The fact that you realized belatedly that you got the wrong tea, and I am saying this with love, is such a fucking funny move and served as amazing narrative foreshadowing to the chaos to come
I loved OK when it was out and drank a lot of it. Something to consider is the color - poured in a glass it was kind of a orange-ish gold color. Not dark like Coke or Dr Pepper. I don't get the Dr Pepper at all, OK was nothing like that. And certainly no tea. I would have gone with equal parts Coke, Orange soda and Ginger Ale. Maybe even 20% Coke and equal parts of the other two.
I was pretty dang young when OK soda was a thing, but I drank it whenever I scored a can. It ALWAYS was different and I was always under the impression that it was just the last bits of all the sodas mixed together at the factory, and each batch was supposed to be slightly different. It didn't stick around long enough for me to compare 'batches' though so that might have just been a school yard rumor. Whenever I get cola from one of those '100 flavor soda' machines, you know the ones, that always reminds me of OK Soda. Just cola with a bit tube residual of everything else.
Sorry this is off topic but I just wanted to tell you that I love how you are just so unapologetically you. The goth style and make up, the humor, the way you talk about your niche interests and opinions... like ofc it's a TH-cam persona but I just. I'm living for it. You rock.
OMG I'M IN THE VIDEO 😍 I'm delighted and more than a little bit vindicated at your shared dedication to the soda I've been special-interest-fixated on for decades. Your experiment also reminded me, OK Soda was a dark reddish color mixed with the cola color, which was part of my assessment that led to the hibiscus tea hypothesis. I'm so sorry I gave you absolutely no guidance on quantities, though! So in case anyone else (not you Jules you're an angel and we're lucky to have you, you're off the hook) wants to try my recipe, steep multiple Red Zinger bags or a handful of hibiscus flowers in half a mug of boiling water, then strain and let it cool. It should be a very deep red color. Put like half of that into a cup with some ice (so 1/4 of a mug/cup at most of the cold tea) and the rest should be Dr. Pepper. I take no responsibility for anyone actually drinking this, I'm just sharing what I came up with in desperation when OK Soda disappeared.

