This isn\u2019t Canada Dry\u2019s first dabble with strawberry. The flavor debuted in a summer variety pack last year and practically became the MVP of everyone\u2019s grocery cart. Now that it\u2019s getting its own single bottles and 12-can packs, fans have a lot of opinions.<\/p>\n
Plenty of folks sound thrilled<\/em> that the flavor is here to stay. One commenter on Instagram wrote, \u201cYESSSSSS strawberry for life!!! \ud83c\udf53\ud83e\udd42\u201d, while another chimed in with pure enthusiasm: \u201cThis is the flavor I\u2019ve been waiting for all winter!\u201d Those early adopters clearly had summer vibes in mind when trying the variety pack, and they\u2019re hyped that it\u2019s not going away. <\/p>\n\nThere are some ginger ale purists, however, who argue that the strawberry is an unnecessary addition. But no matter where people fall on the ginger ale debate, this new flavor is generating a lot of buzz.<\/p>\n\nThe new flavor is light and refreshing, with a subtle berry sweetness complementing the classic ginger taste. Fans who tried similar versions last year described it as less overwhelming than a full fruit soda and more playful than plain ginger ale. It still feels like ginger ale, just wearing a fruity sidecar.<\/p>\n
At a time when flavored sodas often come and go with the seasons, it’s nice to see a brand commit to adding a flavor to its permanent lineup. Whether this becomes your go-to ginger ale or just something you try once, one thing\u2019s clear: Canada Dry has everyone talking, and that might be the point.
