Sierra Mist Ruby Splash

It’s not often that you can smell a soda from like, a foot away. It’s also rare that you can smell a soda from like a foot away AND feel like you’re eating the fruit flavor that it features. Both of the above are true for Sierra Mist Ruby Splash.

I guess I’ll start out by saying that if you’re a fan of Grapefruit, this is probably your dream soda. I can’t really recall an experience with soda where the flavor was more intense and accurate. Sierra Mist Ruby Splash absolutely nails the Grapefruit flavor. Not only that, but they made it work with the Lemon-Lime flavor perfectly, as well.

The bitter taste of Grapefruit is certainly present. I’m not a big Grapefruit fan, but this soda is actually kinda good. If you’re not a fan of the flavor either, you might as well give it a try. It’s not like there’s an old lady serving you a Grapefruit with a spoon for breakfast, it’s just soda. A particularly fancy type, at that. Plus they just redesigned their look, and now it’s all woodsy and mysterious, so that’s a plus, too. This powerful flavor has a pungent scent and an intense taste, so regardless of personal biases, you should try it.

5/7

Pomegranate 7 Up

Pomegranate 7-Up

Pomegranate 7-Up is a novel idea that would work great in theory, but in practice it falls a bit short. And by 'in practice' I mean 'mid-sip'. And by 'falls a bit short' I mean 'lacks any semblance to Pomegranate or Lemon-Lime'...

  1. >Reminds me of Fresca. Is Fresca even still sold? Maybe I haven’t been looking but I remember it being pretty decent. Sierra Mist has a really good Cranberry Splash soda.


  2. >I think it actually is still around. I remember having Fresca a few times, and it is nowhere near as awesome as this stuff.


  3. >I really like this drink. Very tasty. I am drinking it right now!


  4. >Fresca underwent a label makeover, they have three flavors now. The red one is really good, and I had a regular grapfruit one yesterday.


  5. >"Peshooooooooooooi!" The Pop to dream about is here before the dream began. "Teseeeeeeeeeeeeeit!"
