Pretty good – I can taste the cherry and the vanilla and the Pepsi. [And it’s made with actual sugar instead of corn syrup.](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5816/22547624619_0af9edb70c_z.jpg) Plus, it doesn’t cost twice as much as normal Pepsi, like last year’s version of Pepsi with Real Sugar did. What’s not to like? ---

It’s not bad. Around here the Pepsi “Throwback” (with real sugar) was the same price as Pepsi so I did that a fair amount. But all forms of cola, Coke or Pepsi or whatever, will always be basically the same to me ---- something to drink when real cola (Royal Crown) isn’t available. ---

In Michigan, we have Pepsi and Mountain Dew with real sugar that cost the same as fructose corn syrup. [Also, you can get Cherry Vanilla Coke from those cool Coke machines that mix flavors for you.](Ernest Hemingway “There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”) I prefer Cherry Mello Yello Zero. Best diet soda I’ve ever had.
