This is another long overdue entry. This taste test was the culmination of a few conversations Gabe and I had about which "refrescos" we thought were the best. So we decided to figure it out!
We drove all over Constanza one saturday afternoon to gather as many different types of each flavor that we were testing (rojo, grape, and orange). We weren't able to find all the different brands that we wanted but we still managed to come up with a good haul.
Allllll of our flavors!
In order to make it as accurate as possible, we had the tester sit down and we blindfolded them. We decided to try all 3 brands of the same flavor, in the same sitting. So whoever was going would drink one brand, rate it on a scale of 1-10, and then wait as we rinsed it out and filled it with another brand and repeated.

Taste test in action.
I'm not sure how much we actually figured out from this taste test, but I do know that it was one of my favorite random activities we've had since I've been living here. It was fun to be spontaneous and do something as stupid as a soda taste test but we had a blast!
The winning brands! Kola Real and Fanta tied for orange,
Kola Real won for Grape, and Country Club won for Rojo.
Our "reward" for finishing the test was a "manzana verde" or green apple refresco which we can all agree on being delicious!
Not sure exactly what we're doing, but the manzana verdes
taste great!
Over the past few weeks we have started to have some "movie nights" at my apartment as well. We pick out a movie (usually we have enough movies lined up for about 15 movie nights..) and then Gabe and Isaiah will come over and we'll make dinner and have some soda and watch the movie. It is a fun time, and always good to change up the normal routine of life every once in a while.
