Orange Man Bad

Est. 2016 · Bottled by Scallywag Media

Orange Man Badthe bold orange soda with a bad attitude

Some say it's bad. Some say it's very bad. Everyone agrees it's orange. Ice cold, aggressively fizzy, and in a permanent mood about it.

The story so far

In 2016, the internet was full of a three-word meme, and Scallywag Media did the only sensible thing: we put it on an orange soda. It was a joke. Then people actually bought it, and it made a little money, which surprised everyone, including us.

The bottles are long gone. The meme, somehow, is not. So we're asking a simple question: should Orange Man Bad come back? Build a bottle, cast a flavor vote, and tell us honestly whether you'd buy a case.

Orange Man Bad is a novelty parody of an internet meme. It isn't about, affiliated with or endorsed by any person, campaign or party. Grumpy is a piece of fruit.

Build your bottle

Pick a flavor, a cap and a slogan. Then shake it. Keep shaking. You know where this is going.

Should we bring it back?

We'd only brew another batch if enough people actually want it. Tell us what you'd buy. Nothing is charged and nothing is for sale yet; this tells us whether to brew again.

Flavor vote

If it comes back, which one first? One vote per thirsty person. We'll share results with the list.

"Thirsty? Annoyed? Why not both?"

"The soda that disagrees with you. Politely. Mostly."

"Now in glass, can, and strongly worded letter."
