alright we got our sampler and have worked our way through most of the bottles now

SPRECHER GRAPE: there has never been a good grape soda and this is no different get the gently caress outta here 0/10. exception made if like my wife you somehow love the flavor of carbonated dimetapp in which case she tells me this is like a 9/10. i took one sip and was perfectly happy for her to have both bottles.

SPRECHER GINGER ALE: this poo poo's real good; it's got a bite about on par with the reed's extra ginger beer, with the downside being that it's not really that much more special than reed's extra ginger beer either. 6/10

SPRECHER CHERRY CRAN: i wish this had a lot more cranberry tartness to it, but their cherry soda is goddamn good 7/10

SPRECHER CHERRY COLA: someone finally turned haribo cola gummies into a soda 9/10

SPRECHER CREAM SODA: loving hell this is the best cream soda i've ever had 10/10

SPRECHER ORANGE DREAM: okay yeah this hits literally every single note i want from a dreamsicle soda 100/10 gonna stock up on more for sure

Hell yeah dude

I guess I never had dimetapp as a kid cos I haven't ran into a grape soda I didnt like

whatever coke did with their re-re-jiggering of coke zero made it slightly but still obviously worse

It's not unheard of in sodas, but they're usually specialty and it's way more common in seltzers/tea/as juice. In the midwest US, anyway.

gently caress. I was hopeful it might get better again. When they changed Coke Zero to Coke Zero Sugar and made it sweeter to appeal to British troglodytes, it got so hosed. It used to have a crisp, almost herbal edge to it that made it taste different from Coke but good in its own right. Now it’s just obviously fake Coke.

Might just be an unconscious bias since reading this, but you should pick up a bottle and see if they brought that herbal edge back. I'm not sure that's what I'm getting, but my palate isn't amazing rn because of allergies lol

another day i mourn vault's absence

There was a semester or so in high school where one of the vending machines would spit out 2-3 bottles of vault if you paid with a Sacagawea dollar (which said machine would then redispense if you fed it a five to get change) and I still am shocked I didn’t give myself diabetes

I’ll also use this time to mourn sprite remix, the kings of non-caffeinated soda
