The Flathead Lake Monster on a Bottle

The drink of the day: Flathead Lake Gourmet Soda. It’s been in the refrigerator a while, and I’ve forgotten where I bought it. But today was warm, and I needed something to drink.

The label claims it’s Montana’s Legendary Soda, and maybe it is, but I’m not up on Montana beverages. Smaller print says North American Beverage Company, Ocean City, NJ, “under license from Flathead Lake Monster Inc.” Note the label also says “Huckleberry.”

The ingredients include what every soda has, however, including carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, critic acid and a few artificial favors and colors. As I understand it, “huckleberry” can refer to a number of different berries, none of which appear in this drink.

Still, not bad on a warm day. And I have another interesting bottle to put in the garage.
