Finally, Red Blitz comes to my town! With all of the great letters we've been getting from Vault fans, I kinda felt like the last kid on the block without an Atari 2600 (yeah, I'm old). But today was the day! Thank you Sunoco station for being the first place in my area to have it.
The Review
They say on the label that Vault Red Blitz is "Berry Injected" and as I first opened the bottle, I found out that they weren't lyin'! The scent reminded me some sort of berry-flavored candy. As I started to drink, it hit me: This stuff tastes very similar to one of my all-time favorite candies, Luden's. As a kid I used to eat them up like crazy and I have a feeling I'll be doing the same thing now with Red Blitz! Maybe I'm going to head back to the gas station to see if they have any of that candy too...
Now, there's been talk by some people that VRB is actually better than the original Vault. I don't know that I'm in a position to decide. The original, of course, is SURGE 2.0 and in my mind nothing can really take the place of it. I've dedicated over five years of my life to SURGE (and now Vault) so it's probably hard-wired into my head that I will be a Vault drinker for the rest of my life.
To me, Vault Red Blitz is just a great tasting soda. I'll be very happy to drink tons of it. Though I don't feel like it will beat the original, no one said it had to. It's just an outstanding alternative when I need to be berry injected!
