Sampled the **Green River** lime soda last night. I had high hopes for this one since they listed lime oil in the ingredients. Sadly, it’s just too sweet for my taste(bud)s. **Bundaberg’s** is still the main contender in this race. Does anyone know of a decent lime soda on par with San Pellegrino’s **Limonatta**? I want a good tart beverage without the neon dayglo nuclear waste coloration. Is this asking for too much? PS: **Scribble** , I tried to warn you about the potential mastic flavoring in **Limca** , really I did. And would you listen? [John Belushi] But nnnooooooooo! [/John Belushi] ---

It’s not really all that odd, but it’s not something you find at the corner supermarket in most areas either - **Orangina**. Love that stuff when I can get hold of it. I especially like the little odd bottle it comes in. Now, back the whole **Moxie** thing - having grown up in Massachussets and Maine (and, my folks summer in Union, Maine, where Moxie was first made!) Moxie was an almost daily treat when I was a kid. I’m now convinced that our elders got us into Moxie so that cough medicine and castor oil and chemotherapy medications wouldn’t seem to taste bad… It’s funny, I drank the stuff by the case when I was a little one, but if I take a slug of it today, it pretty much makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and my stomach starts doing flippity-floppies. ---

**TVGuy** , if you like **Orangina** , you’ll probably love San Pelegrino’s **Aranciata** (orange) soda. Like their **Limonatta** drink, it is made with natural flavors and extracts. Neither of them are so cloyingly sweet as Murican type soft drinks. **hajario** , how was the **Bundaberg’s Lemon Lime Bitters**? I’m going to chill down one of those little suckers in a while as it’s a scorcher outside. Your impressions, please. ---

Really glad to hear that you liked the stuff, **haj**. Don’t quite know how I missed your post to that effect. I’ve yet to find anything that remotely approaches the quality of **Bundaberg’s**. Their ginger beer is rather respectable as well, but the lemon lime bitters is in a glass by itself. Thanks for responding.
