>Inb4 some faggot redditor says mexican coke
I like to drink the weird canned drinks you find at asian super markets, but I can bring myself to try the grass jelly one

>>17593631
What does dandelion and burdock taste like in soda form?

>>17593631
I would drink the shit out of that
>>17593635
Be brave anon, review it for us

>>17593621
Based kvass drinker. It taste best when cold.


For me, it's picrel. The best cola I've ever had.
Shame it's pretty costly and poorly available.

>>17593640
it's pretty hard to describe, cola-ish with a mild liquorice/herby edge to it. it's nicer than i'm making it sound to be honest lol

>>17593640
Not unlike root beer.
>>17593651
Fentimans is shit tier, literally made from the same crap as Coca Cola.

For me, it's Chinotto.

>>17593651
had a bottle of that the other day, it is pretty good. if you're a bong, Sainsburys sell it

>>17593667
it's fucking cola, what would you expect it to be made from, fucking sturgeon eggs?

>>17593686
>what would you expect it to be made from
From kola nuts you spastic. Plenty of other brands manage it.

>>17593621
The OG

>>17593680
Nah, I'm east Euro.
Though, I buy it from time to time. Victorian Lemonade, Cherry Cola, Dandelion & Burdock are also tasty.

>>17593694
i'd always assumed fentiman's was but i just checked and yeah you're right. fuck those faggots, they are dead to me now

>>17593631
we do things a little different around 'ere, innit guvna

>>17593621

>>17593793
Cassis? Kanker vies.

>>17593793
>>17593818
hmm... ik ook!

>>17593621
What does "cola but fermented" taste like? Root beer?

>>17593675
based

>>17594114
>>17593675
Lurisia is the best brand for chinotto imho

>>17594130
it's good but not bitter enough imo. tastes like amaro montenegro (good thing)

>>17593694
Do you make sure to wax your faggot hipster mustache before drinking that?

>>17593621
>Slavshit poverty cola
>actually tastes better than Coca Cola

>>17593905
EEK OOK EEK OOK ME MONKEY

>>17594143
>MONKEY
We say "aap" down here in the Netherlands.

>>17593621
>is half the price of all other soft drinks
>is also based in your path
foreigncucks dont know what they're missing out on

Completely alien. It's like liquid fizzy cheese.

>>17595574
japs have had fizzy milk and fizzy yoghurt for decades anon
its not exactly new

>>17593793
it tastes the same as I remember...

>>17593635
Just try the grass jelly one anon. It is pretty good or at worst it will just be weird. It is like some sweet tea with a jelly that really does taste grassy but not in a bad way. The jelly is a little like that aloe Vera jelly drinks the k-chinks drink but that is better

>>17595793
And the Persians have had it for hundreds of years, that doesn't mean everyone in the world has tried it.

Nearly all foreign sodas are fruity caffeine free bullshit.
There's a reason for Coca-Cola's blatant global domination.

>>17593621
I'd be up to trying something foreign, as long as it's sugar free.
Don't like sweets much, especially not drinking them.

>>17595574
>>17595793
>>17595814
That's funny, I remember as a kid eating some yogurt that was past it's expiry date and it was fizzy.

>>17595558
based mixer, tough to have more than half a glass though. It's a touch too sweet now (didn't used to be as bad).

>>17595793
Is this or is this not a thread for weird foreign drinks?

>>17593621
Kvass is amazing

>>17595937
Bohemias aren't that good, and you probably paid a lot for them. Try indio beer next time.
t.mexican

>>17593635
Grass jelly drink sounds a lot worse than it actually is. I remember seeking some out after seeing it in a youtube video, I think it was Ashens but I can't remember. It's just tea with some chunks of jelly in it, the tea covers up a lot of the flavor and the texture is actually kind of nice.

>>17593675
This shit is so good it's unreal. I drank probably 4 liters of this in Italy and haven't found it anywhere in the US since. I know you can order it online but it's like $30 for a 6 pack or something

I'd like to try kvass, do you have any recommendations?

>>17596174
I just ordered the one in the OP image from Amazon, wanted to try some again before Russian kvass companies got sanctioned or Ukrainian kvass production got shut down. Idk how it compares to other kvass, it's sweeter than I remember it being the first time but I'd recommend the OP image I guess.

>>17596186
That'll work thanks!

>>17593621
Always wanted to try this

>>17593675
>>17594114
>>17594130
>>17596167
if you like chinotto, italian "spuma nera" is also great.
(I actually prefer it to chinotto)

>>17596318
Tastes like bubblegum

>>17593635
Asian here. Grass Jelly taste nothing like grass. Its pretty much tasteless, almost like your standard jell-o/gelatin. You could find flavored grass jelly in the supermarket like grape and mango flavored grass jelly

If you have never tasted this ginger ale then I feel sorry for you. I’ve tried probably 25+ different ginger ales and NONE of the compare to the spiciness/gingerness of this.

