A challenge to the Escapists

[Godavari]

The thread title makes this seem really serious, I know. But it isn't, really. I do have a challenge, but it's fairly simple, and you can do it right here from the comfort of this window.

I hereby challenge the Escapists to describe the taste of any soda to someone who hasn't tried it before.

This was inspired by Furburt's thread about Sprite vs. 7up. I got to thinking about the tastes of various carbonated beverages, and realized that I didn't really have a way to describe them. Especially the more exotic like Mountain Dew.

So, can you accurately depict, in words, the taste of your chosen soda?

Sounds good. I need to find a new pop (as I call it, not soda) to try. Any suggestions for someone in Toronto?

Orange Soda tastes like sugar, citric acid, and particulates of organic matter.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Dr Pepper combines the flavour of marzipan and cherries to form a refreshing carbonated drink...

I've often had trouble describing the taste of nearly all brown sodas except for root beer which tatses like sasafrass. Thats a fun word.

I think coke tastes like crap, I guess its carmelly (word?) in that fake sugar sort of way.

This is a really challenging task IMO.

Coke: tastes like water, sugar, and a sh** load of chemicals.

Seeing as I have one right now:
Dr.Pepper seems to actually be tasteless, but it does tingle going down.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Some cheap lemonades taste more like washing up liquid than lemon...

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Ramune tastes of carbonation with a lot of artifical flavoring and acids and such
...
haven't had one in a long while, need to get one some time.

Jarritos Piña flavored soda tastes like pineapple juice without either the pineapple particulates or abrasive acidity mixed with a bubbling fizziness that produces quite the positive experiences for all lovers of pineapple and soda. The Best of Both Worlds, you might even say.

 

[darkless]

Sprite zero: tastes like the smell of bleach.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Coke. Tastes like Pepsi.

If you want to know what Red Bull tastes like, imagine a boot, kicking a human stomach, forever.

You have very effectively summed up Dr. Pepper there, and boy, do I love it!

Coke Zero tastes like carbonated water.

You do know that Coca-Cola was formulated to make you forget its taste, right?

Orange soda is
Like a party in your mouth,
Except with oranges.

 

[Hollock]

Mellow yellow tastes like sunshine and rainbows.

Moxie tastes like piss and vinegar.

 

[Noamuth]

Coke tastes sort of spicy, carbonated and almost syrupy. It's a very spiky, sharp flavour.

Mountain Dew.. Reminds me of a cross between lemons and apples, again with that syrupy feeling. Tastes very artificial (obviously), like it shouldn't exist. But it does. And it's yummy.

And I've sounded like enough of a prat today, I think. >.<

Ginger ale tastes like ginger (i guess) but it just appears to be carbonated water with sugar

 

[NeoAC]

Coke tastes like rum. Especially after I pour rum into it.
