Oh boy, where to begin with this one. These Shaq Sodas were actually produced by AriZona Beverages. Yes, the same ones famous for AriZona Iced Teas in the "tall boy" 23.5oz. cans that are famously known for still being priced at $0.99. I don't drink iced tea so knew little about AriZona Beverages, but I have come to find out they aren't from Arizona, but actually based in Brooklyn, New York, where Don Vultaggio founded the company in 1992. This can was actually gifted to me, I haven't seen these in the wild. But there were apparently four flavors in the series, vanilla cream, blueberry cream, orange cream, and strawberry cream, all of which have been discontinued.
It has an old-fashioned cream soda smell you'd imagine from a higher priced cream soda. I find it comes on smooth at first, but with a few more sips it leaves a bit of a strange aftertaste. I wish the cream flavor was stronger. It comes across with a very weak flavor, much too bland.
