Remember drugstore soda fountains where they'd mix things like cherry syrup into Coke upon request? Remember when HFCS didn't make all softdrinks taste like drain cleaner? Pepsi is experimenting with the viability of that market.
After several years as a 'test product' Pepsi has made sugar Pepsi a mainline product. At standard prices, unlike Coke/Dr Pepper/others who make or import sugar formulas at greatly exaggerated prices up to $2/12oz.
This is the second year Pepsi has experimented with sugar Wild Cherry Pepsi. It's not 'fer shure' available everywhere. Just came to Kroger and I just got my hands (tongue) on some. ZOWEE! I don't care if Coke TM'd the phrase "real thing"-- which US Coke definitely is NOT-- Cherry Pepsi IS! I'm going back to Kroger and buy all they have against the possibility it may disappear.
You'll have to look closely. I asked the Pepsi guy, he pointed to it in those plastic screwtop bottles that wont stand up on wire fridge shelves, I said "yes it says sugar but it doesn't say cherry". It's like they're hiding it. "Cherry" is on the label but you have to turn it sideways to see it.
Anyhow if legacy soda flavors are something you miss, try Sugar Wild Cherry Pepsi and if you like it (pretty sure you will) buy all they have. All Pepsi has to see is that there is demand for REAL flavors and they will meet it. Stop HFCS pollution in the foodchain and have a great time doing it.
