I had the chance to try Tropical 7-UP (the zero-calorie iteration) the other day. It's the latest promotional flavor out there (after initially being a Kroger exclusive) and I'm a sucker for gimmick sodas, of course, so I had to get some. When Samii and I tried it we noticed it tasted heavily of mango and had a hint of peach (peaches aren't tropical either, but whatever) with 7-UP. What's interesting is that compared to its closest competitor (Sprite), 7-UP has always had a lighter and gentler taste. That isn't the case with the Tropical iteration, as the mango flavor comes right up and makes its presence known. Hence, Tropical 7-UP almost reminds me of Sprite more than regular 7-UP, as weird as that sounds--and it's not a bad thing!
If you've ever thought 7-UP tasted a bit too, "Weak," then you'll probably quite like this new Tropical 7-UP as it isn't scared to throw the tropical tastes at you. I enjoyed drinking it and find it evokes the flavors of Summer in a pleasant way. It's worth trying, in other words.
4 out of 5 Stars.
