Pepsi Holiday Spice, anyone try it? Anyone remember Crystal Pepsi?

I just saw this at Target today and decided to try it. Oddly enough, after drinking it a bit, it reminded me of the original Crystal Pepsi before they changed it to the nasty citrus version to try to improve it. My first sip I tasted the spice that I was expecting, but after that it just was Crystal Pepsi to me. Anyone else try it and think so?

Never heard of it, the holiday Pepsi that is. Gotta look for it when I'm out again.

It's not too bad. The spice taste was strong at first, but I managed to down the whole 20oz. I need to stop drinking soda.

I was sitting on a bottle and waiting to try it with dinner tonight.

After I read the thread I guess I had my opinion of the taste predetermined, because it sure did taste like Crystal Pepsi.

I liked Crystal Pepsi...not many people I know felt the same. Thanks for the heads up, gotta stock up a couple of years supply.

Well, this is something I've got to try if it ever comes to my area.

That Dr Pepper Cherry Vanila never came here. Do they still make that? I want to try it SO bad.

Best thing ever is to go to a place that has flavored syrups (coffee shops are the best) and have them add a shot to your drink. A half ounce of cinnamon syrup to Coke is the best. It brings out the light cinnamon flavor that first hits my taste buds on the rare "good" bottle of Coke.

Dude that cherry vanilla DP is a fucking joke. It tastes just like fucking regular DP. I bought a 20 oz bottle and didn't taste any of the cherry or vinilla. I assumed it was because of the bottle, and decided to get a 12 pack can. It still tated like regular DP. I was so fucking pissed. I was going to post a rant about it, but never got around to it.

Fucking A twice in a row I have been ripped. First cherry vinilla DP now this crap. Located a 12 pack at Target, let it chill for an hour, took a taste and WTF...it tastes like motherfucking Coca fucking Cola, with a cinnamon after taste rather than the bitter one that real Coke has.

Why do you keep buying 12 packs? Buy one. If I had bought a 12 pack everytime a new drink was around, I'd have 11 Pepsi Blues, 11 Diet Vanilla Cokes, 11 7up Citrus Splashes in my fridge right now.
 
Diet Vanilla Coke is awesome.

I'll have to try this new Pepsi. I vaguely remember Crystal Pepsi, but I'm pretty sure that I liked it.

Pepsi Blue sucks, as do all of the latest versions of Mountain Dew (The Taco Bell and Code Red versions excluded).

I miss Surge.

Code Red is the best. Diet Coke with Lime REALLY tastes good.

I dunno, Diet Vanilla Coke just tasted like crap to me. I was very dissapointed. Pepsi Blue felt like I was drinking melted blue slushy. Blech.

Why don't they make regular coke with lime? The diet one rocks. and for whatever twisted reason, Diet Pepsi Vanilla is all my parents ever buy. I've grown accustomed to its horridness.

cherry Vanilla DP cause I thought that the bottled



Well I bought the cherry Vanilla DP 12 pack cause I thought that the 20 oz version was the reason it tasted the same, assumed that the can would have more flavor. I couldn't believe that they would put out the same drink with a different name on it. As far as the Spiced Pepsi I couldn't find the 20 oz so I though I'd get the 12 not thinking i would get burned twice in 2 weeks.
