Double Cola

I needed some caffeine yesterday, so I grabbed this:

Brand: Double Cola.

Origin: Chattanooga, TN.

Purchase Place: Frattallones Ace Hardware, St. Paul, MN.

Sweetener: Invert Sugar.

Review: This was generically OK. It's a decent soda with a slight fruity/berry taste. It has a nice bite. It's a good take on cola, but nothing amazing. I'll give it a score just above average.

Score: 6.5 out of 10.

New Stash of Sodas!

Easter is this weekend, which means Lent will be over, which means I will be able to drink soda again! In celebration for this glorious day, I headed to Frattallone's Ace Hardware on Grand Ave in St. Paul earlier today to stock up on soda. But I encountered some bad news! They had NO root beer left on their shelves!!

Lots of empty spots where root beer once was.
(And technically, there's 1 diet root beer left on the 2nd shelf next to the blue stuff.)

This marks the first time a "stock up" of soda didn't include a root beer. Depressing. Here's what I brought home:

From left-to-right:

- Jones Cream Soda
- AJ Stephans Raspberry Lime Rickey
- Cicero Beverage Co. Chicago Style Cherry
- Faygo Redpop
- Saranac Black Cherry Cream
- AJ Stephans Black Cherry
- Jones Soda Zero Calorie Black Cherry
- NuGrape Grape
- Double Cola
- Cicero Beverage Co. Chicago Style Orange Cream

Check back early next week as I start to go nuts on this stash.
