what's dn-L?

Anyways, I want Crystal Pepsi to come back, that was really cool. Tasted like pepsi, looked like sprite (whoa!)

but it's good that pepsi blue's dying. That was easily the worst drink i've ever tasted. I bought it at 7-Eleven for $1.29 when it came out, took one sip, and left it in the fridge for my sister cuz I hated it so much. Sister took 1 sip, threw it away.

Uh, why? Nobody's forcing you to drink it. I happen to like Pepsi blue and would like to see Pepsi to continue selling it.

I'd be happy the day Pepsi itself, not just the blue alone, dies.
The world with be happy to lose some junk.

Amen. It was the worst thing I have ever drank. It's the only time I have literally spit out what I just took a drink of. I threw away the rest of the bottle.

Pepsi Blue is gross. I did have the new Mountain Dew "LiveWire" and I liked it. Reminded me of eating orange pop rocks.

I also tried the Sprite Remix..but thought it was kinda nasty.

Now if these companies would make Diet versions using Splenda! :(

I just read an article yesterday that said that the recent flood of newfangled sodas is falling flat on its ass. Vanilla Coke sales are off 45% compared to last year and Code Red is off at least that much if not more. The article said that people are starting to drink a whole lot less soft drinks than years past, citing healthier attitudes as one of the main reasons for the decline.

BTW, Pepsi Blew.



Peace

Gotta agree with you there. The Hansen's sodas are good, though; at least one company has switched to Splenda. Tangerine Lime is one of the best diet sodas I've ever had.

I hope Pepsi Blue takes the furniture polish flavored cola with it...
How can anyone stand Diet Pepsi Twist? It's time for that to leave the shelves.

(I work part time in a restaurant... the garbage is heavier because of all the 3/4 full cans of twist that people throw out. Therefore, I *DO* have a stake in saying what should be allowed to be sold to unsuspecting customers)

I never try these fad drinks. The most unconventional soda I drink is probably A&W Root beer :-/
