Pepsi Blue

Pepsi Blue was originally sold in the early 2000's but was re-released for a limited time last year when I tossed this bottle in the fridge. Thankfully, despite the plastic bottle it seems to have held its carbonization pressure just fine. Pepsi Blue is a "berry" flavored soda.

It smells of a blend of blueberry and raspberry. Having tasted a number of different berry flavored sodas over the years I can see why this flavor didn't last as anything more than a novelty. It's overly sugary to begin with, but the "berry" flavor rings both unnatural but too front forward as well. It probably doesn't help matters that human brains aren't readily prepared for foods that are such a shade of blue outside of some candies for kids.
