__^
Wait. It seems as though peoples’ hypotheses that this is not in fact a keg party are gaining strength. This could just be an assembly of liberally-minded people (sort of like a College Democrats recruiting party?). After all, Billie DID put her shirt back on, that guy just gave Joyce a non-alcoholic and un-drugged drink, and these are supposed to be people that Roz considers her own.
Threat level downgraded from Red to Yellow. Proceed with caution.
So the night started out with joyce wanting to play apples to apples and carrying around 7-up. then she requests sprite at a frat party and then finally somebody slips her sierra mist. This strip is filled with blasphemy.
My campus has made a deal with the devil (i.e. Pepsi Co.), there is no Coke or Sprite sold anywhere here, only Pepsi and Sierra Mist. I feel Joyce’s pain.
My campus used to have only Coke products. I had to get caffeine by adding Vault to Fanta. Then they added Pepsi and my caffeine addiction went through the roof.
Oh that rude sonuva, how dare he pick what could possibly be the closest thing to Sprite? Time to unload all the memes on this guy. All of them. (What were they?)
Yeah, Surge was the best Mt Dew alternative, Vault, which I understand to have originally been proposed as a rebranded reintroduction, is just nothing near as good.
Dang it…. I really really want some Surge now. o.o Also for some weird reason want Vanilla Coke too…. I’ve been too long without soda! This diet thing is killing me or something.
Faygo is a brand of soda manufactured out of Michigan and distributed through most of the Midwestern/Southern USA. They make a lot of flavors, and some of these are good while the others are comparable to a glass of…well…let’s just say they’re not so good. It’s the poor man’s sugar fix. I love their cream soda, and a flavor called “red rock and rye”, but the rest is positively AWFUL, Insane Clown Posse be damned.
Why does everyone have to remind me that ICP is from my hometown? I spend a lot of time trying to forget that fact. And for those of you not from Michigan, here is a list of faygo flavors that are generally considered good:
Red Pop, Rock and Rye, Moon Mist, Grape, Orange, Peach, Black Cherry, Cream Soda, Moon Mist (still under review IMO), Root Beer… anything with “Ohana” in the name (there’s a lot of them)
I…I wasn’t TALKING about Michigan or Detroit. I was talking about FAYGO, which sponsors ICP. The only other reason I brought them up at all is because of the fact that since they were associated with Faygo they said it was the best drink ever, and I called them out.
Gotta sound out against Joyce in this (sorry everyone!). Sprite was always a poor substitute to 7-Up to my sense of taste, but it often ended up being what I had to drink at restaurants if I wasn’t in the mood for a Coke. I dunno, it always left a bit of an aftertaste I didn’t care for.
On the other hand, I’ve found Sierra Mist to be quite tasty, and I’ve even been known to select it over 7-Up if both are available. Taste is in the tongue of the beholder… or something.
Been said probably countless times on the comments already but….
That fiend. Only the power of Coca-Cola brand products can quench the thirst at a party like this. That or Mountain Dew. But Coca-Cola brand products will have to suffice!
I like how Joyce is all proud of herself for not wanting booze. “Oh, just SPRITE for me, please, I don’t drink because Jesus LOVES meeee.” True to life, y’know?
I have no idea what is Sierra Mist… but I guss it must be something similar too Sprite but from another company XD Time to read the other contents too.
It tastes like a watered down 7-up. It’s very hard to compare stuff bottled in the US because not every market is served by the same bottling company, so mixtures aren’t always the same. Here 7-up tastes more watered down than Sprite does. Pepsi products all do.
Here in Mexico we get 7-up sold by the pepsi company which I do like more than sprite to be honest XD
I also heard it tastes diferent because of things like the water and the sugar used.
So at what point will the girls realize that they’re at the wrong house party? I’m thinking it’ll be when the Bible study starts and Joyce ends up wanting to stay and they ask Billie to take her pre-drunking flask and leave. I can understand why Dorothy is being vigilant but if they were really worried about their safety, Joyce would have introduced her to Mike and they would have hired him to chaperone.
As a person no longer allowed to have caffeine, I have to say that Sierra Mist NATURAL is really the only way to go. But barring that, I’d have to say Sprite because for some reason the original Sierra Mist sucks a big one.
