  16. In article  Tom G. Krajna, krajnatg@infonode.ingr.com writes:
  17. >Okay, it's clear that no one seems to like the new stuff.  But am I
  18. missing
  19. >something here about it *tasting* so different?  Didn't they just ditch
  20. >the coloring, leaving the flavor alone?  Can you identify Pepsi Clear in
  21. >a blind taste test vs. Pepsi Unclear?
  22.  
  23. I don't think it really tastes that bad.  Its kind of a Sprite with a 
  24. cola-like taste.  
  25.  
  26. What really seems to suck is Pepsi's marketing. Nearly every 
  27. person posting expected it to taste like Pepsi - it doesn't - so
  28. naturally everyone thinks it sucks !
  29.  
  30. The articles in the newspaper seemed to indicate that Pepsi
  31. Clear (or whatever its called) is a new recipe.  It does not
  32. have caffeine, coloring, or the carbonation that Pepsi has.
