Pepsi Nitro
Anyone try it yet? I tried one can tonight. Rather unimpressed -tasted like flat vanilla cola to me. but, it also came from WalMart (only place I have seen it yet), so it could have been mishandled.

Nitrogen. Almost all sodas contain Carbon Dioxide. The nitrogen creates smaller bubbles (and produces a foamy "head").
Does anyone remember the old soda fountains? The ones that used the big metal canisters? I want that back!

I'd assume it makes the Pepsi "creamier", and I agree that I wouldn't want to drink that. For those who remember, it reminds me of Laverne's Pepsi and milk concoction...yech.

It's not at all what I want a soda to be. The fizzier the better. Pepsi Nitro was creamy, flat, and boring.

And it's more expensive than regular Pepsi, so unless there is a sample, I am going to pass.
Wonder what Starlight Coke tastes like. We have had it in all the grocery stores in 12 pack cans and 2-liter bottles, but not in convenience stores. Not going to pay $2.85 for a 2-liter bottle just to throw it out if I don't like it. A 12-pack of cans is $5.75 in my area. In the past I waited to find a new flavor in a convenience store can and pay up to a $1.25 maximum to try it. If I like it (like the Black Cherry Soda Shop Pepsi), I will then buy it in the grocery store. However, I will still wait until there is a sale that is a BOGO so I can buy my usual flavors as well.