Hey, it is a completely different universe, maybe he was just born in a different year… yanno like how Beef is older then Danny who was Walky’s fake twin and as such a year younger than him. Or the age difference between Sarah and Joyce… just more extreme…
Well, he gets credit, he’s paying attention to joyce unlike everyone else in the party. But damn him for giving her a Sierra Mist. May his punishment know no end!
Well, that settles it; Joyce should not be at this party. Yeah, it was only Sierra Mist (presuming that Joyce’s taste buds are a reliable detector of foreign substances), but good grief girl, you just accepted it and drank. After a warning that roofie-ing can happen! It’s cute that you’re cute and innocent, but being cute won’t help a puppy cross a highway either.
Okay seriously, by your logic, no one should ever go to a party ever. The people who have the experience to know what and what not to do when they go to a party are the ones who have already been to parties. Yes, Joyce just did something which might be considered stupid, but then again, we’re assuming it’s the kind of party where someone’s going to slip something into someone else’s drink. For all we know, this could be a rather nice and relaxing party and Billie is the exception, not the norm. Either way, Joyce is no worse off than any other first-time party goer.
She was warned to keep an eye on her drinks. Five minutes later – ‘Hey strange man, thanks for the drink! ‘ Apparently she has the cognitive retention of a squirrel, and/or the self preservative instinct of a moth beelining for an open flame.
I would hazard that the average partygoer isn’t *quite* this detached from reality. For a random example, Dorothy and the falling down drunk Billie are managing to be a bit more cautious than her.
So are lots of other first time party-goers who STILL accept a drink from a person. Also, it’s a clear drink. It they slipped something in there, you would easily see some sort of sign, whether it be discolouration or pigments of something, so it’s easy enough for Joyce to have seen it was clear and drank it.
Also, where are you getting this “detached from reality”? Joyce may not know everything about life, but she knows somethings. Also, Dorothy has openly stated that she knows as much about parties as Joyce does, and Billie falls under the category of “party veteran”.
As for her memory and preservation skills, she appears to be good at Math which cannot be done if one does not have a good memory, and she has entered college alive, which suggests she managed to survive for almost two decades without dying or suffering any major harm.
What debate? I work drive-through in fast food and I don’t think I’ve ever had someone ask for a Mountain Dew. Everyone asks for dr. pepper despite being aware that we sell coke products, but nobody’s ever asked for a mountain dew.
It’s a lemon-lime soda, similar to Sprite or 7up. It’s made by Pepsi, so it very well may be that they named it similar to Mountain Dew which has been around for a long time.
Also, damn, Ron’s nice in this ‘verse, especially considering if I recall correctly he was the only one Ruth had no nice words for the first time Danny showed up at her place.
This is blasphemy, and it is the sort of blasphemy restaurants who don’t carry coke products don’t seem to get. THESE ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE SOFT DRINKS, DAMMIT! STOP PRETENDING THEY ARE!
it would be funny if they released it but it was just a cinema painted on the side of a cliff

anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now
Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned that I have to weigh which is worse: the cartoonist already forgetting what this guy looks like one daily strip later, or that, yes, he's actually meant to be an old man, not a victim to an older cartoonist forgetting what young people look like
Like any average American, I’m for universal basic income and abolishing the police. I can’t get on board with these ultra-leftists calling for the universal hive mind, though!

with his peni…. no that doesn’t quite work….
Heaven forfend! He should be STRONGLY REBUKED!!!!!!
Your avatar being Jason just makes that comment so much better.
That would be equal parts impressive and disturbing.
What he needs is a THOMPSON’S penis. Thompson’s penises: The only penises strong enough to sever other penises!
give up his penis? but how will he open jars?
Wow, it’s like…I want to see it? But at the same time, I don’t want to see it.
Fists of justice, go!
I maintain that this place is way too well-lit. But maybe having the lights constantly and annoyingly dim is just a NY thing.
Nah, dimly lit parties are a thing in Bloomington, too.
Here in Humboldt (North California) it depends on the party if its more like a party or a kickback. I’ve seen half a place be lit for chilling, drinking and smoking and the other half be the dance floor
Angry Dorothy is angry. Also, Joyce, be a bit more careful.
Yeah, next time there might be something worse in the glass, like Diet Rite.
Or TAB. Dorothy knows about Tab, don’t you dorothy?
Nah, you can’t mistake Diet Rite for Sprite. Now Fresca, maybe. That’s just a glass full of nasty.
Have you never tasted seltzer water? Now THAT’s a glass full of nasty.
