I select an assortment of similar sodas, have someone pour them for me and, without knowing which is which and without tasting them immediately beforehand, I taste them and try to guess which is which. Inevitably, I miss the mark. For this episode, I am tasting a selection of peppers. The pepper soda genre, […]

Why Do I Spit the Sodas That I Taste? (Soda Tasting #14)

Cheerwine Review (Soda Tasting #9)

Cheerwine Review (Soda Tasting #9)
