Soda and Candy

Here's two quick reviews on 7Up Plus and Reese's cookies:

• 7Up Plus is Cherry 7Up with a new label. Somewhere in a wherehouse hidden in some red state are millions of bottles of unsold Cherry 7Up. The company thought it would be a good idea to slap on a new label and try selling it again. It's pink and tastes like the old soda. A light, not-too-sweet, slightly tart flavor tickles your tongue. The supposed nutrional benefits from the added fruit juice, calcium, and vitamin C mean zilch to me.

• The Reese's cookies looked like the Thin Mints you can buy from the local Girl Scout troop. It tasted like how I'd expect: crunchy chocolate wafer, smooth peanut butter, and smothered in chocolate. They're nice change of pace when getting my peanut butter/chocolate fix.
