After a brief hiatus and a night of vomiting buffalo wing soda, I've decided to once again put my taste buds (and colon) to task by attempting to try something weird and unique every day in the month of May. In an attempt to change things up a bit, I've included weird foods to the list of awful possibilities as well, which I'm sure will be a great decision that I don't live to regret whatsoever. If I make it to June 1st in tact, I'm getting a colon cleanse!
So let's kick things off with day one from the "reputable" folks at Swamp Pop with their offering of Satsuma Fizz. What's a Satsuma you may ask? I have no idea, and had to go to their website just to get an idea of what I'm getting myself in to. Here's what they had to say:
"If you find yourself in Louisiana’s Livingston Parish, head south on Cane Market Road and you’ll run right into Satsuma, Louisiana, a town named after the plump, sweet satsuma – a favorite snack in south Louisiana. Devoted fans (and those fortunate enough to have a satsuma tree in the yard) wait all year long to snap them off the branch and taste the sweet, aromatic fruit. Swamp Pop Satsuma Fizz captures the experience of this popular Louisiana citrus fruit & can be enjoyed all year round!"
I Googled Louisiana's Livingston Parish and this was one of the first images that came up. I'll probably cancel my summer trip there, but I suppose I can still try some Swamp Pop since I'm confident this gentleman is currently behind bars and not looking to cut me open for my sweet satsuma insides.
Proudly displayed on the bottle is "Contains No Fruit Juice" just in case you didn't know what you were getting into here. It's a light orange color and smells faintly of tangerines. I think it's time to give this one a taste.

It's definitely an orange pop. Not quite as fizzy as the name would suggest. Did they ever make carbonated Tang? That's essentially what this is. Not terrible and not a bad first outing in this marathon. I give it 3.5 out of 5 Livingston Parish Criminal Stars. OK well that's one down; I think I'll go for a food item tomorrow...good luck stomach!
