In Pour Taste #1

I bid you welcome to my new weekly segment where I review the latest and greatest beverages that I have discovered. Tastes and ingredients that inspire mind, body, and soul. As we know Taste is the second strongest trigger of memory and imagination (behind smell). Therefore I am not only going to describe the taste of the beverage in question, but what it makes me think of.

You will  not know the beverage in question until the end of the post, so please feel free to guess as we go along!

Pour #1

Look: The swirling chocolate noir mixes with the bright caramel colors as they barely coat the walls of the snifter. Very light in the glass, swirls exceedingly fast and now It's splashed on my new shirt!!!!

Reminds me of: A rusty bathtub after a thorough dash of CLR.

Nose: Off the top a sour and acidic note mixed with a metallic tinge. That may be from the 12 ounce aluminum can that I am pouring it out of. And now I am getting a hint of effervescence and carbonation...which just went up my nose.

Reminds me of:  Crab fishing off Cape Cod with my uncle who smelled of lemon juice and Alka-Seltzer.

Mouth Feel: Intense carbonation. I feel as if the enamel is being stripped off my teeth after every sip. Has a dual personality in the mouth, searing pain mixed with watery relief. Perhaps was once used as an oral numbing agent.

Reminds me of: Faking an epileptic shock on a dare by placing an antacid tablet under my tongue. But Sweeter

Tasting Notes: Tart, sweet (not Sweet-Tarts, those are gross) yet exceedingly bright on the tongue. I can definitely pick out the High Fructose Corn Syrup. As for the "Natural Flavors", they are shrouded by ever more sweetness and again carbonation. Metallic aftertaste.

Reminds me of: gnawing excitedly on sugar drenched electric guitar strings.

Afterthoughts: A refreshing beverage that doesn't fill you up even with the 140 calories per can. In fact I feel like I've drank nothing at all and need to workonthatmanuscriptI'vebeensecretelytyping........Whoa! Caffeine kicking in. Now I see the true potential of this unique beverage. Screw Taste, gimme more!!!!!!!

Recommendation: I feel Coca-Cola Classic Formula is perfect for sufferers of Attention Deficit Disorder, Sensitive Teeth, Diabetes, and High Blood Pressure. And upon further study, I see no ill effect to drinking it in mass quantities while engaging in quiet activities such as Funerals, Divorce Proceedings, or Lethal injections.

Enjoy Life! Gezondheid!
