both my girlfriend and I both experienced a bit of burning deep in our throats about 10 minutes after drinking some. Think it is normal?

Actually a nail will dissolve in coke eventually. My science teacher did it once... it just takes a long time.

Umm.. no.

No burning for me anyway, but there is a tad bit of an annoying aftertaste and my burps taste pretty bad.

It's not as good as regular Pepsi. A lot more carbination with a hint of berry sums it up. I don't see myself buying it again.

My son got a 12 pack 2 weeks ago from Bolt.com as a promotion along with a survey to fill out. We tried it. Can't say I taste any Pepsi in there, more like one of those berry flavored waters only carbonized. Didn't really like it.


BTW-it's two shades up from window washer fluid.









edited for grammar ;)

Screw Vanilla Coke....
Pepsi twist is the stuff....and since I am bored, I am going to go to the gas-station right now and try to find a bottle of the blue goodness....be back with my thoughts in a bit.

We tried this stuff. My wife and I hated it (we both like most Pepsi products). Our children (aged 5 & 8) loved it. Since we don't buy soft drinks for them very often, Blue probably won't be in this house again. Lynn

Happens in Lemon Juice and several other common liquids, hey did you know there is acid in your stomach?

Just found some at my local store.

It's not too bad...it tastes kind of like, as somoene said, carbonated(not ized. :p) Kool-Aid...but better than that. It's just different.

Probably the only thing Pepsi is slightly good for next to owning MD. :D
