You scan the shelves, you double back, you even peek behind the newer bottles hoping to spot that one glorious drink you’ve been craving—only to realize…it’s gone.

Like, gone gone. Discontinued. Kaput. Another fallen soldier in the ever-changing beverage battlefield.

Montana shelves aren’t what they used to be. Whether you’re in a Helena Albertsons, a Bozeman Co-op, or a Butte Town Pump, you may have noticed a little less sparkle in the fridge.

And no, it’s not your imagination—some of your favorite drinks really have vanished into the mist, like a gang elk fading into the trees.

Every year, the corporate beverage overlords decide what stays and what goes, and they do not consult us—the people—before axing our fizzy, juicy, or energy-packed favorites. Tragic, really.

Sometimes it’s a low seller. Sometimes it’s a “limited edition” that actually was limited. And sometimes it’s a quiet little brand that got edged out by the big boys.

Whatever the reason, these drinks are no longer available in Montana as of this year, and we’re left to mourn them like the end of summer.

Whether you were a ride-or-die fan or just liked to sip one once in a while for nostalgia’s sake, we’ve compiled the ultimate farewell tour. So grab a tissue—or a different drink you’re only half as passionate about—and scroll on.

Here are the discontinued drinks Montanans can no longer find on store shelves in 2025:

12 Animals You Must Report If You Hit Them in Montana

Ever hit an animal while driving in Montana? It’s an unfortunate reality of life on the road here, and while some critters can scurry off unscathed, others aren’t so lucky.

So, who do you call? If you hit one of these animals, you’ll need to report it to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) or local law enforcement. If it’s an emergency—say, the animal is still alive and injured in a way that poses a hazard—call 911. Otherwise, the non-emergency number will do. They’ll guide you on the next steps and make sure everything is properly documented.

Not sure which animals make the list? Keep reading, because failing to report could land you in hot water.
