3.0 out of 5 stars Switch has true tangerine-orange flavors but it's too sweet despite having "no added sugars"., March 2, 2009

(What's this?)

The Switch Orange Tangerine soda is an attempt to made a fruit soda with real fruit juice, real fruit flavor, and no added sugar. They have mostly succeeded. In the glass, the Switch looks like juice. It is lightly but distinctly carbonated and easy to drink. The orange and tangerine flavors are true - none of the "burn" of fake orange flavor. The hit of tangerine is really nice and I greatly enjoyed the flavor. My problem with the Switch was that it was too sweet for my taste. I was surprised at the how sweet it was given the advertised "no added sugar". The ingredient list mentions grape and apple juice concentrates. That's how they get the sugars in without adding sugar. Fruit juice concentrates are loaded with natural fruit sugars. The nutritional label tells the story: the 8.3 oz can has 34 grams of sugar! That's more than Cocoa Cola (27 grams per 8 oz). Bottom line - this is just too sweet for me. It's too bad because the flavors are awesome. If you have a sweet tooth, maybe this is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Apfelsaftschorle for Americans, March 3, 2009

(What's this?)

Living in Germany for several years, I acquired a taste for Apfelsaftschorle or schorle for short, apple juice and sparkling water. The soda water cuts the sweetness, gives the juice a little tang, and makes the drink a better hydrator; the juice makes the soda water a little more interesting. I usually drink any fruit juice this way now.

Switch premakes my schorle. The blend was and orange citrus rather than apple, but very good regardless. I tried it straight, but it would have been better over ice or if it had been mixed with a little more soda water and a little less juice. The ingredients were juice, sparkling water, and a couple of stabilizers, without two of my pet peeves; artificial color, especially red 40, and high fructose corn syrup.

I enjoyed it and can recommend it as an excellent alternative to conventional soda.

2.0 out of 5 stars Switch? Ummm ... no., June 27, 2009

I was looking forward to tasting the Switch Orange Tangerine drink since orange and tangerine flavors are two of my favorite but I was disappointed in the result.

It was tangy. It tasted of ascorbic acid. It smelled of orange candy. It reminded me of breakfast. It reminded me of, yes, powdered Tang mixed with carbonated water followed by a strong unpleasant artificial aftertaste. I found the the drink to be, simply, not very good.

I tried to like the beverage and I did appreciate the concept but considering the unusual flavors, high calorie count of 140 cals/8.5 oz, and cost of almost a dollar/serving -- I cannot recommend Switch.
