Ting! I love Ting! You're getting that locally here in the states? Awesome.

I'm tellin' ya, with the right marketing that stuff would be huge here.

Edited to add: Turns out it is a Pepsi product. Who knew? http://www.pepsiamericas.com/products/caribbean.shtml

Squirt was a grapefruit soda created in 1938, so I don't know what it tasted like then. I just remember how it was in the early 1960s. I don't know how many times the company changed hands. I do know that when the big soda bottlers got their paws on it the product as those of us who were "users" knew it changed completely...for the worse, of course. Squirt today tastes absolutely nothing like real Squirt.

There is on product that does taste like real Squirt. That product is Ting.

Anyway, if you like Ting, start stocking up. It will just be a matter of time when Pepsi will ruin it.
