5. Yeah, that is the issue. Sweet but the flavor is weaker than comparable ones.

Crush makes better grape, orange, and strawberry. A&W is a better root beer, etc. Coke and Pepsi are dramatically better, Faygo Cola has a weird flavor I recall as "dusty" or "old". Their diet formulas still use saccharin so are noticeably bitter compared to brands using sucralose.

To be fair, I haven't tasted any flavor of Faygo in a few years. Maybe it improved.

I'm waiting to be tarred and feathered by the Detroit pop purists for my heresy.
