Actual Flavor: It tastes clear- like Sprite without the Lemon-Lime
Color: Red. Very Red.
Tasting sample was from: 330 ml. can, poured into glass
TIZER- IT’Z RED
A play in one act
Characters: Tim, Debbie
Setting: Modern times, in a family room.
(Tim enters the room with a glass of bright red soda. Debbie is seated)
Debbie: What’s that?
Tim: It’z Red.
Debbie (mildly annoyed): I can see that.
Tim: It’z Red. That’s what it’s called. It’z Red…or Tizer.
Debbie: Weird.
(Tim takes a sniff)
Debbie: What’s it smell like?
Tim: Nothing. It has no smell.
(Tim takes a drink)
Debbie: So what does it tastes like.
Tim (incredulous): Nothing. It tastes like nothing.
Debbie: That’s crazy.
(Tim continues to drink)
Tim: Maybe it tastes like Sprite, if Sprite wasn’t Lemon-Lime. It’s just sweet, no other taste.
(Tim drinks more)
Debbie: Huh.
Tim (sticking out tongue, then excitedly): So , is my tongue red?
Debbie: No.
Tim (sadly): Huh. It says on the can "May stain clothing if spilt."
Debbie: Well, your tongue is different than clothing. And it’s already pink to begin with. So it won’t stain your tongue.
Tim (firmly): What’s the point, then?
-The End-
Rating: 0 out of 10.
Perhaps its apple Tizer? You drink it before the email casserole, then you wash it down with Tango Apple.
