Fresca

Fresca : 7/1/2005: Fast approaching perfect, this nostalgia soda is said to have a "crisp citrus taste." No joke, it's a great taste that quenches the thirst and doesn't leave you feel too sugary. As far as sodas go, this soda's a lot better for you than the others. It's a sweet, but not too sweet taste. It's the first fruit drink to rise to the level of 9 thumbs up. On the east coast one can aparently get them anywhere tap water is distributed. On the west coast, I've only found them at Smart & Final for sale in bulk. Other than that, I found one recently at Taco Surf in Pacific Beach (San Diego), CA. It went great with my California Burrito (Chicken, hash browns, cheese, beans and rice). Fruit, USA

LaDonte King Rating: 6 - Unfortunately, I had to score this entry as a 6 due to the fact that it resembled more of a diet feel. I do in fact like that it was without the tastebud-trembling, much fear "diet soda aftertaste". Cherron Kofford Rating: 9 - I can't give it greatest soda ever made, since I haven't tried them all, but I've loved this soda ever since I stole a can from my grandpa when I was a kid. Bubbly and tangy--perfect! Lindsay Rating: 8 - Delicious, refreshing, and different than most typical sodas due to its citrus flavors. Peter Trinh Rating: 7 - I have seen several flavors lemon-lime (the pictured), black cherry, and peach. Mixed bag, depending on the flavor. I find it pretty different from the mainstream, but the taste of the artificial sweeteners DO show, hence the mark-down. You can actually usually get 2 of the 3 flavors over at Vons in Santa Barbara and Goleta (Turnpike, and Fairview respectively) Rating: 10 nathan Rating: 10 - r u kiddin' me? Fresca serves the higher purposes for which soda was intended.
