Remember when Pepsi pushed out a marshmallow-flavored Pepsi with Peeps branding back in 2021 but restricted it to a contest? Well you can now find it in some stores in both 20 oz. bottles and mini-can 8-packs. And yes, I tried it. The artificial marshmallow flavoring made the sweetness made it taste like a sugar syrup, more so than regular Pepsi.

Saw this for the first time and decided to pick it up. Not sure what to make of it and if I like it or not.

290 calories seems particularly high for what I presume is a half-bottle serving size, though I can't see volume markers.

It says it's a 20 Oz. bottle.

And yet, Faygo was this normal, cheap ass drink I associated with school open house functions as a kid.
Did your school also taught kids how magnets work?

Caffiene-Free Pepsi is my go-to. Diet Dr. Pepper or Sugar-free Cherry Coke are my two runner-ups.

I'm sure they did. I found that discarded 16mm print in a school dumpster decades ago.
Man, as a kid I remember watching educational videos (and sometimes Disney, WB, Nick or DreamWorks stuff during free days) in class on either formats VHS and DVD. But I recalled during my 5th grade at class, I stumbled across a 16mm reel. I don't what film it was, but it looked to have a green-coded reel.

I have this autistic habit of visiting novelty snack shops once a season and buying the strangest soda possible. One time I found one called Golden Records or something, it had Mighty Mouse on the bottle and said "Mighty Mouse Intro", the cap had what I can only assume are some of the lyrics to the Mighty Mouse intro and the actual soda just looked and tasted like Baja Blast. Was weird, didn't like it.
I had that one time like ten months ago, I didn't care for it. It's just an overwhelming assault of sugar, wasn't for me.
When was this soda even made, because I'm pretty sure something like Mighty Mouse and most other Terrytoons characters are surprisingly relevant in most Western European countries, while everywhere else, especially here in the US, Paramount does nothing about it and focuses more on Star Trek, SpongeBob, Beavis & Butthead, South Park or Jackass, among other things.

I think it's recent, I can find a few other stores online selling it after googling "mighty mouse soda". Also, according to these stores it was blue cream flavoured, so my description of taste and flavour are both retarded and wrong, apologies.
You know upon googling and you are right. But, it's just for marketing purposes anyway. It's like how Woody Woodpecker isn't as relevant as any of Universal's own IPs, but still manages to be relevant in marketing (but it's still way more popular in most Central and South American countries as the side of DBZ's popularity over there).

It can be amusing what sticks and what doesn't these days. I remember when they still gave a shit for Woody, at least when Lantz was still alive.
Being an 80's kid, all we had was classic Disney up to the 70's. I can remember one film we had to watch before spring break was this...
Funky animated opening though...
Could be either National Film Board of Canada or Pyramid Films. Both companies used green reels/cans for their prints.
Except when Lantz died, Universal focused it as name recognition, while the studio focused their eggs in their basket with bigger animated franchises to milk, which were The Land Before Time, An American Tail and, especially later on and as of right now, Despicable Me and its Minions spinoff. Otherwise, Universal focuses way more on either Jurassic Park, Fast & Furious and more lower budget films from either comedies some produced by Judd Apatow or horrors some produced by Jason Blum, among other current IPs.
Ehh, most of the 70s movies from Disney were proven to be a joke after Walt died, especially when you compare head to head with other major movie blockbusters from the likes of Jaws, The Omen, The Godfather, Alien, Westworld, Rocky, Close Encounters, Apocalypse Now, Grease, Superman and especially Star Wars.
That said, the 70s and 80s did provide some underrated, more mature themed, gems like Escape from Witch Mountain, The Black Hole, The Watcher in the Woods, Something Wicked this Way Comes, Return to Oz and Tron, which led Disney to create the more mature brand studios, Touchstone and Hollywood.
But I still don't remember the title of the movie.

Saw this in a store here a month or two ago. Tried it. It was... pretty bad. It actually did capture exactly the taste of a rocket pop, which is what it was trying to do. Spot on, 10/10 in that regard. But it's a Ian Malcom in Jurassic Park situation... "you were so focused on whether or not you could, nobody stopped to ask if you should". Drinking straight, carbonated popsicle syrup is not pleasant.
I do like some Faygo though. I actually like their rootbeer better than most other brands, for example. Maybe beause, growing up in the rural midwest, Faygo was what we always had at parties and stuff, I don't know. But they also have a lot of crappy flavors, like this one here.
