 I know this is an old thing that has been proposed and failed, and maybe it's a bad idea to do this so close to the TTYD remake coming out, but I've been putting this off for a while. Sorry.

 #{{User|Pseudo}} Per all, this probably should've happened a long time ago.
-#{{user|7feetunder}} This is the same deal as [[Fright Mask|Fright Jar]], [[Coco Candy|Coco Pop]], and [[Jelly Candy|Jelly Pop]] - ''TTYD'' completely redesigned several items for some reason, and many of the localized names in the first game couldn't be used because of this. (Note that the candy items that retained their lollipop design [[Fire Pop|weren't]] [[Electro Pop|renamed]].) The only difference here was that it was culturally translated into a different beverage entirely. I don't see how the remake could possibly affect this, so there's no reason to hold off.

The only difference here was that it was culturally translated into a different beverage entirely. Regarding "what about the remake?", see my comment below.
 #{{User|Camwoodstock}} If we have [[Jelly Candy]] and Jelly Pop merged for identical effects/gameplay purpose, we might as well for this one too.
 #{{User|Killer Moth}} Per all. I highly doubt the remake is going to change this anyway.
+#{{User|Somethingone}} Per precedents mentioned before and more such as [[Egg Bomb|Egg Bomb/Missile]] which was redesigned not once but twice. If it does end up as being a separate thing in the remake then we can easily just split the page again no issue.
+#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} Regardless, at this point, in the likely event that nothing happens to dramatically upend the teatable, you know this option will just result in one less proposal down the road. Let's keep this to a minimum going forward, though. Can we all maybe...put a pin on implementing this right away and consciously wait until the remake's out to be positive and call it a day?
+#{{User|Hewer}} Per all - the merge is consistent with other items, and a remake coming out next year having a very small chance of changing this is a bad reason to oppose in my opinion. We don't usually hold off on merges just because they might possibly be invalidated in the future, and if the argument is to avoid unnecessary extra work, surely the best way to do that would be enacting this now so we don't have to inevitably redo this exact proposal later.
+#{{User|Koopa con Carne}} Even if the remake replaces Fresh Juice with Super Soda in both design and English name, it wouldn't preclude keeping Fresh Juice split from this article as it's still the same item in function and in its original name--per arguments pro-merge in the previous proposal.
 ===Oppose===
 #{{User|Tails777}} Even with the clear support on the idea, I'm opposing not because I disagree, but because there is still a possibility that the remake could change things. The ''Super Mario RPG'' remake has shown to make a few changes to several names of its content to be more accurate to its Japanese script and that gets me thinking they could possibly do the same here, especially since TTYD is known to have several translation mistakes. There is still a chance that in the remake they could change the Japanese name or change the English name/item in general. No matter how likely or unlikely, I think waiting to see if anything gets changed is a better option.
-#{{User|Koopa con Carne}} Per Tails777. The English localisations of TTYD and SMRPG (mostly the latter) are both quite infamous for their reinterpretations of the original Japanese scripts. As the SMRPG remake has already shown to address some of the more glaring differences, there exists a likelihood that the remake of TTYD will act similarly either by accurately translating its concepts from the language of origin, or by finding some sort of middle ground where the concepts themselves will be redesigned to eschew cultural differences (e.g. "Fresh Juice" reverts to the "Super Soda" design and is renamed accordingly in English). In fact, if the transition from "airhead" to "lunkhead" (among others) seen in the remake's trailer is any indication, this process is already happening and we're bound to see a few differences going forward. All bets are off, and acting upon this subject immediately, on the basis that the remake "couldn't possibly affect" this state of affairs, is just going off of gut feeling--the nasty, unencyclopedic kind. Let's be more patient and careful about this.
+#{{User|Swallow}} Per all, I would like to see if this game's remake will get the same translation treatment as the Super Mario RPG remake before deciding what to do with this.
+#{{User|Archivist Toadette}} Should've waited for the remake to actually release beforehand first.
+#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all, wait till the remake comes out. I initially supported the 1st proposal, but given the circumstances, i changed my mind, at least for now.
+#{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per all. I'd be surprised if the remake did anything that could change the outcome of this proposal, but better safe than sorry.

