We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The soda brand Squirt was first invented during the Great Depression as a carbonated grapefruit-flavored beverage meant to taste citrusy and fresh (via Retro Planet). The original recipe was concocted by entrepreneur Herb Bishop at a time in U.S. history when fresh fruit and sugar were scarce. Bishop was able to find a way to make a crowd-pleasing fizzy beverage using limited resources, and gave it a name inspired by the fact that it “tasted like a slice of grapefruit exploding in the mouth.” That was 1938, and Squirt’s wide-reaching appeal has endured well into the new millenia.
Unlike certain soda brands like Coke, which have so many flavors you can’t count them all on two hands, Squirt has kept its lineup of products pretty limited. Still, there are some notable differences between the three available options, and of course, fans of the citrusy beverage have been vocal about their favorite flavor of Squirt. Time to pop open a can of your favorite fizzy, sit back, and see if the rankings surprise you.

It may just be that Diet Squirt isn’t the best choice for those who aren’t a fan of aspartame, a sugar alternative found in most diet sodas that can have a distinctly acrid taste to certain palates. Or it may be that Squirt simply missed the mark. After all, a lot of reviewers couldn’t help but compare Diet Squirt to the original.
#2: Ruby Red Squirt
#1: Original Squirt

While original Squirt was ranked the best flavor out of the three, it’s still sometimes a rarity to find in stores. Just like with Ruby Red Squirt, people have scoured the internet looking for info on where to find the nearest Squirt distributor. “I can’t imagine why it’s no longer widely distributed nor is it properly promoted,” said one Squirt fan on Reddit. Fortunately for lovers of Squirt, all three flavors of the soda can be ordered online from a variety of retailers.
