Review
Although one review thought it was "too sweet," Dog N Suds came in third in the 2002 Taste-Off. Later tasters praise its "authentic" taste, although we have had undercarbonated bottles. "Unsatifying carbonation," says Nancy. "Milky rich smooth," says Hoosier Mark, who grew up on this stuff, with a smile.
