August 12, 2002So Blue, funny how it seems...Um. Blue Pepsi. Or rather,
Pepsi Blue. One word: I think Pepsi took the "Clear" recipe and added blue food coloring and some
bad blueberry flava. It sure is a pretty blue color. But a .25 can of Shasta
tastes better! Do we really need Pepsi Blue? Posted by on August 12, 2002 @ August 12, 2002 12:05 PM 18 folks had something to say |

yuck!! i totally agree with you! my husband and i tried pepsi blue a week or two ago........he liked it but i could only force myself to take a few sips, i was expecting more of a wild cherry pepsi taste than carbonated blueberry juice. i didn't mind the red fusion, but that could be b/c it tastes just like regular dr. pepper, i didn't taste a difference at all!!!!

Posted by: meowy at August 12, 2002 12:27 PMGuess I'm just wierd... I like Clear Pepsi, I liked New Coke, and I like Pepsi Blue! Always good to have a change of pace - variety!
Posted by: Zaldor at August 12, 2002 03:36 PMPepsi Blue tastes like melted down Blue Icee. That was my first impression.
Bleh!

Confronted with the test marketing results for Pepsi Blue side-by-side with the actual product makes me realize that I am, indeed, a freak of nature. What else could explain the fact that while over 90 percent of people who tried the product said that the color of Pepsi Blue was appealing, I found it unnervingly similar to the hue of Bloo swishing around in my Nana’s commode. How else am I to interpret the discrepancy between the 77 percent of teens (and 60 percent of adults) who after tasting the product said they would buy Pepsi Blue and the 100 percent barf-a-licious reaction I had to the super-sweet-melted-and-carbonated-Otter-Pop flavor? But then again, Pepsi Blue’s "purchase intent" scores among teens (remember folks, these are test marketing results) are similar to those of Mountain Dew Code Red. And my purchase intent score for Code Red is lower than my purchase intent score for a digital-read rectal thermometer.
But in order to lift spirits among the Pepsi camp I will report that Alibi employees recently engaged in a wondrously time-sucking intra-office e-mail debate in which participants variously described the flavor of the brand-new Vanilla Coke as "artificial", "inferior to soda-counter Vanilla Coke" and "more like human skin than vanilla." The conversation stopped dead at "human skin" and now Alibi employees are ashamed to be seen drinking the stuff. I sure can’t wait for Diet Vanilla Coke.

I LOVED Pepsi Blue! Don't diss it!

Posted by: Soph at September 12, 2003 06:27 PMI'm tasting my first Blue Pepsi now, and I must say it's not very exciting at all.
It's taste is undefinable, not the worst, but I'm not even sure I can drink the rest of the bottle, my sips just get smaller and smaller :)
I bought it because:
1) I always try new products
2) I liked the color
3) It had Lord of the Rings pictures on the label
All I can say is, don't try this at home..
It isn't worth the money, you'd be better off getting a friend to buy it, and have a sip of his :)
I wish someday pepsi will bring back the "new taste loose on the planet." Because I never have really seen a tase like that sents I was a little boy. I remember drinking it all the time untill it dissappeared from the coolers.. I alway asked what happened to it.. Sometimes I wounder if it screwed up my childhood :(

Posted by: David at December 31, 2003 02:49 AMI love Pepsi Blue. Yeah, it makes you burp a lot, but that's what I loved it for. It was not as filling as regular Pepsi. Okay, Im a freak! Anyone know if they make it anymore??? I'd order it by the case.
Posted by: bobbi at January 1, 2004 08:26 PMYou think the spinoff sodas have stopped? I just spied my first can of Diet coke with Lime. This is how mutants are created in comic books, you know. Next up:Pepsi Yellow!!! It won't change color one bit going in or out!!
Posted by: Chubby Mcgee at January 5, 2004 03:23 PMHere's a funy story. A while after they stopped selling pepsi blue, my parents embarissingly took me to a triple a store or a really cheap place for buying food, and ofcource i wasn't jumping for joy well not untill i saw the mother load of pepsi blues. there were stacks upon stacks and i was extatic. Its my alltime fav. drink next to MD code red and Dr.Pepper red fusion. we bought like six a couple time we went there but then all good things come to an end, there were no more. I didn't know how since thre were so many, but crap i want some now and only dumb collectors sell them on ebay. I'll buy 'em to drink not collect, alas i will never taste pesi blue again unless i figure a way to make it my self.
