Break out your leg warmers, dust off that boombox, and get ready to moonwalk down memory lane—because Crush is serving up a blast from the past that’s as bold as a neon windbreaker.

That’s right, the iconic soda brand has just unleashed a limited-time flavor that’s straight out of the 1980s. If you’re craving a taste of yesteryear or just want to add a little zing to your summer, this is one retro revival you won’t want to miss.



A Sip of the ’80s—No Time Machine Required

Let’s face it: nostalgia is having a major moment. From the return of McDonald’s Snack Wraps to Taco Bell’s Decades Menu, and even the resurrection of classic sodas like Olipop’s Orange Cream, it seems everyone’s hungry (and thirsty) for a taste of the good old days.

But Crush isn’t just hopping on the bandwagon—they’re driving it, with a soda that’s as much a visual throwback as it is a flavor sensation.

The new Electric Blue Razz flavor comes dressed to impress, sporting packaging that looks like it was plucked straight from a roller rink circa 1985. Think neon pinks, electric blues, and geometric shapes that practically beg you to crank up the synth-pop and dance like nobody’s watching.

The label proudly proclaims it a "Blue Raspberry Soda," and early taste testers are already raving that it "tastes like ’80s candy"—sweet, tangy, and just a little bit wild.


What Makes It "Electric"?

Now, you might be wondering: what sets this Electric Blue Razz apart from Crush’s regular blue raspberry? Is it the flavor, the fizz, or just the fabulous packaging?

While Crush is keeping some of the magic under wraps, fans speculate that the "electric" twist is all about amping up the nostalgia factor—delivering a flavor that’s not just blue raspberry, but blue raspberry as you remember it from the days of arcade tokens and cassette tapes.

In other words, it’s a soda that’s designed to make you smile, reminisce, and maybe even break out your old Rubik’s Cube.



Where and How to Get Your Hands on It
Crush Electric Blue Razz is a limited-time treat, so if you want to experience this retro revival, you’ll need to act fast. It’s available in single-serve 20-ounce bottles (perfect for sipping on the go) and 12-packs of 12-ounce cans (ideal for sharing at your next backyard barbecue or family movie night).

But here’s the catch: this flavor is only available in the classic, full-sugar variety. So if you’re a zero-sugar soda fan, you might have to sit this one out—or make it a special treat.

The soda has already started popping up on store shelves, and the buzz online is real. Online users are clamoring to try it, with comments like "Can’t wait to find this one!" and "I want to try this so bad."

If you spot it at your local grocery store, don’t hesitate—grab a few bottles (or cases) before it disappears back into the time capsule.


Why Are We So Obsessed with Nostalgic Flavors?

There’s something magical about the flavors of our youth. For The GrayVine community, the 1980s were a time of big hair, bigger dreams, and the simple joy of cracking open a cold soda on a hot summer day.

Food and drink have a unique power to transport us—one sip, and suddenly you’re back at the skating rink, the county fair, or your best friend’s birthday party.

Brands like Crush know this, and they’re tapping into our collective longing for the familiar. It’s not just about the taste—it’s about the memories, the stories, and the sense of connection to a time when life felt a little more carefree.
