Odesskiy Brand Orange Nectar


Found this nectar/juice outside on Brighton Beach "food clearance table" for $0.79. It was expired for a while, but this didn't deter me from purchasing a carton. Sweet, pleasant flavor. Would buy it again.

Azul Coconut Juice




Tastes like very sweet water. I don't like it.

Small Town Brewery's Not Your Father's Root Beer




Got a bottle of this hard root beer for under $3.00 at Stop and Shop if I remember right, over a half a year ago. Too sweet and cloying, almost syrupy; had to cut with water and ice. Not bad thereafter but the alcohol presence and buzz-kick was almost null. I think that the manufacturer could take another look into the formula of this root beer.

Turkey Hill Diet Blackberry Sweet Tea


Another clearance beverage here; this time its a diet flavored sweet tea. I periodically keep an eye on the jugged tea bottles' dates so I could snag them on clearance, and this was the right time for me to buy this bottle. Its a fairly pleasant diet sweet tea, with a reasonable addition of blackberry flavor to it. I bought several Turkey Hill tea products before and to tell the truth, I think that they are a little bit more pleasant than the AriZona tea. The diet sweetener is not that bad in this tea, but there is a trade-off of flavor with every diet, but it could've been worse; some diet sweeteners could be awful. Good product. I like it. I'd buy it again, especially for  a dollar.

Real Sugar Wild Cherry Pepsi Cola


A slightly softer version of regular Wild Cherry Pepsi. I find regular Wild Cherry Pepsi to be more crisp, this one I'd say is for old people.

Pierre Boneless Pork Riblets




Great shit right here: my favorite Ribwich-type of meat in convenient jumbo nugget-sized pieces. Wrapper claims "ready in 1 minute" but I give 'em 2 minutes for that extra baked-in taste. I've bought several dozens of these rib nuggets from different Dollar Tree locations in my area; pretty much cleared the shelves off these nuggets and found out that generally you get 7 nuggets, but couple of times I got 10!!! Good greasy taste, great BBQ sauce, great price; the only downside is that you gotta be carefully of the bones that may be inside the nuggets. The bone fragments go as wide as 4-5mm and can possibly break your teeth! Otherwise great shit; if you see these - buy them!

Tropicana Trop50 Raspberry Lemonade


Got this beverage on the last day of the best before date on clearance for $0.99 and its a pretty much pleasant fruit cocktail with supposedly half he sugar. I would buy it again on clearance but wouldn't pay the full price

Brooklyn Bottling Corp Crystal Light Flavored Seltzer


I found a pack of Crystal Light drink mix in my bag, so I added it to seltzer, which in turn gave some taste to it. Kinda like soda but not really.

Brooklyn Bottling Corp Seltzer


 Got this seltzer at the Riteway store about 5 months ago for $0.49 and it tasted like an average seltzer; I couldn't tell the difference compared to other brands of seltzers.

Welch's Strawberry Breeze


Great-tasting cocktail type of a "juice" that I snagged for $0.99. Welch's products are not that often on sale in my area.

Stop & Shop Strawberry Soda



Pretty good strawberry soda that I got at Stop & Shop for $0.77. It has nice carbonation, and thats the thing that I was concerned about. Too bad that the nearest Stop & Shop is far from me, otherwise the $0.77 price for 2-liter bottles is pretty cheap, and they have wide selection of their private label of sodas.

Mom's Compote


Mom made this tasty compote out of water, sugar, apples, plums, raspberries and blueberries.

Pomtini Mountain Dew Baja Blast





Another one of my Baja Blast mixes, this time with Crystal Light Pomtini liquid flavor enchancer. This is perhaps the most interesting Baja Blast mix that I done so far: pomegranate flavor addition to Baja Blast makes it more enjoyable and a tid-bit sweeter. Too bad there's no more Baja Blast available for purchase in the stores.

Kiwi Strawberry Big Burst



Bought this drink over at ghetto grocery in Queens for $0.50. Too bad that the local grocery stores in Brooklyn stopped carrying these types of drinks in the fridges, actually any drink below $1.00 [other than 12oz cans and AirZonas] is a rare find these days. This drink brings back childhood memories where you could buy a number of things for under $1.00. The drink itself tastes like a kiwi strawberry "drink". The "drink" is not juice or a cocktail: its pretty much Flavor-Aid kind of liquid that get its taste due to the plastic container. Its pretty much the same kind of fluid/drink that goes into Fla-Vor-Ice type of ice pops. I always buy a couple [usually 4 for $2.00] whenever I'm in the area.

Mountain Dew Baja Blast Coca-Cola




Pretty interesting and tasty mix of Coke and Baja Blast. Initially I added only a little bit of Coke, but then sipped the thing and decided to do about half and half and the result was much better than the initial one. Too bad that Baja Blast is all sold out. I had 1 more bottle left in the fridge, but I bought a Gulp of Solar Flare today over at 7-Eleven, and mixed it with the remaining bottle of Baja Blast.

Juices of Ukraine Light Cherry Nectar



Great-tasting sweet cherry nectar that I got in the Russian store for $1.00 on clearance. Expiration date was 5 months overboard, but I still bought it since I never had a problem with expired juices before. Went back next day with a plan to get 4-6 more boxes, but they all sold-out. Did not see it at any other Russian stores. The taste is nectary-smooth with sweet real-tasting cherry flavor to it.

Shippi Tarhun




Very good quality tarhun soda with nice amount of carbonation and even scent that is close to tarhun from Soviet Union. Taste is close to Iz Chernogolovki tarhun but the scent is even better. I think that this 16.9oz bottle for around $1.69-$1.79 + tax and deposit in the NetCost Market. This one is really worth it and I will get more of it in the future.
