worry about paying rent?
Because all of our taste tests are
blind (meaning the tasters have no
idea which brands they’re drinking), sometimes we’re horrified to
find we’ve ranked the major monster brands atop the list, when the
beloved artisanal products that we
buy regularly end up ranked at the
bottom. This is one of those occasions. Despite receiving markedly
negative comments, our winner
is a major brand that exhibits all
the qualities of your typical or-
ange soda (fluorescent orange, uber
sweet). But among the complaints
were also comments such as these:
“Tastes like my childhood,” and
“Too syrupy, but it’s what orange
soda is supposed to taste like.”
Supposed to taste like? Clearly, our
tongues need therapy.
We were also saddened to see
that the last-place finisher is what
we thought was one of our favorite
brands. Someone called it “butt
water,” and now we just
don’t know what to think.
