This stuff sounds like the Cadbury Mini-Eggs of Christmastime; I'm going to be waiting for the season JUST for this.
Anyone try it yet?

Chao -- did Ken let you try some of it?
I had 2 cans of it this weekend and it's really good.
I was wondering what the hell this was at work. I was in the stock room when I ran into 25 cases of it. I'm more of a Coke guy, but that doesn't mean I wont give it a shot. Sounds interesting.Quote:

Apparently, the Pathmark by my school has it...my Stop and Shop doesn't, but that does not surprise me at all -_-;
I should buy a box of it and not drink it, keep it for 15 years and sell it off to some Pepsi nerd.
whats it taste like dammit? stop blathering on about nothing.
The site syas it has ginger and cinammon in it.Quote:

just as i suspected, no ginger. those fucks.
Hey, ginger might be in there somewhere...
Plus, the soda is pink.
I'm gonna buy a shit load of this stuff once it goes on sale on 26th.. and keep them and basement, and slowly ebay them off in 5-10 years...
This shit is fucking gross.
It tastes like regular pepsi while you're drinking it, and then you get hit with a very strong, very nasty blast of cinnamon in your mouth as the aftertaste.
What a waste of a dollar.
What?! I didn't notice that. I have to buy this drink.Quote:

avoid it, its inedible, and i even like the blue stuff by pepsi and josta, repeat, do not drink it.

Ha! For some reason I found Pepsi blue not bad. I didnt love it though, it was the kind of thing you drink once in a while every month or so. Last winter, I tricked a couple of clients by taking an empty windshield washer bin and filling it up with Pepsi Blue and drinking it while pumping their gas. People were freaking out.Quote:

If you want 'em, maruchan, they're all yours.
Damn... it took me almost a week to get through even one bottle, since it was so nasty, I just drank a little bit at a time when I was extremely thirsty.Quote:

Maybe if the after taste wasn't so strong, I could dig it.
Mmmm Cadbury eggs....Quote:

I liked Pepsi Blue.
I do not like this.
And I am confused.
Well, my girlfriend works at a pharmacy store, so I got the first run of it, so maybe you're right.Quote:

in a manner of speaking, after drinking it, your stomach will go on strike for you feeding it this warmed over windex, so you will lose caloriesQuote:

It can not possibly be worse than Pepsi Blue.
It's really not bad. A hint of cinnamon, nothing more.
And Pepsi Blue eroded my teeth.
This stuff has to be real cold to taste good...any warmness and bleh..........I can't wait for EGG NOG!!!! :)
You liked it and you know it.Quote:

Anyway, Pepsi Holiday Spice is good, my roommate and I tried it first day because we're suckers for gimmick sodas, but I really like it. It's different, not something I'd want to drink all year. I've been working on a case for a little while. It's no Mountain Dew Pitch Black, but it is a tasty novelty.
And yeah, as far as holiday drinks go, Snapple Pie wins. That stuff was incredible. I wish it would come back, but... I see no signs of such. :(
EGG NOG >>> *
Pitch Black is the best gimmick soda ever. It pretty much owned the entire gimmick soda industry.
There is no need to continue.
Oh and Pepsi Blue sucked. Crystal was even better..
I have 5 cases stockpiled at home. I got addicted to the shit. I think that's more of it than I could ever want between the time it leaves shelves and the time it comes back (er, if it does). I wish it would stay year-round. Best grape soda ever.Quote:

I liked it, it was grapey.
tasted like Black Licorice oh and Mzo I laugh like hell every time I hear you talk on Halo2, why? I have no clue.
haha
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? =X
Saw a commercial for this, I guess I'll give it a try. Although if it tastes anything like Dr. Pepper I'm gonna spit it back out.
Why do we not get any of this stuff!
Ive never heard of pepsi blue either, or crystal.
I think the most novalty drink we have here is coka cola with vanilla....ewww that tastes like crap.
Vanilla Coke rocks. And be thankful you dont have that blue pepsi crap. Crystal Pepsi is probably before your time.
The best thing Jesus ever gave us.Quote:

