Appearance: Neon cherry. A more garish shade of the colour on the outside of this can of Sting.

Aroma: I can smell it from here and I'm sitting approximately six feet away. Smells like Cherryade. Not unpleasant. Was once a big fan of Sainsbury's cherryade as an accompaniment to a Twiglets and Scotch egg hogfest.

Taste: Bloody hell. That tastes like a packet of Refreshers on steroids. This Sting's got some sting alright. Without any doubt the falsest, fruitiest sip to date. It's incredibly sweet. No way I'm gonna finish this one. But, you know it's rather pleasant in a really, really bad for you kinda way. Cripes, the amount of sugar (duong) that must have gone into this. Jeez. I'm buzzin'.

If this drink were a JJ Cale song it would be... Call me the breeze. For no coherent reason that I can think of. I'm sugarred up maan.

Our survey said... A mindmelding 6 out of 10. I think it's great, but two sips are more than enough.

Cost: 5,200VD

I like the new look of the blog. Good work!

It seems that Asian countries always have these "interesting" drinks that seem to be more sugar than water. I never find the soft drinks in the US to be as steeped in sugar.
