that stuff was gross.

According to the people at Pepsi it was just Pepsi without the coloring. No change in flavor.

I suppose it's a study in how your perception affects how you think something tastes...because I swear it tasted very different.

Pepsi-Kona was coffee flavored. They test marketed it out here in Phillyland and I bought quite a bit of it knowing that it would never take off. And it didn't.

It did taste different, it was nasty.
 

My mother has a whole bunch of that crap in the basement of her house.
I've thought about selling it.

Pepsi Blue was much worse than Crystal Pepsi. It tasted like cheap malt liquor (ala St Ides or Old E Special Reserve) without the added benefit of alcohol.

I definitely would have tried that if I had seen it anywhere. There's not even any on ebay.

Yeah it was tested in limited markets and never even made it to a nationwide release so it's not surprising that it is not very well-known. I thought it was really good, though.

Ummm... if it was 150 years old and the only bottle on theplanet, maybe, just maybe it'd be worth that price. Otherwise... that's just a $10 bottle of some old Pepsi product.

I actually liked the stuff though...

Now if it was a bottle of O.K. Cola.....

I think that auction is just an old pepsi bottle filled with water.
