Cinnamon Pepsi

Moonchilde — Sat, 20 May 2017 23:49:03 GMT

After trying it out as a Limited Edition Slurpee flavor at 7-11, Pepsi has decided to release a cinnamon-flavored "Pepsi Fire" in 20 oz bottles and 12-packs.

Thinking about it, I might like it for an occasional change, IF they weren't too heavy on the cinnamon. Pepsi that tastes only like Red-Hots wouldn't appeal. But I have a feeling it will be heavy on the hot, sadly.

Kind of a moot point for me unless it comes in Diet version. Wonder who thought of this.

I would try it, but I don't think I'd like it.

I still remember Cherry Coke from the 60's, and I got it from a fountain (not a can).... blech.

Purist... don't add any other flavors.

I love cinnamon candies, if this soda comes in a sugar free version....I'll definitely try it.

Not for me... I'm not a big fan of all the flavored Coke and Pepsi options and have about had my fill of all the goofy flavors that Lays is trying out with their chips.

Hmmm, I like cinnamon. Not sure how it would taste with Pepsi. As you mentioned, it looks like they're pushing the "hot" aspect so it may be too strong. It would be interesting to try it though.

@sunshine45 How about it sounds Awesome!!!

Here's what I was just about to post when I saw your comment.

I have no room in life my for being a purist. If it's new, I'm in! Once the limited time that's put on most of the new flavors is over I'll have lots of time to go back to the original.

I hope you're right @Moonchilde and the cinnamon is subtle. This sounds like the perfect mixer for Fireball. I love cinnamon and may even have a few cinnamon candy canes left to use as stir sticks.

If I find one at the store, I'll get one to try. If I don't like it, maybe I'll add liquor and finish it as a mixed drink. I wonder what would be good with cinnamon cola?

Yeh, that's how I feel. I might like it, but if it's just going for hot and nothing else I probably won't like it.

Pepsi can't even come close to the taste of Coca Cola. They're really grasping at straws here with this one. Yuck with a capital "Y."

I would try it, but I do not think I would like it especially if it is HOT!

Me personally, I rarely mix liquor with cola drinks - just don't like the taste. I've had rum & coke, but...meh.

I stick to citrusy, fruity or sweet/sour mixers and vodka or gin most of the time. Or wine. Or craft beer. But bourbon or scotch, not so much. I can drink it and do, but not my preference.

I'd be willing to try it. I do like cinnamon in small amounts. If it just gave a slight piquant flavor to the Pepsi, it might be interesting...

I'm more likely to go for flavored chips. There's the limited edition "All-Dressed" chips which is an idea borrowed from Canada that I love. Like barbecue on steroids, with more layered flavors... Might go well with cinnamon Pepsi!

I'll give it a go.

@Oznell, I'm hoping for slight but I'm betting it won't be.

The main reason I'm not fond in general of flavored chips is that the flavoring is usually 90% salt and 10% flavoring. I really dislike oversalted/very salty snacks. Trader Joe's (I think?) had a Thanksgiving Dinner chip that I really liked, as it was subtle.

Another guilty treat - Burger King's Cheeto-covered mac & cheese balls. They were popular enough that they brought them back.
