the pepsi test
I have actually wanted to do this for a while, but my housemates and I are often very thirsty. In total I have bought and re-bought all these different cans 4 times now.
Here we go.
Pepsi X - Energy Cola. It is actually sort of dark reddish colour and it tasted like something I have never tasted before. And sometimes that is not a good thing. Cool design, though sort of misleading you into thinking that hey! this might actually taste good. And where does the energy come from? Oh, the immediate effort to rush to the nearest garbage bin.
Pepsi Fire - Cola on Fire. I do not understand the relevance between a raspberry/uglyberry flavoured cola and a Mother Nature’s element, but if it is meant to provide a burning sensation when you have drunk the cola, it failed miserably. Also overwhelmingly sweet; the colouring doesn’t really help.
I have seen the Pepsi ad for Pepsi Fire and Pepsi Ice, where a boy and a girl saves an assembly from being burned to oblivion by a misguided effort of two kids. If it is Yin and Yang they wish to portray, bravo. Now let’s get back to the ad where Beyonce is drinking Pepsi in a half-naked state.
Pepsi Ice - Ice Mint Cola. The first thing you notice is the colour of the drink. Sure, every cola contains ‘permitted colouring and flavouring’ but may I gently remind Pepsi’s marketing department that consumers do not really like to think about all that artificial stuff unless it is staring at them in the face. Such is the case of one woeful Pepsi Ice, used to be called Pepsi Blue (for very obvious reasons). Nevertheless if they are looking for word association, may I suggest Pepsi Sky? Pepsi Ocean? Pepsi River? Pepsi Longkang?
Pepsi Twist - This is not really new though the headlines are. It screams at you, double the lemon taste! and somewhere on the can it says, double shot. A double lemon taste it is, for like everything else it is all flavouring. For 135.5mg calories, 33.44mg carbohydrate, 33.44mg total sugars and 36.48 caffeine, you get a salty cola. Not bad for RM1.05.
Pepsi Twist Light, only 36.48mg caffeine. It sucks.
Pepsi Light - 32.5mg caffeine and a shit loads of aspartame. It still sucks.
Pepsi - The original, the mother of ‘em all. It doesn’t taste half bad especially when there is no choice.
But…
Give me a Coke anytime.
Which one do you hate/love the most?

Out of them all I find Pepsi Twist most palatable especially if it’s nice and cold..
I can’t stand Pepsi ICE, I have tried them all, but please, give me a Vanilla coke any day.
And I abhor all diet versions of anything…I can’t stand the aftertaste and fake sweetness of aspartame.
I prefer coke, cause pepsi taste wierd.
Cock the BEST !!!… ops.. i means COKE !!!!
yay ~~~
my lovely dudetted suan, go and get urself a piece of pork…any parts…..and pour coke on it….see what happens
ah so not a Coke person
love my Pepsi
I know. It will sizzle like you
it does too. for some reason normal pepsi and normal coke doesn’t taste the same, though they are both equally harming. Hence if I were to die from fizzy drinks overdose, let it be coke please
Coke in the US and Coke in Msia tastes different you know
Coke and Coke only. I dont really like others.
Out of all those you are taste testing, we only have the Pepsi and Coke in Oz. I prefer coke over Pepsi. My sister however likes Pepsi so much, she named her dog Pepsi. She won’t drink coke as it’s a “major brand” … as if Pepsi isn’t!.
Hells ya, I am not a pepsi fan. It taste like flat soda. Anyways I have never even heard of any of those flavors besides pepsi and pepsi twist?! Oh well Im sure they all suck.
That is because in Malaysia we use sugar, while in US sugar is substituted with corn syrup. Just economic sense
Suan:
Give you a coke anytime? I think you misspelled BEER!
I love my Coke as much as I love you!
MUAKSSSSSS!
coke ? pepsi?
nah.. give me 100 plus or 7up :p best of all A&W root bear with ice cream *lick ~ drool*
been reading ur blog for a while but this is my first time commenting. yeah i love coke very much too. your writing reminded me of an ad i dl-ed from the internet some years back, where a boy bought two cans of pepsi from a vending machine so that he can step on them to press the highest button to buy a can of coke. wicked …
I’m unable to qualify a suitable taste preference here as my only requirement of any cola is that it be mixed with rum.
I like Vanilla Coke, i would be love Vanilla Coke if it isn’t any coke inside :P.
Btw the Pepsi Fire, the burning sensation comes from the ginger.
wahlau..i have given up soft drinks so i have no freaking idea they had so many variations. Anyway, the last thing i drank was probably decaffeinated diet coke and it tasted just as good as the real one.
the pepsi blue is disgusting, can’t comprehend the marketeer’s POV….it’s freakin radioactive blue!!!
limau ais kosong satu~
I don’t like coke much, nor pepsi. But, say, if someone held a gun to my head and asked me to pick, one, Pepsi Twist would be my live saver, hehe…
Hey suanie… I couldn’t agree wiv u more
The new varieties of Pepsi taste about as good as drain water. The worst of the lot have to be Pepsi Light. I almost barfed after taking a sip. Coke still is the real thing ^_^
actually it’s not half bad if you have a lot of ice with it. for some reason unknown to me, i always automatically order pepsi twist whenever i’m at dome. i really don’t know why. nice site btw ferret
ginger… i suppose Pepsi Ginger wouldn’t sell as much. Actually I didn’t get any burning sensation. It just tasted dry and horrible.
eh i saw that one years ago heh pepsi has some of the bestest ads tho if you are into superstars and all that. i guess the reason coke doesn’t really need to spend so much on ads is because they are tops and they know it
Wrong idea suan, you snort coke, you don’t ‘drink them. give me cola anytime !!!!!!!!
regardless the color, content, texture, bla bla bla
Coke for me always! Drink it fast from the original glass bottle, damn cold! It’s the best way.
Cant find them anymore? Pour it out onto ice leaving a little head and drink the foam. It’ll give you a nasty and nice feeling in your nose! Cool!!
Anyone tried adding salt to it? Yum!
hye.. i’m doing a research on Pepsi ICE and Pepsi Fire nuw.. thanx for the comment y’all i really need dat.. it surely sucks isn’t it? Pepsi Fire taste like tanah!! i dont know wat tanah taste like but i’m surely Pepsi Fire taste like it.. thanx for ur support for Coke.. Pepsi Sucks…
hello!if you cant do anything,i suggest stop publishing these kind of websites. you know why pepsi ice is called such?its not the old pepsi blue ok? it has allura red and sparkling blue color.and it has mint flavoring ok. you should have thought that 60% of cola sales in the world is from pepsi.COKE?yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I think it’s called having an opinion. If Pepsi can’t take criticism then they should stop coming out with new products.
Pepsi Blue was discontinued. I’m sorry if I couldn’t taste the mint. Similarity can be overwhelming.
Btw this is the only website I publish, so to speak. Nice job, isn’t it?
