From what I remember, they got bought out by Coke and the quality rapidly declined shortly after. Plastic bottles, basic flavors, no more witty lizard quips in the cap.
That’s boldly incorrect, have you been in a store recently? Sugar is the main ingredient in damn near everything. Even the sugar has added sugar these days
I actually think he might be right. At some point during the 2000s, the media was coming out with a ton of articles and stories about "X has Y calories" as part of a shaming campaign. I think a number of brands changed their formulas, only to decline because they didn't taste as good.
That being said I also seem to remember a law being passed that banned big gulps, so I could just be misremembering and things. I was a kid.
