I tried those at a Quik Trip gas station. Not too bad, but I'm pretty
sure the cherry flavor and the vanilla were just a cherry soda and cream
soda. They seemed to squirt out with as much volume as any of the
regular flavors, anyway. Try a straight shot of either without
diluting, and see if I'm right. I'd do it, but after moving the nearest
Quik Trip is 200 miles north.
