#18: Vernors Diet Ginger Soda: one sweet beverage...

8/1/2012

Picture
    Our latest brand new food is actually a beverage. Vernors Ginger Soda was invented by pharmacist James Vernor in 1866 in Detroit, MI. Legend has it that before being called off to war, Vernor combined several tasty and unique ingredients in a barrel to age. When Vernor returned home, he was amazed to discover the delicious product that resulted.
 
    The Vernor family originally sold the company in 1966. The brand is now part of the Dr. Pepper-Snapple Group.

"Vernor's 1-calorie",  introduced in 1962, later became Diet Vernors. 

What we liked:
    Vernors Diet Ginger Soda is highly carbonated, has a light, golden caramel color, and a smooth, rich taste. Comments from our taste panel included "refreshing", "sharp ginger flavor but not overpowering", "fizzy w/creamy aftertaste", "holiday tradition that I'd drink all year", and "I'd go out of my way to find this ginger ale".


Did you know?
Some people enjoy drinking Vernors hot to cure stomachache.

Vernor's dropped its apostrophe and is known as "Vernors".

Ingredients:
    Carbonated water, aspartame, citric acid, caramel color, sodium benzoate (preservative), natural/artificial flavors, potassium citrate

Why is there no "fizz" in Vernors ginger ale? I had not had Vernor's Ginger ale in a long time, but as I recall it was carbonated .My recent purchases have been "flat".

These are 16.9 fluid ounce bottles - upc 0 7800018042 8
