Over-rated: any iteration of cola, Irn-Bru (Mrs B is a Scot and swears by it… it’s horrid… tastes like rusty lemonade).
Under-rated: a Sodastream prepared at home using any form of fruit cup cordial.

I’ve never had Sarsaparilla? Is this any good or?

My memory of Chinotto, tastes like you can run a car on it. Well at least the bottle I had, did, some years ago.

Under rated (and sadly so under rated that it seems to have vanished ) - Tarax Black Label Lemonade. The absolute ducks guts of Lemonade.

There must be a few italian blitzers, because Chinotto? Really? Ill give it interesting

As an overweight blitzer im cutting down/out softies.

i do like the Passionfruit flavoured Mount Franklin. Cuts out the sugar and artificial sweeteners so feels guilt free.

Overrated: Fanta. Always a sell out at Bunnings sausage sizzles when i have volunteered on them. So much sugar and sooo sweet. If gatorade/powerade counts these are a bit overrated too.

Underrated: Solo. Ice cold its the best when your thirsty.

Underated- Chinotto, Schweppes soda water and


Over rated- Dr Pepper!
