reviews come prepacked with ratings on the various scales: sharp to smooth, can design, and overall rating. ratings are denoted using this scale: [==[ number ]==]. the scale is from 1-5, with 1 being [[ 1 ]====] and 5 being [====[ 5 ]]. if halves are needed, they will look like [=:[ 1.5 ]:====]. just a fun style i came up with, and fancier than the regular old asterisk stars.
a competent carbonated fruit punch. tasty, but nothing to write home about. first sips may be jarring, so be prepared - it's not you, it's the drink.
sharp to smooth:
[==:[ 2.5 ]:===] - able to be chugged, but tingles on the tongue in a pleasant way.
can design:
[[ 1 ]====] - the name and print make me feel like a poser just by association. the bright pink and newsprint cutout font seem to echo the variety of corporate "punk" veneer commonly attributed to 10 year old girls clothing in the late 2000s. safety pins and sketchy doodles do not a punk make, and looking at this can will make you feel like you just picked up a battle jacket off of Amazon. close your eyes for this one.
overall rating:
[==[ 3 ]==] - i like it, but every time i look at the can i cringe so hard i invert. not what i usually reach for in the convenience store fridges.
