This tastes a lot like an orange creamsicle but with a hint of that long lasting Splenda sweetness. You can refer to my non-diet review and basically append "tastes a little diet" to it. It's one of the better diet drinks I've had as it's not uber-sweet and doesn't have that tooth-curdling linger. Speaking of linger, this drink stays with you. I took a sip probably about two or three minutes ago and I can still kind of taste it. If you like that, that's great. I personally don't really like a lingering drink.

I don't know of many drinks that have such a true orange creamsicle taste so if you are feeling nostalgic or just like orange cream try this. Unfortunately, I don't know where to get Romano's stuff. On their site you can get a list of cities and states their products are sold in.

This is some of the best lemonade I have ever had. I built a crib, changing table, and a dresser and didn't drink anything. I went to my fridge, opened it, and saw that little bottle sitting there and I knew, now was the time. I made the right choice. This is what lemonade should taste like. It's got just the right amount of sweet, bitter, lemon, sugar, and it's great.

If you ever crave lemonade at any point in the year, this is the one to get. I'm singling it out amongst the growing number of lemonades out there.

Mixed reviews galore. I'll give you all of them:

Darryl:
Coconut instantly hits my throat and I instantly think Banana Boat suntan lotion.

Mike:
Tastes like suntan lotion

Mark:

Me:
It wasn't bad. I mean, it's coconut, for real. If you like coconut, you should like this drink. If you don't, I would basically say that you should get a restraining order against it. It captures a real coconut pretty accurately. You get the sweet taste including the nutty aftertaste. It might sound gross, and it is, but I wish that there was chocolate syrup here so that I could mix it in and make an Almond Joy pop. I wonder if we have any...

I can't get over how smooth this is. I yet again expected it to be really harsh. I always feel like anything that has a lot of antioxidants in it is going to be super strong. I should have learned better from my last Bom Dia.
It tastes a lot like pear juice. I'm guessing that's the mangosteen. I really need to try a lot of these weird fruits in their natural form, so I can better identify the flavors. You also have to love a drink that is as sweet as this that has no added sugar. Dear Bolthouse, you have done it again. You've made drinking healthy things tasty and fun.

I was skeptical about the Vignette series of sodas, mainly because actual wine smells like death to me. It smells so bad that I can't even comprehend how bad it must taste. Most people seem to love wine, but you know what I'm not most people and I don't trust others tastes.
I cracked this open and the smell was not offensive at all. I took a little sip, and what do we have here? This is really good. I'd even say great. If my memory from 20 years ago is correct, this tastes a lot like Mystic drinks when they used to be carbonated. I'm probably totally off on that, but that's what comes to mind.
It's like the lightest white grape juice, carbonated. There's something else in there as well. I can't quite place what it is, but it's just incredible. I salute you Vignette you have created something that I will now crave, but not be able to get around my hometown.

Could this be wonderful because I was thirsty? Possibly. Could this be wonderful because I like pineapple? Possibly? Could this be wonderful because it is what it is? Probably.

I don't remember if I've had the pineapple version before but I am happy to have officially had it now because it is fantastic. It doesn't taste like a pineapple juice, it tastes like a juice that is pineapple flavored. That is not a bad thing because it's not a bad drink.

Come on now. We've reviewed like half a dozen of these and if you haven't tried one by now, what are you waiting for? We love them and you should get on the boat with us. We're friendly and will rip on your dork boyfriend and hit on you, when in actuality we couldn't care less about what you do with your cats for Easter.

On the last night of our tour, we decided to drive overnight home from Philly. It was a 6.5-hour drive and I was the only one who could drive in the car. When we stopped to get gas, I grabbed my old standby energy drink: Monster Khaos.
I think this is one of, if not the best tasting energy drinks. I attribute this to the fact that it is 50% juice. The mostly tangerine and pineapple tasting juice overrides the chemical taste as best as it can. I mean if you have to drink one of these things, you might as well grab one that has something in it that isn't completely unhealthy. It also helps that if gives you all the pep you need for an overnight drive.

A lot of people go on and on about strawberries and raspberries. Those people have it all wrong. Although those are both great fruits, the blackberry is your money berry. When they are just ripe they are a perfect food.
I pulled off the highway somewhere in South Carolina and saw a sign that said "Peach Cider." I knew I had to stop. When we entered it was a magical cider world of all varieties. This drink caught my eye, and I thought it was going to be the single greatest drink I've ever had. While it is good, it's not the best I've ever had. When you first sip it, it tastes like wonderful blackberries. Unfortunately when you swallow a harsh aftertaste sets in. I know it's a natural flavor, but I wish the sweetness would last a bit longer. If you've ever in SC and you see a place that sells this, by all means go crazy.

I've been putting off trying this diet Function that was sent to us. I really disliked the other diet Function I had. This one really wasn't that bad at all. It lacked that overly diet taste that I had expected. Instead the fruit flavor was the strongest to my taste buds. I might go as far as to say this is the most un-diety diet drink I've ever had. Go ahead, give it a try.

Well. I am impressed. Aldi has been consistently surprising me. For anyone that doesn't have one, Aldi is a low cost grocery store. This drink is the perfect example of low cost not meaning low quality. I thoroughly enjoyed this drink and look forward to having a bottle of my own (this was at my parent's house). It's not from a concentrate, there is no additional sugar added, and the only ingredients are apples and vitamin C.

The taste was smooth and it was a bit reminiscent of Hansen's Pomegranate Cream Soda. I don't know how, but it did. I thought this was a great drink, but here's the catch; if you don't buy something like this soon, they won't carry it again. They had great, all natural root beer and cream soda that Jay let me have and when I went to buy some of my own, they were out.

