I'm always a fan of a soda in a black can and the design on this has got me pretty good. Whilst it does look very 1992, the big red cher...

Alright this review was a bit of a wild ride, so I will try and get the whole experience in here. I first tried the soda a while ago and sta...

After the Mandarin Lime I drank previously I was really looking another soda by Hansen’s Natural. This one smells a lot like strawberry cand...
