Virgil's Black Cherry Soda

 Virgil's Black Cherry Soda showed up at my local discount market and sat in my refrigerator for way too long before I took it out and had it with vodka. This is why people say I'm an alcoholic. 

This is a premium real cane sugar soda with a smooth flavor and no bad after taste. It tastes a lot like real cherry. 

It when well with vodka and would be the kind of thing that you should drink slow and saver. This is the good stuff so don't guzzle it down.  

Subway Sandwiches Sugar Cookie

Ah, the sugar cookie, and me with no coffee. Subway has a nice and soft sugar cookie that you don't need coffee to eat. Defeats the purpose if you ask me and why would anyone fight a purpose in the first place?

Kellogg's Eggo Thick & Fluffy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Waffles

Kellogg's Eggo Thick & Fluffy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Waffles have a long name that makes me want to punch something. Good thing these taste so good. 

These are so good you don't need syrup but they run 160 Calories each waffle so eat accordingly. Let's get carb wasted!

Berry Plastics Company Sugar

Berry Plastics Company Sugar? Plastics Company? Well, I guess that's because they make a bag that will hold the sugar for a long time.

In any case, this is the sugar that came in my EverSafe Meal Kit and the same sugar that should come in a US military M.R.E.. I'm happy that these came in two packets so that you can decide how much sugar you want in your coffee.

Me, being a fat pig, I use both packets and it's still not sweet enough for me.

Sioux City Prickly Pear

This was a novelty, but Prickly Pear tastes like almost nothing and only its skin is red. So this kind of pomegranate raspberry soda is not very prickly pear.

The novelty of this makes it worth trying but I wouldn't keep buying it because it just isn't what I run for in soda. Still, good job that the red color isn't bug juice like it would be anywhere else.

Pepsi Cola from Mexico

I think that Pepsi needs the same quality control Coca-Cola has over their production facilities. This wasn't as good as American Pepsi. It had a notably bitter flavor that I have never detected in our native soda.

I'm going to have to advise you to stick to the local deal with this one, because the Mexican Pepsi is more expensive. 

Pepsi Cola (American)

I’m told most cola brands died out in the great cola war which was something my old man mentioned from time to time. The two primary combatants were Coke and Pepsi. How Coke came out on top I couldn’t tell you. Pepsi is the smoother and sweeter of the two colas and has always been my preference.

This is not to mention that it’s an artificial chemical stew that no person in their right mind should ever put in their body. Then, the world we live in went mad long ago, and we need to be mad as a hatter to survive.

You can still get Pepsi with good old sugar if you drink Pepsi Throw Back or Pepsi bottled in Mexico. This is marginally better for you than Pepsi’s American, made with corn syrup, counterpart. 

To put it in a nut shell: better than Coke, sill bad for you, enjoy in moderation.

Coca Cola (American)

It’s said that before Coca Cola Santa Claus was a gaunt and brooding figure. Then Coke came along, and he turned into a jolly fat man.

Given how Coke made me into a fat man I think it’s safe to say this is a reasonable representation of the product.  Further, American Coke is harder on your liver because of the use of high fructose corn syrup.

This addictive death juice will never tell your body that you’re done, because fructose almost never comes about in nature without sucrose. We humans have evolved to key off sucrose to tell us to stop eating.

I’d say ‘drink water’ but then drinking water is often dangerous. Drink clean water whenever you can, and stay clear of Coke and other soft drinks most of the time.

Coke is the standard for which all soda pop can be judged, and my judgment is to enjoy in moderation else you look like me. I, by the way, look like Santa.

Now, I need to get me some Ho, ho, ho’s.