Or it could just be toilet water that’s been shaken up…
Is Fresca supposed to be drinken individually?
In college, one of my professors and one of my fellow classmates would bet on football. And they’d both try to lose the bets. The “winner” would get a can of Diet Fresca that must have been “won” back and forth at least four times over the season.
The original bet was for a can of soda, but when that “prize” was awarded, a new kind of game began to get rid of the damned thing.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone ever dared drink that.
Or Zevia. (Seriously, who thought that a sugar-alternative with a vaguely liquorice aftertaste would be good in a lemon-lime soda?)
It gets worse when you include all sodas: Beverly, anyone?
Dorothy took the words out of my mouth.
Yeah, Sierra Mist is pretty gross.
What is Sierra Mist?
Pepisi’s version of sprite.
I can honestly say that I have never heard of Sierra Mist softdrink before, the only lemonade I knoew of that Pepsi made was 7up.
Pepsi doesn’t make 7up. 7up is their own company.
It is? I thought it was one of the Pepsi range as they sell it with the Pepsi/Schweppes drinks at the Pizza Hut and KFCs over here in Oz.
Actually, it is the odd thing about 7UP and Dr. Pepper. In some regions, both are bottled by other companies in some area other than the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group who was spun off from Cadbury Schwppes in 2000.
However in the international market, Pepsi has the full rights to 7Up, so it does not distribute Sierra Mist in those markets. And that’s probably for the best since the product is awful.

Of course, my taste in soda isn’t exactly normal. I tend to think that Dr. Pepper tastes like flat cherry coke that’s had *something* added to it.
Sierra Mist is, at its core, too goddamn sweet. That’s the biggest problem with it. Sprite has a subtler flavor, Sierra Mist is overwhelming.
That ‘something’ tastes like prune juice.
Sierra Mist is a bit sweeter than I’d like, but I’ll drink it over Sprite solely because I’m not a huge fan of the Coke company. Personally, I preferred 7up to either of them before they got rid of the stuff that kills you. Now, I don’t really like it.
Sprite is overly carbonated, like most Coke products.
Rights are confusing things. Here in this part of Canada, 7up, Dr.Pepper, Crush and Hires root beer are bottled and/or distributed by Pepsi. A&W Root beer, Fanta, Sprite, and Barq’s are all bottled/distributed by Coke. However the fountain-style restaurant systems don’t carry much of either no matter who owns it.

If you go to the food courts (eg Arby’s, Subway) and they are Pepsi, you get Pepsi, Hires Root beer, and maybe iced tea or something. Never the the stuff they licence/distribute.
sorry I gotta jump in here and say… Sunkist, which is the nectar of Zeus, is also one of the odd bottled drinks. Where I live, Dr. Pepper bottles it.
I can’t believe how many times I have to explain this, and how many times I ask for Dr. Pepper and I hear “sorry, we only serve pepsi products”.
Worse yet no one quite believes you because they have only seen it bottled / distributed by one and not the other.
Although I suppose this ailment could be solved by dropping the addiction to Dr. Pepper.
They do bottle it though, Pepsi that is.
That explains a lot. ^_^
It’s like Dr. Pepper, it’s made a deal with both Coke and Pepsi to be sold in certain restaurants. I’ve seen a few places have 7UP in the fountains and I think it reaches deals with both companies as well to be served in places they are at, but not many.

I like Sierra Mist though. Sprite is better, but Sierra Mist was all we had at KFC that was Caffeine Free.
Depends on where you live. Here, 7-Up is a Pepsi product.
Make 7 UP YOURS!
Loved that commercial.

The devil’s soda!
(A Sprite knock-off)
Not really. Sierra Mist is only as much of a Sprite knock-off as Pepsi is a Coke knock-off.
Well it is.
No, there’s a valid debate to be had about whether Pepsi’s better than Coke. If someone thinks Sierra Mist is better than Sprite, I’ll take up a donation for them to get their tastebuds repaired.
No. There is no forgiveness for those who prefer Sierra Mist.
They must pay the Ultimate Price.
But I’m broke and unemployed.
*Sierra Mist FTW*
THEN YOU MUST PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!!
is the Ultimate Price two easy payments of $19.95, plus shipping and processing?
I prefer Sierra Mist. It’s less carbonated, which means I’m actually able to drink it without my throat burning. Plus I think it actually does taste better, and I like Pepsi products better than Coke period.
