17: Linus Pauling's Favorite (Citrus C, Odwalla)


Citrus C befriending egg-drop soup

I (Alta) almost always buy Citrus C when I buy juice. My reasoning is that it gives me the largest amount of vitamin C for my money's (D-bal's?) worth: 2000% of your daily value, according to the nutrition facts! If I feel like I might get sick, I just pre-emptively down a bottle of Citrus C and I immediately feel invincible. What about taste, you say? It's actually not that sweet and a little on the thick/pulpy side if you don't shake it well, but I enjoy its slight hint of guava and its healthy-tasting grapefruit/citrus feel. Yes, healthy is a taste, and it tastes like Citrus C.

Rating: 4 (yes, positive 4!)

Would drink again?: If you need to ask this question, you obviously didn't actually read the blog post.

16: Champagne Supernova (Limeade, Odwalla)

Unfortunately, tripping out is not one of the side-effects of quaffing this. If only it were that cool.

After the ho-hum lemonade, can Odwalla screw up Light Limeade, so named for its few calories? Apparently, yes. For some reason, LL tastes like artificial sweeteners and has an aftertaste harking back to the window cleaner of Mojito Mambo. Dreadful. I'm not sure what limes Odwalla uses, but I have never had issues with homemade limeade. Perhaps there is a mix-up between citrus and citrus cleaner over at headquarters...

Rating (-5 to +5): -3.5.

Would drink again? If I get a million bucks for drinking a bottle.

Procrastinating on: Midterms (!!!)

15: We're baaaaack! (Lemonade, Odwalla)

The Blacker Horse looms above its puny offering, which is not enough to placate the deities of Olympus. It fluoresces red in anger above the ship of party-goers who do not realize the party would end soon...just kidding?

Lemonade is another entry in the saga of "Odwalla screws up all flavors." It's too concentrated, too tart, and really not worth my d-bal for that giant jug. Meh.

Rating (-5 to +5): -2. Probably harsher than it deserves on its own, just because Odwalla screwed up such a nice flavor.

Would drink again? No, and I love lemonade.
