It's most remembered for its odd marketing slogan, "the hedonistic nectar of greed and power. You think you drink it? No, it drinks you!"

These bring me so much nostalgia, they remind me of childhood summers, especially little league games, when my coach would take us to the local Orange Lazarus stand whenever we won! Anyone else have any fun summer memories of these slushy treats?

I remember that trash talking ginger kid being totally shut down by one

Heard a band practicing 3 streets over on the way to school one day. Got obsessed with the song they were playing but when I came back the band was gone. Looked for the song on the airwaves and had no luck. Pre-Shazam days, so that was out. Had to start my own band and try to recreate it myself.

Did you have the guy who reads your electric meter play guitar for you? That's really the key

Recruiting my math teacher for bass was also a coup; though I didn’t appreciate it at the time.

In related news, my town has one of the only remaining operational pay phones still in existence in 2024, and it's been ringing non stop for nearly 60 years now. Any advice on how to make this stop?

I loved how they stained your tongue and it would last for 3 or even 4 days And that metallic after taste 😋 Like aluminum foil on a filling

I miss the Raspberry Nimrod the most, I think

I wanted to try Lemon Moses, but every time I put the straw in, the liquid parted away from it.

does your dog bite? hey sandy.

It's what I always do, post about discontinued foods! 😉

Pretty sure you can still get them at Panera in some areas.

Epic brain freeze.

Drink them while eating Fig Newlies and quick as a bunny pizza

Fig newlies keep me up all night so I try to stay away

the nightcrawlers could never

I desire it. My will is strong enough. It won't harm me

Really amazing story of the guy who invented them too. He wanted world peace.

I have to see this show again, its been decades. I read a synopsis, and the store owner is named Oppenheimer and his slush machines have radiation hazard stickers. LOL.

Uh-huh. Sure.

They must not have had them in your region

I hate Liars' Day.

Am i seeing that this is a Pete & Pete reference?

Hahaha bingo!

I'll go ahead and assume you aren't familiar with "The Adventures of Pete and Pete"?

It's been a while. But I used to watch it pretty often, though that was only when I was with my dad since mom didn't have cable

I dig...to be fair, it's a pretty deep cut obscure reference haha. I ran this out last year too, it's fun to see who gets the reference.

Took me a bit.