>>17596429
If you want spiciness and ginger flavor just get ginger beer instead of ginger ale retard

>>17593621
doesn't that stuff contain a bit of alcohol, thus making it not a 'soft drink'? idk my autism sense is tingling

>>17596439
Real kvass does since it's fermented but the commercial stuff is artificially flavored soda

>>17593635
I went to a vietnamese place and ordered one with my food once, I liked it more than I thought I would. I can't remember the exact way it tasted, but I remember it being refreshing and sweet. Good stuff, you should give it a try.

>>17596440
didn't know that. thanks m8

I tried milkis which was kind of weird and some mexican tamarind drink which was way worse than I expected.

>>17596490
Milkis banana and melon flavors are really good

>>17594140
baste, my friend
back when i drank soda that was the stuff, it's milder in the cola flavour but has that nice anise/liquorice/spicy notes to it
also the extra herbal edition was great but had it once in my life :(

>>17596497
sipping on a milkis banana right now. Can confirm.

>>17595816
that image is about irn bru, but i wonder how true it actually is

>>17596570
Coke doesn't exist in a number of those markets and Pepsi products even have a larger market share in the US.

I buy this stuff at the slav store and its pretty good. I also tried some green central asian soda that was one of the nastiest thing I have ever tasted

>>17595854
yeah its not something you'd smash a bottle of but it's still much less sweet than shit like coke, m.dew or fanta.... at least to me.
citrusy drinks are better at quenching your thirst than others, something i learned from friends in the military.

>>17593621
I have some black currant in my fridge. Was worried that I wouldn't be able to find the shit anymore but had no issues.

>>17594140
>Slavshit poverty cola
>actually tastes better than Coca Cola
It costs more than cola. Is actually healthier too.

>>17596167
This is the most disgusting shit I've ever had.

>>17593621
I made some myself with the recipe of "Life of Boris" YT channel. It tasted very nice. Had the same taste like picrel here in serbia, but is fermented. The fermentation process is quite quick so these won't hold for too long when produced. That's why they only use taste extract and these sort of things. (cold is the best)

>>17598425

Where can I buy Russian made products online shipping to the USA? I want to do my part to support the war effort.

>>17595816
North Korea has Coca Cola? Which Kim invented the time machine an accidentally left a bottle behind for American capitalist pig running dogs to copy the recipe and steal from Best Korea?

Not particularly rare but very nice tasting and SOVLFUL

>>17599782
>lets just put apple concentrate into EVERYTHING
>it fucking works

>>17596606
i always pass this over at my slav store. what's it like?

>>17599831
Another anon.
It's has more herbal notes than cola, but has similar flavor profile.
And "green central asian soda" could be Tarhun, it's based on tarragon.

For me, it's the weird asian drink with small gelatinous cubes in it. I think it was based on aloe. A bit too sweet, but addictive.

Ramune isn't so rare, but wasabi ramune is pretty rare. It's delicious. Basically ramune with a nice spicy finish.

Good alone or with beer

>>17600367
I can't stand Colombiana by itself, i think it's only good with greasy food. Refajo is okay, though.

>>17596318
It's not very good, just try bubblegum soda

>>17593675
Fuck why did you remind me that this ambrosia exists

>>17593635
Really? That's one of the better flavors though.
>Captcha: JAP02

Used to buy pic related but they quit selling it for some reason.

>>17593938
Not OP. Kvass is rye based, so I'd describe it as lightly fizzy, a bit less sugary than cola and with a rye aftertaste.

>>17599782
I had this once, but was nothing special desu

>>17593675
I never understood this stuff, it just tastes like cola but very bitter. I like bitter stuff but chinotto's just nothing special to me

There's only one thing that's better than Chinotto, and it's pic related.
God tier of soft drinks

For me it's Julmust. Only available at Christmas time in Sweden. I'm from Denmark but I always travel and buy at least 6 liters.

This thing that my favorite lebanese restaurant has. It's like Fanta but a lot better, with a more believable flavour

>>17602180
Shit forgot pic

I wish malt sodas were more popular in the US. They're everywhere in Latin America.

>>17593793
I can taste that image

>>17593675
Fuck my grocery store doesn't have these

found this in malaga

I used to drink this all the time

I like this sort of thing. Chinese herbal drink. Even better if there is grass jelly in it.

>>17595819
Yeah i actually love it when fermented milk products go all fizzy. I think my favorite one was a blueberry kefir, it was acidic, fizzy, divine. When i went to purchase another one it was not as fizzy.

>>17602557
I had one of those yesterday. The flavor was kinda basic but it wasn't bad.

Heil Sapa Inca

>>17596353
You mean its a whole style not just one Baladín product? AWholeNewWorld.mp3

>>17593621
I hated Kvass the first two times I had it. The third time I loved it. It was all the same brand too, it just took some getting used to. Wish I had some right now.

>>17603174
no, it was a popular vintage beverage during a time when foreign drinks like Coke or Pepsi weren't easily available.
There were probably dozens of different brands during its heydays
