<font color=lime> My sister came home today with a 20oz bottle of blue colored pepsi. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] I was able to bribe some from her to find out it had a berry/pepsi taste. I think it's pretty cool that the pop is a light blue color. :D It didn't taste too bad either. ;) Has anyone else tried this? And what do you think if you have. </font>

Blue Pepsi huh? I gotta try that one. Who knows I might be suprised. The Vanilla Coke sure suprised me... It was actually good! Where do you get this stuff? Is it *gasps* a Canadian beverage???

Mmmmm.. carbonated gummy bears [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Does it taste anything like the original Pepsi?

We never get any cool drinks like Vanilla Coke..all we get is Diet Coke which has a hint of lemon [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Grimslade 07-31-2002 09:04 AM

Vanilla Coke? Damn, I would love to taste that too. But as Goku said, we never get anything of that fancy stuff, and lemon tang diet coke tastes like crap.

You can make it yourself. Just add a splash of vanilla flavoring to your glass and pour in the Coke! ;)

<font color="cornflowerblue">Well, Dr. Pepper has followed the <font color="red">"cherry train"</font> and produced <font color="red">Red Fusion</font>. Just tried one today....didn't particularly like it. Mountain Dew's <font color="red">Code Red</font> is much better.

Vanilla Coke has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years (a local drugstore has offered it from their soda fountain ever since I was a little boy - Mom used to "reward" me with one after a trip to the doctor).

And now...the driver of our Pepsi truck just gave me two bottles of the Pepsi Blue to try. Too bad they're hot. I've got them in the fridge now.....waiting for them to reach a consumable temperature.

I just had a Pepsi Blue at lunch today and wasnt too impressed. I wont buy another. I dont mind the Vanilla Coke but I do like the Code Red and the red Mello Yellows (whatever they are called)

uss 07-31-2002 03:07 PM

The only unusual Coke ive tasted is Cherry flavour because my sis went to France and bought it there. Its very good!!

Jerome 07-31-2002 03:40 PM

Blue?

Great. Our dear Cerluean cutie has taken over the soft-drink industry. ;)

<font color=lime> That would be interesting. :D I like vanilla coke, but coke with vanilla ice cream is better. ;) I thought it was cool to have blue foam when you poured the blue pepsi in a glass. :D </font>

adam warlock 07-31-2002 06:31 PM

One time I accidently brought the Cherry Coke instead of Classic Coke

[img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1drinkspit.gif[/img] *sputtersputtersputterGAGS* oh gawd how I hated cherry...

who here remembers the NEW Coke that was introduced in the 80s?

Lord of Alcohol 07-31-2002 06:38 PM

I remember the "new" coke lol-it sucked!

Attalus 07-31-2002 07:24 PM

LOL, anyone who remembers "NEW COKE" is old enough remember Commadore 64's,

I used it... after my bro gave it to me... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Cerek the Barbaric 08-01-2002 06:46 AM

<font color="cornflowerblue">I remember the NEW Coke. I was a Marketing major in college at the time, so it was a "hot topic" of discussion in several classes.

Did Coke commit a huge faux pas? or was it a very clever marketing scheme to increase sales and attack their nearest competitor (Pepsi)?

NEW Coke tasted very similar to Pepsi...and 6 months later, Coke introduces "Classic Coke" in response to public demand.

The final conclusion - COKE SCREWED UP BIG TIME!! It wasn't a "clever marketing scheme"...they thought thier product needed a new, updated taste...since it had followed the original formula for almost 100 years. They never anticipated the huge backlash of public resentment.

And you are correct <font color="lightsteelblue">Attalus</font> - I DO remember the Commodore 64.

I also remember learning BASIC on the TRS80 (affectionately known as a TRASH-80) which had two 5.25" floppy drives. I remember when the Atari game console was the "X-Box" of the '70's and when Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong were considered "cutting edge" technology.

Now, most screen savers require more memory than those games (Space Invaders occupies an incredible 8KB of memory).

I can even remember when a "mobile phone" was one of the new slimline models with pushbuttons on the receiver. The were "mobile" because they were easier to carry around the room. But they were considered too "new-fangled" by a lot of people...so some were designed with the standard rotary dial on the receiver.

(And to really give away my age) I can remember joining the Columbia House Record Club in high school --- and choosing 8-Track as my preferred format.</font>

Heeeeeeyyyy! I've still GOT the Commodore 64...

As to Vanilla Coke - tried it, don't like it. Same goes for the Lemon Diet Coke. *blech!* Not fond of Code Red, either. And DANGIT! I keep missing out on things way down here ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img] - I haven't seen any red Mellow Yellow or seen anything but the original incarnations of Dr. Pepper. You said 'cherry Dr. Pepper', but I thought that Dr. Pepper WAS Pepsi's version of Cherry Coke??? Did I miss something??? And as to blue Pepsi...haven't seen that one here, either. How did NC get something I can't have??? *pouts*

;)

<font color="cornflowerblue">Not to worry, <font color="yellow">DragonMage</font>, Pepsi Blue and <font color="red">Red Fusion</font> Dr. Pepper are both practically brand new.

I read about both products waaaaay back in April when <font color="lime">Ziroc</font> first Posted about <font color="ivory">Vanilla Coke</font> coming out.

BTW, where is Newnan, GA? I work at a hospital in northern GA about 100 miles North of Atlanta.</font>

Kiyatha 08-01-2002 09:52 AM

That's so unfare! We haven't got any cool beverages like that in Sweden, only regular black coce, same with the pepsies. Haven't got any vanillaflavoured either... Outragous!

Just saw this, hon...sorry...

Firstly - now I don't feel so bad that I've 'missed the boat' so to speak with it all being so new. ;)

As to my location. If you follow I-85 south for approximately 30 miles, you'll hit the Newnan exit. :) So when you are at work, we are a couple hours drive from each other. HEY! Maybe we should try and meet up some day soon! PM or email me to let me know if you wanna. :)
