Fresca!

I don't drink soda. The regular versions have way too much sugar, and I try to steer clear of NutraSweet and Splenda, as I've surely ranted mentioned before. If I really feel the need for something carbonated, I'm very happy with flavored seltzer, particularly black cherry. I usually buy Adirondack or Polar or just store brand. They have no calories, no sugar, no sodium, and no evil chemicals—just a hint of flavor in carbonated water.

However, James had to go and break the news to me that Fresca, that perplexingly pleasing grapefruit soda from yesteryear, now comes in a "black cherry citrus" version. I am a sucker for black cherry. So I went and bought some—throwing caution to the NutraSweet wind!—and am hooked. Oh, yum.

I can't drink carbonated beverages these days without getting a stomachache. So, I drink Minute Maid Light (I think with aspartame) Guava Citrus and Raspberry Passion. They are really good.

I used to love Fresca. I'll have to try it again!

In addition to the regular citrus and the black cherry citrus, they also have a peach citrus, but that doesn't appeal to me at all.

Have you tried Santa Cruz Organic cherry spritzer? Quite tasty. No splenda or nutrasweet. www.scojuice.com

I was shocked that they dropped so much money into advertising Fresca. From my place in Southern California It seems as if they are in the middle of a huge ad campaign.

Even one of my local low end faimily resturants is in on the hype.
