Saranac Shirley Temple - 4

Saranac Shirley Temple - 4 thumbs up.

Finally a soda that tastes like it should!  It has a powerful cherry taste.  If you like Shirley Temples, put this on ice and enjoy.  I am not such a fan as it has a flavor that tastes a bit too synthetic.

Java Pop Hazelnut - 4

Java Pop Hazelnut - 4

You can definitely taste the hazelnut over the coffee, but mostly because the coffee flavoring was too weak.  The sweetness of this soda is incredibly overpowering. 

Spring Mango Nectar – 4

Spring Mango Nectar – 4

Sour but not bad.  I'm not a big fan of mango and when I read "nectar" I got pessimistic.  Still, it could have been a lot worse.  Not really a soda, but fun enough.

VE Wong Winter Melon Drink - 4

VE Wong Winter Melon Drink - 4 thumbs up

Can this really be categorized as a soda?  I'm not sure.  It's in a nice can and all but it wasn't carbonated.  It was okay, surprisingly.  Not as bad as I thought it would be.  A decent mild melon taste.

Ramune Pineapple - 4

Ramune Pineapple - 4 thumbs up

Maybe my hopes were too high when I saw this new flavor from the good people at Ramune.  I've been happy with the others.  This had the flavor of pineapple but it was just okay.  Otherwise it was just incredibly acidic.  Go with the original flavor.

Avery Sarsaparilla - 4

Avery Sarsaparilla - 4 thumbs up

A nice clear color but a weak flavor.  What flavor there was in there was okay, though.  Just not strong enough for what I prefer in a root beer.

Snooki Wild Cherry - 4

Snooki Wild Cherry - 4 thumbs up

I'm doing my best to ignore the innuendo.  The taste is a strong cherry taste, but that's not necessarily a good thing.  It's overpowering.  I don't recommend trying it except for the novelty value.
Thank you to the Clarks for picking this up!

Waialua Mango - 4

Waialua Mango - 4 thumbs up

Not as bad as lilikoi.  That said, it doesn't taste that great.  The flavor is a bit weak.

Martian Plum - 4

Martian Plum - 4 thumbs up
This soda is quite sugary and tangy.  It claims to be plum-flavored, which you don't see too often.  Still, the flavor wasn't great.
Thank you to the Clarks for picking this up!

Radioactive Mulberry - 4

Radioactive Mulberry - 4 thumbs up
This soda was very sugary with a hint of medicine.  Other than that it lacked personality outside of the name and artwork.  Fun for a novelty soda but not a great flavor.
Thank you to the Clarks for picking these up!

Seal Ya Later - 4

Seal Ya Later - 4 thumbs up
Just when you thought the novelty dictator sodas were complete, here comes Bin Laden.  In an almost-clever pun on Seal Team Six, this soda highlights the demise of Bin Laden.  Unfortunately it doesn't say what flavor of soda it is.  Even having tasted and rated hundreds of sodas on this site, I could not tell you what they were going for with the flavoring other than a quick gag.  Maybe it's rootbeer?  Cute, but try a different soda if you're going for flavor.
Thank you to the Clarks for all of these recent sodas!

Martian Poop Pink - 4

Martian Poop Pink - 4 thumbs up

Martian Poop Pink claims to be marionberry flavored.  Really, I get the sense that they just jammed in whatever pink flavoring they could to make the novelty soda.  I love marionberry pie and this tastes nothing like it.  In fact it had very little flavor strength at all.  It is a fun color and soda, though.
Again, thank you to the Clarks for picking these up for me!

Taylor's Tonics Cranberry Dream - 4

Creative, but it tastes like they ruined an otherwise good cream soda with cranberry flavoring.

Kimbo Thai Tea Drink - 4

This looks like a standard Thai tea drink. It's sweet, milky and not too bad considering that it's not really a soda. Still, it was fun.

Avery's Dog Drool - 4

A great label and name on this soda but the taste did not match up. It also claimed to be orange-lemon in flavor but I'm not sure that was accurate either. It was fruity and just okay in flavor.

Avery's Root Beer - 4

One of Avery's 35 varieties. This rootbeer falls a little short in flavor but is otherwise not a bad soda.

Chinese Coke - 4 Thumbs up

Coke from China is about the same flavor but a little more mild. It reminded me of Starbucks coffee in China. The same, but milder. What it does have that ours does not is a hot anime drawing on the side and a pull tab.
4 Thumbs up due to the flavor but a fun time!

Trader Joes Vintage Orange Cream - 4 thumbs up

Trader Joes Vintage Orange Cream - 4 thumbs up
Just an okay soda, nothing special. I wanted a sip but that was it.
Again, I expect more from TJs .

Olde Brooklyn Red Hook Raspberry - 4 thumbs up

Olde Brooklyn Red Hook Raspberry - 4 thumbs up
It simply tastes "fake."
Red dye and HFCS gives it a great color but terrible taste.
Don't bother with this one.

Bundaberg Root Beer - 4

Bundaberg Root Beer: An odd mix of plain root beer and sarsaparilla. Not my style, but neither is Vegemite. Only 4 thumbs up.
