Did you know that Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi was invented by the CIA to give black people AIDS and keep them addicted to meth?
You thought Crystal Pepsi was a one-time thing, didn’t you.
Fools.
BECAUSE OF THE PHENYLALANINE!
Glad to see I’m not the only person that’s made an accidental Cherry Pepsi purchase. The company does a crappy job making the bottle look different from the regular product.
Moral of the story?
Drink more Moxie.
Last week I mixed every diet pepsi brand I could lay my hands on together and drank it. Regular, vanilla, lemon, lime, cherry, all of it.
And it tasted exactly like Pine-Sol.
Phenolketoneurics beware!
I don’t even want to know what your drinking habits were in college.
Forget the Pepsi. Try Diet Rite Tangerine.mmmmmmmmm gooooooood!
Apprapo of nothing, I tried the new Coca-Cola Zero and it doesn’t suck nearly as bad as diet Coke.
Myself, I’m a Schweppes Raspberry Ginger Ale man.
…and yet we have the nerve to laugh at our ancestors, with their sarsparilla, Yoo-Hoos, and for the old coots, celery tonic.
I would drink sasparilla on principle. Just because I love the word.
Same with celery tonic, come to think of it.
Jeff,
Let’s be honest, here. It was you who bought the Pepsi. It didn’t pick you. So, I think maybe you should start taking a little responsibility for this.
Spam word: rum. Goes better with coke. But Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi will do, if that’s your only choice.
Cherry Coke, or Classic Coke. Or IBC Root Beer.
I’m ashamed of that.
Hey barkeep, you got any of that Souix City Sasparilla back there?
That is, more correctly, sarsaparilla. Do not laugh while drinking the stuff; it is especially irritating to the nasal passages. At least it seemed that way, altho the fact that I snorfed nearly an entire ten ounce bottle may have been a factor.
Diet Cherry Coke (known around here as Slim Roy) is my wee wifey’s current favorite soda (she cannot however, stand the Wild Pepsi), but it exceptionally hard to find in the groceries. I’ve seen the same complaint from bloggers in other parts of the country. Perhaps the company does not see the product as a commodity.
This is, like, your third Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi conversation in a week. Just how much of that stuff did you buy “by mistake”?
(As if we haven’t heard that one before.)
Bought one of those refrigerator 12 packs.
Jeez… Talk about a lack of tact.
swimdad
maybe to make up for your mistake you should treat yourself to some diet dp from here. sorry they don’t make the vanilla cherry variety.
Dude! If you’ve never had a DrP from Dublin, you haven’t really had it. I’d love to know why DrP in Waco tastes so freakin’ good, and in Houston it tastes like hummingbird food. Do the Grunka-Lunkas only add the “secret ingredient” to the Dublin stuff?
I just had some black cherry Fresca. My soul is forfeit.
I believe the secret ingredient is sugar.
As opposed to high-fructose corn syrup, which I’m convinced is 2% strychnine.
ding, ding, ding, ding! mcgehee gets it right! they still use pure cane sugar at the bottling plant in Dublin, however, i don’t know how widely distributed it is. i can find it at a few specialty stores(central market for one) here in dallas.
Apparently one can also order online—though I’m not sure you’d necessarily get Dublin-bottled Dr Pepper sent to, say, Denver or Atlanta…
