I just found out they still make this. It hasn't been available in my neck of the woods since around the time I was in the 8th grade. Anybody had this shit lately? Is it still carbonated?

I might've tried it one time, but I'm more of a Gatorade or Powerade person.

All Sport is a sports drink similar to Gatorade and POWERade. It was created by PepsiCo, as their response to The Coca-Cola Company's POWERade. All Sport originally was carbonated, but many athletes and consumers objected to this, as it was not consistent with the healthful nature of sports drinks. With PepsiCo's acquisition of the Quaker Oats Company, the makers of Gatorade, in 2001, All Sport was sold off to the The Monarch Beverage Company, of Atlanta, Georgia. In 2007, All Sport was purchased by Gary Smith who is currently the Chairman & CEO of All Sport, Inc. based in Austin, TX

Ok I've learned something for today.

Hey, All Sport! It was the bastard sports drink. Reminds me of 1993-94. Im going to go drink some weird new drink called Fruitopia and listen to some Little Miss Cant Be Wrong and some Ants Marching.

Fruitopia. I haven't thought about that in a while. That reminds me of something. Does anybody remember the Snapple with the fat lady on the label in a lounge chair? It was different because the label covered the whole bottle, not just the middle like usual. It was some orange/peach-like concoction or something. I dunno. I just remember it was good and I could sure use one right about now.

I just remember when I went to scout camp when i was 8 they had loads of allsport and fruitopia. Dave Matthews was just coming on the scene for us then.

They made this shit look like a sports drink. But it was carbonated. Well, I didn't think about it and chugged a big jug of it after basketball practice in 8th grade and then threw up for like twenty minutes in the locker room.

It's ironic that the guy on the cover looks roided out.

Maybe they should marry the two and make candy injections.

Despite being based on the always disgusting chew, Big League Chew was always a very tasty gum.

Oh yeah, and it was a little league must.

The snapple was Orange Tropic. I would like to find this All Sport, the new stuff. I remember that pepsi pushed it hard when they were selling it, but it was a quick and painful epic fail. I think that is why they were so happy to get Gatorade. Fruitopia was really good, and had all these trippy designs to go along with the neo, early to mid ninties hippy movement. Coke still makes some of the flavours, but they were renamed and now are under the Minute Maid label. They did that back in 2001. Pepsi's Fruit Works, yet another attempt by Pepsi to clone something, failed as well, I used to drink shitloads of their pink lemonade, for free even, my friend worked at a subway when I was in high school. That got rolled under their tropicana label then.

Ah, yes, Allsport. One of the ingredients in the day of baseball and then ice cream that sent me to the ER with an unbearable, brain-shattering migraine. Good stuff, though.

That's it. Fucking A. I used to drink the shit out of that stuff my junior year in high school. I'm guessing that is a discontinued flavor. If not I wonder where I can get some. I know its not around here. I've been trying to figure out what it was for years now. Good looking out! 1-UP

Zima. I remember in my early beer drinking days. I could drink beer. But if I had a Zima, I couldn't go from that back to the beer. Beer just tasted nasty after that. Then I started drinking Two Dogs. After that, I couldn't drink a Zima.

How about Bartles & Jaymes' Classic Original flavor? I remember sneaking these when I was in like 8th grade. I had a buddy who never drank. Once he turned 21, I guess he thought it was okay. I remember going over to his house one day and he had this shit. Out of the blue he just asks me if I wanted a Bartles & Jaymes. I asked if he had original. He pulls one out. It was 1994 all over again.
