Great...if you like APPLE JUICE! lol.
When I stumbled across these on amazon, I was super excited. Once I saw the almost uniformly positive reviews, I got even more excited. This product gave every indication that I would really like it. I expected to like it. I mean, there's hardly a single person that bought this case of sparking juice that wasn't just thrilled with it.
Well, let me tell you, I am SUPER disappointed. I think the people drinking this just don't know what they're doing, or have never had quality beverages before. These "juices" are **ALL** apple juice. It smells like apple juice, it looks like apple juice, it TASTES like apple juice. Yeah, sure, maybe there's a splash of grape in the grape one. Maybe there's a splash of orange in the orange one. But really, they taste exactly like grape- or orange- or lemon-flavored apple juice.
And no surprise, the ingredients list reveals---guess what? They're mostly apple juice. You see, folks, when you mix juice with soda water, and you still want it to be acceptably sweet and not add sugar? There's only one juice sweet enough for that, especially if you want to keep the price down: Apple.
I was hoping it wouldn't be THIS much apple. I was expecting that the orange would be a somewhat apple-tinged orange...not a somewhat orange-tinged apple. And so on for the other flavors.
So yeah, I was very disappointed. If you're expecting **ANYTHING** even REMOTELY like Izze soda, for example, then to say you are going to be disappointed is the understatement of the week.
Save your money. At $1/can, I think I overpaid by just about half. There are any number of other products in this price range that are vastly superior to this. I can't imagine what all of the folks so excited about this beverage in the other reviews were tasting that I wasn't tasting.
It's. Apple. Juice. with bubbles.
