This morning when I went to get gasoline at Chevron, the pump I used had developed a leak where the hose met the handle. It wasn't bad, but there was a drop or two every two or three seconds. I went inside to wash my hands, and then on the way to tell the cashier about the leak, I spotted something new in the cold drinks aisle. Berry Clear Sprite Remix. Being a sucker for new sodas, I picked up a bottle.
At first, it was not very tasty. I don't know what my mouth was expecting, but I was a little revolted by the initial response my tastebuds had. As I took the next few sips, it grew on me a bit though. I was trying to identify what it was similar to, and I think I have figured it out.
As a former waiter, I am well aware that if you take a proper mixture of Sprite and Coke, you get a concoction that tastes very similar to Ginger Ale. This tasted as though someone had done that, except made it clear, and then added strawberry flavor. The result was not entirely awful, but it wasn't a taste I would keep going back for. Also, as time progressed drinking it made my stomach sick, and I think it was from the sickening sweetness of it overwhelming me a bit.
I'd say it is worth a try, which is way more than other recent berry-related beverages (Pepsi Blew, for example).
When are they going to make a diet version of this???? Otherwise, it's awesome!
