Will someone mail me a bottle? ☹ (I haven’t looked for any caramel M&Ms, because I don’t like caramel, but I have seen someone eating a bag at work.) ---

To distinguish it from the Pepsi their mother drinks, they say, “Blue Pepsi”, because the bottle is blue. They’ve already become confused, then, since Diet Pepsi now comes in blue containers, too. And **nightshadea** , he’s not talking about those. There really is Blue Pepsi. Haven’t tried it yet, though… ---

I saw Pepsi Blue on sale today. Inspired by this thread, I tried a bottle. I can’t see it becoming too popular but I drink Moxie so I’m obviously out of touch with the American soda drinking psyche. Still no luck on the caramel M&M’s though. Jin, if you mail me a bag, I’ll mail you a bottle. ---

I tried it. I took one swallow and gave the rest to my nephew. I suppose it’s good but I abhor blue rasberry YUK! It’s Ok if you like carbonated kool-ade. More like something your little brother would like. And that Dr. P Red Fusion? Has NO business carring the Dr. P name. Tastes nothing like the holy Dr.P. I bought one bottle only to have it finished by the Roommate. Pepsi Twist is Ok. Vanilla Coke is pretty good. Code Red is Ok too. ---

Blech. My mom just bought me a bottle. One sip, gave it a second for the taste to register, and decided that the rest of it goes to my brother. You know, maybe we could get the companies to make _new_ flavors instead of just fusing old ones. :rolleyes: ---

I love caramel and would never pass up an M&M (plain, peanut, or peanut butter), so my Dad and I tried the caramel M&Ms when I was in Phoenix lately . . . . Didn’t like 'em. The caramel tastes really funny – cheap and overly sugary, almost like the stuff they put in Sugar Babies. I wouldn’t buy them again. Dad and I did force down the whole bag, however, complaining the whole time: “These aren’t very good, are they? Give me another one.” 🙂 ---

I would love to try any of the things mentioned in this thread. In Europe, we have Coke and Diet Coke, Pepsi and Diet Pepsi, and M&Ms with or without Peanuts. Even Dr. Pepper is somewhat rare. Why can’t we get any of the more interesting stuff? ---

I am a hard core Pepsi drinker. Coka Cola rarely crosses my lips. Pepsi Blue will join Coke on the sidelines. It is overly sweet even for me and I really don’t care for the taste. ---

But if it’s cherry flavored, I assume Mello Yello isn’t appropriate. Based on the reviews so far, maybe it should be called Stink Pink or Ded Red. ---

Haven’t tried it, probably won’t, at least not for a long time. I am a Coke drinker, can’t stand Pepsi. Now, I will say that I actually can handle the new Pepsi twist if I find myself in a pinch, and Coke is not available. I didn’t much care for Mountain Dew code red, or vanilla coke, so, I can only imagine I’d feel the same about blue pepsi. Hell, Cherry Coke has been around for years, and I can’t stand it. Here’s what I want to know, why is it, that, Pepsi came out with Pepsi twist, and diet Pepsi twist, but Coke only came out with Diet lemon Coke? Why no regular lemon Coke? I like lemon in my soda, and have been known to squeeze some in a coke here and there, but I hate diet anything, so, I won’t touch their contribution to the new flavor trend, as far as lemon is concerned. One other thing, am I off my rocker, or is there suppose to be a blue Mountain Dew coming out sometime soon? I swear I have seen a poster for upcoming blue Mountain Dew slurpees at my local 7-11. Oh yeah, speaking of slurpees, like I said above, I don’t care for vanilla Coke, but my daughter got a vanilla Coke slurpee today, and I tried it, and that way, it was pretty good, at least, tolerable. ~V [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-tried-pepsi-blue-have-you/120800.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-tried-pepsi-blue-have-you/120800.md?page=3)
