What a nice summer treat this would be. Currently it is 28° with a wind-chill of 13® but in this bottle it's summer time.

We all know what ginger tastes like. There's ginger ale and then there's ginger beer. This drink, like the Ale-8-One are spicy, but they are a nice middle ground between the two. You don't taste the lemongrass too much until the ginger lets go of your tongue, then you are left with the sweet taste of the lemongrass. It has just the right amount of citrus flavor.

If you ever have the opportunity, get this. It's very refreshing and they make it in a larger bottle for those who can't get enough.

You've got two screaming kids. Sometimes they suck. Face it. Your "angels" aren't perfect. Honestly, they don't suck. They're still screaming and you have to solve this predicament ASAP. You open the fridge and you've got a little bit of chocolate milk. Not enough for two stupid kids, but maybe one and a half kids. Since you "can't" cut little Tommy in half you have no choice but to, gulp, water down the chocolate milk. You do it, don't look back, and give those brats something to stop their crying.

You can tell the difference because you're an adult and have been drinking chocolate milk your entire life. Those kids sucked it right up. What you tastes. Tastes like this CK chocolate soybean drink. It's not as thick as regular chocolate milk or soymilk. Maybe that soymilk and soybean drink are different even though they are made from the same animal.

Your kids are now fine and you found that watered down chocolate milk passes the kid test. It's a fiscal score for you. Good job. Not so much for CK. It was under $1 so it's not a jip. You got what you paid for.

There are a couple gems at Asian markets. There are a lot of borderline poisonous drinks there, too. I'm not going to tell you to be careful because it's actually fun to hang out with friends and drink something putrid. That's what being friends is all about.

This DemiSoda was good. It tasted like green apples. Green apples and sugar but still green apple juice. It comes in a responsible sized can and comes in different flavors. I'll get them if you promise to do the same. Deal?

My lady-friend grabbed a bottle of Bottle Green when we were on a weekend trip to Toronto. It was pretty great. I was excited when we were able to get some more. This is a nice blend of juices that have the perfect amount of carbonation. What makes it even better is that sugar is way down on the ingredients list. It's just fruity and not sugary.
It is definitely more sparkling juice than soda pop. It's very quick to hit you with the flavor, and it leaves you just as quick. I could totally see hippy executives drinking this at business meetings. It's classy, tasty, and one of the best sparkling juices I've ever had.

At first sip, this drink was good. On subsequent sips, this drink was strange and then good again? Why? Initially, it was just different. Then you realized that it was a pretty accurate pineapple taste. There was something off about it, though, and then I think that I narrowed it down. Think of eating a fresh pineapple. Like, cut it yourself fresh. Now erase that thought, go to the worst market you know of and buy the oldest possible can of canned pineapple and make that into a pop.

As a drink, it's not bad. Like I said, it tastes like canned pineapple. Maybe more like a can and pineapple. Goats would love this drink. Tropical goats. It is a lightly carbonated drink and even though you got an initial taste of can, it was worth it because it's some of the best pineapple flavor I've had outside of a real pineapple.

I got this at an Indian market and the label was half Hindi (or whatever language that was) and half English.

Mike wasn't really into the Cici drink he had, but I think this is fun. It's not something that I want a lot, but it's a nice treat. It has both jello and nata de coco in it. It's actually more of a dessert than a beverage. It's not really very fluid. It's more of a liquid jello with nata de coco in it. It has a pineapple taste, but it doesn't taste exactly like a pineapple. That's my only real complaint.

Let me be the first to say that I'm sorry Fentiman's. We are straightedge dudes and we do not partake in anything alcoholic. When we saw "0.5%" alcohol, we just chalked you up as a company we would never be able to partake in. Then, when we recently found out that Sprite or 7Up has more alcohol content in it, we decided that we couldn't avoid you any more. So, we're sorry and we can't wait to tear into some quad-packs of your delicious pop.
REVIEW!

Good. I liked it. I know Jay will like it. It's got capsicum in it which is the key to a good ginger beer, in my opinion. The Goya Ginger Beer had it in it and scored them a 5 out of 5. This is a wonderfully burning drink that I can see buying and rebuying again. I was thrilled what my friend Robbie brought it over. It had a nice burn and we all agreed. It left you with a subtle "hotness" and a nice sweetness. I easily could have drunk another one if I didn't have any self control for my body or teeth.

