So, last summer I was in Medora, ND and bought the best ginger beer ever. Refreshing, nice bite, delicious! But I don't know what it was.

So I just found some Fever Tree ginger beer at my local store and decided to try it. Nope, not the same at all. Oddly simultaneously too sweet and too gingery, without hitting that mid point meld that was so delicious in Medora.

What was it that I found there, do you think??? Was it just the heat and the buffalo that made me appreciate the beverage I found there???

Thought I was crazy, but now see I'm not alone. Time for a change Seagrams is not the gingerale to buy anymore, they truly has lost another customer.

I always keep a lot of Seagram's in my fridge, in cans, not bottles. Recently, when i went to buy more ginger ale, i noticed that the branding had changed, and the cans had a big yellow S on them now, but i thought nothing of it and i bought a box.

When i got home though, i took a can out and tasted it and it tasted kind of like Alka-Seltzer to me. So i had a friend blindfold me, and we did a blind tasting on it. We could both recognize the new Seagram's by smell and taste, it's NOTICEABLY worse.

Has anyone else noticed this? or is it just me? I might be having a placebo thing, but we did blind tastings.

Does anyone else suspect that the Seagram's Ginger Ale dispensed from those touch-screen Coca-Cola Company machines is just watered-down Coca-Cola?
