That looks really delicious. Hope I can have a taste this one in the future.

I bought my supply of Java Pop at Ocean State/Job Lot, which is a discount chain out of R.I.
I just drank my first bottle, and it was as advertised, Hazelnut flavored coffee soda. I agree it is probably best ice cold, on a sweltering day like today. There is nothing new about Coffee Soda, various beverage companies have offered it since about 1906. It comes and goes in popularity.
My bottles are marked java06 with other numbers after it, it may be the formula designation, and not the date it was produced.

I actually like Java Pop. I bought up my local Big Lots' supply last week, lol. I've never tried the Hazelnut though.

Man, I bought some of this stuff at Big Lots today, same flavor too... It was ardly carbonated, and when I shook it up a little, it didn't spew or fizz or anything. "I guess this drink is different," I thought. I drank half of one and poured the rest and the remaining three unopened bottles out.

Something odd I noticed afterward... the printed date on the side of the bottle read January 2006... That's almost three years ago...

I felt like a total sucker.

Actually my experience is almost oppisite of yours. My first taste I was not impressed. By the time I finished the 4-pak, I was addicted to the stuff.

I am actually afraid of waking up one day and my supplier (Big Lots) will be dry. Then I will have to go to Javasoda(dot)com and pay 2 or 3 dollars a bottle with shipping!

Maybe I should go down to B.L. and hoard the stuff... hmmmm

Manhattan Special is a decent espresso soda, and they use actual sugar instead of corn syrup.

Seagal doing an energy drink?

No thanks, I'm holding out for Jean Claude Van Damme's natural male enhancement tabs.

Specialty beverages made in Brooklyn, NY since 1895 - http://www.manhattanspecial...

My father used to drink this stuff growing up in Brooklyn in the 40s. And, yeah, they are sold mostly in Italian delis and specialty stores.

There's been a wonderful coffee soda called Manhattan Special available for many years. They even make it in diet and decaf now. I don't know the whole story, but for some reason it seems that it's most available in Italian groceries. I've got a bottle in my refrigerator now. Of course, not everyone likes it as much as i do.

If I can barf it out of my nostrils, I'm sure your mini-swig counts.

I bought some Blak just because I like to collect unique Coke products. I drank one. Well, part of one. Well, I took a sip and spit it out.

Does that count?

Oh. Yeah. Blak. I barfed from my nose.

Wow, talk about not leaving a lasting impression: I completely forgot that I had a couple of those when they first came out!

Yeah, now that you mention it, I liked Coca-Cola Blak okay, but it was always so expensive...generally more than $2 a bottle...for such a small drink that I couldn't bring myself to buy it very often.

Last year, Coca-Cola test marketed a soda/coffee hybrid out here called Coca-Cola Blak. It came in a cool, little black bottle and could basically only be found at select Targets and Wal*Marts.

I loved that shit.
