Soda Pop Centre

Capt’n Eli’s Strawberry Pop

I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Capt’n Eli’s Strawberry Pop 355ml Ingredients: Water, cane sugar, natural and artificial strawberry flavours, Red 40, citric acid, and sodium benzoate. Linky link. So, it’s been a fruity three weeks, we had tangerine and peach in the previous weeks, now it’s strawberry’s turn. I think next week will have to be another root beer, but who doesn’t love a root beer? I don’t recall ever having strawberry pop before, but it’s good. It reminds me of a strawberry wine, but not alcoholic (sadly), but we can adjust that surely. It’s quite sweet, but also quite refreshing… Read More »Capt’n Eli’s Strawberry Pop

Jelly Belly Gourmet Soda: Tangerine

I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Jelly Belly Gourmet Soda: Tangerine 355ml Ingredients: Filtered carbonated water, cane sugar, citric acid, sodium benzoate, natural flavours, sodium citrate, and FD&C Yellow #6. Linky link. This one’s quite delicious. It tastes like a cross between an actual Jelly Belly and a freezie. With just a hint of sour, a bit more bubbly than the Nehi, it’s very distinct1. Though, the Nehi is the better of the two [↩]

Peach Nehi

I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Peach Nehi 354ml Ingredients: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, citric and malic acid, potassium, benzoate, potassium citrate, artificial flavour, gum acacia, and red 40. Linky link. For those unfamiliar, MASH’s Radar O’Reilly’s poison of choice was a Grape Nehi. The young gentle company clerk was not interested in the harder drinks that his colleagues chose, instead he went for Grape Nehi. I didn’t know it was a real drink, but apparently it is, and the store had the grape variety, but since I’m not a fan of grape pop, I decided to go… Read More »Peach Nehi

Thomas Kemper Root Beer

I visited a shop in Whitby called Soda Pop Centre. These are my stories. Thomas Kemper Root Beer 355ml Ingredients: carbonated water, honey, caramel colour, maltodextrin, sodium benzoate, natural flavour, gum acacia, phosphoric acid, sucralose, salt, vanilla extract, and acesulfame K. Linky link. This Portland-based pop company makes a rather delicious root beer. It’s quite sweet, from both the honey and the sucralose, but the major flavour actually comes from the vanilla. It’s rather strong. If you’re a fan of vanilla, you’l like this root beer, I think. I personally think it’s a bit too strong.
