Name: Limca
Purchased From: Global Foods Market, Kirkwood, MO
Color: White, think Gatorade Ice
Taste: After opening the reused, not recyled (henceforth RNR) bottle of Limca I noitced a ring of brown liquid around the rim. After a wipe from my sleeve (was told it helps), a ring of nasty was left behind (below).
I decided drinking it straight from the bottle may not be advisable so I poured it in a mug, fizzed up just like any citrus soda you've had. The difference, is I remember residual bubbles in most other citrus drinks, where Limca only had a couple bubble throughout.
The aroma is very tough to explain, definitely some lemony citrus, and something else I can't pin down. This other odor doesn't finish very pleasantly and it's the last sense you get before tasting the product, not a good start. It basically tastes like someone put sugar into lemon Perier. Everytime I would go back for another sip I'd get a whiff of that off-putting aroma and wince before drinking. I would have to compare the flavor with a Sprite that's hissing in the back of my JIB restaurant, begging for a syrup change but I'm tired of being the only one lugging that heavy shit all over the place. End result: tastes like crap, first soda to be finished off by my drain; but if well marketed, I'm sure it'd sell.

Ok - so WTH is the deal with reused not recycled? Do they seriously take used bottles, barely sterilize them, and refill them?
ReplyDeleteI assume it's fully sanitized, but after looking at the ring of poo underneath this last bottle, I'm very suspect. It's uses a lot less energy than actually melting the bottle into a new bottle, so there is positives...
