I tried it today....my take:

- too fizzy
- I don't notice any 'cola' taste
- my first impression: what liquid urinal cakes would prolly taste/ smell like :|

Won't be buying it again. Regular 'ol Pepsi is still my fav soft drink :)

I just tried it. I think it tastes like one of those frozen pops you put in the freezer. The ones that come as a liquid in long plastic tubes that you freeze. If you've ever opened and drank the liquid instead of freezing it this is what Pepsi Blue tastes like.

To sweet.

I really like Pepsi Blue... Dr.Pepper's Red Fusion is also very good. Neither one reach Code Red's 1337ness for soft drinks, but I like both a lot.

What's the deal with Red Fusion anyway? I couldn't taste the difference between it and regular Dr. Pepper. :confused:

Really? I can. There's definitely a cherry-esque taste to it... at least I think so.

Did you try a can or a bottle? I've only had it in a bottle so far and I can definitely notice the taste... only reason I say this is because I can definitely taste a difference in Code Red from bottles to cans... the bottled CR tastes much better, maybe this is the same for Red Fusion.

Yea, and it was only 79 cents so I don't feel to ripped off. But there will be no repeats for me.

I picked up a 20oz at lunch-time. It was OK. It tasted like something, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I would probably buy it again, but not more often than Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper.

Also, I tried the Red Fusion too. It tastes like something is missing. It needs to have a bit more of a punch. I felt the flavor was very mild.

Well, after trying all of these crazy drinks, I've just moved back to plain old coke.

Did anyone else experience "asparagus piss" from this? Nasty smelling in the bathroom last night. Sorry about my previous blank post, I couldn't find the edit button.

Haven't tried it. But it just sounds like liquid candie to me. I'll pass.

doesn't touch vanilla coke ..which rules:) supposedly outsold all other 20oz in the weeks after its intro. its in time i think

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


Yeah, that's about right. It's too fruity for my taste..
