BUTTE, MT - If you grew up in Montana, chances are you have vivid memories of sipping on a cold soda during a scorching summer day, sitting on the tailgate of a pickup, or during the long haul of a road trip through the Rockies.

But now, some of those beloved fizzy favorites have disappeared, leaving only the bittersweet taste of memory behind.

From the tangy zap of a fruit-flavored soda to the smooth, creamy finish of a cola that rivaled even the classics, Montana once had a wide array of sodas that graced the shelves of local grocery stores and small-town diners. And now, most of them are just gone.

Who else remembers the joy of finding a can of Pepsi Blue in a convenience store cooler? Or the rebellious kick of Jolt Cola when you needed just enough caffeine to pull an all-nighter in college? And let’s not forget about Orbitz, the soda with floating fruit-like spheres that felt like drinking a lava lamp (but hey, it was fun!).

On this list, you’ll find familiar favorites and regional gems that disappeared too soon. Some vanished due to changing tastes, others due to corporate decisions, and a few simply because the world wasn’t ready for their quirky flavors.

Grab a tissue—or a fizzy drink still left standing—and let’s take a bubbly trip down memory lane. Here's to the sodas we miss, and the memories they left behind. Cheers!
