The First Soda Review! (cranberry-lime chill Snow)

So this shall be the very first post of a soda review! I (Justin) am doing this one by myself just to test this blog out and what not. James, Thomas, and I will try to do as many as possible together so as to get some differing opinions on each drink.

Now this soda is called Snow, I think. It's flavor is listed as cranberry-lime chill. The description also lists it as having a blend of special mint extracts. The first you thing you notice about it is the nice subtle almost pinkish color. It boasts a nice refreshing scent as well. It pleases the senses... at least the smell and sight ones, that is.

The first thing I'd like to say about Snow is that it's flavor does not have a whole lot going on. It kind of tastes like someone strained some club soda through a towel dampened with cranberry juice and mint. I don't really pick up this lime flavor they speak of. Maybe it stayed home so as to not associate itself with this pretty much flavorless drink. I don't think the lime would help at all anyway. I will give it a small plus because it is actually sort of refreshing because of the aftertaste of mint it hits you with (which leaves pretty quickly, sadly).

The best thing you can say about Snow is that it doesn't really hit you in the face too much with sugar, carbs, or calories. It has about 88 calories, 24 g of carbs, and 24 g of sugar. It's also all-natural, for all you hippies out there.

In the end, the soda does not have enough going for it to warrant another buy. It doesn't really warrant another sip either! The flavor is fairly non-existent, as is my like of Snow cranberry-lime chill. There are much better fish in the sea than this.
