product review - Trader Joe's Espresso Soda

This is one of those products where you take two things you already like and just put 'em together. While not a fool-proof way of coming up with new and exciting products, it's always (ALWAYS) worth at least a try. So, when I saw Espresso Soda at Trader Joe's, I thought, "this could work."

Well, it's just ok soda. Not nearly as good as OK Soda, which if you remember, was perfect. It might've been the soda that all other sodas should be measured against. Second only perhaps to Mountain Dew. I'd be hard-pressed to choose between the two of those.

Espresso Soda, while I thought it would be dark and thick and eyetalian, like espresso often is, it was quite light and bubbly. But, not refreshing enough. The coffee weighs the soda down, much like the blackness of Coke Black. Coffee drinkers should drink coffee, and I think soda drinkers would have to pass on Trader Joe's Espresso Soda - though it was an intriguing idea and worth the attempt.

I rate this as just ok on a scale of so-so to OK (tm)
