This is probably going to show my age, but I miss OK Soda, Josta, Cool Britania ice cream, and Salsa Rio Doritos.

I remember people arguing about the flavor and the rumor was that it was made from varying mixes of leftover (or line switching) soda so each batch was always a little different.

EDIT: I have no idea what that phone number connects to now, probably don't call it!

Coincidentally I was listening to a podcast the other week that did an episode on OK Soda. Apparently they did base the flavor on a suicide. So I guess they would have used a blend of flavors they already had on hand. It was actually kind of validating because I've been telling people that for years after I made something that tasted extremely close at a Subway once back in the day. You need a soda fountain that has orange, iced tea, and pink lemonade along with the regular soda flavors to do it.

And yeah, I also used to call that number all the time.

I remember kids in my school saying it was a mixture of Coke and Sprite

Cool Brittania was my all time favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor. I'd fill my freezer with it if they ever brought it back.
