Soda Critiques: Parts 1-3
9 years ago
Hey there, few watchers that I have! Here's something you may not have known about me! I LOVE soda. Like, not necessarily Coke/Pepsi. Those are alright, but (dare I say it...) too mainstream for me. No, I like the ones you DON'T find in every restaurant int he country. The ones you can only get at specialty soda shops.
Anyways, I recently went to one of these specialty soda shops called Rocket Fizz. It's an amazing place. I wound up with 30+ sodas, though 3 of them I'm saving for only special occasions. Here's a couple of pictures of my haul:

So what is this journal all about, then? Well, as a soda lover, I like to recommend sodas to others. That's what this is all about. On another site, I've been writing up reviews on these sodas as I drink them, only having one per day. I've already drank 3 and written reviews for them, so this particular journal, along with explaining what I'll be doing for the next month as I drink my soda, will include my first three reviews so that both sites can be in sync.
So here we go:
MacFuddy Pepper Elixir

Well. I really like this one. It's like a more aggressive version of Dr. Pepper with a little bit of cherry cola mixed in. It's quite strong, with an interesting aftertaste. It's got a bit of a burn to it that one would expect from a ginger beer. I say if you like Dr. Pepper and want to try something stronger, I recommend it.
Also, it says it's infused with luck. Whether it's true or not, it can't hurt.

Dragon Tail Lightning Cola with Tea

This soda is actually a carbonated energy drink, which is good because I drank it on a Monday morning... The flavor of it actually reminds me a little of Curiosity Cola, a drink I've grown quite fond of. It's got a similar herbal flavor to it, with a bit of flowery going on. It might be the tea. Either way, this is one great-tasting drink. I recommend it if you need a morning pick-me-up and don't like coffee.

Dad-Gum-It Root Beer Butterscotch
(I couldn't find a picture of this, so I'll have to take one...)
Part of the reason I picked this one up is because of the name, "Dad-Gum-It!". I also picked it up because I've had another butterscotch root beer in the past (Which was made by a brand called "Dang!" Very similar, eh?) and it was great. Anyways, on to the review. One would expect this to be incredibly sweet, due to the butterscotch, but it's fairly weak in the butterscotch department. It's strong enough to taste the hints of among the root beer flavor, though. It's got some sweetness to it, but the butterscotch does get a little overpowered. It's good, but I think I'll stick with Dang! for my butterscotch root beer needs.
Rating: ★★★
So, I hope you enjoy seeing random reviews of soda. If not, too bad, this is happening anyways. If you do like soda and want to suggest one or just see new ones to try out yourself, feel free to stick around, comment, whatever. We can talk about soda all day. Hehe.
