What Should Be The Next Madness Bracket?

[Jon]

A Few More suggestions....

Television Leading Men (drama or sitcom)
Television Leading Ladies (drama or sitcom).....then have another madness to put the top 16 (or something) from each together into another one.
Bands with 2 or more lead singers (replacement, i.e. Van Halen, or multiple lead singers in the band, i.e. The Beatles, The Eagles, etc.)

I use to be more of a Coco-Cola drinker in the past. Now I converted and clearly Pepsi is the better soda.

I imagine the wine and scotch reviews sound as nutty to you guys as this sounds to me.

It’s madness, remember the beer one, we ended up with a random brew made by monks in Belgium, a really taste brew I’m sure.

Just to clarify, it's a Belgian monk "styled" beer, brewed in Maine. Probably with European ingredients.

The opposite of vanilla ice cream.

Trappist beer = Yum!

Monks know how to get it done.

I still like the idea of a madness of the 231 #1 hits of the 80s. If I can find the time, I'll orchestrate that one. Like the other madnesses I ran, I'd like to do the sweet 16 thing again, so in round one we don't have Milli Vanilli advancing after beating New Kids while Yes is immediately eliminated by losing to Van Halen.

I would find that funny if that happened in a madness. Sure, I'll let you run another madness. I saw you did a great job in my absence. I wanted to patriciate but that when I was having some issues and wanted to get away from DRC for a while.

 

[Wolf]

Currently, we have so many great ideas again. Their certain themes feel like we could do right now. That's why I wanted to start a spinoff of mini-madness. But I don't want to overburn the madness series either. In my head it feels like we could have like three different types of madness series.

Regular Madness with any type of theme.
Music Madness
Mini-Madness with 32 slots or less.

I'm using wiki for the soft drink products list. It's a work in progress and this could be its own regular madness itself. I'm trying to make this mini-madness. Being realistic, most of us probably never heard or tried half of these brands and flavors. Tons of them would be early round knockouts. I'm going to clean up the list and remove any water brands, certain flavors and don't know if an energy drink would really be a soda / pop and Gatorade is really an electrolytes thirst quencher. I want your guy’s opinion on this list below to remove any, possibly suggesting any others that I missed that could be a contender.

Waterloo Sparking Water and Spindrift sparkling water are missing. Not sure who either are manufactured by however.

 

[Wolf]

I'll probably have different categories for certain types of sodas. I do like Fresca Black Cherry Citrus sparkling soda.

Congrats on the list, but that's way too many for me to ever comprehend. I mean, wtf are some of these? Ambasa? Pepsi Jazz? Mountain Dew White Out? Pocari Sweat? Shloer? Sidral Mundet? I haven't heard of (or tried) 90% of these. So how would I pick?

 

[Channel98]

Mountain Dew produced White Out – yes, it was white in color – from 2010 to 2023. The cans and bottles proclaimed "Smooth Citrus Flavor with Other Natural Flavors." It was flavored with yuzu (an East Asian citrus fruit) and lemongrass.

In June 2026, Mountain Dew will release a limited-edition, pink-colored watermelon-lime Mountain Dew called Baja 'Merica Melon.

This is why I stick to grown-up drinks.

Trust me, there are some on this list. I have never heard of it or tried it either. But I have tried probably half of them on that list. I like trying certain types of sodas. If I remove certain ones, there might be a couple of people who will say something like it's one of their favorites. I'll most likely create a poll and have everyone vote on their favorite soda and flavors. Then take the top ones that will participate in the madness. It might be something like the alcohol madness we had years ago.

Forget wiki. Go with nominated soft drinks. Anything from 98 needs to be seconded. Problem solved.

 

[JHDK]

Pepsi Jazz?

This is the only cola available in Aaron's neck of the woods.

Mountain Dew White Out?

Montana, the Dakotas, Idaho, if Utah Mormons ever allow normal soda.......that's the key demo for this.

watermelon-lime Mountain Dew

This would be a huge hit at Popeye's and Church's......because of course everyone knows they are the best fast food joints for quality experimental beverages and clearly nothing else.

 

[Wolf]

I don't like regular Mountain Dew, but I do like most of their other flavors.

I tried Mountain Dew White Out before and I thought it was pretty good. My current favorite is there Summer Freeze that is out right now. It's a limited-edition flavor that combines the classic Mountain Dew citrus taste with notes of cherry, lemon, and raspberry, inspired by red, white, and blue ice pops

I went on ahead and created a thread for the DRC Mini-Madness #2: Soft Drinks Wars in the Studio Lounge Games.

 

[Wolf]

From now on, I'm posting the rest of the Madness themes in the Studio Lounge Games. Couple of themes, might need to be moved and renumbered mainly Fictional Horror Movie Characters and 2025 Celebrity Death Thread.

July/August - DRC Madness #36: Soft Drinks Wars
September - DRC Madness #37: Movie Musicals
October - DRC Madness #38: Fictional Horror Movie Characters
November - DRC Madness #39: ???
December/January - DRC Madness #40: 2025 Celebrity Death Thread

Going to 2026, I don't plan on having Madness every month. We haven't had them in a while; there were so many great suggested themes. When it gets closer to November, I'll pull some of the past suggested themes and let anyone else suggest any new ones. Which we will vote for theme #39.

Fictional Horror Movie Characters

As opposed to what?

Seriously though, have we done Movie Soundtracks yet? That could be an Idea for #39
