Walgreens Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda

Consumer Product Review

Thomas J  McCabe

Before going to an AA meeting last night, I stopped at a local Walgreen's Pharmacy to get a bottle of diet soda. As I was reaching for a name brand variety of soda, I happened to glance at a row of icy cold bottles of Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda.

Being a regular consumer of many Walgreen's food and beverage products, I decided to try one of these diet colas and I'm glad that I did so.

Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda.

Size
The only size of Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda that I have seen stocked and sold at Walgreen's Pharmacies is the 20 ounce plastic bottle. According to the product's nutrition facts label, the bottle holds 2.5 eight ounce servings of soda.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 20 ounce bottle of Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda at West Hartford, Connecticut area Walgreen's Pharmacies is approximately $0.99c.

Quite often, however, this soda, as well as other flavors of Walgreen's brand soda is on sale for prices ranging from $0.59c - $0.79c. Same - size bottles of name brand diet colas are always priced significantly higher than this excellent Walgreen's store brand diet soda.

Availability
Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda is normally stocked sold at Walgreen's Pharmacies across America. You might not see this soda stocked on the grocery shelves, along with other brands of soda. At Walgreen's Pharmacies in the West Hartford, Connecticut area, bottles of Walgreen's brand soda are only stocked in the refrigerator case.

Nutritional Facts
Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda contains 0 calories, per eight fluid ounce serving. This inexpensively priced diet cola also contains 0 grams total fat, 0 mg of sodium, 0 grams total carbohydrates, 0 grams of protein and 0 grams of sugars, per eight fluid ounce serving.

Taste / Flavor
As with almost every one of the many other Walgreen's brand food and beverage products I have tried, Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda is a very tasty item.

Interestingly, to me, the flavor offered by Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda tastes sort of like a cross between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. The flavor also reminds me of Diet Rite Cola, which I haven't seen in quite a while.

If you're a fan of diet cola, the flavor, price and overall quality of this Walgreen's brand product might surprise you, if you try it. Who knows ? Maybe you would enjoy the Walgreen's diet cola so much, it could become your diet cola brand of choice.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda a rating of nine.

Packaging
Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda is packaged in a clear plastic bottle. The white and maroon front label on the bottle features a prominent letter 'W' (representing Walgreen's) and the rear label lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information. The bottle opens easily and it also re - closes effectively.

Overall Rating
All things considered, Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda is a very tasty and inexpensively priced variety of diet cola. In this reviewer's humble opinion, this diet cola tastes just as good as higher priced name brand diet colas. Available at Walgreen's Pharmacies everywhere, Walgreen's Refreshing Diet Cola Classic Soda is highly recommended by this food writer.
