Frostie Diet Root Beer

Frostie has existed since 1939 when George Rackensperger founded Frostie Beverage Co. in an abandoned Catonsville, Maryland jailhouse. Frostie was sold to Monarch Beverage in 1979 and sold again in 2000, and finally sold to Intrastate Distributors in 2009. Intrastate currently bottles Frostie and Kist brand sodas out of Detroit. The "old man winter" character has been the icon of Frostie for generations.

Frostie is chock full of carbonation and has an appetizing scent. It is, however, what you might expect from a diet soda... that is to say it has a slight chemical tasting bent to it. When it comes to diet sodas more often than not I say stick to the full carb, full calorie version and this one is no exception.
