Alani – Orange

I do like the tall, thin 12-ounce cans. It just struck me, picking this one up—imagine a world where we haven’t yet had this sparking water/flavored seltzer/etc. craze—and you’d find this oddball, skinny tall can, metallic orange with green leaves—and it’s—no sugar! No sweetener! Just water, bubbles, and flavor? How weird would that be? I’d be taking this along to all my many many many many social appearances, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, there’s something a little off about the flavor. But wait… let’s see if it grows on me. You know, sometimes that happens. Sometimes what is gross at first later becomes the best thing ever. But not always, and in this case… no.
