After the boys slated the 'standard' Football Special in the 500ml plastic bottle, the McDaid's reached out and let us know we should check out their 'Original' glass bottle range, brewed and bottled in the US. Since then we'd reviewed two of these (the Original Cola and American Orange Cream) and they both shot straight into the Five Star Sodas Hall of Fame with scores of 4.1.

It was only right that we gave the US brewed version of Football Special too, and Seamus McDaid (part of the fourth generation of the original McDaid family) joined us to see how it all went down ...

Before we got to the most anticipated interview of the month, we also reviewed Lucozade Energy Original (UK), Barbican Pomegranate (UAE) and Kimura Sakura Cola from Japan.

And there's also more teasing of a potential live event coming your way VERY soon.

Five Star Sodas is the definitive fizzy drink review show. Here to taste every fizzy drink imaginable and rate them on their zero through five system. The rules?

If it's not carbonated, it doesn't count.
It must be served chilled.
It must be drank from the container it was purchased in.
