Tropicana Twister Orange cannot defeat timeless classics like Orange Crush/Slice. The former doesn't taste bad, but made my intestines glow and took 3 months off of my life. Good review…

I, along with most of the reviews I have read, think Tropicana Twister Orange and Grape soda was the best thing since sliced bread. I, also, have benn unable to find it on store shelves anywhere. I have reluctantly tried Orange and Grape Crush, and believe me, there is no comparison.

Wow Im surprised by all of you people claiming to like Tropicana Twister Orange. The only reason that it may have seemed like it sold out anywhere is because there was never much shelf space for it, so if one person bought 2 12 packs of it, most stores would have had either an empty shelf or a 1/2 empty shelf. The top 3 selling Orange Sodas of 2008 went like this: #1 Sunkist(by far) #2 Fanta #3 Twister Orange(Sales were about 1/2 of Fantas).

As for whoever said Crush is a Coke product, that is false. It is a Dr Pepper/Snapple Group product, and Pepsi Bottling Group purchased the distribution rights in the USA last year, and have been distributing it since early 2009. It has indeed replaced Tropicana Twister Orange, and it's sales have been astonishing. It is on pace to surpass Sunkist for the top spot in 2009.

I do have good news though for you Twister Orange fans. You can still find it on tap at a good amount of Target stores, at their Food Avenue. It is not just a sticker on the fountain, but the "bag in a box" is actually Twister Orange.

Tropicana Twister Orange Soda IS the BEST!!! What happened??? I can't find it anymore… has it been discontinued??? Why is this happening to GOOD orange sodas - remember Minute Maid Orange? That was before Twister - and it was the BEST - then, discontinued!!! And we still have Shasta Orange (good "bite", lousy taste - as all Shasta sodas, low on flavor), Orange Crush (no "bite", ok taste), and Fanta Orange (no "bite" no taste)??? Aargg!!! Now I'm going through the painful task of trying to find a decent (almost good) orange soda… AGAIN!!!

I agree that Twister Orange is by far the best orange drink out there and it was always getting sold out. I think that it tastes better in cans than plastic, too, but now it's almost impossible to find either on the west coast but it's still available in Florida and other places in the south. Being a Pepsico product it wouldn't be replaced by Orange Crush as that's a Coca Cola product.

I'm guessing this has been replaced by Orange Crush. Sad news. I'd rather have Twister Orange stick around. I went to a vending machine and picked a bottle of Twister and it spit out a bottle of Orange Crush. Of course I'd pick Orange Slice over Twister. I'd pick Sunkist over that. And I agree with you that I'd pick all of them over Fanta ha.

Tropicana Twister Orange is the best. Unfortanely I can't seem to find it on the shelves anymore. I really wish they would bring it back. It was always sold out so I don't understand why they did away with it. Wrong move!!

Orange twister is so much better than any other orange soda on the market. Fanta has no flavor at all, and Crush tastes like pure sugar.
Personally, I think twister tastes better out of the can than out of a plastic bottle. It's usually the other way around. Either way I'm thinking the factory botched-up a batch and that's the one you tried.

Agree. Twister Orange and especially Grape are really good and they sell like they were about to go out of market in the next 24 hours. I personally love Grape.

You are way off man ! This soda is 4 th in line for sales right after Pepsi,Coke and Mountain Dew. In fact, it is so popular it is almost always sold out on shelfs in Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho. Every store from Coast to Coast sells it. The taste is far better than Crush. Sorry you were not impressed, but if you talk to any store that sells it, you will find out just how popular it is.
