That’s boring…
How’s about some Turkey and Gravy soda?
I tried it and it’s nasty, imho.
It tastes like plastic flavored pepsi with redhots melted in it.
I’ll try it, I like ginger and cinnamon.
Has anyone tried the berry 7-Up? I’ve mixed 7-Up (and ginger ale and club soda) with fruit juice for awhile, but this stuff is nasty. I think it’s the Splenda. Why did they need to put Splenda in it? Just berries and 7-Up would be fine.
That was gag-me-with-a-spoon grody! It tasted like watered-down, carbonated, Robitussin.
My friend surprised me with a bottle yesterday. Upon my first sip, I proclaimed that it just tasted like Coke. But it got worse with every successive sip. I tried hard to like it, I really did. It just wasn’t that good, in my opinion.
This is cruel joke designed to send me on a wild goose chase, isn’t it? Now I’m going to have to tear Greensboro apart searching for some of this.
A few years ago, for reasons I can’t remember, my dad won 100 two-liter bottles of Josta. It sucked. We tried to give it away. Nobody wanted it, because it sucked. So we pitched it. That is all.
Other things that suck: Holiday Spiced Pepsi, Moutain Dew: Pitch Black, Dr Pepper: Red N’ Watery (can’t remember what it’s called but it tastes like Dr Pepper with water in it), Cheerwine, Diet Coke, Diet Coke With (lemon/lime), Diet Pepsi, Diet Pepsi with (lemon/lime), Sprite Remix.
Things that don’t suck but I don’t buy them anyway because the originals are better: Mountain Dew: Code Red, Mountain Dew: Live Wire, Vanilla Coke, Wild Cherry Pepsi, Pibb Xtra (you can’t get regular Pibb anymore, so I drink Dr Pepper instead).

- The store I work at got in the Pepsi Christmas stuff a couple days ago. As I was leaving today they had uncorked a couple bottles and were sampling. Out of about a dozen people, everyone agreed the stuff tasted horrible. I did not taste it myself, it was all gone by the time I walked up–I just saw people making faces.

Their website said it’s supposed to be available nationwide in January. I know they released it in Texas and maybe a few other places within the past few weeks. I saw it for the first time yesterday. It’s very sweet, but it’s true to the Dr Pepper brand. I used to put vanilla and grenadine in Dr Pepper anyway, so I really like this.
I tried the Holiday Spice Pepsi today, and, well…
Frankly the taste strikes me as what one would expect carbonated potpourri to taste like.
You bastard! I love Josta! I’d have taken all of it. 
Cherry-Vanilla Dr Pepper is Texas-only? Ha! 
No, it’s in Louisiana too. I want to try it, but I’m skeered.
Huh… I’ve been seeing commercials for it lately and was surprised to discover I’m actually mildly curious about it despite being the OP. Readng the new posts, it seems I was right though.
I doubt I’ll be out shopping any time in the next month or two anyway so it all works out.
I went to the Dr Pepper Web site and they said that the cherry-vanilla flavor is just the first in a line of soda fountain-inspired flavors. And that made me remember the time about ten years ago when I was eating with my grandparents in a diner that had chocolate Coke on the menu. I was too scared to try it, but my grandmother told me that when she was a kid, they used to serve chocolate Coke in soda fountains. So, I wonder how long it’ll be before Coke or Pepsi or someone decides to make a chocolate version.
I’ve wondered about chocolate Coke too, how it would work pre-made. When we ordered it at the corner drug store (yep, a real corner drug store), it had to be stirred pretty vigorously, and you didn’t let it sit too long or the chocolate syrup would settle.
If they bottle it, they’d probably use a chocolate flavor rather than syrup, and that’d just be icky.
I’d be willing to try chocolate Coke or Dr Pepper. I do wonder what kind of flavoring they’d use. Hmm.
Canfield’s used to (might still, for all I know) make a diet chocolate soda. It was…interesting. The first half can tasted pretty decent, but after a while the aftertaste would build up and kick your ass. Finishing a can was usually a struggle.
When I had a chocolate Coke, it was very frothy. You know how when you make a root beer float, there’s a part that’s not really ice cream and not really soda? That’s basically the consistency of the chocolate Coke I had. I liked the texture, and I don’t think it could be replicated in can form. Nevertheless, if they start manufacturing a chocolate Coke, I’ll try it.
I tried the Holiday Spice Pepsi today-it didn’t impress me a whole lot. I think it tastes better warm, too.
We have the Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper here in Iowa-haven’t tried that yet, though.
