MISC - Don't bother to try this at home.

Out of idle curiosity, I decided to try mixing orange soda and black cherry soda. (Roughly equal parts of both and, in both cases, we're talking Publix generic.) Hey--oranges and cherries go together in fruit salad, so why not?

The result is a mixture that looks almost like cherry soda, but tastes pretty much like orange soda. I guess I now know which has the more powerful coloring, and which has the more powerful natural and artificial flavors.
