Composition and Taste
OK Soda had a more "citric" taste than traditional colas, almost like a fruit punch version of Coke's Fresca. It has been described as "slightly spicy" and likened to a combination of orange soda and flat Coca-Cola. It has also been compared to what is know as "suicide", "swampwater" or "graveyard", all sobriquets of the resulting mixture of multiple soft drink flavors available at a particular convenience store or gas station's soft drink dispenser.
In contrast to earlier beverages from the 1990s also noted for their marketing campaigns, such as Jolt and Red Bull, OK Soda's caffeine content was not emphasized. A 12-ounce serving of OK Soda had only 40.5 milligrams of caffeine, slightly less than Coca-Cola itself (45.6 mg).

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“When love is broken,
then patched up
and cruelty is obvious,
like water boiled,
then cooled,
its taste goes flat.”
