(Mix Case) Premium Soda Orca Choice 12 Pack

I’m gonna give five stars because the product is great. The diversity of old Time photos is worth the money. The bottle of cream beer soda was broken in the box. The seller did a good job of packing every bottle separately in bubble wrap, but the box was really inferior, and both ends of the bottles of all of them were up against the sides, which put pressure on them during shipping so I would suggest to the seller to get a slightly bigger box pack them like you did but also provide packing on the tops and bottles of the box so if the box doesn’t get bounced around, you’re not breaking in the bottles. But I will buy again.

The different varieties of drinks I have never tried before was pleasantly surprising. I do think they are too expensive for me, so I won’t be ordering them again; except for future holidays.You don’t offer Veterans or Seniors discount; so I can’t afford to reorder.

To many cream sodas in case for me

All of the bottles arrived intact and they were well packaged. I found the flavor of the Orca sodas to be a little more pronounced than the Dublin sodas. The box contained 12 sodas, no duplicates and only one soda I see in my local supermarket. All contained cane sugar; Orca does do a couple sugar-free but thankfully none were in my box. They produce craft sodas in small batches so there is no guarantee as to what you get, but I was happy with the selection. Two of the sodas were from my childhood that I hadn't tasted in 50 years which was quite a hoot. Orca claims they have obtained the original recipes and I cannot refute that. Price is a little over $3 a bottle but that includes shipping. One note: many of the flavors contain artificial dyes as they did in their original incarnations. This is not health food but at $3 a bottle you are likely to drink in moderation. It is a shame high fructose corn syrup and major brands have pushed these small regional brands to extinction. Thank to Orca for bringing them back.

We were very excited to see classic sodas available to be shipped, we ordered based on the sodas showing in the picture. Received the sodas and was extremely disappointed in the variety sent to us, not one single soda that was in the picture came in our delivery. Three different variations of cola, and at least two vanilla cream sodas. Would not recommend to anyone.

Nice that they finally got here after over two weeks. The box they came in was the most destroyed looking thing that has ever been delivered to my door. Each bottle was wrapped in bubble-wrap, however, one was empty except for perhaps a teaspoon full on the bottom - the cap was on so it leaked out someplace, the other bottle was so smashed I could not even tell what it was supposed to. Did that not happen last time? The sugary, sticky liquid from the two bottles got all over the wrappings of the ten bottles that survived but everything just felt so sticky. After enjoying what is left of the shipment, I think I will stick to Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper - maybe try again next summer.

From their website, Orca Beverage sells a very wide variety of specialty sodas, and this twelve-bottle assortment is completely random. I have no idea if they safeguard against duplicates, but I didn't get any.A review of the assortment I personally received:Sioux City Root Beer: A very-not-bad root beer. I could drink it again.Sioux City Birch Beer: I've never had birch beer before. If this brand is any indication, it tastes like root beer.Earp's Sarsaparilla: I've never had sarsaparilla before. If this brand is any indication, it tastes like root beer mixed with cream soda.Soda Boy Caramel Cream: VERY strong caramel taste. A bit too sweet for regular consumption, but certainly novel.Red Arrow Root Beer: Terrific root beer. Maybe the best I've ever had.Nugrape: Excellent grape soda. Tastes like a grape popsicle!Mr. Cola: Very sweet, albeit slightly bland cola. It tastes like most generic "store brand" colas.Nesbitt's Strawberry: Tried it not long after drinking a Fanta Strawberry. It's definitely better than that. Nice strawberry flavor.Nesbitt's Orange: Has now replaced Jarritos Mandarin as my new favorite orange soda.Frostie Blue Cream: Pretty blue color. Tastes like regular cream soda, albeit a good one.Bubble Up: Nice lemon-lime soda. Reminds me a bit of Sun Drop.Americana Honey Lime Ginger Ale: This wasn't good. It's the one soda in the assortment I got that I can honestly say I didn't like. Honey, lime, and ginger are just three flavors that don't go together.All in all, I'm eager to order another assortment. Orca has several other flavors that sound good, and most of the flavors I've tried I wouldn't mind having again.

My son and I have been enjoying drinking these and rating the flavors. Definitely full flavored and plenty of fizz. Packed very well.
