Interesting art & stickers in The Fan, Richmond

So I just saw a couple youtuber nerds just review different brands of a condiment and I said hey, I can do that. It’s not like they have a degree or anything. *

I’ve liked IBC black cherry soda for a while, but I saw Blue Sky black cherry soda and wanted to do a comparison.

The color threw me off at first, but I realized it’s only because it doesn’t have red 40 & blue 1 in it.

You know what would have been smart? If I had done a blind tasting like the aforementioned youtubers (see that’s why they pay ’em the big bucks). “Organic” labels make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I’m saving the planet or at the very least, like, a family of sloths.

Anyway.

Both have a nice flavor and carbonation. Both are caffeine free. However, Blue Sky has 27g of sugar (still very sweet) and IBC clocks in at a whopping 43g. That’s more than coke (39g). I also think Blue Sky has more “cherry” flavor, with almost almond notes.

I really do think I genuinely like the Blue Sky better. But I’m glad I didn’t find a third soda. It’s enough sweet for one sitting.

* Ok well I looked it up and they have great degrees from a great school, but not culinary degrees so there.
