Second Opinion Soda

This was a weird bottle:

Second Opinion Soda


Brand: Second Opinion Soda.

Origin: Gardena, CA.

Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.

Sweetener: Cane Sugar.

Review: The tagline on the front of the bottle is "we do it right the second time." And there's a big speech bubble coming out of the duck that says "It is hereby recommended that for effective quenching of your thirst along with opportunity for refreshment and an invigorating experience that you consume this beverage immediately if not sooner; you may experience a prehistoric euphoria reminiscent of a time when delicious beverages in glass bottles were not yet extinct." It seems to be a bit snobbish as if glass bottle sodas don't exist and it wasn't in a soda shop surrounded by thousands of other glass bottles. It turned me off right away. 

But how did it taste? Well, after a sip, I determined it to be some sort of cola (because that wasn't listed anywhere on the bottle). It's flavor seemed a bit watered down, but it had a nice fruity kick to it - the way many decent colas taste. It's nothing special, but a decent (oddly bottled) cola.

Score: 7 out of 10.

  1. We just picked this up at the Richflield Blue Sun Soda and I had to scour the internet for anyone else who had posted about it. It definitely should not have been in the root beer section (where we got it). I thought it tasted like a cherry cola with a little too much cherry flavoring.
