White Castle Bacon
White Castle does so many wonderful things wonderfully, but not bacon. Look upon this sad heap of pig, it's very soul stripped away by some unwholesome process. Bacon is hard to mess up, but WC does it.
Alas.

Two Boots Cherry Coke Slushpuppy
Ker-boring. No taste of coke whatsoever, it's just a slightly sweet crushed ice taste and some food coloring.
Five bucks waste at Two Boots pizza, an otherwise wonderful restaurant.

Cinderella was liquid and collected in her glass boot.
Pretty to look at.

This is Better...
...than anything I've ever done with this dumb blog. Here.
This is a page from a notebook that the poster found somewhere. Back when I was a kid we'd order mixed sodas and called them "suicides". "Can I have an orange and Coke and 7-Up suicide, please."
A lot of these seem pretty safe, Sept 30th gave five stars to "pink lemonade, cranberry juice, sierra mist". That sounds like something my wife would drink. September 29th, though, gives two stars to Sierra Mist, orange juice and Dr. Pepper - this would seem to indicate that the tester wasn't an insane person.
Notice that the uncolored pieces are also unrated, the tester planned/drew out a number of tests in the future and was then coloring the sodas in and assigning ratings later. The drawings aren't of the actual unmixed sodas but are really just a graphical way to represent the proportions of what went into them - which is great. I do not demand photorealism in my mixed soda visuals.
The most important thing to walk away with from this would be a wariness towards Fruit Punch and Mountain Dew mixed in a 60/40 ratio. It's the last completed entry and might have very well been what killed the tester and caused the discontinuation of the experiment.
But, this is pretty and maybe I should recreate some of this on my own...

Blue Collar Coke
The fountain dispenser at Blue Collar in Williamsburg has the best fountain Coke of my adult life. Syrupy and sweet, I wish they had crushed ice.
The counter person affirmed that it was regular Coke but suggested that maybe the awesome old fashioned soda machine had something to do with it. Not in a mystic way but something to do with the syrup ratio or something.
Hamburger is pretty good too.

Watt's Tower Seven-Up
This isn't the kind of lime that normally goes in cement.
