Ayy a local that's here on Lemmy gotta love it. Was actually going to mention Boost! from south Jersey. I've seen it randomly in store while I was down in Florida in a neighborhood nearby that was full of the retired Jersey shore residents that come down for the winter. Its not something I'd personally drink but know a good amount of people that love it. Probably never took off since the name is the exact same as the protein drink while being a complete opposite lol

For those unaware it's an OG soda from over 100 years ago. Soda pharmacies and diners were THE hang out spots in rural South Jersey back then and the roots still remain:

What's the deal with South Jersey's BOOST! beverage?

    Huh, never heard of this. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. I love trying things like this.

    It sounds like it's just flat or in a slushie, but never carbonated like every other soda?
