Jackass Soda: Faygo Rock 'N Rye

Name: Faygo Rock 'N Rye
Alleged Flavor: "Cream Cola"- the can itself
Actual Flavor: "Hey, who spilled flat, generic coke in my red cream soda"
Fruit Juice Content: Not a drop
Carbonation Level: Low. Drink it fast or you'll miss it entirely
Color: An ugly red with a pinkish hue. I thought it was brownish-red from across the roon. but nah, pukey pink red
Tasting sample was from: aluminum can, poured into glass

At the same time I picked up the 12 pack of Faygo Peach, I did the same with Faygo RockN'Rye. I had to try it for the name alone, but the fine print revealing it to be a "Cream Cola" intrigued me all the more. Hey, I like Cola. I even like Vanilla Cola. Surely Cream Cola would be tasty?

Er, not quite.

Faygo is the cut-rate soda out of Michigan, and I think they produce a cheaper beverage by cutting corners. Definately on carbonation- it hisses when you open the can, then it's gone like the summer wind.

As for the taste of this one...well, it's not quite red cream, and it's definately not cola. It's a "You've got peanut butter in my chocolate" experiment gone bad.

And I don't know why they call this stuff Rock N' Rye.

I'll probably drink the rest of the cans I bought, but I make no promises.
