Quick Review: Snapple Raspberry Tea

I bought this for a $1.29 at a local gas station feeling adventurous. I have never had raspberry tea before, so I picked this up to discover something new. Back when half and half was my favorite tea, sweet tea supplanted it with ease once I started drinking more and more. Excited about possibly finding a new heir to the throne, I opened this up and took a drink. The flavor is very tart. I wouldn’t call it sour, but it makes your lips pucker a little. The raspberry taste was prevalent, but also overpowering. I am not a huge fan of raspberries in the first place, so I wasn’t the least bit surprised. My advice is to stay away from this drink. If you enjoy the tart flavor of raspberries, be my guest. But for the rest of the population, this drink gets my stamp of disapproval. 3/10 

Quick Review: Diet Snapple Half 'n Half

Half and half is another form of tea that I love. To me, lemonade and iced tea go hand-in-hand. I inherited the taste from my brother, who first showed me the drink a few years back during a house party. Ever since then, I have been picking up different brands of half and half to see who does it the best. I bought a 6-pack of Diet Snapple Half ‘n Half for $4.99 at Kroger. I had a dollar off coupon, which is the only reason why I even considered buying them. I wasn’t expecting your typical half and half taste from a diet 10 calorie drink, but I bought it anyway so I could check it off my list. The taste was exactly what I expected. A bland, chemically taste shared by most diet drinks. However, the half and half flavor was still there and noticeable. I have had better half and half, but if you are a dieter looking for a drink that won’t bust your calorie count and are accustomed to the diet taste, this is a good drink for you. Non-dieters, just get the regular kind. The extra calories are well worth it for the taste. 6/10