I know Fentiman's is becoming more and more available throughout this area and if we have it, you shouldn't have any problem finding it. We had it at our major grocery store but you might be able to find it at your local beer merchant if they know what's good for them.

When you see a bottle of wheat juice for $2.59, walk away. Wheat grass is great and ridiculously healthy. You know what else it is? Expensive. Don't try to convince yourself that you're in an Asian mart and that maybe it's more plentiful there, hence it's way cheaper. You'd be way wrong. It tastes like liquid wheat grass candy. The ingredients say the product name is "rock candy with wheat juice." That's about right for how it tastes. I could see kids really loving this, but me I can't make it through a small glass of it.

I was going to get to this drink eventually, but Mike wouldn't shut up about the one he drank. It quickly climbed to the top of my to-drink list.
This is more than likely the strangest thing I've ever drunk. It's like someone poured a nice half glass of sparkling white grape juice, then they filled the rest with unflavored jello that wasn't completely solidified yet. So, so weird. I poured it into a glass. I didn't have to rip off the top like Mike, but it did take some effort. It looked like a gel candle. The carbonation bubbles got stuck in the jelly/jello.
It's strange, but once you get used to the jelly/jello it's really good.

Abbott Farms did not do to well in the world of sodas, but they do know how to make a cider. Fill up a blender with strawberries and sugar and puree that little guy. Then do whatever it is that you do to apples to make cider. It really seems like you can taste the strawberries, seeds and all. No there aren't really any seeds in this, so you don't have to worry about them annoyingly getting stuck in your teeth. If you have any interest in strawberries, this is a must have.

Dear nata de coco, I know you mean well, and you are so close to being incredible. It turns out that you are just a little too hard and solid. I wish you were just a little bit gummier. In the end really, it's not you it's me. You really do have a decent mango flavoring to you, but I just can't get into the texture of your chunks. As a result I will be continuing my affair with your cousin. That's right, I'm leaving you for my true love....aloe. Please stay strong through this. I know in a moment of weakness I will probably give you another try, but realize this will only be a fleeting moment, and we are not meant to be.

Woah jelly. Get it? Like "Woah Nelly," the debut album from Nelly Furtado. Get it? Hilarious. I'm hilarious. I also write all my own jokes. Ladies, seriously, I'm a gem.

This is a strange drink. Do I need to say that? It comes in a bag like a Capri Sun except with a pre-installed straw. Nice of Cici to do so. Thanks, Cici. This drink has nata de coco but it is more like an aloe vera than, say a
Mogu Mogu drink. It's also way less "stingy" than that but, in exchange, way more potent. Almost like a strawberry perfume. Something girls would wear in 4th grade to attract boys, even though 4th grades should spend more time on long division and less time on perfume and boys.

Alas, this is not a great drink. I'm no yuppie, but I find this drink uncivilized. Kids though? Kids would/should/do (probably) love this stuff. You can too for the ultra low price of around 70 cents. They have a lot of different flavors, too, and multipacks with a couple in it. This of them like juice-boxes, in bags, with chunks, built in straws, and less good.

This is my least favorite aloe vera drink. Can you have a least favorite? Wouldn't your least favorite just be bad? Couldn't you just say you didn't like it or just not describe it as a favorite? Allow me to revise...

This was the worst aloe vera drink I've ever had. It's harsh, I know, and Foco has done me right with some of their nectars and stuff but this is just plain not great. It's got a strange odor to it. Someone I worked with described it as "...like Play Doh®" and because I can't think of a better description, I have no choice but to agree. The honey taste is very good, though. Not enough to save it, but a good, natural tasting honey. It reminds me of these honey hard candies I used to get from The Nature Company that had real honey on the inside. Those candies were the only things I ever bought in that store. Did you know that when The Nature Company did inventory, they had people count all of the tumbled rocks in a giant barrel? My mom had to count small rocks for a night and she probably still has nightmares.

Get that candy. Don't get this drink.

