Bernie Memes at Cold Front and Blue Sun Soda
In the last few days, my Facebook feed has been full of Bernie Sanders memes. And Cold Front (coffee, tea, ice cream, and homemade sodas) and Blue Sun Soda Shop (candy and sodas) have gotten in on the fun. These were their posts from yesterday on their Facebook pages:

Yacht Club Hillary's Liberal Limeade
Here's the 2nd part of my "Donald vs Hillary" drink off:
(In case you missed it, here's part 1 from Tuesday. I tried both sodas at the same time to compare them head-to-head.)
Brand: Yacht Club Hillary's Liberal Limeade.
Origin: Centredale, RI.
Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.
Sweetener: Pure Cane Sugar.
Review: Donald's was a bit sharper, but Hillary's was sweeter. The limeade flavor had a refreshing kick. It was pretty good, but I couldn't get over just HOW unnaturally neon it was. It tasted like a fun summer drink. My wife and 2 boys both thought Hillary was better (my oldest son noting that it was sweeter), but I HONESTLY was pretty split. Donald maybe have better "adult" flavor, and Hillary was a "sweeter" sipper. I'm not trying to ride the political fence here, but I'm giving them the exact same score.
Score: 6.5 out of 10.

Yacht Club Donald's Populist Punch
I've had these bottles for a while (not 4 years - I swear), and it was time to test them out.
Notice it says "Soda Pop Poll" at the bottom of the bottles. They sold 50,000 bottles to see if they could predict the election results, and (after the election results were in) they noted that "Donald's Populist Punch" sold just a bit more than "Hillary's Liberal Limeade" - 22,224 vs 21,360. I thought I'd try them side-by-side. So here's my first review, with the follow up review coming later this week.
Brand: Yacht Club Donald's Populist Punch.
Origin: Centredale, RI.
Purchase Place: Blue Sun Soda, Spring Lake Park, MN.
Sweetener: Pure Cane Sugar.
Review: The first sip was a bit sharp. It tasted like a cherry fruit punch. It wasn't bad, I just expected it to be a bit smoother for some reason. Quite drinkable, but nothing special, so I'll rank it just above average.
