Not Just for Insects Anymore

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?
