I find it hard to imagine finding very many words to describe a drink, especially when it is not a high-end, famous wine or single-malt scotch, or something equally as unique or one-of-a-kind. I do enjoy beer, wine and cider, but I

This soda is so wicked. I find the taste to be quite bitter at times, so unpleasant it actually feels like it burns my tongue. There is definitely a cola flavor present, but it is overpowered by the excess carbonation and fizzing on the tongue.
Diet Pepsi also seems to …
