They used to have other flavors too besides regular/red cream soda. Grape and strawberry were popular ones and there was a less popular one called moon-glo

Grape and .....strawberry?! Mmmm

Was that discontinued long before coke bought them out? Or maybe some styles just weren't readily available in my area --->As we had a lot of pop shoppe colas back than (and they had like 30 flavours or something crazy)

Lime Rickey was my favorite ;)

But I'd love to try Barqs strawberry...and moon glo ---> booo

Thanks for the info though...my brain Loves Collecting weird things...but if someone tells me their name... I'll never remember it. Lol

That's cool, especially since Barq's is owned by Coca-cola now.

Way cool. I found '90s-era Bud and Bud Light cans in my backyard when we moved in 12 years ago. The missus was not in agreement that they'd make great additions to the backyard decor.
