Drinking Sprite Green is like experiencing a gruesome amusement park ride of flavor doom! The aftertaste is the culprit, sneaking up on you with a non-food flavor, almost like you accidentally swallowed hair spray. Given that this drink has a stevia-powered aftertaste, maybe I wasn't expecting exactly what my mouth was saying… which was pretty much, "what did you just do to me?"

Honest Ade Limeade could be used as a thirst quencher on a hot day or a refreshing boost while playing sports. The flavor is really not the main focus here, however. It's a strong drink, but we'd like to see a bit more sweetness in this drink.

Bubble Up is one of the best lemon-lime beverages I've ever had. Amazing clean flavor thanks to the inclusion of lemon and lime oils, dry aftertaste powered by the use of cane sugar, and packed with a nice bit of bite, this drink puts to shame other brands it predates such as 7Up, Sprite, and Sierra Mist.
