AHA – Blackberry + Lemon

Just saw, AHA in the news—Coca-Cola, who makes it, is cutting back. They must have found that it doesn’t fuel the space aliens, like Diet Coke—and 4 out of 5 dentist$ want you to drink regular Coke. Anyway, this one—another good flavor—very fruity, definitely blackberry. I really like this flavor—though something tells me it’s artificial as hell—I think because it reminds me the most of Kool-Aid as any sparkling water I’ve yet had. Not that Kool-Aid had a blackberry (back in my day), but still, there’s a subtlety to the flavor that recalls that nostalgic Kool-Aid fruity flavor. The can is purple and yellow, but it doesn’t look like the LSU football uniform (or any other sports team I can think of). It’s one of the more fucked up looking cans, actually—the three cartoon blackberries floating in a yellow background look more like the artist representation of coronavirus, or cartoon meteoroids in space—a meteoroid field we have to navigate the spaceship through to get to our supply of Diet Coke.
