So I'm in the campus convenience store today and I spot a new variety of Pepsi, Holiday Spice. A limited edition spiced cola for the holidays, just arrived today. Its fucking two days after Hallowe'en and already the Christmas shit is on the shelves. But anyways, I was intrigued by this new product and purchased it. Not quite sure if I like it yet. Tastes like generic brand colas I've had. I'll never understand why the beverage companies release special limited edition varieties of soft drinks and what not and then take them away. What happened to Pepsi Blue, eh? EH? I really liked that stuff and now its gone. [Frown]

It's all about the money. If a product sells, it stays. If it doesn't, it goes. Try buying the same groceries at the same supermarket every week for a few months; half the items on your list disappear.

(At least, that's what they tought me in Economics, but, you know, managers.)

Pepsi has seemed to keep the 57 varieties of Mountain Dew on the shelves for quite a while.

I haven't actually seen Code Red for a while. And I never saw that special variety for the summer, either.

Code Red is popular enough around here (Mich), that it even gets it own slot in most all Pepsi machines I have seen, and is an option on tap at places such as Taco Bell. I don't mind Code Red but its almost too sweet for my liking.

Live Wire seemed to be advertised more as a limited time variety when that first came out well over a year ago and its still around, though not as popular as Code Red. I've never actually had Live Wire.

The new one is Pitch Black (Grape) that came out here 2 or 3 months ago, and I actually like quite a bit.

Overall, I am still partial to the original.... [Big Grin]

So what is the spiced pepsi supposed to taste like?

It says "cola spiced up for the season" and has hints of cinammon and nutmeg.

This new variety of MD sounds interesting, but I haven't seen it around yet.

I developed a taste for Code Red while in the US. Is it available anywhere else? Noo. . .

We'll all pool together and mail you a 2 liter bottle of it.

They pulled Live Wire? Hmm...I wasn't aware of that.

Hmm, I wonder if I can list Code Red on my Amazon wish-list. . ? 'Course, I'd actually have to have an Amazon wish-list, maybe I'll get one after Christmas when it emerges my brother didn't buy me Babylon 5 season 3 (as he's promised since he missed my birthday) but instead got me a CD. Or rather a cassette as whenever I asked for a CD he'd get me a tape instead. I have to tell him what I want for Christmas, otherwise he'd probably assume I don't want anything at all.

Where were we? So, yeah. Would USPS allow Code Red to be sent in the post?

Yeah, but there is no guarantee that it wouldn't go off like the Fat Boy when you break the seal...


...which suddenly reminds me of that milk commercials I saw once, you know the one...


...oh, that and the destruction of Nagasaki.

We've had christmas shit up since last month.
Meamwhile, many church leaders tried to ban Halloween this year because it fell on a Sunday and was "the Devil's day"....

Sickening.
