Assi brand sac sac grape beverage

Little 8oz can can . 65 cent for 125 cals. Says something in Korean and I see a whole bunch of grapes. Ok I think Ill buy it. I actually had it sit around for about 2 months before I got around to trying it. So I popped open the can. I was pouring it into a glass of ice when the surprising thing happens and something pops out. What happened, I think to myself. Didnt look like a roach part...

I was a little grape! I look inside the can and there are a whole bunch of little grapes. Lol. That was weird. So I go try it. Taste wise its pleasant, like one of those, carbonated grape juices. Smells like that too.The grape itself was verry squishy but it. Definitely was a nice color. How did they do that.... super preservatives?

Verdict: give it to a friend for a surprise! Lol.

Carabao energy drink

I was reading that this is a competitor to the Thai version of red bull. The carabao is a water buffalo or something, and because they are tough. The drink has some weird ingredients... like nicotinamide. Yes nicotine! Along with the regular taurine, caffeine, etc. Given the nocotine, I was slightly hesitant to drinking it, but given that Thai drivers supposedly drink several ans a day, i figured one should be ok.

On to the drink. It came out tasting more like a sweet soda. The color was a nice orange and there was no unpleasant smell. It kind of burned the esophagus so I gave it to someone else to finish. I mean, a drink shouldn't burn your esophagus right?

I think the 8.5oz (250ml) can is more then enough for a person. Smelling the can again, it is sort of mediciny, but it didn't taste that way. 150 cals for such a little bottle, no wonder it was so sweet.

Verdict:
I would try another one but I wouldn't go out of my way. I liked the taste, it was very nice, but not the burn.

Paldo Aloe Vera drink

Paldo Aloe vera drink manufactured in Korea. Small bottle, 180ml, which is about 6oz. That’s a small drink! But costs 75 cents so that is not too bad. The green bottle hides the actual color of the drink which is a hazy colorless mixture. Smells, fruity. Like someone inhaling some tropical fruit . How does it taste? But before that I have to say, there are little chunks of aloe floating around. Nice touch. The texture of the drink without the aloe chunks is heavy, meaning it is not like water, its slower to move, by a microsecond. Taste is not too sweet, pleasant, one can almost call it bland in a way. Definitely fits the aloeness. Other than the small bottle size, no complaints. only 80 calories too.

Verdict: would try again, but wouldnt go out of my way to get it
3.5 stars ***'

why no posts ?

I gained weight just from all the drinks.
I had to cut them off for a while.
they really add up, 600-800 calories a day of sweet drinks etc.

Tropical's Manzana Apple soda

This apple flavored soda was made in Ecuador. It is distributed locally by a a Brooklyn, NY distributor. At $1 for the 12 oz can, I had to get it. Manzana means apple in spanish, for those who don't know.The can is an orange color, with "Sabor hecho en Ecuador!" which means flavor made in Ecuador. At 165 cals for the can, it is a little packed with carbs.

As I opened the soda, it does smell a little like apple juice. The taste is like carbonated apple juice. Someone else mentioned it tastes like apple candy. All around, everyone agrees it's a good soda. It is an apple colored flavor.
Verdict: would try again, think carbonated apple juice.

Mexican Coca Cola

For those who live in border states Mexican coca cola may not be something extraordinary, but for the rest of us, it is something we have to go out of our way to find. The bottle was a little expensive at $1.50 for 355ml (12oz). It came in a glass bottle and there were some nice touches to it. There is a little cola bottle imprinted on the side, and the label itself is nice and raised. A good feeling.

I needed a bottle opener to get to the drink, since it wasn't a twist off. It was nice and cool having just come from out, so I was glad to get into it. The taste... Hmmm, it wasn't really fizzy, but it wasn't unfizzy. The taste was a ..hmmm almost tastes like stale cola that was actually sweeter. Weird since this is made with sugar and us coke is with corn syrup which is supposed to be sweeter. It went down very smooth and I liked it.

Verdict: will purchase again!

Super Supau isotonic drink

This Taiwanese drink is by Vitalon. First question, what is an isotonic drink. An isotonic drink is "A sports drink used to simply replace fluid and electrolytes lost during prolonged exercise" according to "http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/isotonic+drink:. Judging by the lady running on the cover that is what it is. Most sports drinks aren't that sweet so lets find out what happens.

The small was a not too pleasant fruit smell. The drink itself was a cloudy but clear mixture. The taste is like watered down tums. At first I was surprised by the lack of carbonation, but it is an isotonic drink, not a soda. Looks like a soda since it's in the can. Imagine Gatorade in a can. Weird.

Verdict: I would give it 2 stars. As a Gatorade drinker, its not something I'm unused to but I don't feel like finishing it.
2 stars **

I had other people drink it and they would give it 1 stars *. The expression on their face said that they wouldn't want more then 1 sip at all.
