It started as a joke and it’s still going.
Some people collect stamps. I collect beverages that look like they were designed on a dare. Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I try drinks so odd they make your fridge quietly judge you. Honest reviews, questionable decisions, and the occasional existential crisis included.
Still Not Joining the Cawston Fan Club
After the Cawston Watermelon fiasco, I decided to give it another go and try a different flavour. Today, I’m trying Ginger Beer blended with Crisp Apples. Reading the name, you know you’re expecting something fancy. And the taste? It’s definitely not what you’d expect...
Watermelon: Now With the Bits You Throw Away
What’s your first thought when you see a watermelon real-pressed drink? That it will be nice and sweet? That it will taste of watermelon? That was my thinking. But Cawston Press has gone one step further. You know when you eat watermelon and bite a bit too far, into...
A Blast Worth Repeating
A Blast Worth Repeating Mountain Dew Baja Blast is such a cool drink. First, you get a tropical fruit flavour, which then changes into a nice lime taste. And that one stays with you for a while. It's definitely one of the drinks that will go on my "Buy It Again"...
Where’s the Chill?
Where's the Chill? Sprite Chill Lime & Cherry is a bit disappointing. Although, I'm not really sure what I was expecting. Maybe something that would give me that "cooling" effect. Instead, you're getting a rather standard drink that's more cherry than lime. It's...
It’s Dirty and I Like It
It's Dirty and I Like It Dirty Mountain Dew is definitely worth trying. I can't quite pinpoint all the flavours. I can taste the cream soda, but there's something else in there as well. Nevertheless, that mystery flavour makes for a great combination. I tried it...
I Think There’s a Flavour in Here Somewhere
I Think There's a Flavour in Here Somewhere Eau Yes is a simple flavoured water. I picked up these cans at a trade show I attended. The guys behind the brand were great, and we had a really nice conversation. Because of that, I had high hopes—maybe too high. At the...
Mushroom Coffee? Hear Me Out
Mushroom Coffee? Hear Me Out I tried a sample of Spacegoods coffee some time ago and absolutely loved it. So when I got my hands on these cans, I was over the moon, and they didn't disappoint. Mushroom coffee is definitely something different. I'm sure lots of people...
The Refreshing Side of Mountain Dew
The Refreshing Side of Mountain Dew Mountain Dew Spark is the type of drink that pleasantly surprises you when you don't expect much. I was expecting a standard Mountain Dew, a very sweet drink without much flavour, but Spark is different. From the first sip, you can...
The Peach Wars Continue
The Peach Wars Continue There was a peach-flavoured Fanta, and here's Pepsi's answer. Peach is clearly very popular in Asia, and I can see why. I enjoyed the Fanta, and I definitely enjoyed this Pepsi. I'd even go as far as to say I liked it better. It has a really...
The Search for a Good Matcha Continues
The Search for a Good Matcha Continues I've never been a fan of matcha, and I don't think I'll become one after drinking this offering from Matcha Ninja. Yes, it smells like matcha. No, it doesn't really taste like matcha. It's sparkling, but that doesn't change the...
