I was super excited for this to hit the market as I am an avid soda drinker and I don’t like most sparkling beverages. This did not disappoint! As you can tell from the logo right off the bat it is a supposed “Mountain Dew-esque” drink and they hit that flavour right on point! It's the perfect tart lemon-lime citrus pop we all know but maybe made with a little extra love? With the added 30mg of caffeine I have made this a part of my roster of regular purchases. 


Drinks have come a long way since legalization, and we all cumulatively feel a certain way about other brands. I get excited every time a new one hits the sales floor because I never know what they will come up with next!! Now I don’t personally taste any cannabis in the initial taste or afterwards and I think that is very hard to do! Valen's should pat themselves on the back for that one! 


Now let’s touch on the packaging. I love the 355ml can but I don't prefer the slide/pop top that is supposed to be resealable?! It's difficult to get under to pop and slide, and half the customers I talk to can’t understand the images they have on the top of the can trying to explain how to get into said product. Resealable is a very broad term, I would say you can slide it closed and put it in your fridge for later use. But I wouldn’t toss it in your bag after breaking the seal. 


I’m only speaking on the effects due to the 30mg of added caffeine which is roughly the equivalent to a cup of tea. 10mg of THC doesn’t do anything to me on its own, my tolerance level is too high but it perks me up in my midday slump or at the end of the day just to get a couple more things done before bed. #PoweredbySorse gives a quick and consistent onset for those who do have a lower tolerance level and helps make new users more comfortable with dosing. 


I like to pair it with popcorn and a movie on those lazy Friday nights. For the average smoker with a tolerance level like mine, give it a shot just to chase those pasties away! Or pair it with your regular edible nights for a change up from gummies!
