Zuberfizz Strawberry Rhubarb
/
Quick, picture a rhubarb. For seven of you a clear concise picture popped into your head. The remainder had pictures spinning and stopping as if on a slot machine in their heads, never quite landing on one that worked. Rhubarb looks a little bit like red celery. I have no idea what it tastes like personally but according to the internet it is similar to sour green apples. I bring this up, as you’ve likely guessed, because today’s soda is Zuberfizz Strawberry Rhubarb.

I thought I’d tried every Sprecher soda out there, but thankfully I haven’t. Sprecher makes some of the most consistently great soda out there and has wonderful label art to boot. Today’s flavor offering is Cherry-Cran (sweetened with a combination of glucose syrup and honey), which is sounds a bit odd if you ask me. Normally when “Cran” is involved it gets first billing, like Cran-Apple or Cran-Grape. Perhaps Ocean Spray has just made my brain accept that this is the normal order of things. Well here comes Sprecher to throw chaos into the mix with their Cherry-Cran taste, and I’m quite pleased to try it.
Read MoreJackson Hole Soda - Grand Teton Grape
/
My fifth grade teacher was talking to us about the Grand Teton Mountain Range. I’m not sure why, I just remember the subject being discussed. At the end of the conversation she told us “Do you know what Grand Teton means? It means large *makes motion with hands that would make anyone think breasts*”. I’m not sure why she told us that, if it was a giggle test to check our maturity or if she just wanted to make learning cool. Either way it stuck with me, though there’s a chance it was named after the Teton Sioux tribe instead.
Read MorePrivate Selection - Huckleberry Hibiscus Cream Soda
/
The final bottle of Private Selection (Kroger Brand) soda is upon us. Huckleberry Hibiscus Cream Soda is the flavor on hand and I’ve saved it for last for a reason. I’m often intimidated by flower flavored beverages. You tell me something tastes like cherry I know what to expect. Cola? You bet, I have several examples of that in my mind. Sarsaparilla is where it begins to get a little fuzzy, but I still feel confident enough to write on it. Rose, Hibiscus, or Lemongrass… I really reach to put my thoughts on paper.
Read MoreMTN DEW Game Fuel - Arctic Burst
/
In clearing out my backlog of sodas that I need to review I came across a variety of Mountain (stock symbol MTN) Dew (stock symbol DEW). MTN DEW as many of you are aware is known for their somewhat experimental nature with sodas which is certainly something I applaud them for. Their army of soda flavors and penchant for change is a strength in the soda world in my opinion. Not all of the flavors are a hit with me, but guess what, I’m not the only person in the world who drinks soda so that’s A-OK.
Read MorePrivate Selection - Creamy Ginger Root Beer
/
Another day, another bottle of Private Selection soda from Kroger. The past few bottles have been honest in their flavor which is appreciated. Today’s offering is Creamy Ginger Root Beer. From the name alone I’m fairly excited to taste this one. I like creamy sodas, I like ginger sodas, I like root sodas, and I like beer sodas. Perhaps my breakdown is a little off, but you get the jist. Here’s hoping this soda’s “title” isn’t the only delectable portion.
Read MorePrivate Selection - Irish Cream: Cream Soda
/
“Howdy” to all the citizens of the Carbo-Nation! It’s 2018 and we’ve got some new sodas to review. First things first we’re going to continue visiting some of the Private Selection (read: Kroger) brand sodas I picked up a while back. They all seem to be non-alcoholic sodas themed to be like alcoholic sodas. It’s an odd pairing, but they’ve been pretty spot on so far with their flavor creation.
Read More30P Energy Drink (Fan Review)
/
The 30p energy drink has recently gone down in price by 5 pence. Anyone who lives in the UnitedKingdom and visits this blog will know the infamous 35p energy drink as it frequents the shelves of every single corner shop in the UK. It is made by the company Booker retail, who also owns a lot of the franchise names, such as Londis and Premier, where these drinks are sold. At a time when, it seems, every solitary product, whether it is a loaf of bread, bottle of milk or can of coke, seems to be creeping up in price, but the faithful 30p energy drink not only stays the same, but has reduced in price.

Well it’s been a couple of weeks, but I’ve got another bottle of Private Selection soda in front of me today. Last time we tried their Bourbon Barrel Cola, but today it’s all about the Hopped Grapefruit Cream Soda.
Read MorePrivate Selection - Bourbon Barrel Cola
/
It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a cola, so when I ventured out into the wilds and found myself in a Kroger I was hopeful. On the far end of the soda aisle, where the “fancy” sodas live, I saw a grouping of Private Selection brand beverages. Private Selection is a Kroger brand, but they do a good job keeping their name off the bottle and go with a simple, elegant design. Fortunately for me one of the Private Selection sodas is a cola, specifically Bourbon Barrel Cola.
