Oren Tries = Bubble Up, Dr. Enuf, & Mexican Sprite
14 years ago
Hello and WELCOME to the first soda journal installment of 2012! I finally got some more material from Cracker Barrel's shop and here to share with you! Plus another Mexican version of an already popular drink has wondered into the USA... Let's start, shall we?
BUBBLE UP was made by Sweet Valley Products in 1919 in Sandusky, OH. (INB4 Penn State) In 2007 it was bought by Hedinger and now licensed under Dad's Root Beer Inc, which I hope to get my hands on some of that soon. And many critics claim Sprite and 7 Up copied from this soda since 7 Up was produced in 1929 and Sprite in 1961. So Bubble Up could have been the original Lemon Lime soda? Let me find out.
SMELL = Smells great. Smells like Sprite but I can sense the Lemon & Lime flavor more.
TASTE = It's not too intense. I like up. I can taste the Lemon & Lime in it more than 7 Up Retro which I did months ago. I say pick this up if you want to. I recommend it.
DR. ENUF, what can I say about this soda? Unique. It was an idea from a Chicago businessman to make a soda that contained B vitamins with caffeine and sugar. (Could this be the first Energy Drink ever?) Someone from Tennessee caught word of this and thus in 1949, Dr. Enuf was conceived in Tri-City Beverage in Johnson City, TN. the same place where Mountain Dew would see the light of day years later.
SMELL = I can smell the vitamins in it with Lemon & Lime, too.
TASTE = ...Strange...yet fascinating. It tastes like Lemon & Lime soda mixed with Ginger Ale. This has to be the most unique soda I have ever tasted. I say if you want a healthy energy drink, Dr. Enuf is for you. Pick this one up, even though it's rare and sold mainly in the Southeast.
MEXICAN SPRITE. Here it is, another one has arrived from South of the boarder. Not much to explain about this one so let's dive right in.
SMELL = Hm. Smells good. It's the same smell of Sprite but with no carbonation getting up your nostrils.
TASTE = Mmm... Oh my goodness... This goes down smooth... Like-Like how I drank it back in the 90's when I was a kid! Less carbonated, more taste...! I recommend it. BUY this. Worth the cash. Not worth doing a VS. 7 Up Retro or VS. Bubble Up over. So delicious...
That ends it, a perfect score. Join in next time where I'll get more from the Cracker Barrel shop! In the meantime, drink it up, drink it in, my friends.

Fur Friends = 
And yeah, I was surprised by Bubble Up's rich history. I assumed it too but I bought it anyway. You can easily request it at the nearest Cracker Barrel. That's where I get my Double Cola.
