Island Girl Beverages Diet Root Beer

my daughters and I get take out every Monday for dinner, basically limited to what is very close to our house. this mostly boils down to pizza or chinese, although there is taco bell, pho and indian in the general range as well but they are not chosen by the kiddos ever really. so I walk to get pizza and/or chinese food every week. one week while I was waiting for the food to be ready I noticed they had ordered vanity label sodas and I was very excited and happy. I assumed it was probably Private Label Specialties but checked anyway. happily it was actually Island Girl and I had never had their diet root beer. or other diets, if they exist. being as it was a diet soda, the excitement was pretty toned down, but still, it is a new soda.
for about the first half a second this tastes ok, then it tastes basically awful for about five seconds, but then it fades into an okay flavor. that middle flavor is harsh and metallic and kind of bitter, so pretty much what almost any drink with aspertame tastes like. I really can’t quite comprehend how anyone could get to the point of enjoying that experience. soda drinking is just not worth it when it tastes like that. sure that initial taste is ok, it sort of tastes like root beer should, and the ending flavor is not terrible but it also isn’t good. plus this is quite carbonated so when you burp that middle awful flavor comes back. yeah, stick to other types of diet soda if you can’t have sugar or are trying to cut down. there are some pretty good options out there but this isn’t one. if you can some sugar, the other flavors from Island Girl are pretty decent so choose those I would say.