If you have an Aldi, I urge you to go out and get a bottle of this. It's also 25.4oz and $1.99 per bottle so it's a "you can't lose" scenario. Let me know what you think!

As cheesy as the label is, I really expected this to be intense. I mean it even had a picture of a foot that says "With a kick." That bee sure looks angry, or maybe it's sassy. Unfortunately it tastes like flat watered down ginger beer. I would describe it as if Vitamin Water made a ginger drink, but even more watered down. It does have a decent ginger burn as an aftertaste, but other than that it just tastes blah.

I really need to check out some more Guayaki flavors. This is my second one, and it's even better than the first. It's yerba mate tea with passion fruit and peach in it. Two of my favorite fruits mixed in with an "unusual" tea. Sounds like a dream to me.
I was driving home from Philadelphia when I drank this, and I was in such awe of the flavor that blasted my taste buds that I was in fear of crashing my car. Well that's an exaggeration, but it's just plain great. It has a very strong taste without being overly sweet, and that is something I look for in an iced tea.

A few years back I had a weekly DJ night at a bar here in Buffalo with my friend Bill. We got free drinks all night, but since neither of us drank, the bartender would feed us shots of wheat grass. I expected it to be gross, but I actually really enjoyed it. I was pumped to try this because it combined two things I was a big fan of. Unfortunately, it didn't really taste too much like wheat grass (well at least what I remember it tasting like). The aloe flavor and sweetness of it overpowered the wheat grass. The chunks of aloe in this were pretty huge too. Some of them were the size of crushed grapes. It's not the best Aloe juice I've ever had, but it was still a decent drink.

I really like that a lot of companies are starting to bring back glass bottles for their pop. I hope it's not a limited time sort of thing. Pop tastes better in glass than in cans or plastic. It's a scientific fact. The fine folks at NASA proved it back in the 70's. I think it was even mentioned in the Watergate files.
This tastes like a better version of the A&W you're used to. It's not as syrupy and it doesn't taste too cheap. I don't think I would ever buy a "normal" A&W if I saw it in a store, but it would be likely for me to pick another one of these up.

Hmm...I can't place it. It's orange pop. Let it be known. I don't know why, but I appreciate, there are two different oranges in this drink. Why not put a tangerine in there? Round it out. Burps taste like oranges and they are long lasting. Honestly, the burps might be better than the drink. Is that bad? If you only enjoy one aspect of a drink does that make it a good drink? It might. It is not a bad flavor and if anyone adores orange pop, give this a whirl.

In Buffalo, it's unacceptable, but I know you can get it anywhere elsewhere, like Target, for example of ease of access.

I really want to get one of those machines that let you carbonate anything. How great would that be? I would carbonate the dumbest stuff, just because I could. Carbonated chocolate milk? Sure it would be gross, but I'd still do it.
This tastes like it was home carbonated, and I mean that in a good way. I know it's just some sort of syrup in carbonated water, but it's great. I feel like I'm drinking it in a little cafe somewhere in Italy.
Now bring on the carbonated soup.

I like this company. With the exception of the sweet tea, which, in my opinion, was just something they did for fun, everything I've had from Xing is very good. Plus, it's an all-natural tea and it's got great flavor options. The green tea always has a nice bitterness that isn't lost in whatever flavor I've tried. This raspberry is no exception. It has a raspberry nose to it and to the tongue, you get raspberry and then a bitter, green tea aftertaste.

I don't know why it's not more available. I found it at a local "half way between corner store and bodega" place. They didn't have a lot of flavors, but beggars can't be choosers, and for that reason, I like this tea. I would easily say that it's better than Arizona Raspberry.

As Jay mentioned earlier in his Arizona Yumberry review, we used to drink Arizona all the darn time. Like every day, all the time, for years. Once we started not actively drinking things with HFCS in them, we just stopped, cold turkey.

This is light, and has a bit of that Splenda bite, as that is what is used to make it "lite" but you know what? It's not terrible. I think that the lemon zing masks the artificial sweetener taste so it's acceptable to everyone's palate.

This is a good diet alternative. Sweet Leaf has a non-diet, no muss, no fuss, Half and Half that you should try if you're not looking for a diet drink with artificial sweeteners, but this drink isn't bad at all. Tell your fat uncle Harry to try this instead of constantly drinking delicious, triple thick, chocolate milkshakes.

I don't really do chai. I don't do coffee. This should not have been something that I bought. That's what I thought before I tried it. Hey, sometimes when you see things that look interesting, you have to just suck it up and try something new.

Since I don't drink chai, I'm not too familiar with how it is supposed to taste or smell. I can tell you that because of this, I think that it smells a bit like bubble gum. Strange? I know. It's not a turn off. It's just not what one would think when reading the flavors. It might be mocha and light, light coffee together with the milk. Whatever. To me, if there were such thing as mocha bubble gum, this would be the smell.

Now on to the taste portion of this competition. It tastes good. It's creamy and doesn't have too much coffee. It's more of an undertone than a prominent flavor. The mocha covers that up nicely. I don't get a lot of tea, if I get any at all.

This company also makes the same drink in a vanilla, as opposed to the mocha that I'm doing now. I bet it's nice, but for my money if I have to get a spiced tea, I'd stick with Thai tea.

Nantucket Nectars sure knows how to make a quality juice. After drinking so much garbage that's out there it's nice to find a juice that actually tastes like the fruit it's named after. It tastes like someone dumped some mango puree into a glass of orange juice.
It's the way that I want my morning juice to taste.
