Old Pepsi Blue thread

CNN 4/18/03

But then came Pepsi's Blue a year later, a berry-flavored version of its cola that fizzled with consumers. "The Mountain Dew brand hasn't done very well overall for Pepsi and Pepsi Blue didn't take off," said Ann Gurkin, analyst with Davenport & Co. "This year Coke has better innovations in the pipeline."

If PepsiKona didn't take off, there is no way carbonated berry-flavored window cleaner would.

I don't see how it ever made it past consumer testing. Tastes like melted blue Icee to me. Bleh.

I think the few people who drink that stuff like water are vastly outnumbered by the people who think it tastes like sugared piss.

There are lots of german aniline dyes you can use instead of Pepsi. At most that would probably only stain your undies.

I can honestly say Pepsi Blue was the worst soft drink I have had in a while... don't know how it got past consumer taste trials.

Pepsi needs to get with the ball.. and start making their...

- WILD CHERRY pepsi taste more like WILD CHERRIES
- LEMON-FLAVORED pepsi have a little more than a hint of LEMON
- RED mountain dew taste a little more like RED
- BLUE pepsi not taste sicking sweet and unlike BLUESTUFF
- version of VANILLA pepsi
- CRYSTAL PEPSI again.. because all of us in the 18-25YO demographic will remember drinking it growing up and will buy it just because
- JOSTA because we never fvcking got to try it! and those of us that did crave it. (me)
- 7UP YOURS
- Commercials look more like the cool commercials of the 80s (You got the right one, baby.) Joy of cola? NO! Joy of Christmas.. Joy of vacation.. Joy of cola? I fvcking drink cola every day. I drink it when I'm joyful, happy, sad, and pissed off.. Some times I drink mass quantities of Mountain Dew just because I'm pissed off. I don't want to be joyful every time I drink a Pepsi. And I don't need Britney Spears or some nerd dancing to Shakira to demonstrate to me how to drink a damn PEPSI!



Coke needs to...

- bring SURGE back.. and spell it with an I for SIRGE cause' it looks cooler that way
- put their logos up in more places because there's still like 3 people in the US that don't know what it is!
- make a baby bottle version of Coke.. like juice boxes except with a nipple
- start making cars or something

What's wrong with sierra mist? It's just another lemon-lime softdrink.

I was on the test panel for a certain drink, I guess the people they selected liked it.

Personally I tested Capt. Morgan Silver Rum .... it was surely :confused:;):confused: experience. But it made it to stores.
