My love affair with Hansen's Natural Soda began at a young age.  Growing up in Southern California, it was a family tradition to do the bulk of our grocery shopping at Trader Joe's.  My sister and I delighted in running through the aisles (yes, in California the stores are actually big enough that you can move around without causing a collision!) checking out the cheeky product names and making friends with the always gregarious Trader Joe's team members.  And, without fail, every time we went to Trader Joe's, I would sneak a 6-pack of Hansen's Natural Soda into the cart.  I loved Hansen's sweet taste and fruity flavors and, I'm imagining, my parents loved that the soda contained none of the icky ingredients found in traditional soda products. 

As an adult, I no longer have to sneak Hansen's into my cart, although I do have to make the trek to one of the few Trader Joe's or Whole Foods stores in New York City to elbow out other Manhattanites vying for a chance to sample this delicious treat.  It's completely worth it, of course, because Hansen's is not only super refreshing, it's also a drink you can feel good enjoying and sharing with your family.  After all, Hansen's Natural Sodas are free of preservatives, caffeine, sodium, artificial flavors and colors.  Rather than the high fructose corn syrup found in other sodas, Hansen's products contain real cane sugar and derive their flavors from real fruits and spices grown around the world. 

Whether you prefer a traditional cola flavor or something a bit more unique, Hansen's has got you covered.  Their product line includes flavors such as Grapefruit, Vanilla Cola, Key Lime Twist, Mandarin Lime, Creamy Root Beer, Raspberry, Ginger Ale, Pomegranate, Cherry Vanilla Creme and more.  They even have diet flavors made with Splenda, including Diet Black Cherry, Diet Kiwi Strawberry, Diet Original Cola, Diet Tangerine Lime, and several others, as well as a traditional Club Soda and Tonic Water.  All told, you really can't go wrong with any Hansen's Natural Soda flavor.  So next time you're battling the crowds at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, be sure to pick up a Hansen's 6-pack for yourself.  Or, if you prefer shopping in a more serene environment (i.e., your home), you can order Hansen's online at Amazon.com.  For more information, visit www.hansens.com.
