Okay, this is something I noticed years ago traveling about the Caribbean islands. The Pepsi somehow tasted better and didn't make me thirsty after wards nearly as much. Well I found out that it was because in the states, the sweetener used is corn syrup, while in the REST of the world for the most part, Cane/Beet sugar is used. This results in a crispy taste that's lighter and refreshing as all get up. It's the same in Europe! It began to interfere with my Belgian Bier ( on tap no less) drinking....
Now during Passover, you can buy Kosher Pepsi for a limited time, and by my tongue, it has a bit more taste, but I'm not sure that means it's better. I was unaware of Kosher Pepsi, since I'm not Jewish, till one day I was in a Jewish deli getting a Corned Beef sammy. There it was displayed, and I was instantly excited.... sugar Pepsi, oh those crafty Jews....
They had accomplished what I could not.
My hats off to them!
But now Pepsi has caught on (they've done this before), and brought it back for the Playoffs and Super Bowl (smart!)
Run, don't walk to the stores and buy all you can!
You won't be sorry.....
