PepsiBlue as witty rejoinder

There's some connection between Pepsi Blue and astroturfing / viral marketing. It's frequently used as an insult on link blogs (ie http://www.metafilter.com). Can somebody explain this aspect? 68.105.116.192 14:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What are the name of the other drinks?

I read that there are other drinks out there that imitate the taste of PB. What are they?

I'd like to know this too, I used to love this drink. --Jelligraze 04:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Safeway sells a clone called "Blue Razz Blast" Soda. As far as I know, they do have this in all Safeway affiliated stores. I will need to check if they are still distributing this brand, but they were definitely selling this in 2005. Sorry for not citing. Please bring back PB. ~sunbun 05:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The rumor of Code Blue Mountain Dew

Before this product was released, my mother had a conversation with a Pepsi distributor, and he stated that a "Code Blue Mountain Dew" would be released, similar in branding to then-recently released Code Red Mountain Dew. Would there be any resources that could verify that the Code Blue rumor would eventually turn out to be Pepsi Blue? It would be something to note in this article, if indeed it can be verified.

There arent any other drinks to my knowledge that tried to immitate the taste of Pepsi Blue, but if you want to make your own pepsi blue (bear with me, you'll think this is bullcrap at first) you need a regular small bottle of Mountain Dew and a blueberry baby bottle pop. Pour the powder into the Mountain Dew, using a funnel and DON'T SHAKE!!!!! If anything, pour into a bowl and stir, then return to the bottle with the funnel or move the bottle in a circular motion until the powder dissolved.

I know that this sounds a little farfetched but it works. My friend and I were sitting in at our church in the youth room, and we were both sippin on some MD. Well we got bored so we started stealing stuff from the "prize chest" and among the booty were a few baby bottle pops. My friend bet me to pour a baby bottle pop into my MD and drink the whole thing - so I agreed and did it. IT TASTED JUST LIKE PEPSI BLUE. NO KIDDING. This was the Sunday before ST. Patricks day and of course, what did we do? We went down to Sam's club and bought a 24 pack of MD and a case of baby bottle pops and we bottled this stuff up and sold it at $2/bottle. We made a $10 profit - not much, but we still got $5 each and made a bunch of people at school happy.

POV?

"'Fruity' as in the sense of artificial fruit, such as lollipops and popsicles; for artificial fruit flavoring seldom tastes like actual fruit."

Does this sound a little POV to anyone else?

Not really, seeing as regardless of whether you enjoy it, does artifical fruit flavouring taste like real fruit.

Controversy

I heard that Pepsi Blue's discontinuation was due to a controversy involving a kid faking suicide by drinking Pepsi Blue from a bottle of cleaning fluid. The bottle had been previously cleaned out, of course, but it got people's attention enough to realize that Pepsi Blue looked similar to typical household cleaners.

That is the reason one does not often find blue food products. They just don't look like food! -Alex

i call bs... why wouldn't he just use Gatorade? --The Animal 00:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Misc

Tasted like melted cotton candy. -james_anatidae 07:21, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

- Really, really thick cotton candy maybe. I thought it tasted like corn syrup mixed with that snow cone coloring. Yankee Rajput 15:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I actually liked it. I'm the only person I've ever met or even heard about who did. -Litefantastic 16:51, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I never got a chance to TRY it. I've been dreaming of a blue soda since I was a three years old boy. *weep*

I also loved it and was distraught when I'd learned that they had cancelled it. KnowledgeLord 23:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My friend *LOVES* Pepsi Blue, and I must admit, I find it quite tasty myself. My friend is a strage person and buys 12-packs of Pepsi Blue on ebay (?!) for $30-$50. I told his parents to consider therapy for him.

Hah, I like how the article compares the taste to a 7-11 Slurpee. There are regular Pepsi flavoured Slurpees, ironically enough. Not to mention the countless other flavours that taste nothing like Pepsi Blue. Gregmitch 23:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I loved the soda. Everytime I saw it, I'd buy it. Tcatron565 20:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tasted like a weird carbonated Kool-aid drink to me. I actually still have an unopened 20oz bottle that I bought because I predicted that it would flop (hoping to sell on eBay) - maybe I should have bought a case, in hindsight FyreWulff 13:27, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

blue crush?

Was pepsi blue not just Blue Crush soda that was out for many years before pepsi blue? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The binary soul (talk • contribs) 06:40, 30 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
