Adventures in Russian Food #1

Ok, so this isn't really food, but it's tasty stuff and that counts right?
The other day I was in a grocery store of sorts and I came across some interesting looking sodas. Only costing about 75 cents each, I decided to try.
 This one is flavored like Груша or pear. I had a pear soda last year so I knew it would be good. And it was. Definitely getting this again.
This one I purchased without knowing exactly what Тархун meant. This was something I didn't remember seeing in Kazan, but the color was so enticing; I couldn't resist. As it turns out, via google translate, Тархун means 'Estragon', which is the French word for Tarragon. This is tarragon flavored soda. It tastes interesting, but I can't really describe it as I don't know what tarragon tastes like in non-soda form. I might get it again.
