MiO is a "liquid water enhancer" from Kraft. It's also a great way to get bad tasting water at a high pricepoint. Was the marketplace really saying, "boy, I wish my water could somewhat taste like this flavor, but not quite?" I don't think so.

7Up Pound Cake is exactly what it sounds like; a baked good with the lemon-lime taste of 7Up. While the smell really does have a faint "7Upiness," the flavor is more like burnt Sierra Mist, with a heavy dose of fake. If you like false citrus cakes, then this is for you. Otherwise, move on!

Adina Holistics Pomegranate Acai with Yumberry has a very clean finish, attributed to a strong fruity taste that helps mask the herbal additions. The inclusion of blueberry juice is quite noticeable, enhancing the beverage as a whole. Recommended!

Wired Energy Strawberry Lemonade is heavily carbonated, but light on flavor. The lemonade and strawberry tastes build as you consume a can, but they don't smack you in the face. It could use more!

By replacing the "fake syrupy flavor" of the original Supernova, artificially-sweetened Diet Mountain Dew Supernova is actually an improvement in flavor profiles vs. its HFCS predecessor. It offers a refreshing, yet mellow, fruity Dew. One wonders if it would cannibalize sales of Diet Code Red, however.

If you are looking to cut your calories but like the flavor of Mountain Dew Voltage, this citrus berry version of Dew is worth picking up. It's a welcome addition to a Diet Dew line that we expect to see growth from in the coming years based on Pepsi's sales numbers.

Green River is the standard which lime beverages are compared. It's historical, very green, and offers a unique flavor. Track down a bottle to relive a trip to the local soda fountain this St. Patrick's Day!

Jones Soda WhoopAss Grapple Energy Drink starts with a great sour apple flavor that transitions to a sweet taste profile. We like it considerably more than the flagship WhoopAss and highly recommend it for those liking energy drinks with distinctive flavor.
