Hey! It’s capt’n Eli! Remember him? Looks like he’s in much the same situation as when we last saw him: rowing his little rowboat, packed to overflowing with fruit, daydreaming about the life of a smuggler on the high seas while his huge (and probably illegal) pet parrot perches on his shoulder.

Oh dear — “Orange Pop”. But, the cap says “capt’n Eli’s Soda”? Man don’t go all waffling on me, you have to pick one. You’re either with us or against us.

Wow guys, I think we have a winner, at least for this bracket. Very fizzy, not too sweet, a nice citrus bite, and a very distinct orange (actually tangerine but I won’t quibble) flavor.

I knew I saved this bottle for last for a reason. I knew capt’n Eli would come through for me.
