I've had this flavor/these flavors, especially in Japan where burdock root flavored things are more common and I'm down with it but I agree with you that a lot of people likely wouldn't be.

Truly the heart of America. Prepare to have your soda carbonated & LIBERATED. I'll take a quick look online...
Yeah I can get a hold of it but it isn't cheap. I'll keep an eye out at the grocery store but I'm pretty certain I haven't seen it before. Says it's sold across the country so it can't be too hard to find. A single bottle is $4.75 on eBay w/ free shipping so I'll be going full Papa Roach and making that my Last Resort.

Since it is on the topic, recently tried the new Dr Pepper which is regular DP with cream soda in it. At first. I was not sure what to think but I tried two different cans and didn't finish either. I do not recomend it. The regular version is fine as is.

Soda drinks:

Australian based Bundaberg brands:
1. Ginger Beer
2. Lemon Lime Bitters
3. Peachees

USA based:
Dr. Pepper
Root Beer

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about these photos I took nearly a month ago:





Actually, I was planning to kick my soda drinking entirely. For about a week I've only drunk water. I just wanted to let that habit die with some style. (After all, American soda isn't something you can afford regularly here.) Obviously I never gave a verdict, so...

Fanta Apple: I got a lot of cans of this. Normally drinks do get boring after a while but this had been consistently refreshing throughout. It's a great drink and no doubt amongst the best Fanta.

Coca-Cola Cherry & Vanilla: This stuff was otherworldly. I don't know how they did it. 10/10 drink for sure. You can almost single out the taste to cherry or vanilla.

Crush Grape Raisin: I didn't realise this was going to be raisin at the time of purchase, but I didn't think much of that fact when I received the drinks. Upon tasting it though... nah, wouldn't buy again. I suppose they got the raisin part spot-on because the taste is too strong and bitter for my liking.

Duff Energy Drink: This totally did not seem like an energy drink. In my experience energy drinks all have this particular tang to them. It did have an artificial aftertaste but this just tastes like really good orange soda to me. Unexpected but certainly pleasing.

Dr Pepper Energy: My memory of the drinks is pretty clear... except for this. I kinda remember it but I think it just tasted slightly different to normal Dr Pepper, so nothing unique about it. What's the worst that could happen, huh? Disappointment.

Monster Hydro: Almost forgot to mention this. I think it was watermelon. I know it's a sports drink or whatnot but it didn't taste all that different to plain water. What's the point really?

That coffee has just been sitting there. Free sample and I hate coffee.

Wait, Coca-Cola Cherry & Vanilla is a thing??

I have only ever seen it with just vanilla. I am not a big fan of cherry anything but I would be interested in trying it. Is this new or something? I have not seen it in any stores around here. Not once this year or last year since I always look for season drinks if this one is indeed seasonal.

My husband has informed me that he started seeing it in the stores. I guess I just overlooked it? I am going to have to get some this week and try it out. I have never seen it before though, I swear! So maybe it is new to my area as of this year. I know it is harder to find vanilla coke outside of the holiday season. They tend to make way more now than they do in the Spring or Summer.
