Not since they came out with Hubba Bubba bubblegum soda has there been anything as nasty as Berry Pepsi. Brought to you through the wonder of modern chemistry... a sparkling blue. Nice to look at, lousy to drink. As long as someone has asked about Vanilla coke, I thought Id start this thread. My wife took one sip and had to go brush her teeth and use mouthwash after she finished. And still couldn't get the taste out of her mouth. I guess you caould say that she didn't like it. :-)

Now, I'll try the vanilla coke... I liked both Vanilla and Cherry cokes from a soda fountain, but haven't tried either in the bottle.. Guess it's time...

Tried it. Hated it. Maybe the teen-agers will like it. I'm sure they taste-tested it, but, yuck.

Actually I didn't mind it. If you think you are getting Pepsi then you will be sadly disappointed. As carbonated berry drinks go, it isn't so bad.

However, I was at Shea Stadium a few weeks ago and they were giving them out after the game. As we walked to our car, my daughter and I counted 17 open bottles that were either half full or only appeared to have a sip or two taken. We did not see any empty bottles in the debris at Shea.

I don't know if Mets fans are a scientific sampling, but if they have any say this drink won't be around long.

Does anybody remember a few years ago when Coors tried to market a mint flavored beer? I still have nightmares.
