Sometime in the last 4 months since our return from Africa, I bought some generic soda pop to take to work. I have a mini-fridge in my office and like to hydrate from time to time. I am not too picky, so I ignore famous brands and buy the cheapest think I can find.
Hmm, not always the best idea.
Here is a "bargain" soda I found:
Do NOT buy this soda. I opened the first bottle (Yeah, I bought about 3) after chilling it. I took a big swig and thought, This is the worse soda I have ever tasted anywhere. It tasted like DIET soda, which I hate. I looked at the label. No mention of the word "diet" anywhere. I looked at the list of ingredients- yep sugar was pretty high on the list, but down near the end was that dreaded word, "aspartame". Wow does that taste bad!!
I don't offer a lot of advice, but hear this: "Do NOT buy that pop!" It is awful.
There is no shame in making a mistake... unless you fail to learn.

Ha, ha. I love how much I'm like you. I did the exact same thing, except I only bought one. It bothered me so much that I took mine back to Wal-mart and showed the customer service rep the ingredients label. We don't like giving the kids aspartame, which is the reason I gave for returning it, but it was really because it was so awful. Sorry you had the same experience. It makes me feel better about hating it that helps. :-)
