Dandelion and Burdock (For Ben Shaws)


The first time I tasted this was after a very long week at school. On a Friday we always have a weekly take away like many other families. Which I always look forward to immensely. Anyway I was eating my fish and chips then I found that we got free drink with the take away, as you do when you spend over a certain amount. So I looked at the drink and fought what's that. Can't be that good never heard of it. If it was that good it will be as famous as sprite and coke. So while I was eating I took a sip of this and to my surprise this drink was mind blowing, I loved it with a passion. I was the first to go for a second drink. I asked my farther about it and he explained how long it has been around for. Etc. I found out that Ben Shaws was the original brand for this drink and they have been making pop since 1871 so from here on my choice of pop was always Dandelion and Burdock.

When I go to the shop to buy it especially on a warm day I get it and rush home to put in the fridge. This drink really does have a advantage when it is cold. The taste comes out when it has been in the fridge. I usually drink this while sun bathing. Perfect combination as this is one of the most refreshing drinks I have ever had. I normally buy this for around 35-60p for a can. This is the norm for all pop really. You get better prices at different shops though I have bought a 500ml bottle for around 65p which is a excellent. This is my favourite pop, shame it's not healthy for you, but there is a downside to everything.

I know many people who don't like Dandelion and Burdock, I suppose it is a love it or hate it situation. I've heard people say it tastes like medicine and it is terrible sickly. I really couldn't believe my ears. In a way its good though, just means there's more stock left in shops when I give them I visit. I personally think the taste is lushes. I find if a have a 500ml bottle it seems to go in the evening I buy it. I make sure I get my fair share of in the household. The taste is incredible better than coca cola and that is the most popular pop. So it makes you wonder.

I always struggle to describe a taste of food or drink but I always try my best. If you had to say what drink tasted like this most, I would choose coca cola although it doesn't actually taste the same it is probably the closest. It has a unique taste. It seems there is more fizz in this than any other pop, don't know if that's a good or bad thing. This drink especially by Ben Shaws is incredibly sweet. It has loads of sugar, you can tell by the amount of fizz in it and you can taste it. Don't know what they put in it to give it that distinctive taste but it's a pleasure to drink especially accompanied with the sun.


So overall I love this and is my choice when it comes to pop now. Maybe the original Ben Shaws is rather overpriced but is well worth purchasing to try it and then if you like it you should buy it from then on. It is addictive quite literally don't know how, but you will find yourself reaching for the cupboards and grabbing a glass again and again and again. This drink is perfect for a hot day sitting outside. The price could be a little cheaper as I said. But get out there and try it
There's nothing to lose

Summary: If you like the sound of it, go and give it a try
