Another new soda pop

[John Q. Mayhem]

A Kroger near me has them. I got one at a gas station on the way down to North Carolina a few years back.

Just picked one up myself. As a pepsi-drinkin' man who harkens back to the days when cola was clear, I can say that this is okay. S'not stellar, but s'okay. It strikes me as weird they didn't try it as a Mountain Dew thing....red, orange, black, you'd think it'd fit right in....I guess Pepsi is much more classic....

Finally found it.
Tried it.
Liked it.

Well, I tried the Holiday Pepsi. Took me a while to deside if I liked it or not, but I do. Kinda tastes like flat Dr. Pepper to me. I'm going to try making ice cream sodas with it.

I finally found Holiday Pepsi here today. I decided it was vile. However, maybe making ice cream sodas with it would help.

Nasty, nasty stuff. Then again, I'm not a big fan of cola to begin with.

I've always referred to a sugary carbonated beverage as a "Coke", or perhaps "soda" if I'm taking pains to be generic. Sure, there's something moderately bizarre about asking someone if the "Want a Coke?" and returning with a 7UP or Sprite, but I figure it's kind of like aspirin or Kleenex (though Coke has done a better job of protecting their IP).

If I remember rightly..... Both Sprite and 7-up are owned by coke. It gets called fizzy or it's actual name where I live, but I think that a familial thing, not regional.

I wonder if they'll sell that Pepsi in england....

Around here no one says pop, most say soda, and I'll often say coke even if I'm not specifically talking about Coke. When I was little, a lot of people around here called it tonic, but that's pretty uncommon nowadays.

As for all the new flavors, I think the soda companies need to give up and accept that no one wants new sodas. None of them catch on, there's just no need. I'm already drinking your cola, why keeping wasting money on the R&D and big marketing campaigns to make me drink a different flavor?

 

[GreyShadow]

It's all soft drink here. You ask for a coke, you'll get a Coke. You ask for a pop, someone's likely to stick a finger in their mouth and go POP.

Pepsi and Red Bull for me thanks.

Pepsi Holiday Spice

Brought the Pepsi Holiday Spice to the game yesterday. Half of us hated it, half of us loved it. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned its blood red color. Perfect for a Vampire LARP.