 :Yeah, that's fair. I mean, I can cancel if people find it too hasty, but I hoped it wouldn't be too much of an problem. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 15:41, October 6, 2023 (EDT)
 ::I don't think it's too hasty. After all, there's no chance the remake will call Fresh Juice "Super Soda" or anything... [[User:SolemnStormcloud|SolemnStormcloud]] ([[User talk:SolemnStormcloud|talk]]) 16:33, October 6, 2023 (EDT)
+As an addendum to my vote, I would have supported the proposal had it not been for this portentous remake and I think the counterarguments brought forward in the previous one are rather poor. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:04, October 13, 2023 (EDT)
+:<s>I'll refrain for similar reasons, but</s> realistically, I wonder how much would change without some kind of overhaul to the original's recipe system. I know this is touching on a point during the last proposal, but let's say, for ''Super Mario RPG'', Kerokero Cola is renamed to something else. The primary reason it may change is rather obvious, but suppose another reason it may change is because "Cola" (a term used for space constraints and catchy alliteration) is now deemed off limits. Is making it into a different type of drink altogether worth splitting it over? If this proposal passes and the name is changed again, it'll cause more work, but the page still works on the merge level, so I don't think it would strictly require another proposal. The worst case would be if the remake outright reintroduces the Fresh Juice and Super Soda separately. Unlikely, but not impossible. Honestly, though, that scenario may lead to a proposal all on its own. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 20:00, October 13, 2023 (EDT)
+::The recently increasing concerns about the remake potentially affecting this do not change my stance at all. Super Soda was already gone by the time the original ''TTYD'' hit shelves. The Japanese version has no reason to pull a Toad's Turnpike and "reconcile with the English name" by changing it to a soda or adding a soda item, since the original English ''TTYD'' never had the soda to begin with. If this were a remake of ''the original Paper Mario'', the game that actually had the soda localization in it, this concern would be more understandable. Even if the remake does change something relating to Fresh Juice, most of the possible outcomes either would not justify re-splitting or would require a second proposal regardless.
+::*The Japanese version keeps the original design and name, as there's no reason to change it. The English localization, like the original would have no grounds to call it something else. '''The proposal stands.'''
+::*The Japanese version keeps the original name, but reverts to the original ''Paper Mario'' design for whatever reason. However, the more faithful new localization doesn't change the name like the original ''Paper Mario'' did, so it's still Fresh Juice. '''The proposal stands.'''
+::*Same as the above, but the English localization calls it a Super Soda again. This is the only outcome that genuinely threatens to potentially undermine this proposal. Even so, this wouldn't outright invalidate it - the argument that the language-of-origin should take priority would still hold water. Besides, given that this is seemingly going to be a more faithful localization - we've already seen TEC's lens is red in all regions like the original Japanese - I'm not expecting it.
+::*The Japanese version completely replaces Fresh Juice with Super Soda. Again, they have no reason to do this when the original English ''TTYD'' didn't have Super Soda to begin with. It would do nothing but confuse the Japanese playerbase. Even if they did this, this would force us to decide whether the replacement item should stand alone or the original ''PM'' should be included with it, which '''would require a second proposal anyway.'''
+::*The Japanese version includes both Fresh Juice and Super Soda as separate items. Just like the above, the effective creation of a whole other item '''would require a second proposal anyway.'''
+::If any soda-related changes occur in the ''TTYD'' remake, it will most likely be the "[[Chuckola Cola (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Chuckola Cola]]" becoming a soda in all regions to remove an alcoholic beverage from a family-friendly game, or becoming a different drink entirely. Or ''that'' will become Super Soda as a nod to the original ''PM'' localization - another scenario which would open a whole other can of worms regardless of whether this proposal passes. Oh, and on top of all that, there's the whole fact that ''the remake's release is still a ways away from now'' (we don't even have a release date beyond "sometime next year," so it's going to be a while), the proposal is guaranteed to hold until then, and even on the off chance the remake ''does'' justify re-splitting them or something, it's not the end of the world. Take it from a guy who [[Talk:Ankoopa#What to do with this article|made a proposal]], had to [[Talk:Ankoopa# Split Nokottasu from Big Koopa Troopa|make another proposal]] to undo it as soon as the 4-week waiting period was up because of poorly-timed new information, and then it turned out [[Talk:Ankoopa#Name|"Ankoopa" was an official name the whole time]], meaning it was all for nothing. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 22:28, October 13, 2023 (EDT)
+@LinkTheLefty: I don't see a reason to hold off on implementing this. As I said, the remake is still a ways away from a release date that isn't even confirmed yet, and implementing this is not going to be some huge project that will take months will multiple users pitching in. It's a simple page merge that's easy to do and undo. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 13:40, October 14, 2023 (EDT)
