The problem with these sodas isn’t the taste. They *taste* correct to what they say they are (roughly 95% of the time). The problem is that… you don’t want that much of what you’re tasting and there’s nothing to drink it with. You can’t eat some vegetables and drink a ranch soda. It sounds like it should work; it doesn’t. And so you wind up with just sugar water you can’t stomach in the quantity you have.
