Hansen’s Natural Ginger Ale Cane Soda Review (Soda Tasting #164)

Thanks to the positive response and requests for more, I’ve decided to continue doing […]

CORRECTION: In the video, for some reason, when I’m reading the ingredients, I say Washington strawberries. This should be Washington cherries. What’s your favorite soda that has added a kick of vanilla? Please let me know in the comments. Thank you for […]
