    Anybody tried it yet? Heard about it from a friend and managed to get one at Kroger before heading to the game last Tuesday. Tried it and its not too bad. Its basically a better tasting sparkling punch you would buy from an off-name brand like Parade, Hill Country, or some store brand. I think its the best new drink since MD Code Red. Didnt like Vanilla Coke at all and Pepsi blue was just "ehhh" to me.

    If you curious the bottle looks like this:

    Its in a clear bottle unlike the green colored Sprite bottle.

    Ummm, just wanted to note that I was almost finished with the bottle when I took that picture, hence is why its almost empty. Its as clear as the normal Sprite is.

    I saw it at my store. I didn't but it. I thought it was gonna be there tommorow. I opted for Nestea. I love that drink.

    Hey, doesn't 7Upside Down taste familiar to anyone?

    I was thinking Mountain Dew, but it's not. I can't remember where I've tasted it.

    btw, it ain't bad either.

    Stupidest new drink: Dr. Pepper Red Fusion. It tastes the exact same (slightly more carbonation), has the same EXACT ingredients (except for like Blue No. 40 or something), and costs the same.

    Pepsi Blue SUCKS. The WORST drink ever known to mankind.

    Cherry coke and red pop are what I crave!!!

    Yeah, I would rather drink sulfuric acid or motor oil than try Blue again.

    This is what I think their motto should be:

    "Pepsi Blue - - The bliss of fruity piss."

    I tried a gulp of it at my mother-in-law's house, but I couldn't remember the exact name of the drink to start a thread about it.

    Damn good stuff. I even tried it at room temperature and it was good. Sprite is so much better when it's ice cold, and this is probably the same.

    Ever since Code Red came out, soft drink companies have been looking for the next big trendy drink.

    Red Fusion is OK....Dr. Pepper is simply the greatest soft drink ever invented, so it will never be as good as the original. Pepsi Blue was mediocre. Vanilla Coke is good, though I like to make my own version at home with vanilla extract and put about twice as much vanilla flavor in it.

    dnL is just horrid...Mr. Mooch, I believe "Mutated Mellow Yellow" is the term you're thinking of...

    Oh yeah...am I the only person that likes to put lemon juice in Dr. Pepper? I ALWAYS ask for some lemons when I order Dr. Pepper in a restaurant...compliments the flavor perfectly. Maybe I'll email Dr. Pepper and find out if they're going to come out with a lemon flavored version.

    I'll get lemon in just about anything nowadays.

    I have it in Coke, sometimes Sprite (doesn't really "enhance" the flavor), Dr. P, of course, and tomato juice, although it ain't a soft drink (with celery salt and a couple drops of Tabasco w/ the lemon).

    The Pepsi Twist/Diet Coke w/ Lemon thing is allright. I mean it IS marketing propoganda. But how hard is it to get a REAL lemon slice/wedge!?!

    They should bring back New Coke or Clear Pepsi:D.

    It's officially out in 3 days.

    Weird, it hasnt came out offically? Hmm, my friend works at Kroger and he said their place got it last tuesday, same day I got it. He was at San Jac Mall last Friday and said that they were giving them out for free, full 20oz bottles of them.

    I agree with Mooch, Clear Pepsi was the best drink that came out in the early nineties PERIOD!!! Love that drink. I also like the cherry flavored drinks, Pepsi, Coke, and 7up. The dnL drink is ok, to much of a citrus flavor, kinda reminds me of Squirt.

    Why don't they just call it "Tropical Sprite"?

    What's the point of "Remix"? Does it make it sound hip? Hey I'm drinkin da Remix.

    I agree!! It does taste so freakin' familiar, but I don't know what it resembles. I really like that Caffinated 7Up -- best new drink since Code Red.

    I think my store put them out a few days ago too.


    My stop n go has it, and i bought it, and the lady at the counter was looking at this, like she hasn't seen it before. She asked me if It was good.

    I told her I was going to try it.


    Upon further review, it taste like some wine cooler or something, with fuzzyness to it.

    I think i'll but it every now and then, but I am sticking to Sprite, with out da remix.
