Odd shaped bottle and a flavor to match.

What it lacks in flavor, it makes up in …….OK well maybe the bottle is kinda neat looking. Has a flavor which resembles that of the dirt covered roots of the African pungent tree.

Bennett's Hot Cola

Oh sweet Jesus, save my mouth from melting... I should have known better. The first whiff out of the mug toasted my nostrils and watered my eyes. (Hint, drink with eyes closed, exhaling through nose with a raised mug may blind you). Sipping this drink is wrong, you must chug it for the full effect. It does have the added sensation of a whisky cola but, that is short lived. Drink one, I DARE YOU!!! (Jeff bet me a quater I wouldn't finish it, I am now 25 cents dumber)

OH HELL NO………I took a wiff of this shiz and it felt like I just snorted a straw of fire ants. One sip is all I needed. Soda should never taste like this. PERIOD. Must vomit before this reaches my arse. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!

Who-What-Why? Why did they reformulate this for the French? Why does it taste so damned bad? Why did they screw up a perfectly good Coke and market it for snail happy pate snackers with poor attitudes? It tastes like hell, and rightly so…

What the hey just happened? I know the bottle that we have here came from France. I want to say that it should taste the same all around the world. Obviously it doesn't. The ingredients are written in French so I'm gonna have to do a little research. Coke and Pepsi are what we humans use to calibrate our cola senses. This bottle is slightly tainted.

Dr. Pepper

Take two and call me in the morning. The imperial pure cane sugar really snaps the switch on the old taste buds. Dr.P has always been a favorite of min and will continue to be. I sure hope they never try and make a "New Dr.Pepper" mistake like Coke did. Wouldn't you want to try a Pepper too?

Who hasn't had a Dr Pepper? What caught our eye was the difference in Dr Peppers. Most are made with a form of corn syrup sweetener.(cheaper for the bottling company). However the original recipe called for "Imperial Pure Cane Sugar". (That is what we sampled here). Would I be able to taste the difference??? I dunno, can you?

Another one of these , “Hey Merle, can ya did up some of aunt Rita’s organic-herb-granola type ingredients for a new soda?” concoctions. I usually like these but the Skeleteens made this drink a bit hard to rate. It is really sweet and make you want to play racquetball like a crazed militant.

Luckily we don't go off scent alone. Enough said on that. After reading the first page of ingredients, I had to wonder how in the world did they fit all that crap in one bottle.(and still have a coloring lighter than a 10 cent bottomless cup of iced tea?) After reading the second page of ingredients I thought I found the cure for every possible disease not yet invented. As for flavor…let's not call it a cola. Let's just say "sugar flavored menagerie.

Sweet, smooth and delicious. Low belch factor and it didn't leave my teeth squeeky. Pass me another....

Jolt Cola (Twice the Caffeine)

Good cola scent, dry on the throat, fizzy on the brain. I think this is the official drink of programmers. Grab a case of Jolt, a box of twinkies and a thermos of coffee and you can code for days. Otherwise stay clear if you are an insomniac. My eyes hurt now....

Jolt Cola has always tasted like a watered down version of that store brand cola that costs 25 Cents. I seem to always get a headache when I drink it. Perhaps it's the inhuman amounts of caffeine that it claims to have. Perhaps it just sucks. My opinion will matter little because it does have quite a catchy name to it and every tweaker in town digs it.

Journey Dr. Whatever

Whatever ... that is exactly what I want to know! Not at all what I was expecting. The first scent is that of maraschino cherries and cola. Take a drink and the freaking aftertaste bug bites back hard. I was impressed with the 12 second belch after I guzzled the remainder of the soda in my mug.

Well the name leads us to believe that this is Journey's rendition of Dr. Pepper….I say no. Perhaps this can be best described as….say….umm….black cherry soda or cough syrup that is really runny or whatever.

Moxie Original Elixer

www.realsoda.com

Since 1884 and it still tastes horrible. Dry, bitter, horrid aftertaste, and smells like stale licorice. I do not like it, no sir. The fact that it has a flavor at all is what is keeping it up by half of a mug status.

I am caught between the taste of fruit candy and bug juice. It hits well but lingers in a bitter-foul way. I do not know if I could drink another.

Oh yes, mystic sea water has struck again. The arroma is that of seabass. The flavor is a tight marriage of bug candy and fruit juice.

Umm.. err... this is another one of them thar' new fangled herb drinks disguised as a cola. First sip was short of face puckering, after that, it was tolerable. It smells very good and as you get towards the bottom of the bottle, it starts to taste that way.

I'll tell ya, those Chinese are good at one thing....and it sure the hell ain't makin soda! Why is it that everything I buy that says "made in china" sucks? Is this even really made in china? I think I just belched out a Chinese proverb. He who drinks china cola, lacks wisdom.

The only difference between this and regular Pepsi is the carbonation. One swig of this induces the insta-belch factor. Slam the rest of the mug and you can stop dogs dead in their tracks, through double sheet-rock walls and a pane glass window. The carbonation does tend to ick the flavor a bit but, it is still Pepsi goodness in the bottle.

I don't know why or how we ended up with a Mexican version of Pepsi. I am told not to drink the water in Mexico. Is this made with Mexican water? If so maybe that would explain the ruthless amount of carbonation dwelling in my mug that is much too high for U.S. standards.

Riggs & Forsythe Authentic Dry Cola

www.riggsforsythe.com

The scent is that of a very fine cola. The taste is that of chalk and cola. I think I could drink 2 bottles of this and urinate dirt. This bottle screams to be mixed with whiskey.

My mom likes RC, I was raised on RC, anyone from the breadbasket of America drinks RC and having said that, RC kicks boo-tay! RC is the cola , bar none! I must go get a 6’er of this and share it with my kids. HOOOOWAH!!!

I've always liked RC Cola. I have to wonder why it never kept up with Pepsi and Coke. Perhaps it was due to poor advertising. The belch factor is high, making it fun to drink with your buddies. The flavor is sharp and to the point. Cola drinkers unite! Let's buy more RC.

This should also read on the label : “Guess where this Thum has been?” or “Thums Up your bum tastes as good as this cola.” It tastes like they filtered it through the front seat of a diesel mechanics truck. Freakin’ foul. I am going to retch, be back soon.

You know the smell that really old encyclopedias get when they have been in a library for over 40 years? That is what this tastes like. At best it will have a hint of cardboard flavoring. In defense of Thums Up, we could not find a freshness label anywhere. I'm betting it fell off shortly after WWII.

Whoooooooop!! Grab a case of this and treat yourself to some goodness. Yeah baby! Hoowah! Sweet, dark and full of flavor. I can not wait to try the other soda’s that these people make!

Gimme some lovin’

Dark in color like a cola should be. On a side note, let's just say the smell of cola in general is not very attractive. Anywho the flavor is a sweet taste that you can enjoy. The aftertaste is borderline. I would go back for seconds.