Gotta go with Squirt, and not just because the name is so…evocative.
That or Catcus Cooler. Don’t even have to buy it online, it’s sold in my local supermarket. Only a block away from my walking distance In-N-Out Burger.
I’ll stop now.
They don’t even use real limon!
No one in the US dose.
What? Uncircumcised Philistines!!!!!
Sprite substitute.
I dig the Momo Gravatar.
Nothing is so evil.
Also, Dorothy’s neck is too long imo. Its scary.
Go Go Gadget Neck!
The way your gravatar was clipped and the expression in it were perfect for that.
It’s a gesture exaggeration. Her neck isn’t actually that long (the thinness, again for effect, makes it look weirder too).
Her neck only looks long cos her hair is covering part of it.
And her dad is mekaneck
He shall be smited! Or smote. I can’t remember which.
Or smitten? He’s got a tag, he could be important!
Ahhhhhh is it Ron because he is a young Ronald Regan! Is that how Ronny gets in DoA!
No, he’s Billie and Ruth’s former roommate in the It’s Walky! universe
Darn, I was half hoping for a Jacob gravatar
Was their former roomate Regan? ;D
to the prunification chamber!
The proper term is “smitten with the rod of beveraging… And all shall be well in the land”
No, it’s smote. If he’s smitten, he’s in the early stages of love.
He could be patient zero!
Sprite sucks (in my opinion).
But is it worse than Sierra Mist? And would Captain Morgan make it any better?
No and Fuck Yeah!
Fresca all the way.
Fresca with any kind of fruit juice.
I feel like I’ve made that same face when I get a surprise Sierra Mist instead of the Sprite I wanted. Although I usually accompany it with “WTF why does my drink taste like Froot Loops?”
…so I had this friend, at IU, who was really, really religious. She adored Coke products and shunned all of their Pepsi equivalents.
So Joyce being sensitive to this difference is supremely funny to me on a personal level.
The only cola I even touch anymore is the good old TAB cola.
*shudder* Saccharine sweetened soda? Gheck.
(They still bottle that swill in the town where I grew up.)
What can I say? I rediscovered TAB recently (I thought they stopped making it YEARS ago) and I found that I still liked it.
Never had it. Always wondered though… Is it good?
Imagine a cola sweetened with Sweet n’Low.
‘Cause that’s basically what it is.
code monkey like tab and mountain dew?
tab? i can’t give you a tab unless you order something.
Alright, give me a Pepsi Free.
you want a pepsi, pal, you’re gonna pay for it.
I must be one of those infidels who can switch between drinking Coke and Pepsi products with no issue at all.
I can switch between coke and pepsi products pretty well, but not between Coke and Pepsi specifically.
for the most part so can i, but i still have my preferences. coke vs pepsi, i like coke more but prefer the flavored pepsis over flavored cokes. i like sprite more than other lemon-lime sodas, but like cherry 7up more than sprite. all other fruit flavored sodas are interchangeable.
For all intents and purposes they are both the same bloody thing. Though I would probably choose Sierra Mist over Sprite if given the choice.
Sierra Mist, the other date rape drug.
I never thought I’d say this, but Joyce could actually stand to follow Billie’s example here.
I mean with the hand-over-your-drink thing. Not so much the other stuff.
Agreed. I was worried through the first three panels.
Hate to be the first to ask this, but have we met Ron in the other universe?
I don’t think so, unless he was a background Semme agent in one of the other squads.
He was in Roomies as Billie’s roommate before the Ruth scenario. He loved parties.
Oh, yeahhhhh. Forgot about him.
What soft drinks are your most favourites?
Mine are Mountain Dew, TAB cola, Fanta/Sunkist and Solo.
Jarritos! Each one is fruity tastegasm in a bottle!
Haven’t heard of that before but then again, I am not familar with Mexican softdrinks.
(Thank God for Wikipedia)
They are very mucho fantastico. lol
Jarritos are really good.
Favorites: Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Goose Island Root Beer
I used to be a heavy Mountain Dew drinker back in my stay-up-til-7 AM-sleep-till-11AM-work-til-11PM-rinse-and-repeat days. Then one day I was drinking it and went “Gah, too sweet! Is it always this sweet?” and I haven’t really liked to drink it since then.
Next to the Jarritos you’ll often find Sidral Mundet, the really yummy apple soda.
