\"Crush<\/p>\n

What is Crush Sour Patch Kids Berry Soda?<\/h3>\n

It’s a blue raspberry-flavored and Blue 1-dyed soda with a sour twist that’s brought to you by our friends at Dr Pepper\/Seven Up, Inc. and Mondelez International. Also, like all Crush sodas, it’s caffeine free.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

It has that familiar, sweet blue raspberry aroma. But if I jam my nose into the bottle’s spout and take a good sniff, I smell a hint of something that could be considered tropical. Maybe that’s from the sour ingredients. Or possibly my nose got damaged from jamming it into a bottle’s spout. But, as a whole, it smells wonderful and enticing.<\/p>\n

But I’m hesitant to use those same adjectives to describe the soda’s flavor.<\/p>\n

Look, it sounds like I’m about to type that I hate this Cool Water cologne bottle-colored soda, but after drinking half of it, I find it to be decent tasting. However, I’m not craving for another bottle.<\/p>\n

The blue raspberry flavor is super sweet, and perhaps too sweet for my taste buds. Its sourness level is noticeable, but it isn’t high enough to make me pucker even a little after each sip. But it does make me want to drink this slower than other soft drinks. Also, just like when I took a good sniff from its spout, I noticed something that registers as “tropical” in the aftertaste.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

This isn’t the first Sour Patch Kids soda. 7-Eleven and Jones Soda Company partnered to come out with the Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Soda back in 2016. It’s also not the first collaboration between Crush and Sour Patch Kids. Earlier this year, the two offered Crush-flavored candy.<\/p>\n

Also, is this the season for blue raspberry beverages<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Crush Sour Patch Kids Berry is a novelty soda, and like most novelty foods, it’s worth a try at least once.<\/p>\n
