Soda impressions

I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
A new BevMo (Beverages and More, store full of drinks) opened up down the street, so my mom and I went to check it out. There were a ton of specialty sodas (referred to by BevMo as "adult" sodas), so I bought eight different ones to try. They are:
Ranume
Kickapoo Joy Juice
Black Lemonade
Jack Black's Blue Creme Soda
Leninade
Sioux City Sarsaparilla
Jackson Hole Snake River Sarsaparilla
Jackson Hole High Mountain Huckleberry Soda
Now, I taste.
Ranume -- This is that Japanese soda with the marble at the top. You push it in and it rolls around in the neck (which is all weird looking). It tastes like alcohol, but isn't. It sucks. 3/10
Kickapoo Joy Juice -- This has been sometimes called "Injun Piss". Honestly, it's not bad. Kind of hard to describe, though. Like ginger ale, but not exactly. It claims to be citrus flavored, which I can kinda see. Not necessarily something I'll buy again, but I definitely wouldn't refuse one if offered. 7/10
Black Lemonade -- This stuff is sour, and fizzy. Doesn't taste much like lemonade, but it is pretty good. It's the best one so far, but considering the other two were Japanese piss and Injun piss, that isn't saying much. Still, 8/10
I'll try the rest tomorrow, as I want to be able to get some sleep tonight.
Update: Two more sodas.
Jack Black's Blue Creme Soda -- This is basically creme soda with a blue coloring. However, it's made with cane sugar, which makes it awesome. 9/10
Leninade -- "A taste worth standing in line for!" This is a nice cherry flavored drink, reminds me a bit of Code Red. Quite refreshing, really. 9/10
One more:
Jackson Hole High Mountain Huckleberry Soda -- Tasty stuff. I've never had any huckleberries before, so I can't vouch for how much it tastes like huckleberries, but I really like it. It reminds me of the boysenberry punch at Knott's Berry Farm, which I love. 9/10
Alright, last update. Battle of the sarsaparilla sodas.
Jackson Hole Snake River Sarsaparilla -- I love sarsaparilla, and this is good stuff. If you've never had sarsaparilla, it's like root beer, only stronger (and better, I think). 10/10
Sioux City Sarsaparilla -- This is a really good sarsaparilla, too, but it's actually much different than the Snake River stuff. It's a bit sweeter, but not too sweet, like the Kickapoo Juice. I've actually had this stuff before, and I love it. 10/10
The winner: TIE. I seriously can't decide which one I like better. I'm probably going to end up getting the Sioux City stuff more, but I really like the Snake River kind, too.
Oh, and here's a bonus sarsaparilla fun fact from Wikipedia:
"A carbonated sarsaparilla beverage produced by several different companies in Australasia is called Sars."
Oh dear.
