Sprite Vanilla Frost

Here we have a limited edition flavor from Sprite that was released this past winter. I had picked up a bottle in February but forgot about it in the fridge for a little while, though its still perfectly good. Of course this is a mass produced brand so it uses high fructose corn syrup and weighs in with a 20 oz bottle rather than the 12 oz bottles that are more typical of smaller producers. Opening it releases a powerful vanilla scent. There's no traditional taste of Sprite's lemon-lime blended in here, this tastes like an entirely different drink. It's quite vanilla forward, though not heavy handed or too candy-like. With "frost" in the name, I'd expected something more like that "frost" or "ice" flavoring used in some of the gatorade flavors. Overall, it's nothing to write home about, just sort of "meh".
