rockstar's got some goodass flavors but it's for the best they have a tendency to discontinue the ones i like the most because i cannot handle energy drinks without spiralling into anxiety

sorry but it does not contain actual skim milk flattening out the soda and making it taste all weird and melted so it is not on the same level

i'll still drink a hundred given the opportunity

and actually i will; this place seems up my soda alley so i just put in an order for their 6 flavor sampler

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

i pretty much hate coke but i love coffee and the coke with coffee definitely splits the difference into a drink i really enjoy.

as far as I recall part of the creation of the freestyle was really meant for bartenders so they could have consistent mixed drink pours in a custom machine but then coke bought the tech and away we go

Polar's line of Seltzer Lemonade/Limeades showed up at HEB not that long ago and they're real drat good. Waterloo is also aces for a really strongly flavored seltzer, but not sure how national they've gotten. They do seasonal flavors and their Cranberry was fabulous, especially with a bit of lime juice squeezed in.

-There's a Dr. Pepper Dark Berry out to promote Jurassic World. I bet it's as good as those movies have been.

not as good as the OG classic but better than everything else on the market by virtue of having dinosaurs in it? hell yeah

i'm assuming dark berry is a euphemism for crude oil here

I have no idea what the halloween voodoo flavor is supposed to be. Outside of Code Red, Gamer Fuel, Baja Blast and Plain all the Mountain Dew flavors taste like someone dumped random kool aid packets into carbonated water anyway but I like this particular version. Tangerine maybe?

On the other hand I randomly picked up a bottle the other day at the store and realized what it was immediately, which is uncommon for me with mystery/hidden flavors for anything

but i eat a LOT of sour patch kids

even though the officially sanctioned answer was apparently :airquote: sour candy :airquote:

i wish there were better wholly unsweetened options than sparkling waters; hint water tastes good but is expensive as poo poo. steaz has a good unsweetened green tea with a few flavors.

I found a jones soda hatch chili and lime flavor. Surprisingly palatable, tasted exactly like it said

yeah, I was shocked at just how vegetal it tasted; very pepper-forward. I enjoyed it a lot as a novelty but wouldn't keep it stocked or anything.

finally found RUBY RED SQUIRT out in the wild

was pretty disappointing; good tasting soda, but squirt just has a refreshing crispness to it while the berry flavoring added in a cloyingness we didn't care for

i drove past a place i had never heard of before today called "swig" and when i googled them, yeah, it was all this stuff. like a sonic drink menu through a tiktok lens, lots of adding half and half and creamer and syrups to sodas with a hilarious emphasis on them being diet sodas or zero sugar bases or just straight up water.
