If the orange-flavored Mountain Dew LiveWire ever became an energy drink, it would look and taste a lot like Amp Energy Relaunch. Sporting an increase in sodium to better "revive" you like a sports drink, the flavor wasn't too bad. It was mild, not too artificial, and compared to other energy drinks on the market, didn't taste gross.

From the beverage rumor mill… PepsiCo is looking to roll out a couple of flavor extensions to its Amp Energy Drink, including Grape and Orange. Possible launch date would be March. With Amp's NASCAR sponsorship and Super Bowl commercial, it looks like this brand is really shooting for growth in 2008.

From the rumor mill… an orange-flavored version of Sierra Mist, marketed under the name of Sierra Mist Undercover Orange. Discovered via a filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, could this finally be Pepsi's replacement for Orange Slice?

This beverage review of Sunkist notes that it's one of the few orange sodas that actually contains caffeine, in contrast to such other popular options such as Fanta Orange, Tropicana Twister Soda Orange, and Orange Crush. And frankly, it's better than those.

A beverage review submitted live from Costa Rica… it's Fanta Naranja, the local version of Fanta Orange. Without HCFS and packed with "azucar", it tastes awesome!

What's wrong with a beverage review where you note that "the packaging has somewhat of a goofy logo, though I must admit that I really liked the contrasting orange/blue color scheme"? Yeah, the drink is an afterthought.

After having tasted Coke's current orange soda entry (Fanta Orange) and Pepsi's somewhat-forgotten product (Orange Slice), it was time to give the folks at Cadbury Schweppes a try, as they currently have the licensing rights to Orange Crush.
Crush is somewhat hard to find these days, but it's still around. I seem to remember seeing [...]

After trying Coke's current entry into the orange soda market (Fanta Orange), it was time to give Pepsi's Orange Slice a fair shot. Slice used to be the main "fruit" brand for Pepsi, coming in orange, lemon lime, apple, strawberry, and other flavors (similar to how the Fanta brand is used today).
When all of [...]

Following up my experience with Fanta Strawberry, I decided to give the flagship Fanta Orange a try.
The funny thing is that I got this bottle of Fanta free thanks to the bottle cap on my Fanta Strawberry. I won a free bottle of Fanta, so I thought I'd keep the cycle going by moving [...]

Personally, this stuff didn't taste very good.
In a January 23 editorial, the folks at Beverage Digest had more to say on the move [...]
