  7. I recently posted about the US version of Fanta Peach, which I like very much, to a degree I declared it's probably my new favorite Fanta flavor.

    I found this from the other side of the world: 芬达 水蜜桃味汽水, or Fanta Peach-flavored soda from mainland China.

    This seems to be pretty much the same thing, maybe a bit sweeter but still great. I wonder why Europe never got theses, we've been stuck with the same orange Fanta with maybe some one shots specials here and there.

    Also this can was pretty interesting to examine, as I recently also posted a picture of the Hong Kong market passion fruit - grape fruit Fanta. It had both, English and Mandarin text on it, but this can is purely in Mandarin, save a very small "Coca-Cola Company" copyright hidden next to the bar code.

  11. This is Juju cola by Olvi, another local soda.

    This is like a train wreck. A huge "SUGAR FREE" jumps out from the label, making me question my life choices for paying 4.70€ for this god awful piece of shit in an amusement park arcade's cafeteria.

    It tastes artificial in so many ways. The horrible taste of sweeteners slaps my face like a piss soaked towel. Then comes the super artificial "cola" taste. It makes me wish I had ordered water.

    There's absolutely zero redeeming qualities in this. It's an embodiment of everything that's wrong with today's sodas.

    I'm fairly sure if I had pissed in a pint later, that would've been better than this.

  16. I ran out of my normal lunch soda (Zero Sugar RC Cola in a can) so today I packed one of my fancy bottled sodas: Boylan Diet Cola! Ever since Pepsi discontinued 1893, this has been my favorite domestic cola. I used to be able to get it locally no problem, but alas now I only get a few bottles a year.

    Strong notes of citrus mixed with a healthy dose of nutmeg and coriander. The added caffeine comes from coffee, which adds another layer. It's fantastic!

  26. Another Fanta from China, this one is for HK area I think, as the label is in western font but the backside is in both, English and Chinese. This is Fanta Passion fruit-grape fruit.

    First of all, it sure looks pretty, light pink. It smells of grape fruit mainly, but the taste is a weird combination of both, it starts with a very strong passion fruit and then there's grapefruit too. Thanks to weirdnesses like this I'm such a fan of Asian sodas!

  30. Tonight, a regional favorite: Double Cola! The Double Cola Company is probably better known for their citrus drink, Ski, but I still like their cola. Originally named for coming in a 12oz bottle when Coke only came in 6oz bottles, Double Cola was also the first mainstream soda offered in a 16oz bottle.

    It's otherwise a very ordinary cola. Having grown up near a bottler though, it tastes to me of summer camp nostalgia - it's something I get for the memory rather than the flavor.

  34. Today, another Orca 'retro' soda: Nichol Kola! The original was produced in the '30s by H.R. Nicholson, a fruit and vegetable cannery. Apparently it was a big enough hit that Coca-Cola bought the production rights in the '50s and killed it. I have heard this version allegedly still uses kola nuts as a flavoring, although the ingredient listing ('natural flavorings') is too vague to confirm.

    It's a good cola, spicy, without the chemically aftertaste of mainstream colas.

  37. Here's AR's 新鮮 ブルーベリー or literally translated Fresh Blueberry.

    Despite the strong Japan-vibe, it's actually European product.

    It's also not just blueberry, but also blackcurrant, which I had guessed before even looking at the list of ingredients. On the positive sides, it tastes pretty decent, has no bullshit artificial sweeteners in it and the taste comes from actual berries.

    It comes in one of these transparent cans and you can see the soda itself is blue and not just the can. The color again is pretty, like someone had put a Smurf in a blender.

  39. The international market in Fairfield also has a really solid domestic glass-bottle soda section. There used to be a good place closer to home, but now I have to make a point to grab my favorites when we're there. Here's one of them: MacFuddy Pepper Elixir!

    I normally don't think much of the Orca Beverages 'retro' sodas, but this one is actually really good - it's like a Dr Pepper, but moreso, and with a *strong* black peppery burn.
