If this makes it onto the shelves, I'll be buying by the truckload. It makes a refreshing change from all the other drinks that have turned into carbonated flavoured aspartame.
 
There's corn syrup in English Pepsi ?
What's in Coca-Cola ? Corn syrup too ? Or real sugar ?

There's real sugar in (mainland) European Coca-Cola.

Ehm, the new ingredients have nothing to do with how much co2 they pump in.
More CO2 = More acid, which requires the preservatives, acid will denature those natural ingredients. I'd imagine the weaker carbonation is a choice to increase shelf life.

I'll probably drink this.

i was under the impression that coke was only made with corn syrup in the USA, i know it's made with cane sugar in the caribbean.

It's made with real sugar in Europe too. The first time I went to the US and got a coke I thought that I had picked diet coke by mistake, that corn syrup drink they sell you is really awful :p

only launching it in bars and clubs is stupid


Not really that's the places it's need the most Whiskey / Rum and Coke variants taste HORRIBLE with Pepsi. Mostly because of how much corn syrup they put in it.

if people order rum and coke, they aren't going to tell the difference, and people aren't going to drink pepsi straight in a bar unless they are lost.

Try them one after another.... Rum and Pepsi tastes like fucking cough syrup mostly because it's so sweet. Rum mixes with coke better because of the more bitter taste to it.

Oh, I understand there are subtle differences there that would allow someone to have a preference, but when people take it to the point where they hate one and love the other, and they won't even drink it...:lol. C'mon.
Are you nuts? The difference is huge. Coke has a bite and isn't as sweet. Pepsi doesn't have the bite and is sweeter. It is a pretty drastic difference and is the reason the 2 companies have survived.

I for one do not care about this organtic craze "Oh nose thiers pesticides on my fruit" yeah well you couldn't taste it 5 years ago before the media convinced you that this was a problem...

A critical mistake my friend, this is the best:

- Shame I haven't had any in months, I only drink Coke when I'm at the cinema, after I had one tooth out, I'm trying to stop any more for a while, as that really wasn't pleasant.

GIVE US CRYSTAL PEPSI BAAAAAAAACK.

Ditto. You'd think teh powaz of the intergnats would have gotten behind a push for a return...

I bet you if someone made a YouTube vid that was a collection of thousands of people saying "bring back Crystal Pepsi" over and over, with Van Halen background music, that Pepsi would bring it back. Corporations love stupid shit like that.
 
Sound interesting I guess. I don't really drink much soda, mostly because I don't like heavily carbonated drinks so hopefully they're right about it containing less fizz. Everytime I drink a soda I feel as if it's stripping the enamel off my teeth and the skin off my tougne:lol
 
I hate sodas. They screw up my teeth and my weight. To me this is like having healthier heroin - now with extra protein!
 
Here are the obvious locations

Initially, Pepsi Raw will only be available in selected bars and clubs in seven cities — London, Manchester, Glasgow, Brighton, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool, although a wider roll-out is expected later in the year.

mmmmmmmmmmmm bacon :lol

:lol

Although I'm sure thats a joke, you wouldn't believe the crazy amounts of odd flavored drinks get released/tried in Japan. I'm sure a bacon flavored soda has been tried there. I wish it was like that back here in US. I loves my exotic carbonated drinks!

pepsi blue was god himself in soda form. they still make it in mexico. it makes me want to go to mexico.

holy shit. they still make it? can i order it online?
 
Blah as much I enjoy a Pepsi now and then, all talks about it being more healthier to your teeth is rubbish. The thing that makes Cola drinks hurt your teeth is the low PH-value, not the sugar. Hopefully they keep this in mind.

I'll give it a go for sure if it gets here.
