Lil bit of carbonation

soda and beverage review blog. my qualifications are that I'm a white boy who has lived a quarter of a century and I love high fructose corn syrup

[sodajerking]

Pinned for any new followers, my opinions of any soda I review will be shaped by the following facts about me:

-im a Club Cool apologist

-im allergic to aspartame but I'm trying to overcome this

-i like carbonated waters

-i like beers

-i like my steely Dan records (Aja, gaucho, the royal scam)

-my resting heart rate is 104

-i live by a beautiful lake which makes the beverages hit more

-i can identify more birds of southeastern Ontario than most people can but not as many as an expert bird watcher.

-ive been pursuing esoteric beverages since I was 8 years old

-i think radio towers are hotter than smokestacks but smokestacks are hotter than lighthouses.

-i have a complex and sordid history with stevia that verges on hatesex

DNI if:

-you think dr pepper has any place in the coke v Pepsi discourse (it is a seperate experience)

-you treat Lester's fixings as real sodas (they are Reddit memes, not worth consideration)

-you have a stomach ulcer.

Please remember to open pressurized beverages slowly to avoid a big sticky mess 🥰

Under communism the wait staff will not ask if Pepsi is okay. You will not even find out that's its Pepsi instead of coke until you take your first sip. Unless you train like me, to know the difference from the sound of the Fizz alone, that is the only way we can beat communism and I can teach you. Take my hand. Not like that you grabbed it gay. Stop. Giggles. I SAID STOP

I can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi by scent, is that weird?

[coughloop]

its really weird

One of my favorite tiktok niches that was created by people so bored they’re barely alive is that there’s a whole diet soda community where they believe everything you do greatly effects the way diet soda tastes and there are very specific methods of serving it to make sure you get the right flavor as if it’s an expensive steak or something. but the best part is they believe how long you leave it in the fridge is the most important part in all of it, which they call, “marinating”

why is everything so beaugiful...

Cocacola peach

Real cokeheads will remember that coke did release a Georgia peach flavour a few years back. I don't remember if they were any good, I mostly remember that they were expensive, being sold in glass bottles at the grocery store.

This isn't the Georgian peach flavour, this is the one they sell in China. As with all coke products, the flavour is exactly as described, it's coke but it tastes a lil like peach. I like peach, so I was of course primed to like this.

The perfect drink for building my mobile fighter GF13-001NHII master gundam: Master Asia from G Gundam. This is my first master grade kit and it's far more complex than the HG kits. Supposedly this was one of the last Gundam lines to use nail components so I've had to dig out the Phillip's head for this assembly.

This delicious coke product gave me the energy needed to complete his left arm so for that I'm gonna give it A tier.

Ideal fruit soda go

No contest it's the melon frosty fanta they only carry at club cool in epcot. It's the best tasting melon soda and it's unobtainability makes it like ambrosia to me. For a long time I thought the taste I remembered from my childhood was merely tinted rosy by nostalgia and that the many melon sodas I'd tried since that failed to taste as sweet were proof enough that my memories were false, but I returned to disney when I was 20 and discovered I was correct all along: the perfect melon soda exists only in a single soda fountain, at a pavilion that might be shut down at any time.

Please fanta if ur reading this please you need to bring back the original thai melon frosty soda. I know you still have the syrups because they're at club cool. Please I know we've had our differences in the past but I implore you! I can't afford to go to Disney anymore and we need to move the melon sodas out of there before the Imagineers take too much sudafed and decide to bulldoze the club cool pavilion to make way for the navi patriot immersive experience

NOTE: Dr Pepper is not a cola. Root beer is not a cola. Craft colas do not count. This doesn't consider regional mass produced colas for simplicities sake. If you have a nuanced response I don't care about it, just pretend you're at a restaurant and being offered both, just larp with me and stop being so complicated.

In the end it seems coke was the seme and Pepsi was the uke

Thank you everyone who participated in this monumental social experiment, I expect to have your cokeXpepsi gijinkas on my desk tomorrow and if Pepsi is topping were gonna have issues.

Special thanks to Seymour who's currently dying in the jungle. He will be greatly missed.

Something bugging me lately, as a soda blogger with like some interest in like research data that is currently sifting thru a lot of notes arguing Pepsi v Coke, is that I'm like fairly confident everyone who keeps insisting "actually Pepsi scores better in blind taste tests" are wrong, mainly cuz that fact is from like pop (hehe) "research" done by the Pepsi company for the purpose of advertising but the thing is is like, disproving it would require researching it myself and I don't actually wanna put that much effort into a soda blog. Also the most accessible oppositional source is from a different pop science author that I hate so like I'd have to actually dig for this info

[sodajerking]

Really love this blog. Ive been making review videos about the fucked up coke seasonal flavors for a few years. I feel like theres a need to evangelize about drinks that more people should tap into. Have you had maine root? I worked in a restaurant that stocked it years ago in texas, and after they stopped stocking it i thought it was lost to me :( now im living in maine and i was so surprised to find it just sitting around. I think i just never processed that the maine in maine root. Meant it was from maine

A fellow reviewer I tip my hat to you. I actually wanted to make a soda review channel back when I was in first year uni but never did. I worried it would get repetitive, tho I think narrowing the scope to limited edition cokes is a very good way to do it.

I've never had Maine root, again I have trouble getting my hands on American regional sodas, but I will definitely add it to my wishlist for when I'm in the states or if I find it at any specialty stores here.

Not really a review, this doesn't count as a soda, merely an anecdote.

After a long walk the other day and getting high in a public park (as is my god given right) I went looking for munchies and ended up at one of my favorite snack meccas. In a bit of a daze my eyes fell to a yummy looking glass bottle full of like drinkable strawberry yogurt (I'm a bit of a strawberry milk addict) and kinda bought it without thinking. Cashier might have given me a look but I didn't think much of it– I get paranoid everyone is giving me a look all the time at baseline and wisdom has taught me to suppress such premonitions lest I stop leaving the house.

Perhaps I over compensated. Turns out the drink I purchased was like, a bottle for babies, like it had a nipple on it. Much to my dismay I could not drink it while walking home. I didn't have too much pride not to drink from it in my apartment tho.

You're probably gonna ask me how I didn't notice. I don't fucking know. Honest truth. I saw a strawberry and gluttony overtook me.

While on discord, my dear friends decided to taunt this foolish stoner by telling me that the store owners most definitely think I'm a pervert now. A good reason to snack a lil less this week.

I've learned some ppl get stuck gas from carbonated drinks.

This humble beverage enjoyer would like to provide some advice: if you have stuck gas, lean slightly forward, make a fist, and give a forceful tap to your back just below the shoulder blades but above the base of the ribs. You can try this a couple times.

Yes it's like burping a baby but you can't allow yourself shame in that. The principal is the same, does the pain of trapped air in your stomach make you more of an adult?

what do you think of chinotto / italian bitter orange soda

Adore Italian bitter sodas. I think the only chinotto I've had is the San Pellegrino brand but my province also has a soda brand called Brio that uses chinotto as one of its flavors. I've also had like classic Italian sodas from the street food vendors at the summer food festival in little Italy and i usually go for lemon or chinotto. Long time followers of this blog will know that my soda enlightenment was on bitter sodas, so like I'm very partial to any drink with that flavour profile.
