Jarritos Fresa

Ethnicity: Latin American, Specifically Mexican

Ingredients:
Carbonated Water, Sugar, Citric Acid, Artificial Flavor, Sodium Benzoate, Red 40.

Appearance:
Ruby Red, bottle design is uninspiring. Smell was strongly of artificial strawberry or cough syrup.

Taste:
Aggressive carbonation and rather sweet. The strawberry taste was clearly artificial and not terribly strong. There was no aftertaste to speak of.

Manufacturing Process:
Make a new soda and then realize at the last minute you've forgotten to flavor it and throw in half a strawberry starburst.

Final Thoughts:
Guest comment by roommate Sarah: "It was ok...(voice trails off, soft, melancholy laugh)"

Sawyer: "Who can rationalize the laws of soft drink production? Sometimes Jarritos gets it right, sometimes they leave me scratching my head. The strawberry flavor is absent in a significant way; the color and bottle presentation do not compensate. The carbonation is enough to bubble two bottles! Perhaps strawberry isn't their strong suit. Oh well, see you next time, Jarritos."

Jordan: "I'm a fan of carbonation. I'm a fan of Mexico. I'm a fan of strawberries. This beverage sort of combines all these things in a totally adequate way."

Colin: "I have nothing to say to or about this beverage. It's terrifically pedestrian."
