Cricket Diet Cola

Recently in a conversation with a friend we came upon the subject of sweeteners in soft drinks and I mentioned I find a huge difference in taste between high fructose corn syrup and cane sugar. He mentioned a pop available in the Chicago area called Cricket, that their regular was made with cane sugar. Though I was tempted at first to buy the sugared version, I like to start with the diet sodas, since that's what I prefer flavor-wise. It's a cola made with green tea extract as the caffeinating factor.

The main flavor that hits me when I drink it is the intense sweetness of the Sucralose, and then the green tea. The green tea flavor is pretty subdued, however, and quickly overtaken by the sour carbonic acid flavor of the slight carbonation. I'll be damned if I can taste the cola at all. I was hoping for stronger flavors. It's mainly just carbonated, sweetened green tea. Glass bottle, twist top. 2 Burps
