Cinnamon and nutmeg cola? What the hell? Something tells me that this will be on the level of Crystal Pepsi and Berry Blast Pepsi.
What the hell is up with all these new soda mixes anyway? I love trying new drinks… what I lack in excitement in relation to food, I make up for in beverages but, really, do we need to have a dozen different varieties of Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Dr Pepper?
Actually, y’know? Berries ,ixed with Pepsi was just a gross combo like mayo on ice cream. Invisible Pepsi tasted wrong…off…somehow, like the syrup containers hadn’t been cleaned or had been cross-connected.
But there’s already hints of that sort of spice flavor in colas–this actually sounds good.
There is already a very strong note of cinnamon in Coke. This would be like that, only in Pepsi and with a much stronger spice flavor. I’d love to try it.
This sounds good to me, too, provided that by “ginger” they mean like gingerbread, and not like the stuff you use to cleanse your palate at a sushi place (the latter always tastes like dish detergent, to me). But then, I liked Crystal Pepsi, too, and look what happened to that.
According to Big Secrets by William Poundstone, the cola flavor is a “fantasia flavor”, composed of a balance of cinnamon, citrus and vanilla. The kola nut doesn’t really add any flavor of its own. So, in that cola flavor is basically two spices and citrus, I don’t think that upping the ratio of cinnamon and adding another couple of spices could really foul things up that much.
Of course, I’ll reserve final judgement for when I can find the stuff.
You know that the ginger you get at sushi places is pickles ginger, not the fresh stuff. Whereas the Gingerbread flavor is usually dried ginger. In my opinion neither would be as good as good fresh ginger flavor, however I must agree that dried would be better than pickled.
Yummmmm, spicy cola! Can’t wait for it to hit the shelves. I’m already a fan of Lemon Diet Coke, Lime Diet Coke, and Cherry Seven Up. I love the new flavors of soft drinks.
Aesiron, Coke and Pepsi both already have cinnamon in them. This is just more.
I for one, am already drooling at the thought. I go to Burger King just for Coke because something about their mix or water or something has a stronger cinnamon flavor.
Pepsi has water in it too but that doesn’t mean I want it to be watery.
Or, to use the other two main ingredients as examples, I also hate vanilla pepsi and lemon pepsi. The current blend is just fine… one of the flavors dominating over the others hasn’t exactly enthused me in the past and I don’t expect this to be any different.
