MAYrathon 2.0 Day 29 - Wink Citrus Soda

I'm in Myrtle Beach having fun right now, so this will be a super quick entry. I've experienced a lot of regional stuff on this road trip - food, beer and even soda. While walking through the local Food Lion grocery store, there was a huge display for Wink Soda. I had never even heard of such a thing.

Quick Wiki research - It's been around since 1965 and is owned by the Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group. Besides Canada, the only states it can be found in is Pennsylvania, Virginia and the Carolinas so this is definitely a regional treat. Though known as a citrus soda comparable to Squirt, Wink does actually contain real apple and orange juice. Twisting open the liter bottle and giving it a sniff, it definitely smells like Squirt or Sun Drop. Tastes pretty similar too, but with a bit of a chemical aftertaste like the butter soda had. Not bad - Now to get my pasty white ass to the beach!
