One thing they've got plenty of in Canada that we don't see often in the States (or Japan) is Crush. There are all kinds of flavors, erm, "flavours" I guess we'll say, though the only one I'd ever heard of stateside is orange. You come North, however, and there's all kinds of flavors. Spending Christmas in Canada, I was excited to come across Lime Crush at a convenience store.

You see all kinds of lemon-lime sodas like Sprite, 7-Up, and Sierra Mist, but rarely do you see a label having the guts to drop the lemon. I think 7-Up tried this with Dn-L a few years back but I can't remember how that tasted.

Lime Crush turned out fantastic. I'm a huge lime fan, I should say. Just the night before writing this, I was stacking a Coca-cola glass full of like 9 lime slices to make a great-tasting beverage that seems to appeal to only me. I remember Coke with Lime having a life all too short and I suppose this is how I bring it back. Crush's version of a lime soda comes with a strong taste that's not as sour as actually biting into a lime, but accurate enough for a soft drink. I love it.

Ditching the lemon was a bold move that works well for Crush, and I wish I could find this stuff at my home in Japan, because I'd buy it all the time.
