Pepsi Summer Mix Versus Caramel Cream Pepsi

Obviously, the competitive nature of the soda giants is emerging for the summer again. It has to happen, every year they come up with something new...hoping for the next lightning in the bottle(sorry, could not resist). I guess I would not be a soda giant for nothing, if I was not trying to push the envelope. So, along comes Ron(the guy with sucker written across his forehead) to sample these new flavors. Of course, I love sampling new things...though, my stomach will tell you differently on occasion.

Price wise there is no difference. Here, in Ohio, the prices for 2 liter bottles range from $0.89 to $1.79. The 12 packs run between $2.50 to $4.50. Since these seem to be the two most popular products purchased, I have chosen to supply you with those numbers. Then again, those are the only numbers I am familiar with since they are the only purchases I make regarding my decisions on pop. Just kidding, they have several sizes to choose from, 20 ounce bottles, 1 liter bottles, six packs of the 20 ounce bottles, and a miniature can. I have to admit, the miniature versions are usually their most famous sellers, so I highly doubt you will find any of these sample flavors in a miniature pack. If you are travelling through Ohio, you will like spend between $0.89 to $1.59 for a 20 ounce bottle, $1.29 to $1.79 for a 1 liter bottle, and the six packs will range from $2 to $4.

The Caramel Cream Pepsi is another attempt at generating a new taste within their line of cream sodas. Unfortunately, this one just does not work. It does not really taste all that pleasant, regardless whether it is cold or room temperature. The caramel taste is rather overwhelming, which is not really what you like to have with a cream soda. The idea behind the soft drink is to provide the pallate with a gentle burst of cold sweetness in the summer.
