There are several soft drinks that probably use cinnamon in small amounts as a "flavor bomb" of a total taste, and none of them are new. On the surface, "just" adding cinnamon would probably taste good to me.

 

But - since the name and labeling will emphasize "Fire", it will most likely taste like Pepsi with a box of Red-Hots in it, which would not appeal to me.

It's a 'nay' for me.  That just sounds wrong.  Granted, I don't purchase this brand, anyway, but I cannot imagine it being palatable with cinnamon in there.

 

I don't even drink soft drinks that much, anyway (maybe one a week or I go months without any at all), and when I do I'm pretty much down to diet 7-Up, Diet Squirt, and Diet Ginger Ale.   Every now and then diet Dr Pepper but, for some reason, the caramel-colored ones don't taste as good to me anymore so I stick with the clear ones.

We've already learned you don't mess with Coke.    If I want Pepsi, I want original Pepsi.   Don't add anything, don't take anything away, stick with true flavors.

I am all a sucker for the new flavors. Every new flavor of Oreos, M&M's, yogurts I try.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.
