Hiatus to End Soon!

Well, summer is here, bringing with it loads of spare time and cash. I plan to start doing beverage reviews again starting next week.

The reason for the hiatus was simple: blogger apparently deletes pictures you upload after a certain amount of time. This pissed me off to the point of not doing any reviews for almost a year. Talk about nerdrage huh? Anyway, I decided I'd try this whole reviewing thing out again, as I really enjoy it and really should write more than I do. It's one way to keep one's mind occupied over the summer I suppose.

Anyways, look forward to some more quality content.

Stay Tuned.

Blogger can suck a fat one.

So I guess Blogger deletes your pictures after a while, causing a lot of my reviews to be picture-less. I'm not going back to each one to fix it, so that's that. Fuck you Blogger.

Hiatus is Over

After being on hiatus for a while, I'm happy to say that I will be writing a weekly review starting tomorrow! I also changed the site's layout quite a bit; I hope you guys like it. Sorry I was gone for so long, but hey, I can't say that anybody missed me. Expect a review up tomorrow on something quite different; you know, the sort of thing I do all the time.

Until we meet again, huzzah it real nice.

Manufacturers seek to rename "High-Fructose Corn Syrup" to "Corn Sugar"

Oh boy.





If you've read my reviews in the past, you must know how I feel about High-Fructose Corn Syrup. This proposed rename is ridiculous, as the only reason Manufacturers want to is because of all the bad press HFCS gets. Do they think this will change anything? Maybe, but I hope not.

Here's a link to a story about it:

Shenanigans.

Safeway Twelve Pack Sales

Hello,

Two nights ago a took a trip to my nearest Vons, also known as Safeway. While I was there I happened across an ad that proclaimed "Buy 2 Twelve Packs of Soda, Get 3 Free!" As you may have guessed, I was giddy at the idea. The price of 2 Twelve packs was about $6.50.

The flavors I got were:
  1. Sunkist Solar Fusion
  2. Sierra Mist Natural Cranberry
  3. Diet Mug Rootbeer
  4. Diet Pepsi
  5. Diet Pepsi Cherry
The only reason I got the two diet Pepsi packs was the fact that I have family over for Thanksgiving, and that is what they like.

Stay tuned.

You can find a small interface at the bottom of the page, which is used to subscribe to our posts! Subscribe if you want to stay updated, and if you do, thank you! Also on a side note; please tell your friends and family about this website! I would like more people to enjoy what I have to offer here. This brings me to my next point. At the top of the page, there is a 'follow' button; this is Google Friend Connect. If you follow the site, there is a chance that people will see, and in return we get more views!

YOU DECIDE Poll Number Two

Hello again, my friends.

I am, once again, allowing you to pick what I shall review. This time, the losers of the last poll are going up against the newcomer, Fanta. The second most popular answer was Snapple last time, so we'll see how this goes. You have until September 23rd to vote. I already know what I'm going to review this week and next.

Also, I would like to add that if you click on our ads (which can be found on the bottom-middle-right of the site) we can make money which will be used for buying new drinks to review, and for the cost of the domain name.

Thank you for your support. Help us get noticed!

Welcome to my Reviews Site!

Welcome!
This is my Beverage Reviews blog! I post a new beverage review every Friday, so expect a lot to come!

Horrible, don't even bother.
