Sunkist, Sunkist, Rah! Rah! Rah!

Rock 'N' Roll Ralphs on Sunset is always out of Diet Sunkist!

No matter what time or what day you go, they're out. They have rows and rows of Coke, Cherry Coke, Pepsi and 7-Up, but no Diet Sunkist, in fact it seems like Diet Sunkist is the only soda they're ever out of!

For some reason, they also no longer sell my other favourite soda Diet Coke with Lime (in the 2-litre bottles), so of late, when faced with this lack-of-Sunkist dilemma, I've been taste testing a number of the other sodas, sampling from the plethora of choices available in the pop aisle, to see what else could possibly hit the spot.

Tropicana Sugar Free Orangeade had a disgustingly artificial aftertaste, Pineapple Fanta had no chance (having been raised on Lilt, and it's totally tropical taste), but the Caramel Cream flavoured Jazz, from the makers of Diet Pepsi, well, that was a lovely surprise.

Fearing that it too would be too saccharinely sweet, Jazz knocked my taste buds out of the park. Just enough caramel, not too much aspartame, and snazzy packaging. What more could you ask for from a soda. I'm almost hooked!

Diet Sunkist! It's like liquid crack! I always keep a case of it in my fridge at home. Good stuff...

Jazz sounds too similar to jizz and, really, who wants that in their soda? What about the grossly overlooked Fresca? Tab? Anyone? Anyone?

I love and miss diet coke with lime... i've resorted to drinking diet pepsi with lime which ain't the same!
