So, if you've read my blog recently you know I was supposed to give up soda for one of my resolutions. I knew that it might be difficult to keep that in New Orleans given that I wouldn't have a kitchen at my disposal all of the time, so I did break it already by having a few soda's, but since I did.....I might as well review a new one.
Sierra Mist has always been a poor man's Sprite to me. But I'm proud of them, they have come out with a soda that is made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is a chemical sugar that tricks your body into just wanting more sugar, and it never makes your stomach feel full through chemical manipulation of your brain, that's why it's so bad for you, plus the fact that it's a chemical substitute for something that you can find naturally in plants, so what's the point? If you want sugar, have REAL sugar not HFCS, which might also do horrible things to your liver and cause some cancers (I think personally, but I'm no doctor). So, anyway,
the soda is good. It tastes a lot like the original Sierra Mist, but I'm more satisfied that it has real sugar in it over the fake stuff, so no, it doesn't taste exactly the same, but, close enough for me to buy it again (in 2013) when my resolution is over.
Calories are still the same about 140 per 12 oz can. The ingredient list is:
Carbonated water, sugar, citric acid, natural flavor, and potassium citrate.
I think it's worth a try if you like stuff like Sprite or 7 Up.
Did you like the Cranberry Splash flavor when you were over here last time?
ReplyDeleteCranberry is not one of my favorite flavors, but that soda wasn't bad.
