"And we got a lifetime supply of Pepsi B!"
"Aww! Free baby cola?! And here we are stuck with these stupid one-tuplets!"1. After months of threats, Pepsi has finally unleashed upon an unsuspecting world the horror that is Pepsi Blue, which in addition to being inherently wrong can also be ranked with the growing list of things abusing the word "fusion". The label describes the soda as a "berry cola fusion", which is perhaps a more artful way of saying "ohmigod, it's fuckin' blueberry Pepsi!"
The taste is actually not bad, in the same way that Crystal Pepsi tasted a lot better after they gave up on the whole clear cola thing and made it mostly a citrus drink. This is to say that I taste blueberry, and I taste cola, but overall the taste is Pepsi Blue, which should keep my interest about as long as Dr. Pepper Red Fusion did. (Number of Red Fusions bought last week: 2-3. Number bought this week: 0.)
