We like Shasta Tiki Punch and its unique, tangy rendition of a traditional carbonated fruit punch. It may just be a tad too sweet for our tastes, however, so it probably would be best appreciated in smaller doses.

Pop Goes the Bubble Soda is a well-executed bubble gun-flavored novelty soft drink. While the taste of gum is evident, it's not overpowering, thus letting the cane sugar-sweetened flavor shine through. Refreshing and distinctive!

Take 10 To Relax is a grape-flavored relaxation beverage in 2 oz. shot form. Featuring GABA, valerian root extract, and rose hips extract, it's designed to calm you down. However, we didn't notice much in the way of these effects while sampling.

A design review of Squirt: By de-emphasizing the citrus fruit imagery and playing up the "spray" art elements, Squirt has abandoned some of the visual equity it had built, trading it for a much weaker set of elements. Overall, the design doesn't work as hard as previous iterations, and this could cost sales.

Clean, exotic, fun! Snapple Papaya Mango Tea is quite sweet, emphasizing the tropical flavors strongly at the start, complimented by a tasty tea finish. Aside from the gag-inducing product placement with "The Amazing Race," it's quite good!
