A group of eight of us at work held a Orange Soda Taste Test. We sampled 2 oz. servings of ten different orange sodas:

Orange Crush
Sunkist
Tropicana Twister
Fanta
Boylan Bottleworks
Stewart’s Orange & Creme
Aranciata
Barillitos (Tangerine)
Safeway Select
Orangette (Sam’s Club)

After the tasting, we each ranked out top 3 and bottom 3. There were two runaway winners for best, with Orange Crush coming out on top on 7 of 8 ballots with 4 #1 rankings, followed by Sunkist (7 of 8 with 1 #1) and Tropicana Twister (4 of 8 with 1 #1). Boylan and Stewart's each got one ballot with one first place ranking).

There was also a runaway winner for worst, with Sam’s Club Orangette coming in on every single bottom 3 ballot and with six last place votes. No surprise, since it was so dreadful (actually, when drunk seperately, I've found it halfway decent, but up against the others it's flaws shone through). In fact, one has to wonder what the two people who didn’t vote it last were thinking. They chose Aranciata, which admittedly is an acquired taste and came in next to last, followed by Safeway Select.

Next up this week: Colas. We are doing it as a blind taste test and have:

KP Coke
Coke Classic
Pepsi
RC
Jolt
Cricket
Soho
Shasta
Boylan
