The one true nectar of the gods.

Did you guys try this this summer? There was a display at my local grocery store with 20 oz. bottles for a quarter each. Must not have been a hot seller.

I couldn't bring myself to even taste it, so I gave it to my little sister.

>gimmick is that it's a spicy, cinnamon version of Pepsi
>call it Pepsi Fire
>decide to launch it during the blazing heat of the literal middle of summer

Hit me with more examples of food and beverage companies failing at marketing

Tried this a few times. Not too bad, but definitely not something I'd get over and over again. Like, maybe once in a while is good enough. Still doesn't hold a candle to the God tier Summer Mix they sold a decade ago.

Though I've never had the Slurpee version of Pepsi Fire yet. Is it any good?

For me I get that Pepsi taste, but with this certain Sprite-like crispness to it. I don't know if it was the lack of caramel coloring, or it was reformulated a certain way, but I definitely agree with how different it tastes.

Redpill me on this shit right here. Anything about this acid sugar water poison I should know about, other than the fact I'm fucking pissed they will never bother to bring back based Summer Mix?
