Cheerwine

Ever heard of it? It's a cherry flavored soft drink, for those of you who haven't tried it. It's okay, but it basically tastes like maraschino cherry juice with sparkling water. In my last article, I talked about how Coca-Cola had more caramel coloring than flavoring. I decided to check out some more sodas.

The ingredients for Cheerwine are:

1. Carbonated Water
2. High Fructose Corn Syrup
3. Caramel Color
4. Phosphoric Acid
5. Natural and Artificial Flavors
6. Artificial Cherry Flavor
   
7. Caffeine
8. Citric Acid
9. Sodium Benzoate (to protect flavor)
10. Red 40

Again, this means there is more Caramel Color than flavoring!!!
And, umm... are there any cherries in there???

More to come soon
