Coke Freestyle machines seem to have all of the soda flavors you could ever want. But not even the Coke Freestyle dispensers can bring back the discontinued sodas of yore. From the inventive (Coca-Cola combined with coffee, anyone?) to the truly strange (we're looking at you, bacon soda), the beverage industry has come up with some wild creations over the years.

Here are a few soda flavors that have gone the way of the dinosaur. We can't say we miss them, but it's fun to reminisce about these vintage options.

Does this include Fanta and Tab, maybe RC Cola, which I put a bunch of salted peanuts in as a kid, accompanied by eating a moon pie at the same time.

Never heard of any of them except for the New Coke. That caused quite a hubbub.

Hopefully Starlight flavoured Coca-Cola will join the list. It tastes like a combo of cotton candy and Coke. I don’t like it at all.

I get sad when my favorite flavor is removed from the shelves.
It did not happen today though.

Fanta and RC are still very much alive and well. Tab even got brought back, but was discontinued in 2020.

Oh, God. I was a stupid college kid in 1984 and drank Hubba Bubba soda with strawberry schnapps and vodka. (I already said I was stupid) I must have had 12? 15? Enough to end up hugging the toilet until I passed out. And that was the end of Hubba Bubba.

Lol cystal pepsi was not sprite, heck it wasn’t even lemon lime. It was essentially pepsi without the carmel coloring supposedly making it less acidic tasting.
