Does anyone else remember...

That shit was awesome!

 

1-800-I-FEEL-OK

I do. It was like Coke and Orange mixed together. But the cans were fun to read.

I loved the stuff. Occasionally when getting a fountain soda or if I have everything available at home, I make myself a faux OK Soda (Coke, Pibb/Dr. Pepper and Orange).

[Vern Gagne]

When Burger King was the only fast food place in my area who allowed free refills. I would mix all the selections, and it tasted similiar to OK Soda.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

I don't remember the stuff although I have heard about it.

 

Supposedly the mixture to make your own is 3/4 Coke , 1/4 Orange Soda and a splash of Mr. Pibb. Since OK was made by Coca Cola and all 3 of those are made by Coca Cola, it doesn't surprise me that that combo supposedly tastes the same.

 

While that sounds interesting, Im not so sure I would have liked it.

 

Oh, and this makes it seem even worse:

 

Downbeat soft drink introduced in selected cities by Coca-Cola in mid-1994. The brainchild of Coke marketing chief Sergio Zyman (who also developed the new age "brainwater" Fruitopia), OK Soda targeted the Generation X marketing niche by packaging an off-tasting beverage in matte-gray cans featuring slackers drawn by comic book artists including Dan Clowes andCharles Burns. With an advertising scheme developed by Portland ad power Wieden & Kennedy, the OK Soda's launch featured offbeat slogans like "don't think there has to be a reason for everything." There was a 1-800-I-FEEL-OK hotline, where callers could record comments, listen to the cynical comments of others (ad agency plants, it transpired), and undergo a "personality test" that included such true/false statements as: "Sometimes my TV sends special messages to me." OK Soda's message failed to penetrate: lackluster sales led to its 1995 re-packaging as a "unique fruity soda."

 

I gotta steal the "Sometimes my TV sends special messages to me" line..
