Natural Soda Review: Switch

Rating: C

Based on a A-F grade scale.

Cost and where to buy: I purchased the Switched Variety Pack through Amazon.com.  The original price was 22.99 for a 24 pack. I paid 19.54 when I subscribed and saved with free shipping.  

About the Product: The cans are smaller than normal cans at  8 oz  per can.   The flavors are strawberry watermelon, lemon lime, orange tangerine,  black cherry, Kiwi berry and grape.  These sodas are actually carbonated juice.  Switch sodas have no added sugar and no artificial flavors.  The only flavors I found tolerable was the black cherry and orange tangerine.  These sodas are simply too sweet to enjoy.  The orange tangerine and black cherry are the only ones I would drink.  Although these cans are much smaller then normal  I find it extremely hard to finish a can because it is too sweet.  

Points to consider: Please keep in mind that the sugar is not added sugar but simply the sugar that comes from the fruit's juice.  So although Pepsi and Coke have less than 35grams of sugar the body has an easier way to deal with natural sugars in fruits then added sugar.  Also keep in mind that sodas like Pepsi and coke have other chemicals to sweeten the the beverage (High Fructose Corn Syrup). 

Who I recommend it to:   This would be perfect for  a child's birthday party, as children tend to tolerate the super sweet taste.  Switch sodas would be a great way to get someone off of the harmful sodas that are easily available.  Natural sugars found in fruits help satiate sugar cravings. 

Would I buy it again:   No.  I would not buy this for myself again.  I still have a few cans left, that I have for friends and family.   I  just can't tolerate the super sweet taste.

Hope this article helps you.  I will reviewing a few other natural sodas soon.