America. Why don't you embrace the flavors of melons: honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, and so on? They're good guys. Why would you leave them out of your lineups? Did they do something wrong? It's not like we, Americans, don't buy these fruits. So why would you assume that we don't want the same fruits in juice form? India knows what their people want and created this little guy.

That being said, it was kind of a poor execution. It tastes like someone got a hold of those Monin flavor concentrates and just put it in a glass of water. It tastes very syrupy, even though it's real sugar. Even still, there was like 26% juice, which was actually surprising. It did taste like watermelon in small sips, but in big sips it got quite gross fast.

If you're feeling melon-y, get one of these. They come in a three pack and might be $1.50 at your local Indian grocer. It's worth that, but not a penny more.

I love passionfruit. It's my go to flavor whenever I get bubble tea. That being said, this is my first go at a straight up passionfruit juice. Normally it's mixed with a handful of other flavors in some sort of fruit medley. After drinking this I am further convinced it is a superior fruit. It somehow reminds me of a non-sour grapefruit juice. It's such a distinct taste. I don't think I could drink more than a glass of it in a day. It would be too much.

Smell? Eh, not too desirable. Taste? Eh, not too desira...wait...good. Let's try that again. Smell? Weird. It's really not good. Downright bad. The initial taste is also not that good. The tail end and aftertaste are good though, which is why you keep coming back for another sip, all the while, enduring 50% bad for the 50% good.

It's hard to get a hold of because it's all over the place. You know the payoff will be worth it, but at what cost? It almost doesn't want you to come back because it's so uninviting.

This was different. When I think of cider, I think of apples, but this was not related to apples in the slightest. It contained muscadine juice, whatever that is. Although I don't know what it is, I can tell you what it tastes like. Remember when you were under 21 or straightedge and you celebrated events like birthdays, holidays, or graduations and you drank non-alcoholic cranberry champagne? This tasted just like it but it wasn't carbonated. It's just like that and it's very good. Also, I don't know what a typical "blush" tastes like so I can't compare it to that.

I don't know why they called it cider because it would be considered a juice. To add insult to injury, this drink contains 60% juice.

Also, for the record, there was stuff in it. Was it muscadine? Was it something else? I don't care. I like stuff in my drink. I do not like sludge in my drink, typically. There is a difference.

Jay got this drink for me while he was on tour with Failures' Union and the label says it was from Georgia. So either get it from their website or drive on down to Georgia and get a strange barrel shaped bottle.

Wawa is a member of the prestige grouping of my top three gas stations/mini marts. I believe they only have them in PA and NJ. I'm currently visiting NJ to work on some stuff with my new band. On the way to practice we stopped at a Wawa. There are three very important things go get at these stores, "Built to Order" hoagies, soft pretzels and their store brand iced tea.
Most store brand teas that come in big jugs are basically brown sugar water. This is actual tea made with real sugar, and even though there is a notice on the bottle that says, "Contains no raspberry juice," it somehow actually tastes like the fruit.
This is probably the #1 drink in the ghetto tea category. Now someone pass me the mustard for my pretzel.

Hansen's you've done it again! You consistently put out some of my favorite sodas. Their products always go down smooth. Well, unless you drink it after it's been sitting in a car on a boiling summer day. Then it gets crazy harsh and it becomes an interesting adventure. It happened to us once and we couldn't stop drinking it, even though it felt like acid was melting our throats.
This is made with extracts of actual mandarin oranges and limes. That instantly gives it an advantage over most sodas.

Honey, thanks for going to the grocery store and picking up the stuff for taco night. Did you get the iced tea mix while you were there? You did? You're the best. Now I will continue talking to you while I reach into the bag without looking and grab the iced tea mix to make myself a glass. I am still paying no attention to what I am doing while I pour myself a glass of water open the package and mix it in. Say, this iced tea tastes weird. Oh well, bottoms up! *chug.spit.gag* How the hell did I not realize that I used taco seasoning instead of iced tea mix!
Mix a packet of taco seasoning into a glass of sparkling water and you have the worst drink ever. I think that's what they did here. I should have been tipped off that it has both salt and black salt in it. I couldn't even swallow my first sip.
My condolences to India, I just do not understand the allure of this beverage at all. Gaaaaaaarrrooooooooosssss!
