O.N.E. Amazon Acai is sweet, clean, and has a very slight tang to it, probably the Acerola. Honestly, I am fairly pleased. The taste is somewhat exotic due to the Acai, but it keeps a sweet flavor and is an enjoyable, fruity drink. The cane juice and Acerola are big positives and make this a solid drink.

Zola Superfood Smoothie is one of the better smoothies by Zola. For a "green" health drink, it was surprising how sweet it was, as many drinks with greens can be more vegetable-like and thicker. This was much more drinkable.

We're happy to report that once again Jones Tofurky & Gravy Soda is a disgusting addition to your Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions. It just wouldn't be the same without that "liquid turkey refreshment"! Thanks to Jones Soda for bringing back an old favorite with an interesting vegan twist. Where else are you going to drink a soda with 300 mg of salt?

Sunkist Naturals Golden Mango is a good drink, and I would recommend it to those who like juice smoothies. It has a clean, but flavorful taste, avoiding the acidity that some drinks offer. The freshness, nutrition, and taste combine to make this a strong entry in the smoothie market.

We're fans of the Jones Zilch rollout of sugar-free, caffeine-free, and calorie-free drinks, even though we weren't completely sold on all 3 flavors. The branding does a nice job of making diet something "cool", it still has that eccentric Jones feel, and there are some unique tastes that aren't currently part of the regular Jones lineup. Still, there is room for improvement in some of the flavors, namely Vanilla Bean. Loved the idea of a non-mainstream flavor, but execution left something to be desired. Here's looking ahead to the next Zilch experience!

Zola Acai Daily Wellness Shot is VERY purple… and has a potable taste, which, for a health supplement is all that is really needed in that realm. While the look of the drink may seem negative, the taste isn't bad! You will have to decide if the cost and health benefits are worthwhile for your individual needs.

Over the past couple years — see 2005, 2006, 2007, & 2008 — Jones Soda has deployed a variety of limited edition soft drink flavors around Halloween, some in bottles and others in cans. 2009 is no exception, except that Jones Soda went with a bunch of reruns this year, showcasing 3 bottled drinks and 4 familiar cans.

While not a very strong flavor, Jones Soda Lime (or Limon, if you prefer) is a refreshing break from the ho-hum flavors typically associated with soft drinks. The clean lime flavor is subtle, but tasty, with just enough citrus feel to liven your step.

Guest reviewer George Tsakiridis notes, "the Pomegranate flavor contains a slightly sweet finish that may take a bit of getting used to." Sweetened with cane sugar, this light drink has a "flowery" taste and is not overly powerful, but still a nice niche experience.

Elations Raspberry White Grape and Elations Cranberry Apple are liquid versions of the nutritional supplements glucosamine, chondroitin, Vitamin C and calcium, designed to promote joint health. However, we were not a fan of either flavor or the pricepoint.
