My brother sent me this photo of a limited edition Coke + Fanta Orange drink that's on sale now in Japan. I used to actually do this mix pretty often when I got fountain sodas at fast food joints. Also, do you guys remember a drink that we called the suicide? I think it was Dr. Pepper + Coke + Fanta Orange + Iced Tea.

This is known as Mezzo Mix in Germany and a regular soft drink made by Coca Cola. It's available in nearly all supermarkets: http://www.mezzomix.de/

Suicide is just hitting everything in the machine. It doesn't really have a set recipe.
And doesn't Jones make something like this in the U.S.?

Like Hans said, a suicide as I know it is just everything in the machine mixed together. Apparently Swamp Water is another popular name for it.

A friend of mine who is teaching in Japan just brought me two bottles of this stuff (thanks to me sending him the link to this post!). I dare say it was pretty tasty. Not nearly as sweet as soda here in the states which was nice. All in all I'd give it a B+.
