I just made myself a pepperoni freschetta pizza. I poured myself a big glass of the new Pepsi Holiday Spice. I had one big gulp. It had a horrible cinnamon aftertaste. I poured the glass out and opened up a new bottle of Mt Dew. That cinnamon crap tasted horrible.

Ha ha ha ha............

I'm glad someone pointed this out. My friend grabbed it on the way out of the grocery store, and I told him it looked terrible. He popped the top and sure enough, one swill was all he could muster!!

Blue is normally raseberry. Why, I have no ideal.

And how about the Mt Dew dark, or what ever it is called. Suppose to be grape or something. And then the orange Mt Dew. For goodness sake, Pepsi, just stop it. Code Red was plenty! Stop with this other crap!

But being a Pepsi fan I will have to try it, even thou I will probally hate it.

Not so, my 1der-full friend. Vanilla Coke was the perfect mixer for Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum.

Of course when i'm getting drunk, I really dont care what I chase it with. Well, unless I am drinking rum. That stuff is harsh.

My fiance and I think that the Holiday Spice is actually elf pee. The stuff is truly vile. I'd love to see the focus group that actually liked the stuff. My fiance pointed out that it was one of the few soft drinks she couldn't finish. Me, I choked mine down.

We've got 20,000 plus members. I'm sure there's at least one "little person" who'd be willing to fill a specimen cup for you.

If you haven't tried the Pepsi Holiday Spice, I highly recommend giving it a go. It's so vile you don't want to miss it. Drink one and you'll have a story to tell your grandchildren 50 years from now.

Heh, I bought some of that "Holiday Spice" stuff and it just tasted like regular Pepsi to me. Nothing special except for the red hue.

Pepsi apparently never heard of Cajun Cola. For you outside of La., Cajun Cola hit in the mid-eighties as an alternative soda. Had a spiciness to it (I'm SPIC-EH!). Anyway...much to the dismay of my cousins and I who seemed to be the only people buying it...Cajun Cola lasted for one brief year and fizzled out.

I don't like it either, but on the other hand I do like that new Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper!

Any drink with the word "spice" in it is bound to be something horrible. A spicey pepsi?? Its common sense to know it would be ****.

Crystal Pepsi was cool, because it was a novalty. But they just had to keep going. Now we have holiday spice.

Hey, has anyone mixed it with Captain Morgan's????????? Sounds like it may be a perfect match.

Anyway, Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper????? They got that cherry DP, but havent seen Cherry Vanilla. Sounds good. Anyway, that Cherry is also a pretty good chaser/mixer for Rum.

And yes, that is how I normally rate soda. Sundrop owns all!!!!!!!!!! well and cherry lemon Sundrop, it owns all too.

I always thought Crystal Pepsi tasted like sprite and Dr. Pepper. I liked it though. My mother is a huge pepsi fan, so we had cases of it. It think it was caffeine free (?) so that's why they bought it--when I was younger they didn't let me have much caffeine--now look at me...3 to 4 cokes on a good day. Most of a case on a bad one.

I liked crystal pepsi too, i was more refering to failed pepsi's in general. They should have ditched regular pepsi... i like being able to see if there is a finger or used syringe floating in my drink before i actually start sipping on it

Back in high school (which was 3 or 4 years ago now), Surge was only 25 cents a can. A friend of mine got me hooked on it... or maybe it was the cheap access to caffeine.
