BevNET Review: Shirley Temple soda is a unique product that provides a refreshing and authentic interpretation of an old-fashioned Shirley Temple. In fact, this beverage is so authentic that each bottle has its very own maraschino cherry inside -- a first as far as we know. While the concept behind this product is wholesome and nostalgic, this product has a couple of issues which mainly stem from the manufacturer's desire to bill this as a product for kids. Specifically, the appearance of the product make the product look adult and old-fashioned rather than something that will appeal to a child or teen. In addition, the product's tag line of "the soda kids will love" is one that seems to ignore all of the negative press currently surrounding children and carbonated soft drinks. In our opinion, this product is essentially a novelty product that fits in with other classic beverages, such as the egg cream. There will always be a market for a product like this, but a small one at best.

Never drank the final product, but I was involved in designing, fabricating, and building the automated machine to insert the cherry into the bottle at 400 cherries per minute. You have to love NewJersey ingenuity!!

Horrible Beverage- a poor copy of an existing drink

The drink is horrible and they have used the name Shirley Temple that has been used by other beverage companies prior to this company being in business. It's a very poor copy of an existing beverage. No response from the company upon inquiry.

cough medicine or soda?
1 stars1 stars1 stars1 stars1 stars

The beverage tasted like carbonated cough medicine with a cherry. The cherry could slip out of the bottle and could choke a person, especially a child. When attempting to contact the company it seems as though they are nowhere to be found. Their website is closed down and the toll free number is now for a doctors office. Stay Away!
