I'm someone who questions why they kept the Beverly.

They must keep Beverly for the pure shock value of it. Where else can you have this conversation with an unsuspecting friend:

You: Try the Beverly. A lot of people like it.
[They try it...make a repulsed face.]
Them: Ack! That tastes like carbonated ear wax! How can you like that?!?!?
You: I didn't say that *I* like it. Just some people do. [snicker snicker]

Personally, we both like Beverly. It isn't a sweet pop - it is a good bitter soda that would go really well with salty snacks like sardines, olives, and would pair really well with gin or vermouth. Stop the hate. Just cause it's carbonated doesn't mean it needs to be sweet.

I know jiving on the Beverly is popular, but I for one am a Beverly supporter. Not that I don't love the watermelon...

Wouldn't it be fun to redo Club Cool with a Monsters Inc. theme? Don't change the drinks - just change the names and let the kids have a great time. Names like sludge, ooze, or whatever they used in the movies...

How would that make it all fitting to its environment? Walt Disney World needs less slapping on of franchises wherever there is a void of them.

So true - odd tastings drinks from around the world is so FutureWorld.

While the purpose is product placement, there is the connection to World Showcase. Monsters have nothing to do with any aspect of the park except the lack of respect for themed entertainment as its own medium which created this notion that Disney parks need existing franchises.

Club Cool is not closing, but it is getting some new flavors starting Oct 30.

  • Fanta Pineapple. With more than 90 distinct flavors available in more than 180 countries, Fanta made its European debut in the 1940s and was introduced to the USA in 1960. Fanta Pineapple is caffeine-free and features a sweet pineapple taste.
  • Originally launched in Japan in 1992, VegitaBeta is a non-carbonated beverage with apricot and passion fruit flavors and is rich in beta-carotene that contributes to its unique yellowish-orange color.
  • Fanta (Melon Frosty) is the number one soft drink of Thailand. With a fun melon flavor, this carbonated beverage is beloved in Thailand's sunny, tropical climate.
  • Originally created in 1998, Bibo is a fruit flavored line of juice drinks popular in South Africa. The brand features fun characters such as Johnny Orange, Taka Strawberry and Paolo Peach.
  • A raspberry flavored cream soda, Sparberry launched in Africa in 1955. It is exclusively available in several countries in southeast Africa.
  • Guarana Kuat is a guarana berry flavored soft drink first launched in Brazil in 1997. The word guarana comes from the Guaraní word guara-ná, which translates to "fruit like the eyes of the people."
  • Known as "The Taste of Peru," Inca Kola has an unusually sweet fruity flavor that many compare to the taste of liquid bubblegum. The name refers to the Quechua words for king and queen.
  • Beverly, with its bitter flavor, is a popular non-alcoholic apéritif that is a traditional part of Italian refreshment culture.

Trading out Mezzo Mix for Fanta flavors (that I can get at the local grocery store) is pretty lame, but it's better than closing altogether I guess.

Boy I would Love to see Ghiardelli's there. I am an ice cream freak and love this idea. Now I have another excuse to hit Epcot even more than I do and then will have to compare EPCOT to DTD. Got to make sure the Ice Cream Sundays, Bananna Splits and Fountain drinks are all up to snuff. It's a dirty job, but some one has to do it.

Any of the 20 million people in Southern California would have said the same thing about Manzana Lift, as apple-flavored soda is somewhat common there. Presumably, they had that in other parts of the country close to Mexico, as well. FWIW, we don't have apple soda or pineapple soda in my neck of the woods, so :p.

Apple pop is pretty common in Oklahoma as well. You can buy it at your local Wal-mart.
