That there was a Warheads Sour! Green Apple Soda? Neither did I until I found it at the Dollar Tree.
I mean, I just had to try it. I love gimmicky sodas, even if they end up tasting terrible. This one, though, was a big surprise.
I poured some out for myself and each of my kids. We all took a sip and, at once, recognize that it tasted like biting into a sweet, green apple. No sour taste or aftertaste. It just tasted like a sweet, green apple. Weirdly realistic flavor, even more so than a regular green apple candy.
Looking at the ingredients list, it had a all sorts of malic acid - so it SHOULD have been sour. But, to us - no sourness. Just sweetness. The kids really liked it. We may be looking for it again next Dollar Tree visit.
TL;DR - Warheads Sour! Green Apple Soda is better than it has any right to be, actually tasting like a green apple and not very sour. Would drink again.

I finally got around to listening to this episode of Strong Towns podcast from last June about dollar store chains as an invasive species, and of how big-box stores act like slash-and-burn agriculture in communities, and it has given me my daily dose of anger. Stacey Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance is the guest, and brings a lot of data and perspective.
