whoa wait where'd you get that the slurping machine in the back that's embalming fluid
the beverage industry is highly competitive and companies debut risky products to try to grab a
share of the market but many are duds so let's take a look at the top ten disgusting beverage
fails part two twisted tropicana propaganda twister flavors mother nature never intended but
show them and they make you drink it we've come to expect that a beverage under the tropicana brand
should be somewhat healthy or at the very least healthier than regular soft drinks after all the
company is best known for its orange juice a drink full of vitamins and nutrients tropicana's fruit
fury twisters were supposed to be hip and bold but apparently weren't supposed to be very healthy
this is a flat soda masquerading as a fruit juice based drink why don't you just put some
broccoli in there greed for a bigger piece of the beverage market could be the only explanation for
a decision like this wonder how much money tropicana spent or wasted on bringing this
ill-conceived beverage to the market only to watch it become a clear-cut disgusting beverage fail
tropicana has been good at selling orange juice and some other products for a pretty long time
so hopefully they'll just go back to doing that trust me we have to go back so be it
i typically am not a big fan of green tea because it has sort of a bite to it green tea is a healthy
beverage full of antioxidants so when you buy a sodi tea that's what you want you want it to
be a relatively healthy drink but what were you really buying tea is healthy yeah sure but this is
another case where you might as well have bought a soda at least when you buy a soda you know what
you signed up for when you buy it so b is owned by pepsico so perhaps this explains the reliance
on sugar sweet tooth that's fine for sodas but for green tea not so cool if you're trying to get the
healthy benefits of green tea you can easily make your own hot or cold tea for just pennies and only
add as much sugar as you want if soby and other drink makers want to play games then so be it
consumers are now wise to their games and have given them a big thumbs down shouldn't we have
expected more from sobe this has been a successful beverage company with a number of popular drinks
so i guess they got a little ahead of their skis with this one something many companies have done
so we could give them a pass but careful so be you're on sin ice come on ice may be thin but
it's strong enough to hold a 10-ton mammoth in a 9-ton possum snapple out of it yes we're not the
only ones that love snapping why do new yorkers love this stuff more than anybody snapple was at
the forefront as iced tea was revealed to be a viable competitor in the soft drink market this
premium tea full of flavorful varieties developed quite a profile by name alone snapple which today
almost serves as a stand-in for iced tea in some circles there are some pretty common flavors like
lemon and some slightly fancier ones such as raspberry tea snapple also offers a variety of
fruit juices and this is where everything went south the company decided to inflict us with a
product it named agave mill in antioxidant water right off the bat the name itself is too long and
almost pretentious to a certain extent all while checking off various healthy drink requirements
the problem with this drink is that it's not very healthy it turns out that the natural
flavoring used in the drink the agave nectar was basically just a liquid sugar snapple can
i get a snapple that's lightly sweetened yes sugar is all natural but that doesn't mean
it's a healthy food so you probably shouldn't make a drink touted as a healthy alternative
then load it up with a high calorie sweetener it just doesn't make sense actually i'm gonna
stick with my snapple if that's okay that's cool with me wake up pepsi fuller go easy on the pepsi
maybe pepsico would like to blame pepsi am on the 1980s after all the 1980s also brought us cabbage
patch kids and the last star fighter whatever the reason the soft drink giant decided it wanted to
compete with the most popular morning drink in the universe coffee millions of people drink
this beverage every day and many of them drink it mostly for the caffeine hit it provides however a
lot of people really don't like coffee but still need the caffeine enter pepsi am this variant of
pepsi was marketed explicitly as a morning drink and had 28 more caffeine than regular pepsi
all right give me a pepsi free if you want a pepsi pal you're gonna pay for it the drink was
test marketed in several places around the united states but it didn't do well with soda drinkers
or coffee drinkers for that matter the truth is the folks over at pepsi should have known
that soda drinkers were already enjoying their regular cola in the morning and it was just
enough to get their caffeine fix if people were already using the company's product this way
why couldn't the beverage giant market it in such a way there would have been no need for
all this pepsi am morning soda nonsense in the end while it may not have been that disgusting it's
certainly a beverage fail pepsico would rather forget about hey forget about it frito lamonade
get your llama llama lemonade right here we all know that frito lay is a big snack
chip manufacturer and most of us have enjoyed the company's products more than once chips are salty
so naturally we'd want a cold beverage to go with them like a soda or even maybe lemonade this was
probably frito-lay's thought process because they decided to come up with their own line of drinks
including lemonade in 1998. since pepsico owns frito-lay this attempt to break into the soft
drink market seemed a little like double dipping on the company's part it looks like
pepsi came up with a way to market frito-lay chips and its soft drinks as a snacking pair
two birds with one stone we might say associating certain flavors with specific kinds of chips
was a great way to sell both items like what would go best with a bag of cool ranch doritos
don't touch my doritos seriously perhaps a tall cold glass of lemonade anyway that's what the
marketing professionals at these companies are paid for so they should be able to figure it
out it's very possible that a little work and creativity on their part could have avoided
this lemonade becoming a bit of a drink joke it says a lot about frito-lay and pepsico that they
couldn't make something as simple as lemonade work lemonade's for babies anyways i'm going to moe's
for beer crystal frapp you frapped me she frapped me i got frapping mustache the crystal ball
frappuccino was supposed to be the next big thing at starbucks but unfortunately the coffee giant
couldn't foresee that this particular beverage was destined to experience a very unfortunate
fate this 2018 offering wasn't the first drink fired from the starbucks frappuccino arsenal
like the colorful unicorn frappuccino drink which graced us with its limited time presence in 2017.
