... A recent resolve to avoid alcohol, apart from as a weekend treat, took me to an unfamiliar aisle, the soft drinks section, and there I noticed 'Five Alive'. I remembered enjoying the citrus version of this years ago but here was a variety I had not seen before, 'Berry Blast'. Being quite partial ... Read review

Advantages: A pretty appetising colour with added vitamin and zinc Disadvantages: Very watery and sweet taste
...Had I realised that Five Alive was a Coca Cola product, I would probably never have added it to my shopping basket. I am too lazy to gen up on all the brands I should avoid as a would-be ethical consumer but Coca Cola is a giant among offenders when it comes to the lack of principled credentials. From the bullying tactics it has employed in repressing trade union activities in its Columbian bottling plants to its depletion of the groundwater resources ... ...almost blasé about it. The five fruits in the 'brew' are apple, blackcurrant, grape, raspberry and strawberry and, as I pour my first glass I am impressed with the colour.

Advantages: Fruity, Tastey, Good for you! Disadvantages: Sugary - A little too sugary

But two weeks ago everything changed, i walked into a saab garage to purchase my new car and i was distracted by the coke machine. I thought to myself... "I like coke, ill go and get some"... I got to the coke machine and they were out and they only had cans of ive aliveberryblast left. So i got one, and drank it in less than 10 seconds.
My first reactions were that this drink was amazing, so fruitfull, tastey, so smooth to drink and yes, i could still get my sugar rush from it!
To me this drink is fantastic :) Its got flavour, vitamins, sugar and just makes you feel better when your not drinking a fizzy drink. Its not expensive to buy, its cheaper than coke i can say! So...

As a long standing fan of survival-horror video games, I've found myself wondering in the past why horror films never come close to being as scary or original as the cream of the video game crop. So, when I heard about a horror film with a plot based... more
I love The Click Five. I really do. They're terrible. Really terrible. The most cheesy, clichéd , rubbish I have ever listened to.
But that's why I love them. Their songs really make me smile after a hard day, and their uplifting Powerpop beats really more
