SOFT DRINK REVIEW No. 1
Pepsi NEXT
I have no business commenting on soda pops. I
rarely drink them. Still, it's much more frequent
than "never" which is when I will purchase a can
or bottle of Pepsi NEXT.
With 1/2 the sugar you have my attention. I am a
Pepsi man over Coca-Cola in any case so I welcome
the opportunity to enjoy a treat with a little less
sugar, actually HFCS which I still wish didn't exist but
no longer has me panic stricken.
The problem is the artificial sweetener Sucralose.
It is that fake sweetener flavor that ruins all diet
beverages whose makers are convinced that sweetness
trumps palatability.
Like I said...it's no sweat for me. I am not a
habitual soda pop drinker so I can afford to
"splurge" and have a regular Pepsi when I get
ready. Others though should be aware that Pepsi
NEXT, far from an improvement over either
regular OR Diet Pepsi, is instead a perfect blending
of what is wrong with the both of them. If Pepsi
really wanted to do us a favor they would release
Pepsi RAW with raw sugar or Pepsi HONEY.
