Because odwalla "various concentrates with not enough water" could be considered energy drinks, the primacy here is probably not that it has 100% juice, but that it contains ****ing mushrooms. Cordyceps? Seriously, I just read the wikipedia article on those. How can those go into a soft drink? Maybe this is a hard drink 66.41.66.213 02:39, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, you are missing the point entirely based on prevalance of common knowledge. Cordyceps have no negative effects when ingested. Try to remember that not all mushrooms possess hallucinogenic properties. It is clearly mentioned in the article that cordyceps are used for medicinal purposes, legit ones at that. 4.225.23.153 07:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

My contention is not that they are hallucinogenic mushrooms, but that they are mushrooms, period. I question how they can go into a soda the same way I would question beef or beets going in a soda. It's unprecedented, and kind of gross. I'm also sticking to my guns on the 100% juice thing. The "cane juice" statement sounds like an urban legend to me, so I'm taking it out for now. 66.41.66.213 02:58, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Are you serious? beets are in lots of things, they are the worlds second most prevalent source of sucrose. "Cane juice" is just non-crystallized extract of sugar cane, so technically it is a juice.

"Gross" is one way of putting it. More succinctly, Steven Segal's Lightning Bolt is the worst concoction ever devised to torture the tastebuds of man. It is the product of a mortal man's obsession with imitating the most wretched horrors of eternal damnation, pouring it into a can, and selling it for only a dollar. It is as foul as the sludgy black black hell-milk that issues forth from the six hundred and sixty-six diseased, gangrenous teats of Atarooda the Filth Queen, Ruler of the Eternal Hell of Being Shat Upon. --Slander 19:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cut down

The article has been cut down, and no longer lists ingredients. Links to the ingredients are helpful and educational. Trying to restore66.41.66.213 23:57, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ingredients

Please consult Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SoBe_No_Fear for a discussion on just such an issue. Ingredient labels are not encyclopedic. They do not need to be included in the article. DS 02:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

That page says little more than "ingredient labels are not encyclopedic" and further, when they said it, they seemed to mean "an article that is little more than an ingredient list is not encyclopedic. If taglines and countries where it is available are encyclopedic information, then why not it's ingredients? However, the list will likely not do anyone any good. I mainly miss the ingredients that were touted as medicinal herbs, and the links to their articles. While your point on lists is good, your point on copyright seems senseless. I will be re-adding the "herbal tonic" quotation. Lotusduck 00:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cucumber Blast

Is this for real? I checked the website, and didn't see anything related to this flavor. I suspect it may be a joke ("Cucumber Blast"- it sounds like an off-color double entendre). Could someone provide a citation on this flavor, and the "Apple Attack" also mentioned? —the preceding comment is by Mayor Beauregard - 23:33, 9 October 2006: Please sign your posts!

Google turned up nothing either, except a forum where they speculated this was vandalism. I'm removing this unless someone can find a source. Propound 03:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
