Has anyone tried

the new Pespi?

http://holidayspice.pepsiworld.com/home.php

No, but I like their commercial about eggnog (referring to new Pepsi product)...

No. I know some say they can't tell the difference, but I prefer Coke. Pepsi is too sweet for my taste. I took the Pepsi challenge a few years ago and was able to pick out the Coke with no problem. If I want sweeter cola, I'll have a vanilla Coke.

I've tried it. It has a bit of a spicy taste, like a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, or maybe gingerbread. One of my kids thought it tasted like Cherry Pepsi, and that's not too far off. It's also a different color - more red than regular Pepsi.

It wasn't bad, but it doesn't come in diet (at least I didn't see any), which is what I always drink, so I wouldn't rush to get it again.

Yes. It's maybe 1.5% spicier than regular Pepsi. And since I don't like Pepsi to begin with, well, it's not exactly something I'll be rushing out to try again.

Wow ! I haven't seen any of that over here in the UK. Although I;m not much of a one for flavoured cola drinks, I think I would like that one. I hope we get it here so I can at least try it !!! we are supposed to be getting a Christmas pudding flavoured Kit Kat here .....

We got a 12 pk of cans for $1.49 on sale today. It must be consummed by May of 2006 according to the label. I guess aging is not considered a positive value for this particular beverage

OK Here's the detailed review.

We chilled the beverage to a comfortable 39 degrees to allow the interaction of the carbonation to throughly penetrate all parts of the complex blend of ingredients. We stabilized the container to prevent any excess reaction to it's initial contact with the room air or possible changes of atmospheric pressure which is noted for setting off very negative relocation (at times) of the contents.
Upon opening the sealed container, we noted the aroma, somewhat sweet and woodsey. Precocious, yet not arrogant as many youthful vintages tend to be. I noted a brief flare of color and flash as it first made contact with the atmosphere, but settled immediately into a subtle swirl as we gently nudged the can. The basic beverage remains in full control of the destiny of this vintage, as the additives merely alter the slight aftertaste, without distorting that basic Pepsi message.

For those to whom Dr. Pepper appeals, This short-term creation will offer a brief alternative choice. It's lifespan, as with most young experiments in small-batch carbonation, will be short. If interested, the curious consumer should find this a bargain similar to that of "Coke 2" Or Cranberry GingerAle.

What review? That was a lab report. And a good one.

I love Pepsi, though I try not to drink much soda, and I was disappointed by the Holiday Spice Pepsi. It's really not very spicy. Smells a little like cinnamon, but it's hard to taste any spiciness.

Al... You have WAYYYY too much time on your hands!

Al---i LOVED the review!!!!---thanks!-now i dont have to buy it---beside my baby brother works for Coke and will be all bent out of shape if i did---he does send me alto of special edition coke bottles though---i Love Baseball stadium series! and of course the Santas!---but to actually drink all that cola!!!i dont think i could handle it---now about that cranberry ginger ale---mmmm- i loved the raspberry Schwep's gingerale!!

Canada Dry has the Cranberry Ginger Ale out now (again) It makes a good mixer for many Xmas Punch/slush recipes.

Dearfolk,
Due to dietary restrictions on sugar intake, when they issue it in "Diet" form, I will try it and report back. Until then, I must remain ignorant.
