Review of Grapette Soda from Wal-Mart: Is Off-Brand Soda Worth It?

Chris Tidwell
In the world of soda you have your major name brands that seem to dominate the field the consumer has to choose from, but there is an off brand of soda that I have found quite refreshing and enjoyable. Grapette is a grape soda produced by Wal-Mart, but is the greatest grape soda I have ever tasted. The flavor is dead on with how a grape soda should taste, the price is right, and the product is easily obtainable.

Many sodas have tried to mimic fruit flavors but not that many have succeeded. Orange and grape sodas have been around for a while, but orange soda seems to be more popular, however if done correctly grape soda is very refreshing, and Grapette has defiantly got it right. Although it's a soda Grapette tastes just like pure 100% gape juice with a bit of a kick.

The flavor Grapette has taste natural with a hit on sour bite to it that actually reminds me of Mountain Dews pitch black flavor, and it's just as good. Grapette obviously is not an all natural product, it has all the unhealthy sides of a traditional soda, although its nutrition facts look a lot better then cokes or any other name brand, but it's the flavor that really counts, and Grapette is everything a true grape soda should be.

Grapette is a Sam's Choice product, Wal-Mart's brand, and so you know the price is going to be right. a 2 liter will cost you on average between 56 and 60 cents. Pretty nice compared to the high priced name brand sodas on the market, and Grapette has the same great taste as any name brand around, for a whole lot less. Grapette is also available in the can, a 12 pack for just around two dollars.

Now I know you all shop at Wal-Mart anyways and every branch of the supermarket giant will be carrying Grapette, so the product will be easily obtainable. Every Wal-Mart is going to have their own Sam's Choice products on hand, so it's not like Grapette will be out of stock, and it's a wonderful product, one of Sam's Choices most popular sodas so you can expect Grapette to be around for a good long while. As long as there are Wal-Marts in our world, there will be Grapette.

If your tired of paying high prices for expensive sodas, and love grape flavor then I would highly suggest Grapette distributed by Wal-Mart. The flavor is amazing, tasting just like a grape soda should, and of course it's from Wal-Mart so you know the price is going to be right. Also each can comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, a nice reassurance that Wal-Mart gives to this wonderful product.

    I'm drinking some Grapette right now :D

    And I am with Amazed right now, learn to type if you plan on creating an informational blog; it just looks bad when you fail so hard.

    There are so many typos, misspelled words, and incorrect punctations in this piece that it blows my mind. Is this site more of a blog (where typos are acceptable), or is this supposed to be a professional site?

    I would like to know why Grapette all of a sudden disappeared from Wal Mart stores in the Las Vegas, Nevada area???

    I always loved Grapette. I was born in '39 and I used to live in Camden, Arkansas from 46-50. I remember getting the bottles out of the old fashioned coolers at the local grocery. It's still my all time favorite soda. I didn't know they were back in sale so guess I'll have to go to Walmart and get one!

    Grapette was a drink produced in Camden, Arkansas beginning in 1939. I remember drinking it as a child in the 1950's and have never tasted another grape soda that matched it. According to the Grapette web site, the WalMart version uses the original formula, so it should be very good.
