Today's discovery introduces a cola "micro-brew." That's right, not beer... cola. Diet Cricket Cola - a combination of green tea and cola. Not to be confused with the sad little guys I used to feed Leon, my pet lizard. It also comes in a regular version, but we all know what I really care about here. The schtick is a cola and diet cola with high-quality, minimally processed ingredients. I think it has been around since early 2003, but I'm having a hard time digging up its history. Although it is spreading throughout the U.S., it's not sold in major retailers and is absent from most convenient stores. I believe it's only sold in specialty shops around the country.
From what my limited search can uncover, it has gotten good reviews. I enjoy the taste of green tea, and of course everyone knows I love diet colas, so I am intrigued to say the least. And while I can't imagine the brewery tours for something like this could be more fun than those that involve beer, it is an interesting concept that a cola be micro-brewed.
Has anyone out there tried Diet Cricket Cola? I am not sure where I could find it in the Atlanta area, and am hesitant to order it online (shipping a few breakable glass bottles simply for a taste sounds a little too high-maintenance even for me). Does anyone know where I might be able to find it?

Try your local pet store. Crickets are sold by the dozen and are high in protein!
Cricket Cola is terrible. Don't waste your money. It's not even good for you like the website states. It Benzoate peroxide and perservatives
So what we're saying here is, if I really want "nutrition" I should stick with eating regular old crickets, as opposed to the cola variety. For convenience sake, it seems they would be easier to find!
......and you can keep crickets in a small brown bag! Anytime you get the urge for a snack just reach in and grab one or two. Nothing like a little "snap, crackle, pop"! Leon would be proud!
Hmmm... only if they are diet. I do need to watch my girlish figure.
Green tea and soda is a combination that takes a bit of getting used to, but it's wonderous once you do get used to it.
I'm not sure about the diet soda, however. I'm a non-diet drinker personally.
I've found Cricket at local delis, mostly (though my first taste was at "love cafe" - a DC bakery. You might be able to contact them and see what they say about finding the stuff. I'd highly suggest giving it a whirl, however.
