Name: Faygo Dee-licious Peach, or Faygo Peach
Alleged Flavor: Uh, Peach
Actual Flavor: Peach, but in an artificial way
Fruit Juice Content: Zippo
Carbonation Level: Low- a few visable bubbles, light fizziness on the tongue
Color: A fiery red-orange, like the color of a peach where it was pulled away from the pit. Nice!
Tasting sample was from: aluminum can, poured into glass

So I like out of the norm soda, especially fruit flavors you don’t see every day. And rarely do you see peach soda in this neck of the woods.

My first can of Faygo Peach was unimpressive- I drank it from the can, I don’t think it was too cold, and I drank it quickly. My first impression was that it was a little metallic, and very artificial tasting.

But, I bought a 12 pack of the stuff, so I gave it another shot. Ice cold. Poured into a glass. Man, what a cool color this stuff has. Looks good in the glass, although a few more bubbles would be nice.

I could taste the peach flavor better this time around, and it’s actually not bad. The smell is spot on, and the peach taste is still a tad artificial, but passable.

Overall Rating: 6.5 out of 10

Disturbing Fact: I went looking for a picture of Peach Faygo and found this site. Well, I guess this truly is a jackass soda.

Names for my imaginary band

Coming up with fake band names is nothing new, but my blog is, so let me indulge my whim and share a few of mine with you.

If you have an actual band, e-mail me and I’ll let you have one. The going rate is one (1) icy cold beer.

The Blue States- a recent thought, and one that will bring you a certain audience. Touring would be tough, you’d have to skip whole chunks of the U.S.

King Moonracer- if that name didn’t seem familiar, click here.

Vomitsva- one I’ve been carrying around since high school. If it doesn’t make sense, you may be putting emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle…try voMITsva. Destined to play sophomoric punk, with more than one song about B.M.s.

The Wallet and The Watch- as in "this is a stick-up, hand over…". Probably electronic, more than likely pretentious.

This Little Piggy- cutesy-poo indie pop…look for them on K Records.

Farmer’s Blow- I recommended this one to my buddy Shane when he was starting up a country band. He didn’t bite. Granted, most folks would leave out the apostrophe, and what was meant as a reference to a down and dirty way of cleaning one’s nose would turn into an insult to the band’s target demographic. Note: Shane’s new bluegrass project is called The Right Turn Clydes. I wish I had thought of that one. Look for them in North Carolina.

If the name The Right Turn Clydes didn’t mean anything to you, you better check yo’self…

F.D.R. Kelly- I just thought of that one, and damn, it’s pretty good. It’s not as good as JFKFC, a punk band from the 90s. They even had an awesome logo. I’m not sure if F.D.R. Kelly’s logo should be F.D.R. pimped out, or R. Kelly in a wheelchair with a cigar. Either way, you can’t lose.

I’m sure I’ll have more soon. In the meantime, you can mess around with the band name generator- that is, if you’re done making church signs.
