One of my more frequently unpopular opinions is that I tend to love banana-flavored stuff: milkshakes, Laffy Taffy, ice cream, etc. But I had never thought about banana soda before, so when I saw this offering, which is produced in Trinidad and Tobago, it was instantly added to my must-try list.
I regret to inform you that not only does this not compare to those other banana-flavored items I love, it is in fact pretty much undrinkable. This might be the worst-tasting soda I have ever had. It smells enough like a banana-flavored candy product (actually reminding me somewhat of candy circus peanuts), but the taste is nothing remotely enjoyable. Some adjectives that could attempt to describe it: fermented, chemical, sour, expired, toxic. I truly could not make it more than three sips into this bottle. I would be interested to try other Solo flavors (they have a ginger ale, a cream soda, and a "Caribbean cola" apparently akin to bubblegum) to see if the problem is just with the banana variety, but I definitely won't be touching this one ever again.
