Pepsi is, to the best of my knowledge, a new brand availible in the UK. I spotted in the shops and was immediately struck by the Pepsi brand and the blue liquid in the bottle. ... ...a change from Coke or Pepsi original drinks. Price-wise it is around the same price as a 500ml bottle of regular cola (Coke or Pepsi) so no points lost there; good value. As for availibility, I'm not sure if this was supposed to be sold in this country, due to the Canadian label! But hopefully, this brand will be more availiable. When chilled it is highly refreshing! Just don't get it mixed up with Toilet Duck.... ... more
There are some things in life which, on paper, shouldn't work, but in practice do work. Chocolate covered pretzels. Pretzels = savoury, Chocolate = sweet. Theory: Won't work. Reality: Gained 2 lbs due to excessive consumption of Pretzel Flipz (remember them?).
The cola market is a market which as diverse as a million years of evolution. From the original (Coke) to Pepsi to UK brands (Virgin Cola) to US brands (RC Cola). They have often tried to imitate each other but the market is strictly "brand-led". However, Pepsi seem to have done the impossible and busted this market wide-open.
Pepsi is, to the best of my knowledge, a new brand availible in the UK. I spotted in the shops and was immediately struck by the Pepsi brand and the blue liquid in the bottle. This struck me as very odd as I can't remember any of Pepsi's brand containing blue liquid (unless I drank a bottle of toilet cleaner by accident!). Since this caught my eye, I thought it deserved a little more of my attention. The bottle had English and French writing on it and had a Canadian consumer phone number on it. I have to admit another thing whic caught my eye was the fact that the shopkeeper put the bottle on the shelf the wrong way round and it said "Pepsi Bleu"!
It said on the bottle "Berry flavoured cola drink". This struck me as a little confusing as I always thought that "Cola" was the flavour of the drink. So how could the main flavour of the drink suddenly change to "Berry"? That's a bit like saying "Try our all new strawberry milkshake drink in banana flavour!" that's just a banana milkshake!!! Anyway, wordplay games aside, I bought a bottle to try it out. The bottle cost me 85p. I did buy this bottle at a branch of Londis which could explain why it was so expensive.
I opened the bottle and drank the drink. Strangely, the drink tasted neither of "Berry" or "cola" but it was a weird hybrid of the 2! On impact of the tongue, it's tastes like a berry drink (think WKD blue), then after a few seconds you can taste the "Pepsi Cola" flavour. It does sound disgusting, I'll admit, but it does work (a lot like the Pretzel Flip point earlier)! As a result it is one of the most original drinks on the UK market today.
I recommend this drink for anyone who wants a change from Coke or Pepsi original drinks. Price-wise it is around the same price as a 500ml bottle of regular cola (Coke or Pepsi) so no points lost there; good value. As for availibility, I'm not sure if this was supposed to be sold in this country, due to the Canadian label! But hopefully, this brand will be more availiable. When chilled it is highly refreshing! Just don't get it mixed up with Toilet Duck....
Advantages: Fantastic Drink Disadvantages: Still not in the UK! :@
When I was in Canada recently I was doing my usual sad hobby - which is to scan the supermarkets of abroad to see what brands they have there, which are not available in the UK. Canada being the neighbour of America is ahead of us, as the USA is first to benefit from new products from brands such as Pepsi, Coca Cola, sports brands and so on.
I was so excited when I saw 'Pepsi - Blue' sitting in the shelf that I didn't think twice in trying it out. ... ...room to try it out. The drink is fizzy and blue (hardly surprising lol). It tastes of blueberries and is sweet - but not too sweet. It's really delicious and tangy and I bought more bottles whilst staying in Toronto. I even bought a bottle home in my suitcase for other folks to try out this amazing blue drink (only the 500 ml bottle, so friends and family had to make do with very ample amounts lol).
That was a while ago now and I'm still yet to ...

Advantages: Great Taste , Better than coke Disadvantages: Might be too sweet for some
* Pepsi Max *
Pepsi Max , as they describe it themselves is a 'Low calorie cola flavoured soft drink with sweetners'.
* Packaging *
Pepsi max come in a plastic bottle with the pepsi symbol 'engraved' on the bottom along with ridges on the bottle. The plastic label has some shapes which i cannot identify in colours of black and dark blue. The pepsi is written in white capital and the mac is written in larger capitals in red. The pepsi symbol is below. On the bottle of the label are the words in white capitals with a red background ; Maximum Taste , no sugar. The lid is an 'open by hand' screw on lid. It's black and has the pepsi symbol on it.
* Taste *
The texture of the pepsi is very thin. It's very sweet (sweeter than coke). I like the fact that it's really sweet however I can understand why others may find it sickly ...

Advantages: refreshing, good price, unusual taste Disadvantages: could be classed as cheap, gassy
I bought this drink from a new local shop that has just opened, and which stocks rare products and in this case has more choice in the soft drink section.
The price was 49p with the choice of flavours like Red Hot Orange, Lazy Lemon, Tropicombo.
This is a soft drink so it isnt't very nutritional but states on the can : "Low Gas, No Added Sugar".
Which is probably good with no added suger but I myself could feel the gas and the bubbles popping as I consumed the drink.
The "Jazz Berry" stuff tastes pretty much the same as some other drinks such as dr peper and pepsiblue.
I am glad I tried the drink but i much prefer Dr pepper it has that quality moreish taste and does't give me the burps.
Jazzy berry could do to be priced around 30- 35 p as that is the level I would place the brand and the quality at as oppsed to the 59p ...
