En la ultima dia de la Semana de Gaseosas, voy a revistar un otro producto de Goya y mi segun "fruit punch." Puedo comparar los dos. Quiero decir que esta semana fue muy divertido y trate unas gaseosas que no habia tratado sin la aydua de mi hermano porque me dio los Jarritos. Necesito visitarle pronto y comprar los Jarritos Mandarin. El me dio una botella de Madarin pero fue demasiado irresistible que no puedo esparar; lo bebi antes de revistarlo para el blog.

Goya Fruit Punch is my second (for those who don't read Spanish) fruit punch this week. The inspiration behind this possible first of more theme weeks to come was an original delivery by my brother of a few bottles of Jarritos, including a pineapple and a madarin. Seeing that I drank those two before being able to have a Jarritos Week, I filled in the two empty spots with Goya. Not a bad choice at all and I like being able to do my first comparison, but Goya is bottled in New Jersey and is made with high-fructose corn syrup; Jarritos comes from Mexico and has cane sugar. I'm wondering if the difference will be noticeable in the two fruit punch options I was able to find.
It is. Not in a bad way, but in the same way you can taste the difference between regular and Mexican Coke. The Goya Fruit Punch is a little heavier. It is very sweet and reminds me of fruit punch drinks from my youth more than a soda because the carbonation is not intense and the aftertaste is an unidentifiable mixture of fruit flavors delivering that classic fruit punch flavor. The soda does not "pop" like the Jarritos did but the Goya Fruit Punch is smooth and steady, giving you exactly what you expect.
Now the comparison and it's a no brainer, the Jarritos is the winner. Not to say the Goya doesn't taste good but the Jarritos has more bubbles, a better bottle design, is sweeter but uses cane sugar, and is unpredictable where as the Goya is, like I said, exactly what you expect. I do think my review is tainted by the fact that twice in the same week I've had fruit punch sodas, so as a note to self I should not do same-week reviews like this because previous tastes might incite a bias in my opinions.