I paused to read the comment during the video and was so surprised to see tmbg mentioned! i found it a bit funny because right after jules mentioned charles manson in the original video that tmbg song started running through my head
Ugh, the flop collective that I've lived through in my short 50 years. Clear Pepsi , Blue Pepsi, 7up Spice( loved it ), President's Choice soda variable flavours @10 cents a can, Spicy Mt Dew....uh...let me think a bit.
not a marketing flop- but something i think you might find interesting.. the history of the Pepsi logo? i found out about this disaster via a Lemon Demon song ("Redesign Your Logo") and upon researching it have been baffled ever since. there's an entire, like, Pepi Bible explaining the physics and logic behind the logo.. im convinced that these designers were getting paid so much that they started making shit up on the spot. like, "oh you're gonna pay me a million dollars for my pepsi logo design? UM UH-- here's a UHHH demonstration of geomagnetism in the logo and how the colours of the logo will induce UHHH an emotional response in the viewer"
This is reminding me how much I love TAB and how much I'm hoping it has some kind of comeback by being embraced by the queer community. We can make this happen, people. Change starts with you
@@rottenfiggy The curse of Homestuck is that no matter how long it's been since I've read it it'll somehow pop back up in relation to something I forgot was important in the story. It will forever stain my gay little soul
This is brilliant and as someone who works at a Casey's, I can confirm that the "water" or dregs at the bottom of the soda machine is sticky and sweet.
"I haven't thought about HCA in months." Great cause after that video I think about how how I'm too much of a disaster for history to even call my relationships as "close friends" and just "desperate and sad" due to that video.
I wont lie, I felt sick just knowing how much you drank of that soda. It brought me back to middle school at a sleepover thinking I can drink all the soda in the world and waking up the next day feeling like the world was gonna end.
So I have a sore throat rn and just imagining all of those sweet sticky sodas makes me think that I'm the one drinking them and my throat is just doing funny things. I feel like I'm going to stop breathing. Send help
I remember watching the OK Soda video on my way to class, trudging through the Chicago winter, and just thinking to myself I hope Jules gets her hand on some. Now, holy fuck I can't believe you're actually going to do it LOL
It technically featured Manson on The Cover and looks like something out of a dystopian science fiction novel. It was not a good sign of things to come.
idk if you do the Captions yourself or if you hire someone to write them- but thank you!! They're super accurate with the punctuation, music, and actually keep up with the speed you talk at, it makes it way easier to listen along !!!
I used to drink soda more than water but nowadays I'm hard pressed to have more than one soda every few weeks. Just seeing four sodas being mixed together makes my teeth feel uncomfortable lmfao
Fun fact, when you work at a soda fountain with old regulars, sometimes, you get somebody asking for a 'suicide'. That's basically what your trough is.
I only have memory to go on, but that first recipe you tried sounds remarkably close. “So much and yet nothing” nails it. “It’s like a different drink every time” also nails it. I recall it being slightly reddish in both color and flavor, and I either kind of liked it or wanted to like it b/c of the art. Idk, I was six years old
i gotta wonder if they used part of the formula of OK Soda when they reformulated Mr Pibb back in the mid to late ninties. Saying that i used to like Mr Pibb before they did that
I had OK a few times during its brief lifespan and I can absolutely confirm that it tastes like a coke/orange/dr.pepper mix. When I was in middle school my friends and I would mix fountain drinks to make something we called ‘Quintabla’ for some reason, and that was the thing that OK reminded me of most. If you’re looking for other expensive commercial flops, there always Crystal Clear Pepsi and McD’s $300 million flop, the Arch Deluxe.
I like what Coke is doing with its flavors these days, Starlight tastes like a cotton candy drink, and I'm curious to see what Byte will be. They say it's pixel flavored, so I'm expecting TV static with the volume maxed out.
Dasani water banned in the UK and anytime coke tried to change their OG flavor come to mind. Also those mints from the 70s that helped you lose weight and were literally called “AIDS mints” that went over great in the next decade
I don't think OK Soda ever made it to Europe but on the off chance there is someone who tried in who now lives in Europe or something similar can they verify whether Mezzo Mix is a good replacement because orange flavouring seems to be a common theme and Mezzo Mix is literally made by coca cola and has orange flavouring???
I wonder how different this experiment would've gone if you'd been using soda w/o corn syrup in it. bc like... in Sweden, since it's illegal to put corn syrup in the stuff we make, we don't have to chew our sodas.
I always forget that the stuff we eat in America is literally considered poison in other countries lmao. But you bring up a good point! And though I do believe that all of these drinks would have tasted better if they were made with real sugar, I also believe that the original OK Soda was definitely made with corn syrup (and probably poison)
I work at a movie theater, and this video made me want to drink from all the drinks at one of the soda machines. I did it, and it really does taste like everything and nothing all at once. I had the same experience. It was nasty.
Did you know there's a name for when you internally make the Trough Soda? It's called Swamp Water, and when the 2Ls at the party are down to the dregs and you don't want to open the new bottle, or want to stretch the pop out. You pour them into a single cup and have "Swamp Water"
I JUST made this using the first recipe at a cOKe freestyle machine. That was awesome!!! The official soft drink of Seinfeld! Tastes like nothing!!! Make yours today!!!!!
Sad that i still will not be able to really taste it, because i live in germany and we do have all those sodas over here, but they taste vastly different from the original ones you get in the us, so i cant even mix it right :(
The only fruit flavored thing in there is Crush? Yoy put Dr. Pepper in it, so I'm kind of curious why this was surprising. I'd say Dr. Pepper has a few fruit flavors.
Not sure why this is bringing back memories of the Arch Deluxe. Oh wait. Maybe it was the eating one and spending half of math class throwing up. My high school had a McDonalds in the cafeteria and you could try one for free with a coupon.
ms dapper (we are not on a first name basis) i love you and you have inspired me to make OK soda. i will make it today. i found the RED zinger hibiscus tea. i will keep you updated.

Ginger beer is a great call. I love using ginger beer when mixing drinks
i love that there was someone out there who loves OK soda enough for them to have figured out the perfect recipe to recreate it
"So what do you do in your spare time?"
"Oh you know, just concocting powerful broths beyond your comprehension"
I was pretty dang young when OK soda was a thing, but I drank it whenever I scored a can.

Some believe, she’s standing guard to keep out all the flat sodas of the world to this day
You know it’s gonna be a good day when there’s a new Jules Dapper upload
It's been about thirty years since I've drank OK Soda. But from what I remember the Coke/Orange/DrPepper mix is pretty much what it tasted like.
OK Soda really set us on the course for the evil timeline
It technically featured Manson on The Cover and looks like something out of a dystopian science fiction novel. It was not a good sign of things to come.
YASSS QUEEEEN!!! Thank you for almost sacrafising your life for us 😭
