Jumex Guanabana Nectar

Ethnicity: Mexican

Ingredients:
Water, guanabana puree, sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, ascorbic acid (preservative).

Appearance:
Takes on the appearance of a thick lemonade. Smells grapefruit-y, strong, almost alcoholic.

Taste:
Delicious! Fruity but without the citrus tang. Sweet, syrupy and smooth. Rich too, not something you drink very fast.

Final Thoughts:

Sawyer: "Best thing to happen to this blog since the pinko Jews."

Jordan: "Apparently, my American beverage cultural bias prevents me from fully appreciating the greatness of this nectar."

Colin: "A+++++++++++++ would drink again. Fast shipping"

Jarritos Guava

Ethnicity: Mexican

Ingredients:
Carbonated water (water, carbon dioxide), sugar, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate (as presative), red 40 and yellow 6.


Appearance:
A festive, bright, slightly opaque pink. Bottle design is still not very impressive. Smelled vaguely of artificial strawberry flavor, pear jelly beans. Very sharp odor for a soda.

Taste:
Par for the Jarritos course. Strong bite of carbonation with an underwhelming flavor.

Final Thoughts:

Sawyer: "Strike two, Jarritos."

Jordan: "A little known side effect of this highly carbonated but barely flavored soda is its ability to give all who drink it a complete creative block. The ability to say entertaining things about ethnic beverages is severely retarded."

Colin: "Those who forget history are bound to repeat it. So we did another Jarritos review. Fool me once..."

Chin Chin Grass Jelly Drink

Ethnicity: Taiwanese

Ingredients:
Water, Grass Jelly (Nesona procumbens hemsl), Cane Sugar, Corn Starch, Honey.

Appearance:
The can and the drink itself are not inviting to drinking. Sawyer likens the liquid to Jenkem.

Taste:
Opinions varied on the taste. The flavor is not very strong and it tastes somewhat like green or black tea and honey. The jelly chunks were unpleasant and ruined for some what might have been a decent drink.

Final Thoughts:

Sawyer: It's nice to know that every 100 grams of this drink contains 167.5kj of energy. Sure doesn't have much else going for it.

Jordan: "It'll be fascinating to find out in 10 years or so what kind of effect this had on my life. For now it was just a really crappy drink."

Colin: "Not bad tastewise. The chunks are fairly disgusting."
