Einstein didn’t die—he’s been working in R&D for Sprite. At least, it certainly seems that way because those geniuses keep cranking out innovations like Sprite Chill. Original Sprite’s lemon-lime flavor profile is already brilliant. But, as is the case in both our personal lives, we wanted more chill. Luckily, our demands were heard and the scientists at Coca-Cola got to work. (On the drink, that is. They told us they were not at liberty to address our personal lives.) But what is Sprite Chill?

Credit: Liv Averett / Team Supernova It’s been a tough road for Hard Mountain Dew. The spiked version of Mountain Dew (which comes in at 5% ABV) originally dropped in just a handful of states on 2/22/22 (aka 2sday). It continued rolling out—slowly but surely—one state at a time.

Here’s everything you didn’t know you wanted to know about Big Red soda. Popular in the South, Big Red soda is a bold red soda with a very particular flavor that many have likened to bubble gum.

Credit: Liv Averett / Red Bull I can’t go a week without writing about a new Red Bull flavor. Just four days ago, I submitted my review of this year’s Spring Edition flavor and now I’m here to talk about this year’s Summer Edition.