I still like eggnog in moderation. You can put bourbon in it. Once you get up past a quart it becomes too much, though. I think I would have won that thing if we were drinking alcoholic eggnog.Quote:

I don't remember you being Drinky then. Wasn't that 2001? I can't remember when you took up the liquor. And yeah, maybe you'd have won, but then Aaron would have had a seizure.Quote:

Campari and soda water is a very light drink, like 3%abv, but yeah, it still has alcohol in it.Quote:

I tried this today, it was pretty good. The taste of cinnamon was, if anything, too slight. But Id give it a thumbs up.
I guess they are going through formula irregularities right now, like they did with Twist and Vanilla and all of that shit.
A friend of mine kept a can of Pepsi Kona (the pepsi with coffee flavor in it) for a few years...though he drank it rather than attempting to sell it.Quote:

This however is disgusting vile horse bile..

Who the heck green lighted this stuff? I mean I know diet soda is a aquired taste, and I am trying to stick to diet, but god.
Canada doesn't get many of these fangled drink concoctions. We just get the basics.
We got Mountain Dew Code Red... but I find most drinks with gimmicks taste like medicine about 5 sips into it.
Don't you have like 3-4 flavors of sprite though? I see the comercials all the time on expressvu.
That's true but they all taste like bottled camel piss.
It has a horrible aftertaste. :yuck:Quote:

Watch and marvel at the tenth wonder of the world, my buddy Aaron, as he consumes a half gallon of eggnog in fifteen minutes. At the time of filming, he was 6 and a half feet and 320lbs. Yes, I'm the fag with the long hair and glasses.
I tried Holiday Spice Pepsi today. It's ok... kinda wierd. Not bad, just odd.
Kinda tastes like gingerbread men dunked in pepsi or something.
you guys have a tropical 7-up or something that's one of my favorite gimmick drinks.Quote:

Pitch Black is a chemical invented in a lab made to take like 5 layers of enamel off of your teeth. Mountain Dew HAS to be in cahoots with the Dental industry.
I got to try it the other day and I have to say I'm disapointed. It's not anything I'd want to drink again but it's also not so bad as to be memorable. I had it, I drank it, it wasn't good, it wasn't bad. It was just another generic soda and I was hoping for something a bit more.

Well, I got a two liter of this stuff the other day, and I'm about to try it...wish me luck...
Luck Wished.
Well, I bought another bottle yesterday, to try out Diff's "irregulaties" he mentioned about first runs of new sodas.
And yea, it's highly different. The cinnamon is a light taste at the end, and it's pretty enjoyable. It's definatley not the full on cinnamon blast in your mouth like the first batch I tried.
I'm on my second glass of it, and it's pretty nice. The aftertaste takes some getting used to, but it's not bad. I expected too much cinnamon spice flavor, and I'm happy that it's just a slight amount. Definitely a nice diversion from regular pop.
Hurm...maybe I should give this swill another go. I still have those 11 cans...
try it in a glass with ice - its better that way'
Eh, still kinda funky by itself. The ice does dilute it somewhat.
Mixing it with regular Pepsi doesn't hurt, either.
I thought it was bad when the DI's forced us to drink a half gallon of water in 2 minutes (I just barely held it in, the water almost ended up all over the floor) but 1/2 gallon of eggnog in 15 minutes? I couldn't do that shit in one day, I used to love the stuff but now I hate it, it's nasty as hell.Quote:

It's a jingle about how much the guys singing it hate egg nog. And a guy saying, obviously, that Pepsi Spice is the great alternative.
Bah. I'm dissapointed that I didn't try the first cinnamon batch.
Anyway, I picked up a 2-liter a few minutes ago. It was ok. Nothing distinct.
Pitch Black however is pretty good but not "grapey" enough. Code Red beats the hell out of it and retains the MD title belt (Livewire was a major upset :( )
EDIT: There's also this:

I'm kind of hoping we see a lack of updates for a week and then one where his girlfriend tells us the dude is in a coma.
