Self diagnosed Soda Jerks.
We love Soda and we drink a lot of it so we decided as we are pretty opinionated we would share our opinions with the world.
If you have a recommendation for a drink we should try, local or otherwise, or even a recommendation for an importer for us to sample some international delights let us know.
We are always happy to hear from people
Thanks!
We think we got ourselves a little UK exclusive on this. French Tic-Tac flavour that should be coming to the UK soon. What? You heard. I got more contacts than specsavers homes. Don't doubt it

Wow. This is crazy. I didn't even know there was 2 different types of Strawberry. This set me straight on a few things now I'm going to lay that down for you.
So there's 2 strawberrys right and this is where it's mad. Both of them are feeling like alone right and things aren't going as well for them as they had once dreamed. One of them is a career focussed 30 something who is madly in love with her boss right and the other one who I think is Cameron Diaz is like more of a party girl but deep down she's lonely and stuff and there's shoes and...ohh no that's the move In Her Shoes again. I keep doing that at the minute.
So there's 2 strawberrys right, pfft yeah we all knew that man right and I always go down to tescos and when they say stawberrys half-price I say yeah but which type? The pink ones or the lighter pink ones, and TicTac decided man I don't want people to have to chose which strawberry they like the most lets just bung them both into a little box. That's part of the reason the Euro Zone is so fucked is thinking like that btw but in this case they've hit upon something pretty good.
Individually they taste nice, one is a bit sharper than the other but together there is a proper depth of flavour. I really liked these, a lot and I'm worried because previously I thought that Tic Tacs were the product for effeminate europeans. This must mean that I'm slowly evolving into one of Owen Wilsons most well known characters...David Guetta. Shit man. That's a hard pill to swallow or it would be if it didn't taste of 2 different type of stawberry.
What's the most annoying advert in the world? Any Sainsburys’ one with Jamie Oliver dribbling over some value pasta? The one where Freddie Flintoff's presenting style confirms one of my long held suspicions that he is indeed a bit special needs? Or even (and this is a bit controversial as it’s beloved by many) the one where the monkeys drink tea and wear hats? (If we let them drink tea and wear hats then we're one step away from them TAKING OVER THE WORLD AND PUTTING US IN BAMBOO CAGES.)
The correct answer is none of the above, the most annoying advert in the world is the Tic Tac’s ‘Shake Your Tic Tacs’ campaign.
In this abomination we are lead to believe that the act of shaking a box of Tic Tacs at someone is a sign of sexual attraction.
Um yeah
I love Tic Tacs but can safely have never shaken a box of them at anyone to demonstrate sexual attraction, in fact the only recorded case of that ever happening was Freddie Flintoff’s attempt to woe his wife (and it actually worked thus proving the mental state of someone who would marry Freddie Flintoff). It all seems like a desperate attempt to become hip and relevant and to forcibly create a catchphrase along the lines of ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ but it fails miserably.
Why they felt the need to create a catchphrase based campaign for something as boring as Tic Tacs confuses me as much as it annoys me. As I said before I love Tic Tacs and I love them for their simplicity, they are little mints in a box they don’t need a hip bloody catchphrase, they don’t even need an advert they are little see through boxes of mints, nothing more, nothing less, except when you find exciting new flavours.
As a fan it's great when you find new flavours, which happens more often than you’d think, however they never seem to last. Introduced over the past few years, on top of the standard mint, orange and orange and lime varieties, have been other mint variations, a peach flavour, a few different cherry combos and even giant sized boxes. Recently I discovered Grape and Lychee twist flavour and was quite excited.
This is a nice combination, the grape really shines and it’s a refreshing change to mint but nice is about as far as it goes when it comes to Tic Tacs. They are never going to be an exciting candy but that’s their charm, they’re always going to be there and always going to be nice.
As nice as the new flavours are they are never going last, firstly no one is going to get excited about a new line of what is essentially a range mints and secondly most people do just view them as a range of mints rather than the sweet candies they can be. Cherry, peach, Grape and Lychee are all tasty treats but they are tasty treats in a mint shaped box, a mint shaped box merchandised beside all the other mint shaped boxes, which is as confusing as Freddie Flintoff on a Ferris wheel with Bruce Forsyth. Plus they have a really shite advert.
Turns out they have more than 1 check this one out
