I want to wash out my mouth with soap. It would taste better.

Recently, Price Chopper jumped on the organic foods bandwagon and introduced a brand called Wild Oats. They even had two coupons in their sale flyer recently, so I clipped them and went happily to the Chopper to pickup some discounted organic eats.

One coupon was $1 off any Wild Oats brand item. I opted for this delicious looking Orange Tangerine natural soda. It was a nice orange color, decent packaging, and usually natural sodas are pretty tasty. Not this one. This nastiness tasted like old musty orange drink. Drink, not juice. It was gross, and a total waste of money on my part and effort on theirs. What a disappointment.

If you're looking for a natural soda, I'd say, try Hansen's. For orange soda, Polar Orange Dry is my pick any day. Regular, not diet.

Update!
I emailed Wild Oats with my complaint:

Dear Wild Oats,

I recently purchased Wild Oats Natural Orange Tangerine Italian Soda, and
was completely dissatisfied. The product tasted old, and didn\'t really
taste like tangerine at all. I only had one glass and discarded more than
half the bottle. I paid $.99 for it (priced at 1.99 - 1.00 off coupon.)
The cap says: Prod:052606, best by 082607. It is not out of date.

So...not sure if it's a bad batch, but the bottle says Satisfaction
Guaranteed and I am not satisfied.

Here's the reply (which came just three hours later):

Thank you for contacting Wild Oats with your comments. I am sorry to hear
about your poor experience with our soda. I would like to offer you a coupon
to replace this item. If you are interested, please reply with your address
and I will get one in the mail for you right away.

Thanks, Mom, for making the suggestion to contact them!
