Are you ready for Excel’s ‘Gooey Butter Cake’ soda?

By Cassidy Moody

The company behind Ski soda has rolled out a new flavor near and dear to the taste buds of St. Louisans.

Excel Bottling Company in Breese, Illinois, has created a gooey butter cake flavored soda.

In case you’re not familiar, gooey butter cake is a St. Louis delicacy made mostly with eggs, cream cheese, and sugar.

It’s not clear exactly how Excel works those flavors into the soda. It’s not yet widely distributed, and I haven’t had a chance to taste it for myself yet.

I did conduct an unofficial twitter poll, and most of the voters aren’t feeling adventurous. More than 75 percent said they wouldn’t even try it.

So, what do you say?  Got the guts?
