oooo, a diet soda!! yeah, sarcasm is coming to a town near you, right about now, catch it while you can!!
let me get the good stuff out of the way first. i actually quite like the design on this and the regular root beer. for store brand soda, it is well done. a circus-like font for the name along with beige vertical stripes to increase the circus-ocity of it all. then, in the center, a tasty looking mug of what i assume is supposed to be root beer, frothy and overflowing, surrounded by a ring of hypno rays. so overall it looks like an advertisement for a side show freak or something. an unusual tact to take but hey, whatever works for you Save-A-Lot people. and like i said, i do like it much better than most store brand sodas. at least some thought and effort went into it.
onto the bad part. which is the soda itself. it is bad. not good. gross even. it tastes like i forgot to take the foil off of my sandwich for lunch and bit it anyway but got no sandwich, just foil. and carbonation. yeah, very carbonated aluminum foil, you know the stuff i am sure. so yeah, i don’t like this if you did not gather that. my mouth is not happy and my stomach even less happy. it hurts in fact.
so much for starting the 2nd 500 with a solid soda. since i did not actually write #500 when i am writing this, i sure hope that one was good.

I used to live in Indiana and shopped at save a lots and one day I decided to try the diet root beer. To my suprise it tasted great without a funky aftertaste!
