dnL Sightings

I feel I have the last 3 cans left in existence! best soda ever made! 12/23/08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.209.63.201 (talk) 23:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone seen dnL anywhere recently?

I wish! That stuff was awesome. I was sitting here drinking a 7up thinking, sheesh.. what happened to dnL? 5/20/08

Dosen't the phrase "The product was a failure and withdrawn from the market in Early 2004." indicate that dnL is a marketing flop? if so, add it to List of commercial failures. --SuperDude 07:32, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

They didn't withdraw dnL from the market, at least not everywhere. I still see it in the stores in my hometown.

Not to mention that I'm still bombarded with dnL ads to this day - that and Honda Element. Thankyou EA Sports. (SSX Tricky or SSX 3 i don't recall which featured MAJOR product placement for both products...) -- — Nate | Talk 08:50, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

I just bought a bottle this weekend at a gas station in Eau Claire, WI 68.112.201.90 01:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Citrus

The article contrasts 7Up's lemon-lime flavor with dnL's citrus flavor. But lemons and limes are citrus fruits, so it doesn't make much sense. Can anyone say more specifically what citrus flavor dnL had? Was it, say, orange and pineapple? -- Coneslayer 21:19, 2005 August 2 (UTC)

It's a soda thing. "Citrus soda" means a tangy yellow-green soda, while "lemon-lime soda" means a crisp clear soda. Neither of the flavors resembles any real fruit in any serious way, though Surge contained natural orange flavor...

I agree -- it's a common soda thing. 7 Up and Sprite and others have branded themselves as Lemon-Lime Sodas, while Mountain Dew and Mello Yello brand as Citrus Sodas. (Regular Fresca perhaps brands as a Grapefruit Soda.) dnL competes with Mountain Dew and its rivals -- hence dnL is a Citrus Soda. Citrus Sodas are often characterized by cloudy yellow(-green) color, high sugar content, high caffeine content, and inclusion of concentrated orange juice (and BVO). There is no pineapple. There is real orange juice, but describing Mountain Dew et al. as orange flavored is misinformative: "Orange Soda" is yet another brand-associated soda convention that doesn't resemble real fruit in any serious way (e.g. Sunkist, Orange Crush, Minute Maid Orange Soda). --Brokenfixer 18:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It says that there was no national marketing campaign, but I seem to remember a television commercial for it featuring a leprechaun. Was that not nationally shown or something?

Cach9801 21:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)This stuff was awful... but it was backwards 7up... Instead of lemon-lime it was lime-lemon Instead of green bottle-clear liquid it was clear bottle-green liquid Instead of tasting good it tasted bad.[reply]

repeated non-encylopedic joke entry

Would the person who repeatedly adds the non-encyclopedic line about the supposed "ongoing joke" like to take this opportunity to try and justify why it belongs in the article, since he or she has repeatedly reinserted it after several editors have reverted it? Make your case; if you can convince people it's encyclopedic, then it can stay, but I don't see right now how it could be considered encyclopedic, so it's just going to keep being removed.norm77 (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
