The Rating Scale.

      Alright readers help me out with something real quick will ya? Pretend that your looking for a review of something, say a video game, and you go to look at what it was rated and it says a 4/5 which gets you excited that it got a decent rating but then you realize that EVERY game has a 4/5 rating because the person running the site thinks all of the games are "good". Well yeah they might be good but is one of those games a little better than the others? You'll never know unless you buy the game which leaves you just as clueless as you where before the review only now your down half and hour and are more frustrated.

      I'm sure you're wondering what this has to do with soda right? Well I have had this exact situation happen to me more than once and it is one of my biggest issues when it comes to review blogs. So in order to avoid this on my blog I have come up with a 1-100 bottle cap rating system. Its very simple and it makes ranking and understanding the ranks much easier for you and me. 

      

The Scale:

0-20 bottle caps: This means that the drink is absolutely horrible and I couldn't even bring my self to finish it because it was so bad. If a drink gets this rating it means that I had to throw it away after a few sips and had to get another soda just to get the taste out of my mouth. This would be a 1 on a 1 out of 5 scale

21-40 bottle caps: This means that the drink was just plain bad. I finished the soda but I didn't enjoy it. I wouldn't get this soda ever again and wouldn't suggest it to anyone I liked. This would be a 2 on a 1 out of 5 scale.

41-60 bottle caps: This means that the drink was alright. It didn't blow me away but it didn't disgust me either. This soda wouldn't be my first choice of drink but I would drink it if it was the only option or I was really really in the mood for whatever the flavor is. I might suggest this drink to someone if I knew that they where into that type of flavor or drink. This would be a 3 on a 1 out of 5 scale.

61-80 bottle caps: This means that the drink is good. It made its impression on me and I thoroughly liked it. I would most likely get another one of these sodas in the future and i would suggest this soda to my friends, family, and yes even you the reader. This would be a 4 on a 1 out of 5 scale.

81-100 bottle caps: This means that this drink blew me away! If a soda gets this rating it means that I died a little bit on the inside when I finished the drink and wanted to go back and get another one. This is the soda I would call you about at 3am. This would be a 5 on a 5 out of 5 scale.

      Lets play another game real quick alright? Lets say I get there sodas, Sodas A, B, and C. All of these sodas where good so they would fit in the 61-80 bottle cap range, but soda B was better than A and A was better than C. In a case like this The ratings would be soda B is 80, soda A is 75 and soda C is 63. Which means that the sodas will get an initial rating over all and then they will get a rating in there individual category. If you don't get it now you will in time. Trust me.

You're Welcome
