I just saw Shasta Tiki Punch for sale for the first time in my town. Even features a tiki on the label now, unlike the 60's can....have they made this stuff the whole time since it started in the mid-1960's or did they just start again?

You may not have been here for the earlier thread but we've been stuffing the ballot box at the Shasta Soda website. Maybe this election day we could all take a minute or so and load up the ballots again and go for "ONE MILLION"!

Ah yes, the Tiki Punch vote. I'll have to start up the macro again when I get home tonight.
That is, before I head out to the Elvis Costello concert!

Boy, I didn't even know Shasta was still around -- we must not get it up here anymore. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

I just voted for tiki punch (which I've seen but not tasted.) But I was so tempted to vote for ZAZZ. What is that? Does anyone know? Sounds yummy!

Yeah, I think on a purely conceptual level Zazz is the coolest possible soda.
I think I'm going to start saying Zazz instead of cool.

Tiki Punch has passed the one million mark, and has more than three times the number of votes that the #2 sodee pop has (Sangria, at 348,000+).
So - anyone know where I can buy some of this stuff in Chicago???

I just voted myself. Not sure where in Chicago you can get it but here in Florida I found it at Dollar Tree. Where everything is a dollar. If you can't found it let me know. I have an extra...

Not sure I dig Tiki Punch all that much, although I like the design on the bottle. Kinda seems like Shasta is just out to capitalize on a fad. I'll take Hawaiin Punch any day.

We've talked about this before. I thought it was a new flavor too, but found an auction on ebay for an old "Tiki Punch" can.
You can see the thread here:

I know it's not a new flavor, but there was a long period of time when it wasn't being made, and now it's back because tiki stuff is hip again. At least, that's my take on it. I think they stopped making in it in the first place because it wasn't anything special and because nobody cared about anything tiki anymore. If tiki stuff once again fades out of peoples' consiousness, I think the soda will once again disappear. Then again, if that does happen, all the more reason to stock up on it so you can sell it on eBay in a few years!

PLEASE feel free to get a grip or a life.
Shasta put out a vote on different sodas.
They did not pick it because it is back in "style"
It won the vote DUH!