Hands down, Cherry. Coke. Zero.
That is disgusting.
Blasphemy!
But seriously, I love it, but to each their own.
Sierra Mist.
Mt. Dew Voltage, original Mt. Dew, Coke, Pepsi and 7up in that order. Jolt would have been in there, if it were still easily available locally, and hadn’t rebranded as an energy drink.
7-Up, Pepsi(sugar), Vanilla Coke, Cherry-Vanilla Pepsi, and IBC Root Beer.
I remember when I was a kid a friend of mine brought a drink in called Jolt Cola and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately they didn’t sell it in my State (Ohio) and I believe they went out of business recently.
When I think Jolt-Cola, I think of DnD.
Sussex brand cream soda, a drink that’s been unavailable since 1975. The closest I’ve found to that is Henry Weinhard’s, followed by Stewart’s, and then (to my surprise) Fanta, with Jone’s passing if nothing else is available.
Stewart’s key lime soda is best served with sushi. Accept no substitutes. Spiced meats usually go best with ginger beer, but birch or spruce beer are better suited to deli sandwiches. For ice cream floats, it’s got to be root beer, and Mr. Weinhard gets my nod in this category.
But by itself, it is cream soda, and it’s the one the Sussex brand used to make..
You do realize Fanta started out as a Nazi drink.
And they claim that Nazis are evil…
That is NOT even remotely funny or cute.
I fail to see how that is even the slightest bit relevant. The drink was created so that Coca-Cola could continue to sell in Nazi Germany without getting bad press on their main product. It’s not as though the drink itself is somehow evil because of that. I’m not gonna get upset at a company trying to make money, that’s kind of what they do.
Actually, the brand was created because the Coca-Cola company in Germany was cut off from the home company by the war and couldn’t get syrup to make Coke and instead came up with drinks they could make from available supplies and since it wasn’t Coke, they came up with the name Fanta. Until after WWII, the Coca-Cola company didn’t even know if the Nazi’s took over their plants or what.
How can a drink be a “Nazi drink”? I’m aware of Fanta’s history, and… as you apparently are _not_ aware of, the guy who ran the coke factory and started making Fanta (because he couldn’t import the ingredients for coke) _never in fact joined the Nazi party_.
Nazi drink = made out of liquified Nazi?
Only seems fair after some of the products the Nazis were making…
RC Cola. Or A&W Root Beer (Not the Barg’s swill, though.)
That’s almost as bad as asking for a Mountain Dew and getting a Mello Yello!
*Crazy Eye Twitch*
That literally happens when my husband asks if the place has Mountain Dew and they suggest Mellow Yellow.
I haven’t seen Mello Yello around for years now.
I hadn’t until recently when Chipotle opened up in the mall that I work at (Chick-Fil-A) and then my old RGM from KFC became the GM at a place called Kolache Factory and they have mello Yello there as well. There are some Chick-Fil-A’s that also carry it.
That’s because Mello Yello is disgusting. It’s got the worst aftertaste of any soda I’ve ever had.
or worse, Squirt!
Oh man! Squirt’s AWESOME! Thankfully our Kroger carries it. We like it better than Sprite, 7UP, or Sierra Mist.
It’s okay but I’ve never been a big fan of it.
Squirt is the best stuff ever. Especially the Ruby Red variety. Also, how has no one mentioned A&W root beer? Or IBC? Or Barq’s? Or Stroh’s? Or…
(I have a thing for root beer)
My grandparents always bought Squirt so I have this idea of it as a drink for old people and I’ve never been able to shake it.
Squirt has so much acid in it, it makes my teeth hurt. It’s awesome!
I LOVE root beer. My favorite Goose Island Root Beer, but I also like Jones and Boylan’s root beers. I prefer cane sugar root beers.
I can’t find Goose Island anywhere anymore! Where do you live so I may go there and purchase it?
Ever had Sprecher’s? Best stuff ever. Their ginger ale isn’t so good, though.
Barqs… the one that bites.
Oh God, Squirt. The taste is nothing special, it’s no Mountain Dew, but the Name. Who names a drink Squirt and makes it a foggy white color? You might as well just name it Semen!
So, Tim, are you a Squirtguzzler?
Hey, some ladies have been known to squirt.
And that’s BETTER?
Mountain dew’s the reason I drink iced tea now.
I do not want something terrible to happen to Joyce.
