Released with the tagline \u201cCelebrating 50 Years of Hip-Hop\u201d, will this soda do justice to the legacy of one the most influential musical movements of recent memory?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the bad news: the only music I listen to are Broadway show tunes and movie\/videogame soundtracks. So, unless Hamilton counts, I\u2019m completely unqualified to judge whether a strawberry-lemonade soda adequately represents hip-hop from a musical perspective. But I do know my way around a soda fountain, so I feel up to the task of reviewing this soda.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spritelyle2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-56330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spritelyle2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spritelyle2.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spritelyle2.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spritelyle2.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/spritelyle2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I open the lovely pink can, pour the soda into a glass, and am surprised at the lack of red or pink coloring in the liquid. It instead appears as ordinary, vaguely cloudy yellow lemonade. No doubt the cloudiness is from the modified food starch in the ingredient list and not the clarified lemon juice listed, but I appreciate how much like real lemonade it appears.<\/p>\n<p>The scent is very strawberry-forward, and the flavor really brings the berry. It\u2019s certainly artificial; you won\u2019t mistake this for a freshly squeezed lemonade with crushed strawberries from the county fair. Think more of those old-fashioned strawberry candies. Underneath all that berry is a distinct lemon flavor, separate from the lemon-lime of classic Sprite, but there\u2019s no mistaking this for regular Sprite Lymonade.<\/p>\n<p>A strawberry flavor is a natural addition to the existing Sprite Lymonade. If you\u2019re one to get excited about new sodas (And I am! And I suspect readers of this site are too), this may seem like an underwhelming brand extension. I, however, have come to appreciate this simple soda. At a time when Coca-Cola is releasing Coke varieties like \u201cPixel,\u201d \u201cDreamworld,\u201d and the upcoming \u201cSound Of A Lover\u2019s Step As They Approach,\u201d I can appreciate how much a touch of strawberry can add to a soft drink. The others all end up tasting like fruity bubblegum to me anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Sprite Lymonade Legacy is a soda that does exactly what it promises. Some red coloring would have added to the strawberry experience, but the flavor is on point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $ 7.29<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12 fl oz cans\/12 pack<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Woodman\u2019s Market<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 can) 130 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 mg milligrams of cholesterol, 65 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 35 grams of sugar (including 35 grams of added sugars), and 0 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Coca-Cola Company has released Sprite Lymonade Legacy, a strawberry-lemonade-flavored take on the classic lemon-lime soda.
