I opened this tonight as we worked on wrapping presents:
Brand: Buddy's Orange Soda.
Origin: New Ulm, MN.
Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.
Sweetener: Sugar.
Review: This was just OK. It had a little sharpness to it that made it taste less like a super sweet orange soda, and more like a "clementine" soda. (And yes, clementines are sweeter than oranges, but they are NOT sweeter than your typical orange soda.) This wasn't bad, but it just had that sharpness that I didn't totally care for. My boys thought it was fine, but they like any sugar they can get their hands on. I'll rank it middle-of-the-road average.
Score: 5 out of 10.
A very Historic Soda in Minnesota!
ReplyDeleteIt was started during prohibition in order to keep the brewery workers at Shells employed.
Ha! That's awesome! I didn't know that!