Part of it is because, well, I do not want something terrible to happen to Joyce. But I also don’t want to see the massive influx of “yeah, she deserved it!” scumbags who would post on here. I can sense them, hovering by their keyboards, WAITING.
What? wh… Who’s like that? I’ve never seen victim blamers here before.
Amazigirl is watching over her and The Cheese watches over Amazigirl. Joyce is safe.
Not to mention Jesus Christ has her back. She rolls with J-Chrissy yo!
I hope nothing bad happens to her either. This strip got my attention, though. I saw her drink something some random guy gave her and thought “JOYCE! NO——O!!!!!” and was then struck by the ironic punchline. Mission accomplished Mr. Willis, and kudos. ^__^
Wait. It seems as though peoples’ hypotheses that this is not in fact a keg party are gaining strength. This could just be an assembly of liberally-minded people (sort of like a College Democrats recruiting party?). After all, Billie DID put her shirt back on, that guy just gave Joyce a non-alcoholic and un-drugged drink, and these are supposed to be people that Roz considers her own.
Threat level downgraded from Red to Yellow. Proceed with caution.
So the night started out with joyce wanting to play apples to apples and carrying around 7-up. then she requests sprite at a frat party and then finally somebody slips her sierra mist. This strip is filled with blasphemy.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/06-yesterday-was-thursday/condition/
Says Sprite here.
Woah, now! Action Dorothy at the ready!
My campus has made a deal with the devil (i.e. Pepsi Co.), there is no Coke or Sprite sold anywhere here, only Pepsi and Sierra Mist. I feel Joyce’s pain.
My campus used to have only Coke products. I had to get caffeine by adding Vault to Fanta. Then they added Pepsi and my caffeine addiction went through the roof.
Blech.. Sierra Mist….
Oh that son of a bongo! Kick his ass, Dorothy!
Ah well. At the very least, no sour cream and onions chex mix yet.
That’s it! Sour cream and onions Sierra Mist! That’ll blow the party wide open! (But not in a good way). :p
Oh that rude sonuva, how dare he pick what could possibly be the closest thing to Sprite? Time to unload all the memes on this guy. All of them. (What were they?)
Sierra Mist? (Apparently) That’s a slap in the FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCEEE!
…with his penis.
For a nickel
With her femurs.
From Amazi-Girl, who is (of course) Spider-Car.
Y’know, the Meme Chain is practically a meme in itself now.
But they need the meme chain to liiiiive! …and femurs.
I was about to say, if no one made a FAAAAACE joke I would’ve been shocked.
After all, you have to drink Sierra Mist with your faaaaaaaace. (Or at least your mooooooooouth.)
With vermouth? Talk about your mixed up mixed drinks.
All the 90s kids in the house say “SURGE!”
Aw yeah! I loved that stuff.
(But I’m weird enough to have liked Crystal Pepsi too, so…)
Yeah, Surge was the best Mt Dew alternative, Vault, which I understand to have originally been proposed as a rebranded reintroduction, is just nothing near as good.
What?! No love for Coke II? lol
Dang it…. I really really want some Surge now. o.o Also for some weird reason want Vanilla Coke too…. I’ve been too long without soda! This diet thing is killing me or something.
Well, we now know that should anyone attempt to roofie Joyce, Dorothy will end them.
Also, being new to the Midwest and never having seen either before in my life, what is the deal with RC Cola and Big Red?
They are bad. Drink Faygo instead.
I haven’t even seen that one yet.
I have no idea what a Faygo is but Big Red is yummy. Just don’t hand me one when I’m expecting strawberry soda. Yeucch!
Faygo is a brand of soda manufactured out of Michigan and distributed through most of the Midwestern/Southern USA. They make a lot of flavors, and some of these are good while the others are comparable to a glass of…well…let’s just say they’re not so good. It’s the poor man’s sugar fix. I love their cream soda, and a flavor called “red rock and rye”, but the rest is positively AWFUL, Insane Clown Posse be damned.
Why does everyone have to remind me that ICP is from my hometown? I spend a lot of time trying to forget that fact. And for those of you not from Michigan, here is a list of faygo flavors that are generally considered good:
Red Pop, Rock and Rye, Moon Mist, Grape, Orange, Peach, Black Cherry, Cream Soda, Moon Mist (still under review IMO), Root Beer… anything with “Ohana” in the name (there’s a lot of them)
RC Cola is bad now, but before they replaced sugar with HFCS in every soda, Royal Crown Cola was. the. best. cola. EVER.
