View Full Version : Pepsi Blue - Pump it or Dump it?
Phoenix Blue

I got a couple coupons for free 20-oz. bottles of Pepsi Blue when I bought a couple 12-packs of normal Pepsi earlier this week at the Commissary. I'm kinda afraid to open them, though, 'cuz I'm not sure I won't spew at the first taste of one.
Are they any good? Has anyone tried them?

If you like the cheap 50 cents Tropical fantasy sodas (do they have those outside of NYC?).. You will like it. My advice would be to get Vanilla Coke.. Yum!!! :p

my son bought it yesterday. He said he liked it that it tasted like "blue raspberry gatorade" :huh:
But i think his favorite part was this:
"mom, look my tongue is blue!" <child sticks tongue out
:lol:

This actually came up in one of my classes yesterday! One of my students works for Pepsi and even *he* says it's terrible. I've heard from many people that it tastes like soda water, but rotten.
I myself haven't tried it so I'll be waiting to see how this poll goes ;)
If you try it, I would smell it first and maybe put some on your finger and lick it first. I wouldn't just take a big gulp. I was in goMart a couple of weeks ago and saw a man try it for the first time. He almost spewed.:sick:

Personally, I liked it. Until it went flat. Then it was gross. But if you get it ice cold, it's pretty good. They haven't been able to keep it stocked in the grocery store near me. It keeps selling out!

Small wonder, if they keep giving it away for free. . . :p

I don't know, I haven't tasted it.... I hadn't even heard about it before now...
But I'll wait till one of my friends tries it or something... And I'll maybe try it myself if one of them likes it and they have one with them... Or i'll just buy one and try, i dunno...

I haven't tried it, but I still say to dump it. There's something distinctly unholy about blue Pepsi.

I thought they were nasty.
But, I do like Red Fusion which is the new fruity Dr. Pepper.

You & Eshallet are two of a kind. He got that the other day at lunch. I tried it, didn't like it. And I agree with Melysande. Pepsi just shouldn't be blue.

dont worry shnen, it will invade your country soon!
the reason they are giving it away with movie rentals, pop purchased, dvd purchases, lucky number guesses, and odd day
so you win a free drink!: is because they cant sell it. I predict it will
die out. I have yet to see anyone purchase one here in my town,
although, rednecks that they are they will take all the free ones they
can scarf up!!
I tried one....nasty!! then 2 weeks later, thinking I was too hasty
in judgement, I tried it again......still nasty!!!:sick:

If it's anything like that clear Pepsi they put out a few years back, I don't think I'll be trying it anytime soon. :sick:

I didn't vote on your pole cause I haven't tried it and I don't plan to .
I thought your reference to "New Coke" was funny! Boy was that stuff awful.
I agree with whoever said, "Pepsi shouldn't be blue" cause I don't think ketchup should be green either!
My oldest son likes Pepsi Blue.:nyah:

:sick: The blue pepsi is disgusting!!!
The Red Fusion Dr Pepper stuff tastes like Cheerwine and it is good.
The blue pepsi however was gaggingly sweet. Add one part soda water to 3 parts blue rasberry snowcone syrup......... *shudders* ewwwwwwww!!!!

Yick, they should've kept Pepsi Kona. Although the other new flavors (the red Dr. Pepper and Vanilla Coke) kick much arse.

Pepsi Kona?

I must've missed that one!!! I would have loved to try that!
I guess they had to discontinue it... imagine the caffiene in Pepsi AND the caffiene in Coffee? I must've had people flying like that candy canes in "Santa Claus: The Movie"!!! :rotfl:

MoonRaven

I like the blue stuff... it tastes like Blue Moon Berry Kool-Aid, but fizzy... I don't see it being popular with the older crowd, though. It's probably more of a novelty thing for kids.

PUMP IT :thumbsup: PUMPIT :thumbsup: PUMP IT :thumbsup:
I tried it because I needed something to drink and it was on sale at the CVS.
I'm not a Pepsi drinker by any means.
I liked this a lot. :thumbsup:
It wasn't meant to be "blue" Pepsi. :nonono:
I think that they learned their lesson from the "clear" Pepsi drink. I think they wanted to introduce a berry blue drink and since Mountain Dew--one of their other soft drinks---already had the red Mountain Dew, they didn't want this likely to get lost in the MD shuffle.
It's potent like MD. Not up to Jolt yet which is still liquid meth.:blushake::bug:
Judging by some of my posts Thurday and Friday while drinking this, I advise taking it in small doses. :2G:
I think during the posts for the Star Trek ones I actually laughed like Simon Bar Sinister.

It's not blue Pepsi. :nonono:
It's a berry cola that tastes nothing like Pepsi. It's not like Vanilla coke where they took Coke and added 'vanilla' syrup to it. Different drink all together and I think it's great! :thumbsup:
Drink Pepsi Blue! :thumbsup:
(While posting today, played Rick Astly's "Never Gonna Give You Up" over and over in a loop from 1:30-now.)
Drink Pepsi Blue! :thumbsup:
It goes well with Reese's peanut butter cups.
(You put peanut butter and chocolate in my Pepsi Blue! Well, you put Pepsi Blue in my peanut butter and chocolate!)

Its not THAT bad. It tastes like very artificial berry....which I guess its supposed to. Its more for the kids I would guess, though I like it better then Vanilla Coke...I think that stuff is so gross.
SimplyStrange
August 26th, 2002, 02:38 AM
Haven't tried it yet... but I've heard different opinions like "tastes like blue sludge" or "like licking the inside of an icee machine..."
So I dunno... I'm torn over trying it. :D
SimplyStrange
August 26th, 2002, 02:44 AM
Oh yeah, I just remembered something. What happened to clear Pepsi? It bombed...
...so I'm afraid to try. :D

Pepsi Clear SUCKED. Ick. Reminded me of liquorice for some reason.
Haven't tried the new Dr. Pepper. Not sure they're carrying that in stores around here.
I love the red mountain dew, though, and vanilla coke, and the blue pepsi.
Oh...did you know they came out with a limited addition DARK CHOCOLATE KIT-KAT???????????????? OMG! They're evil. Eeeevillllllll. By all that's holy, weren't regular kitkat's addictive enough????
Restrain me, Restrain me!

I've never heard or seen anything of it till now!

I still see it now and then.
I just read through the whole thread and noticed someone asking and talking about Coffee flavored Pepsi!
I used to love that stuff, they test marketed that in New Jersey where my in-laws come from.
I couldn't get enough of it. :)
Then they stopped maikng it. :(

I don't like soda, but when i do drink it i like the berry flavored ones so this is okay in my book.

:sick: Pepsi Blue is gross. It tastes like carbonated gatorade, with that throat-burning sweetness...ick. :p I like Vanilla Coke though, for some reason. Its actually pretty gross, but I'm addicted to it anyway. :smoke:

The color puts me off a bit. One time I poured the blue drink into a white cup and it was all stained really blue.

Pepsi Blue is just wrong. Too sweet, and just yucky. I probably wouldn't immediately spew it out, I mean it is drinkable, but I certainly wouldn't buy it if there was any kind of selection of other beverages...
SylverStar
December 13th, 2003, 07:53 AM
:lol: I haven't tried it. I don't like all the new flavored sodas out there. I just stick to Mt. Dew or Cherry Coke
New Coke sucks also. I still remember the first time I had it. I was so mad.

Ok I like Pepsi Blue. I like coloured soda. I like strange stuff. I like blue. So pump it and send some my way!

If you want something *good* that is blue (and you're of legal drinking age) check out Tarantula Azul Margaritas... They're pretty darn good, and I'm not usually one for margaritas.. :D
