Waterloo – Ginger Citrus Twist

Shocking, in that I don’t like it. That’s a big surprise—I’ve liked every other Waterloo, and every other ginger sparkling water—what went wrong here? It’s weird—it almost tastes sweet. I had to double-check the ingredients—but no sugar. I’m almost wondering if they accidentally messed up a batch. Anyway, it does taste like ginger, but not very much, and it does taste a little citrusy, but not much—what the hell? The thing it reminds me of most is those antacids—Brioschi, and Galeffi—the Italian effervescente that I have on hand, currently. Kind of, but not really. Anyway, something medicinal about it. Well… it’s not horrible… I can drink it. Maybe my expectations were too high. I would save the rest of it for guests—that wouldn’t be rude—anyone might really like this. So that’s what I’d do with the rest of it—that is, if I ever had guests! Another funny thing—the picture on the can—while, if you really look, you can tell it’s a piece of ginger and twists of lemon and lime—but it took me awhile—and at first, I thought it was a piece of popcorn! Which made no sense. But when you look even more closely, it actually looks more like a misshapen turkey!