So just travel 30 years or so into the past and Bob’s yer uncle!
I…I wasn’t TALKING about Michigan or Detroit. I was talking about FAYGO, which sponsors ICP. The only other reason I brought them up at all is because of the fact that since they were associated with Faygo they said it was the best drink ever, and I called them out.
i don’t think joyce has anything to worry about. she’s going to be nursing that drink all night.
Gotta sound out against Joyce in this (sorry everyone!). Sprite was always a poor substitute to 7-Up to my sense of taste, but it often ended up being what I had to drink at restaurants if I wasn’t in the mood for a Coke. I dunno, it always left a bit of an aftertaste I didn’t care for.
On the other hand, I’ve found Sierra Mist to be quite tasty, and I’ve even been known to select it over 7-Up if both are available. Taste is in the tongue of the beholder… or something.
You DARE to oppose Joyce? Get on your knees and BEG for our forgiveness, traitor!
Sierra Mist IS THE DEVIL
Gotta admit, I like seeing Dorothy so quick to Joyce’s defense.
They’ve only just met a few days ago, right?
Less likely due to her liking Joyce and more likely the result of pitying her.
That fiend!
Been said probably countless times on the comments already but….
That fiend. Only the power of Coca-Cola brand products can quench the thirst at a party like this. That or Mountain Dew. But Coca-Cola brand products will have to suffice!
I like how Joyce is all proud of herself for not wanting booze. “Oh, just SPRITE for me, please, I don’t drink because Jesus LOVES meeee.” True to life, y’know?
I don’t drink and it’s not because Jesus loves me (although he does). It’s simply because I never much cared for the taste of alcohol in any form.
No judgment on people who drink. If they like it, good for them. I don’t.
I find it very sad that none of you have mentioned THE BEST softdrink on the planet yet.
I am, of course, talking about Cheerwine!
Second favorite: RC (not the diet version, that’s just paint remover in a 2ltr bottle).
And I can tell a slight difference between Sprite and Sierra Mist, but it’s nothing major.
I tried Cheerwine once, and that was enough for me. You can have all the Cheerwine for yourself, because I don’t want any.
101.
“Ron”?
I have no idea what is Sierra Mist… but I guss it must be something similar too Sprite but from another company XD Time to read the other contents too.
It tastes like a watered down 7-up. It’s very hard to compare stuff bottled in the US because not every market is served by the same bottling company, so mixtures aren’t always the same. Here 7-up tastes more watered down than Sprite does. Pepsi products all do.
Here in Mexico we get 7-up sold by the pepsi company which I do like more than sprite to be honest XD
I also heard it tastes diferent because of things like the water and the sugar used.
So at what point will the girls realize that they’re at the wrong house party? I’m thinking it’ll be when the Bible study starts and Joyce ends up wanting to stay and they ask Billie to take her pre-drunking flask and leave. I can understand why Dorothy is being vigilant but if they were really worried about their safety, Joyce would have introduced her to Mike and they would have hired him to chaperone.
lmao ive done that before ask for sierra and gotten sprite
Well he just got his (as-of-yet-nonexistent) name taken off the potential hubby list!
So… you think the glass full of Sierra Mist is the reason for the Ron tag?
As a person no longer allowed to have caffeine, I have to say that Sierra Mist NATURAL is really the only way to go. But barring that, I’d have to say Sprite because for some reason the original Sierra Mist sucks a big one.
Why? I dunno.
They actually don’t make regular Sierra Mist anymore, apparently. It was discontinued in 2010… Except for soda fountains.
Why had nobody realized that “Ron” is “Ronnie” AKA Ronald Regan from Shortpacked!
Oh Yeah… because of the Sierra Mist thing. God damn it Ronnie…
Ron does look like what Ronnie would if he were young again, maybe he regenerated with the Power of PATRIOTISM!
Hey, it is a completely different universe, maybe he was just born in a different year… yanno like how Beef is older then Danny who was Walky’s fake twin and as such a year younger than him. Or the age difference between Sarah and Joyce… just more extreme…
Well, he gets credit, he’s paying attention to joyce unlike everyone else in the party. But damn him for giving her a Sierra Mist. May his punishment know no end!
So Joyce should marry him?