social media helped this sweet coffee drink to go viral around the world to the consternation
of many baristas who had to work double time at the coffee machines to concoct this fantasy drink
that was all too real the crystal ball frappuccino however was a green glittered drink that for some
unexplained reason tasted like a peach you may wish for an apple or an orange but you will get
a peach different colored candy gems were supposed to tell the customers their future
but apparently they would just annoy them instead this drink had a short lifespan before vanishing
into thin air the gems failed to divine the fate of this starbucks beverage fail
so perhaps the coffee giant will be a little more careful the next time it wants to create
a social media driven product without putting too much thought into it oh i wish i was dead
rocky mountain h2o can you not tell that i don't want any water it's not hard to find water not
even the sparkling kind at your local convenience store grocery store vending machine it's literally
everywhere coors makes good beer and apparently makes it with good water sourced from the rocky
mountains in colorado fancy right but it wasn't good enough to sell beer made from this water
the company had to take it one step further it decided it should sell the water too unless they
were giving a bottle of water to customers for every bottle of beer to encourage proper hydration
it sounds like a pointless and silly idea this is not a good idea the coors marketing team
could have come up with this idea as a fun and helpful promotion but instead they got greedy
and tried to get into the bottled water game an already saturated segment of the beverage market
sparkling fresh water is a selling point for coors beer but it didn't seem to be much of a selling
point for coors water because as we all know water is just water after all there isn't much
more to say about it than that while it's true many people spend a lot of money on bottled water
there are so many brand name and off brand name sources of water to choose from no one
was crying out for coors sparkling water although there is no reason to think this
sparkling water was disgusting it was certainly a pretty glaring and obvious beverage fail
bacon soda there's bacon right here and where there's bacon there's bacon grease yes bacon soda
was a real thing it actually existed people might think you're saying baking soda the common baking
ingredient in cakes and other pastries but no it's a bacon flavored soda that was actually put on the
market for actual sale the world has officially seen everything several soft drink companies
manufactured the dubious beverage including the lester's and jones brands even if you really like
bacon it's unclear why anyone would want to drink anything bacon flavored this particular flavor
feels like one of those novelty flavors sold purely for the publicity you think bacon soda
is gross so do we but here's a bunch of flavors you might like pretty much any other flavor sounds
more appealing than bacon no bacon today you got a nutrition flag means no bacon this disgusting
beverage fail is right up there with another classic the gravy flavored soda no one would
actually want these but those who do would have a story to tell if they were willing to try them
why would someone pivot so far from tradition and create something as barbaric as bacon these are
just gimmicks companies try to use to get the attention they apparently can't get with their
regular flavors maybe if they'd come out with something like an egg flavored soda to drink
alongside they would have something on their hands because after all we all know that breakfast sodas
are the next big thing bacon's like the opposite of medicines like ah take that lipitor i'm bacon
red lobster rita sell 9-1-1 it's the lobster squad the title of this item should speak volumes about
what exactly went wrong here red lobster is a popular seafood chain that is known for well
it's seafood dishes like lobster and shrimp but took it upon itself to try to get into the pricey
trendy cocktail game instead of landing the big one however the restaurant chain ended up with a
lobster on its face a lobsterita as you might have guessed is red lobster's version of the margarita
so popular at mexican restaurants the strawberry version of the drink has about 500 calories with
almost 70 grams of sugar mmm that must be the sugar if this drink was a dessert it would
make a little more sense as if this lobster rita wasn't bad enough the seafood chain also offers a
drink called a lotta colada this drink boasts almost a hundred grams of sugar which easily
adds up to nearly 600 calories now this drink isn't like dessert anymore it's the whole meal
these are the kind of beverage fails that happen when restaurants feel like they have to swerve out
of their lanes trying to be something they're not red lobster is a family eatery for seafood lovers
red lobster is not a club where 20 somethings go to party so why pretend like it is then stop
pretending to be select 55 then delete this beer smells funky can i have a new one please beer
drinkers are as a general rule not complicated they expect good tasting beer for a decent price
even with the popularity of fancy microbreweries and the somewhat snubbing of the beer market
beer is still beer in 2009 along came budweiser with its select 55 which the company describes as
the lightest beer in the world with fewer calories than any other beer option currently available
most beer drinkers know that beer isn't exactly the healthiest option not all of
us want the healthy alternative it doesn't have fat but because it's made from grains there are
carbohydrates and where there are carbs there are calories budweiser apparently thought it
could get around the whole carbs and calories thing and keep the flavor this just sounds like
madness and a violation of the laws of chemistry even if you're not a beer fan you can probably
work out what budweiser did wrong who thought selling a watery tasteless beer would be anything
other than a fail anyway what if the plan was to fail stick around and tap that screen for more
