Root Beer Extravaganza part banana

This post is going to be short and sweet. The things I do for the benefit of you, the reader. I'm not terribly fond of this soda to begin with, especially when not using it for making floats (lack of ice cream be damned), so I can say with the utmost certainty with the knowledge that nothing is certain, that I will never again attempt to partake of this beverage. Anyway, I was unable to procure myself a bottle of Frostop, so unfortunately I only have 2 root beers to try today, Dad's Root Beer, and the local grocery store generic Super Chill. Since there are only 2 flavors in this section, I will only declare a winner.

Headiness: Dad's. The Dad's brand instantly foamed, leaving a nice head which lasted for a fair amount of time. Super Chill on the other hand had almost no head at all and it was gone in almost no time.

Scent: Super Chill. The Dad's brand had a very strong aroma, however I found the Super Chill's aroma to be more pleasant, as the Dad's tended to smell of rotting licorice.

Fizziness: Dad's. Similar to the headiness category, the Dad's brand was much fizzier, while the Super Chill was very flat.

Taste: Dad's. While the Super Chill was more pleasant smelling, the flavor was incredibly lacking and the stronger scented Dad's brand was much more pleasant tasting, with the right amount of flavor and smoothness.

Winner: Dad's. This one is no contest. The Super Chill is in almost all ways inferior to the Dad's Root Beer, and I would recommend it 100 out of 100 times in comparison.

Overall Winner: I'm going to go with the generic Wal*Mart brand, simply because I think it's equally as good as any of the brands I tasted, and economically it's nearly 50% the cost. Dad's would be second, but it's a very close call between #1 and #2.

Next blog will be up sometime Tuesday, will try to keep the Tuesday/Thursday format until I run out of ideas, so please keep suggestions coming!
