Shasta Soda is a budget-friendly, off-brand carbonated beverage (soda, pop,
Coke,
whatever you call it), sold in the Western US and parts of the Southwest US.
Shasta Soda is known for being cheap, easy to find from store to store, and horribly disgusting in taste. You know how some
people liken drinking
Coors Light to drinking cat piss? Well, the same can be said for Shasta Soda. It looks cool, and the price sure is low, but according to many, you're better off buying
Kool-Aid packets and using parasite-infested
water from your local sewage system.
Shasta Soda 2-liters of varying flavors are often used by
Paul Harrell as targets on the range. It's a fantastic idea, and it illustrates a lot of the points he makes.
I'd rather drink
New Coke. Or a large Farva.
"Dude, ever had
Shasta Soda? It tastes like cat piss."
"We're not buying Shasta Soda. I'd rather drink my own urine."
"Hi, Paul Harrell here for Shasta Soda. At the end of a long
day on the range, whether it's
sunny or... Rainy, there's nothing quite as refreshing as Shasta Red... Punch. *Drinks it and spits it out* Jeez!"