I hate it when I ask for Sprite and get Sierra Mist. No, really, I do.
I can practically hear blood vessels popping when my husband asks a server if they have Mountain Dew and they say “We have Mellow Yellow.”
Sierra Mist does not make Joyce’s melonball bounce.
Well, that settles it; Joyce should not be at this party. Yeah, it was only Sierra Mist (presuming that Joyce’s taste buds are a reliable detector of foreign substances), but good grief girl, you just accepted it and drank. After a warning that roofie-ing can happen! It’s cute that you’re cute and innocent, but being cute won’t help a puppy cross a highway either.
Okay seriously, by your logic, no one should ever go to a party ever. The people who have the experience to know what and what not to do when they go to a party are the ones who have already been to parties. Yes, Joyce just did something which might be considered stupid, but then again, we’re assuming it’s the kind of party where someone’s going to slip something into someone else’s drink. For all we know, this could be a rather nice and relaxing party and Billie is the exception, not the norm. Either way, Joyce is no worse off than any other first-time party goer.
She was warned to keep an eye on her drinks. Five minutes later – ‘Hey strange man, thanks for the drink! ‘ Apparently she has the cognitive retention of a squirrel, and/or the self preservative instinct of a moth beelining for an open flame.
I would hazard that the average partygoer isn’t *quite* this detached from reality. For a random example, Dorothy and the falling down drunk Billie are managing to be a bit more cautious than her.
So are lots of other first time party-goers who STILL accept a drink from a person. Also, it’s a clear drink. It they slipped something in there, you would easily see some sort of sign, whether it be discolouration or pigments of something, so it’s easy enough for Joyce to have seen it was clear and drank it.
Also, where are you getting this “detached from reality”? Joyce may not know everything about life, but she knows somethings. Also, Dorothy has openly stated that she knows as much about parties as Joyce does, and Billie falls under the category of “party veteran”.
As for her memory and preservation skills, she appears to be good at Math which cannot be done if one does not have a good memory, and she has entered college alive, which suggests she managed to survive for almost two decades without dying or suffering any major harm.
…The Hangover: Dumbing of Age…
So with the whole ‘Mountain Dew vs Mello Yello’ debate going on, should I bring up Sundrop is better than both of them?
Just in case you didn’t know.
What debate? I work drive-through in fast food and I don’t think I’ve ever had someone ask for a Mountain Dew. Everyone asks for dr. pepper despite being aware that we sell coke products, but nobody’s ever asked for a mountain dew.
So… Joyce has a superpower in the comic too? THE ABILITY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPRITE AND SIERRA MIST! Her one weakness? 7-Up
I’ve never been able to tell the difference between Sprite/SierraMist or Pepsi/Coke. But other people apparently can.
…I can *probably* pick out Mello Yello from Mountain Dew, though.
It’s a good thing that they have 7up internationally. Sierra Mist could never be sold in Germany, as “Mist” in German literally translates to “crap”..
Man, what planet are you all from? Sierra Mist rules.
That Bastard!
Ugh, Sierra Mist is nasty
Anybody else think Coca-Cola Blak needs to be brought back? The stuff was awesome. Only Coke product I really liked.
Ugh, no. Coke + coffee sounded good in theory, but to me the drink had a NASTY graham cracker aftertaste. It was horrible.
I’m trying to parse how “nasty” and “graham cracker” are part of the same sentence.
Oh no. The horror. What a fiend.
/token outrage
The best I’ve ever tasted? 7-Up that was bottled in Hawaii. Because they used locally grown Hawaiian cane sugar. Soooooo tasty.
That rat bastard. Sierra Mist is no Sprite.
Sierra = Mountain range
Mist = cloud of water droplets
I’ve never heard of this drink before, but doesn’t the name sound like a Mountain Dew rip-off?
It’s a lemon-lime soda, similar to Sprite or 7up. It’s made by Pepsi, so it very well may be that they named it similar to Mountain Dew which has been around for a long time.
THE HORROR.
GET HIM.
FORESHADOWING!!!!!
Also, damn, Ron’s nice in this ‘verse, especially considering if I recall correctly he was the only one Ruth had no nice words for the first time Danny showed up at her place.
This is blasphemy, and it is the sort of blasphemy restaurants who don’t carry coke products don’t seem to get. THESE ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE SOFT DRINKS, DAMMIT! STOP PRETENDING THEY ARE!
