"Apple & ginger" "Spicy apple"

Why would you try to emulate traditional hot winter drinks in the medium of soda, which is always served cold? That's just a fundamental disconnect right there

    Locally, both Pepsi and Coke have both gone bananas with seemingly endless new sugar-free flavours recently and all of them are terrible

    They're not named like perfumes though, just Pepsi Max Ginger or whatever

      Out of the literal dozen flavors they've come out with here, only Pepsi Mango has tasted good

      And that's mainly because it tastes nothing like Pepsi and more like a fizzy mango tea

      Much better than Pepsi's other flavor outings, like marshmallow or salted caramel

        What really hurts them is that they only do these flavours for the aspartame versions which already taste weird and bad

      I’m happy to inform you that we now have a new AI-generated Coke flavor in stores! Thank St. Friedman for our capitalist overlords’ gifts.

      I've not seen many of those lately, MtnDew seems to be flying off the handle around me. I have a hunch it's in response to supply chain instabilities. They want to avoid ever having all those empty shelves out there losing revenue so they're getting people used to drinking whatever soda-mcrib ingredients the market makes most available to them for cheapest.
