I have this in class with me right now:
Brand: Fireman's Brew Cream Soda
Origin: Inyokern, CA.
Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.
Sweetener: Cane Sugar.
Review: This was just OK. The cream had a bit of a bite that I didn't care for. Not bad, but nothing fancy.
Score: 6 out of 10.

Dead World Royal Rotter Soda
I'm grading projects right now, and I just cracked into this:
Brand: Dead World Royal Rotter (Black Cherry) Soda
Origin: Detroit, MI.
Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.
Sweetener: Cane Sugar.
Review: This was pretty good from the start. Surprisingly good. The black cherry flavor was deep and smooth. This went down fast. No big complaints about this - it was good!
Score: 9 out of 10.

Soda Jerk Joke
Blue Sun Soda recently posted this on Instagram:
If you're younger than me, you might not get the joke. :)

Fitz's Strawberry Pop
I've had pretty good reactions to Fitz's Pop, and it was time to try another one in my classroom yesterday:
Brand: Fitz's Strawberry Pop.
Origin: St. Louis, MO.
Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.
Sweetener: Cane Sugar.
Review: The smell was unmistakeable when I popped the top, and the taste backed it up: it tasted like like my mother-in-law's strawberry pie. So that means it was very sweet, and almost tasted like rich strawberry Jell-O (which is used as the "binder" in her pie). It was sugary and pretty good. I MIGHT have actually been TOO sugary (which I RARELY say), but it was quite enjoyable. This final score might artificially be 1 point high because it reminds me of that great pie...
Score: 7 out of 10.

Oak Creek Blonde Barrel Aged Root Beer
I've been excited to try this, but it's been sitting in my fridge for 2 weeks. I finally opened it today:
Brand: Oak Creek Blonde Barrel Aged Root Beer.
Origin: Redding, California.
Purchase Place: "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store," Jordan, MN.
Sweetener: "25% brown sugar, 75% real sugar."
Review: This starts out tasting like a "blonde" root beer: it's a little weak at first. Almost like a cream soda (and I'm not just saying that based on the color). But it ends a bit more like a root beer with a fuller, more molasses flavor. It's very creamy, smooth, and totally unique. Has a bit of a funny taste when going down, but still a decent soda.
Score: 6.5 out of 10.
