Is this old news?

[FruitBrute]

I have never seen this before in 5 years of fig growing and related searches. Is this stuff old news? Has anyone ever tried this stuff? Or tried making their own?

Also @TorontoJoe Any idea if these glass beverage bottles fit well in the FF coozies? Getting thirsty....

Never heard of it. Now I want to try it.

Me too. Looks really good. I just finished push mowing our yard.

The coozie pictured is sized for a standard 12oz beer/soda can, but I believe there’s an option for a slim version for all you hard soda lovers

I see...... would those involve a zipper closure?

How about a one of those hat or earphone shaped contraptions that holds a can on each side of your head with a straw attachment going to your mouth. That way your hands free to push the lawn mower or planting more fig trees.
You could put your logo on the front.

I’ve heard of fig leaf tea but not a soda. Interesting

I googled and found it last night. I don't drink soda very often, and happened to have a cherry lime sprite, and the thought hit me....... Fig Soda! What's interesting is that they use leaf extracts, and not the fruit, in the drink. I guess it's no different than fig leaf tea in some regards.

My worry is if people say fig leaves smell like cat pee, what’s it taste like?

Hadn't thought about that

I find some to smell that way. Others seem to have a coconut smell.
Hope they are using the coconut smelling leaves.

I don't drink soda either. But love carbonation.
So I get carbonated water and either drink it straight
or add some kind of citrus juice to it.
Wonder if I can do a reduction of fig leaves and add
it to the carbonated water.

To me fig leaves smell like basil. I like it.

Worth a shot, I'd say.

By the way. Happy Birthday.

No zippers that I’m aware of

I have never tried fig soda, but have made fig leaf tea before. Unique and unusual are interesting ways for them to market it. I suppose it’s better than saying unappetizing.
