Cons

Pros

Questions and answers

Which is better for a party or cookout?
The Blackberry 24-pack of 20 fl oz bottles serves more people from one case. The Cherry 12-pack of 12 fl oz cans is easier to chill and hand out in single portions.
Does either one have caffeine?
Both do. Cherry is listed as caffeinated, and Blackberry is listed with caffeine added.
Which has less sugar?
Cherry lists 42 g of sugar per 12 fl oz can, sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Blackberry's sugar content is not stated, so check the bottle label before assuming it is lower.
Which lasts longer on the shelf?
Blackberry lists a 110-day shelf life. Cherry's shelf life is not stated, though canned soda typically keeps for months past its date if stored cool and dry.
Is the Cherry version gluten-free or vegan?
Yes. Cherry is listed as gluten-free, vegan and kosher with 0 g total fat. Blackberry's diet certifications are not listed.
Is one worth paying more for?
It depends on format. Blackberry gives you 480 fl oz versus 144 fl oz for Cherry, so a higher case price can still be the better value per ounce. Compare per-ounce prices on Deal.ai.
