Doesn't pepsi distribute Dr. Pepper products anyway? When the grocery stores around here have soda, it's usually either Coke products or Pepsi products. The Dr. Pepper goes on sale with the pepsi...

Dr. Pepper/7-up are their own company. Who bottles it depends entirely on your area. In some places, the local Pepsi bottler may have the license to do it, in others the local Coke bottler may do it. In some places, they have their own bottler.

Ooo...looks yummy. They probably released it to compete with Vanilla Coke. I wanna try this though.

I'm sitting here with a bottle of it in my hand. It tastes like...burning.

Seriously, it does remind me of nasty gummi worms. It is indeed bitter, and quite possibly the worst cola product I've ever tasted. But that's just my opinion. Glad I only bought 2 bottles!

Hmm, I may have seen this around. I'll keep my eyes open, though.

This might be going on the shelf next to those other failed pepsi derivatives.

All of the sudden, I miss jerboy... :(

Just think of all of the worthless, irritating "Vanilla Cokesque" threads he would have posted about Pepsi Blue. :(:(:(

:D

OK, they have it at Krogers now. I just tried it and here's the skinny:

I hate those gross fruity drinks out today (Strawberry/kiwi, blue raspberry, watermelon....yuck...), so I wasn't expecting much of Pepsi Blue. It wasn't too bad! It's not as sweet as it looks (in fact, I'd say it's less sweet than regular Pepsi), and it has a head on it like root beer when you pour it into a glass. It has a light berry/cola taste that seems to be just about right, but it's super carbonated, so prepare to burp :) . I'd buy it again!

[gene shalot] Pepsi Blue....it BLUE me away! I sure wasn't feeling the BLUES after drinking this stuff. One taste, and my taste buds went ka-BLUE-ee! When people heard that Pepsi was making a blue drink, they thought they BLUE it. It turns out, they now just BLUE past the competition!...[/gene shallot]

Pepsi's site said a diet version is not planned, but may be introduced next year.

And Pepsi thinks it needs a global marketing campaign to pimp this stuff. :)

Just picked up 2 20oz bottles at an Exxon. Great stuff. Tastes like Pepsi/Cherry Pepsi with a hint of that blue Fruitopia, but not overly sweet. Very carbonated though..

I am drinking it as I type this.

I am not a big fan of this stuff. Tastes like a gummy bear (as mentioned) crossed with a candle shop.

Oh well.

I am going to stick with V. Coke as my choice of the new drinks.
