Leninade

What was once hard to get, slowly spread around and now you can find Leninade at numerous places that stock large selections of sodas. This soda is another Real Soda creation. Real Soda isn't an old company but they carved out a niche for themselves recreating old soda brands that had previously been discontinued. In addition they have created many of their own labels, Leninade being one of them. While the title is an obvious play on words, they went a bit over board with pun-filled slogans on the bottle. It's as if they came up with so many ideas for slogans that they just decided to use them all, but maybe that's part of their appeal. Maybe someday their website won't still look as though it was created in 1993.

I enjoy the nice pink lemonade aroma it has. The carbonation is light, but it should be for a lemonade variant of any kind. The flavor is that of a pink lemonade with a hint of grapefruit, however the flavor is a bit weak. I was expecting something stronger when a bottle says, "Get hammered & sickled," but I guess it's just another pun. It's not a spectacular drink, but more of an "it'll do" that's covered with little chuckles.
