They have Diet Coke Lemon and Diet Coke Lime.

Probably because the ladies drinking Diet wanted something to make it taste better, so they'd started ordering them in restaurants with lemon/lime twists. Kinda like my mom asks for a glass of 'just water, with a lemon twist'.

I don't know about diet coke/pepsi lime/lemon flavored, but if you take a real lime/lemon and squeeze the juice into the diet drink it becomes pretty good.


(Tee hee hee, I'm a crappy speller so I am very self conscious about it. I was checking my spelling in abi-word and it wanted to capitalize "pepsi" but not "coke"....)

We've been drinking that crap for years, only it's called Coca-Cola Light. And it tastes almost like regular Coca-Cola. I guess they wanted to see if people didn't die from it before marketing it in the US.

I remember the crystal pepsi fiasco in the US.

The only thing worse is they are marketing the old crystal pepsi formula with a powerade-ish blue tint as pepsi blue here in Korea over 10 years after the original crystal pepsi.

Not only is it insulting, it tastes like shit and it looks the exact same color as the aditive you put into your toilet bowl.

It's only been out a very short time here.

I'm still more impressed with the diet caffeine free coke. I still don't understand how it tastes better than diet coke but it does.

pepsi blue exists over in the states as well. for some odd reason i actually like it better than regular pepsi.

I hate Pepsi Blue- I can't detect any sort of Cola flavour, it's like drinking a posicle.

Speaking of freaky nasty soda flavors that have somehow managed to take off, Mt. Dew: Code Red. Gaaahhhh!. Please keep the cherry syrup from your cough medicine out of my Mt. Dew.

More problems that come about from having the Coca-Cola world HQ across the street from your campus:

So yesterday I decided to use my meal plan and get some 'food' at the dining hall instead of cooking ramen. Guess what? It is Coke Day and so everything that they cooked up some some sort of Coke drink as part of it. Everything. Even the mashed potatoes and gravy.

So if Coke comes out with a nasty new flavor, remember this: it is still not the monstrosity that was green bean casserole baked with Sprite.

Part of the food? They can't do that. It's against some religions to drink stuff like Coke.

My old scout master used to use Pepsi and ketchup to make barbeque sauce.


Yes, it was nasty. It was really nasty when under cooked.
