Coca-Cola Move and Peeps Pepsi

[Mysterian]

Coke has to put out a new flavor every year so people will be disgusted and continue to stick to regular Coke. I discovered a new Coke yesterday, Coke Move. The bottle said it tastes like "Transformation". I tried it, it tastes like coconut Coke. Far as I know, no transformation took place, but I will keep you posted.

I also spotted a yellow Peeps Pepsi but had to pass because it probably tastes like Buyer's Remorse.

I saw the Peeps Pepsi. I couldn't believe my eyes. If anyone decides to waste money on that, let us know how it tastes!

Why doesn't coke transform into using real cane sugar? That would be a big hit.

These limited edition cokes come out every few months. I've tried a few of them since the first one came out last year. I think Move tastes like a bad, cheap rum and coke cocktail.

All Peeps are disgusting.

You can buy it like that in several places in CA. It's "Mexican" Coke.

I wouldn't spend money to try that. Peeps are disgusting. I had the watermelon flavored ones once and were one of the worst treats I've ever had.

I think they do for the Mexican version of Coke and it's WAY better than the version sold in the US and Europe.

Agreed which is why I don't understand why they wouldn't replace the inferior American recipe with the Mexican one?

You really don't understand? Corn syrup is cheaper than cane sugar. By a LOT. Federal regulators here LOVE corn sugar, and food lobbies will prevent corn syrup from ever being outlawed in our food here, like it is in Europe and Mexico.

I bought one and kept it chilled in the fridge until the college kids were home for spring break.

It tasted like Carmex infused Pepsi. Nobody liked it …

European Coke doesn't have HFCS, either.

Hmm, I didn't know that. I really dislike European Coke so I didn't drink it a lot. However I LOVE their version of Fanta.

I’m one of the very few who liked “New Coke” in the 80s and was sorry to see its demise after a few years.

I like the Coke Move - it was pretty good. I really got into Starlight last year. They put out these flavors several times a year now - they are hit and miss though.

Try toasting Peeps-they're very good that way. Just make sure and wait until the burnt sugar is cooled enough to eat.

I don't know how Coke can be so bad at getting new flavors. They need to steal the flavor developers from Dr Pepper because they always nail it. They also don't put stupid, meaningless names on their flavors. The new Dr Pepper Strawberries and Cream is pretty good!

Would you say you were transformed?

Sure but it seems like a big win for Coke to transition to natural ingredients. Would help them take market share from Pepsi. Plus it is the flavored waters that is really hurting their business.

So, ideal not to eat them when they're a flaming ball of sugar?

Well if Coke did that, who's to say Pepsi wouldn't do the same thing?

No, but I only drink the Zero Sugar versions, so it may not work.
