it’s ginger and sparkling water. i can’t really rank it as a soda, but it is interesting and good. it’s very light and enjoyable, not a painful ginger experience. it really stands out from most ginger drinks.

empire brand
ginger ale

date: jan 2025
source: bottle (glass)
origin: rhode island
color: white
flavor: ginger ale


much better than empires other offering. it’s lighter and has a complex flavor beyond ginger. i can’t quite place it… maybe apple juice? it reminds me more of champagne than any soda i’ve ever had. a great soda to experience on its own, not great as an accompaniment to a meal. the flavors are too subtle.

too sweet. i don’t have a lot to say about this with comparison to the yacht club, it’s a similar flavor profile. maybe even sweeter. it’s also flat. like a flat rc.

strong fruity notes with a short taste. the aftertaste is intensely sweet, though the nose on the drink is not. it's quite pleasant, though too sweet. the flavor is just so SUBTLE and it's getting buried by the sweetness. BRING THAT PUPPY OUT MANNNNN. i'm drinking it more and liking it less.

it tastes weirdly sour and almost rotten. it's too sweet and really artificial, though i can detect it's supposed to be yogurt, it tastes more like yogurt. not good.

date: nov 2024

origin: kentucky

like a sweeter rc with a vanilla twist, like a cream soda. quite good. there's also a hint of root beer, like its 50/50 cola and swamp water. a little too sweet for the amount of acid.

4.6
monster brand
ultra strawberry dreams

date: oct 2024
source: can
origin: us of a
color: yellow
flavor: strawberry


tastes like twizzlers and sucralose. much better cold, the artificial sweetener is not as notable. points off for being a pale yellow and not pink, but the sour artificiality of monster works with the sucralose. reminds me of poppi's raspberry rose, but sourer, and without any of the interesting notes. its just one really loud pink note.

this drink made mx. browder-seguin feel "bad" afterwards, and has had points deducted for that fact. — Ed.

it's very bright green. like potion colored. it's pretty nutty. smells like a candle place. this is not an exaggeration. tastes like MAINLINING a scented candle. uncommitted to the sourness of an apple, and falls flat because of it.

this soda was produced for the beetlejuice movie and appears to be subtitled "beetlejuice beetlejuice" — Ed.

smells tropical almost. theres a floral hint to the scent, like elderflower but artificial. tastes like the most artificial rose you’ll ever have. that is a rose FLAVORED soda. not bad though just really strange. also hint of caramel taste at the end. points for trying. there are no “natural flavors” on the label, only “artificial flavors”

not a soda, a sparkling water. now that that's put of the way, beautiful packaging. seriously stupendous. cucumber is a weird flavor for a drink. the mint in it comes through really nice, and i think a mint grape lemonade would be wonderful (those are the other three ingredients). the cucumbers kinda weird.
