First coined Brad drink way back in 1893 Pepsi has undergone many changes in
taste and style over the years with the new pineapple Pepsi hitting shelves in
the US this summer fans of the drink are converging again
to rank the soda here is the official foolproof list of the 10 best pepsi
drinks ranked worst to best Pepsi Kona coffee it's hot Pepsi
first marketed in May of 1996 Pepsi Kona made its debut in Philadelphia and was
yet another addition to the popular 90s trend of coffee flavored soft drinks
this being Pepsi's second attempt at a morning beverage hopes were high for
pepsi Kona and every effort was put into its advertising if Pepsi was going to
make a dent into actual coffee sales in America it had to step up its game maybe
we should be talking about how this is better than coffee the company rose to
the occasion creating early advertisements for the new drink which
included a hilarious video of singer Tom Jones performing his hit it's not
unusual while in a diner there was also the famous Kona Hummer which would drive
around town and hand out samples of the coffee flavored beverage was drink but
despite the company's best efforts Pepsi Kona never made it to national
distribution and production was halted before the flavor ever left Philly and
although the taste passed every quality test people just didn't seem to want to
part with their usual cup of joe Pepsi blue where's the bull where's the why
the blue color Pepsi blue boasted an ambiguous berry flavor and was known to
catch the consumers eye with its striking blue color originally launched
in North America in 2002 Pepsi blue only made it two years in the Western market
before being discontinued largely due to disinterest and a nefarious coloring
agent illegal in most countries don't worry it's just water and food coloring
food coloring the most poisonous substance
two robots the drink was targeted at early teens and tasted much more sugary
than the original soda many consumers guessed when it came to the flavor
raspberry cotton candy and blueberry were common guesses but Pepsi never
confirmed any of them throughout its short career in the US and Canada Pepsi
blue spawned advertisements starring popular celebrities like Britney Spears
the band sev and Papa Roach which unfortunately did little to raise sales
Pepsi blue also had its own signature vehicle in the form of a Volkswagen new
beetle which handed out free bottles of blue around popular shopping malls
everyone the soda was also famously promoted during New York Mets games
where the blue colored drink became synonymous with the colors of the ball
club although Pepsi blue is no longer
available in North America it's still up for grabs in the Philippines and
Indonesia Crystal Pepsi I give you Crystal Pepsi all the great taste of
regular Pepsi but without that troublesome opacity possibly one of the
more famous discontinued flavors of Pepsi out there due to its short
comeback in the 2010s Crystal Pepsi made waves in North America between 1992 and
94 originally sold in Europe in the 1990s Crystal Pepsi boasted a
caffeine-free marketing plan but it says caffeine-free because you don't pay
extra for the caffeine it's free within its first year in the US Crystal Pepsi
ranked and one whole percent of American soft drink sales totaling around a
whopping 474 million dollars seen the success of the drink coca-cola quickly
manufactured a copycat drink called tab clear which was designed specifically to
create an unpopular drink taking the spotlight away from Crystal Pepsi and
making clear soda seem like a dime a dozen
that's worse than dishonest sucks evil by 1993 Pepsi had pulled the drink out
of production and succumbed to the kamikaze effect created by tab clear in
March of 2015 however petitions to bring back the flavor rocked the internet and
Crystal Pepsi was turn to shelves by the summer of 2016 to
the pleasure of the public since then the soda has been released again a
handful of times but has never seen the same level of success as when it was
first released Pepsi twist boom twist Pepsi twist made its way to the US in
the summer of 2000 and lasted on shelves until it was discontinued in 2006 as one
of Pepsi's first citrus flavored drinks Pepsi twist had a distinct lemon taste
which the company hoped would fly out of stores like crazy during the summer
months the sodas formula underwent many variations as it was marketed outside of
North America for example becoming a lime flavored drink in Brazil in 2003
Pepsi twist was marketed during the Superbowl with a commercial starring
Ozzie Jack and Kelly Osbourne with Florence Henderson and Donny and Marie
Osmond longtime Pepsi collaborator Britney Spears also famously endorsed
the flavor appearing in a comedic ad with Austin Powers balance by name
balance by reputation for unknown reasons the drink was taken off the
market and is no longer among the pepsi flavors listed on their website however
the flavor is still available in many other countries outside the US just
before the halt in production a toy by the name of pepsi optimus prime was
created by a japanese company under the name of pepsi convoy the toy came
packaged in a pepsi twist box and mimicked the classic pepsi branding
colors caffeine-free Pepsi moon caffeine for years first introduced in 1982 under
the name Pepsi free the drink gave the soda market quite a shock as it was the
first caffeine free beverage created and marketed by a major brand were you doing
it you should be treated caffeine upon release the cans color mimicked Coca
Cola's standard red but caffeine-free Pepsi later changed their background
color to gold to lessen confusion between the two the soda also seems to
have one of the longest track records for movie appearances making two
separate cameos in the 1983 flick mr. mom as well as
appearances in the 1986 film Cobra with Sylvester Stallone and the blockbuster
classic Back to the Future caffeine-free Pepsi has done as well in stores since
its release and continues to be a featured item on the Pepsi website
besides if these film appearances or anything to go by it's safe to say that
caffeine-free Pepsi is the way to go Pepsi vanilla like vanilla oh come on
Vanilla's and girls flavor commonly known as a staple in the history of the
company Pepsi vanilla was first bottled in North America the summer of 2003 the
vanilla Cola drink was an attempt to take away some of the sales being made
by rebel company coca-cola was there vanilla coke flavor oh yeah Lucas don't
cook around 2008 the soda was mysteriously discontinued but replaced
on shelves as a permanent flavor a while later according to consumers Pepsi
vanilla is simply a slight variant of the original Pepsi flavor and offers an
extra kick of vanilla sweetness and every sip coupling the North America
release Pepsi vanilla was also widely marketed in the Philippines for a
limited time along with the infamous Pepsi line
unfortunately the flavor didn't last long there and was removed in 2018
sporting the usual brown color of Pepsi the design of Pepsi vanilla can be
distinguished by a picture of the vanilla flower and beans on the bottles
label right beside the standard red blue and white globe Pepsi wild cherry oh and
let me get a cherry cup this version of Pepsi first came onto the scene in 1988
a versatile soda it comes in diet and vanilla cherry forms respectively and
even branched out into the cosmetics market as a cherry lip balm which
reminds on shelves today glitter on your lips
cherry-flavored want to taste still widely available in canada and the u.s.
pepsi wild cherry has also found a home in the Netherlands and the Czech
Republic before 2005 the soda was known by a slightly different name wild cherry
Pepsi but was later rebranded with a slight change in formula in 2007 the
classic blue red and white logo was also under reconstruction which caused a
second rebranding issue with the cherry flavored soda as the name of the brand
needed to be moved up on the bottle to accommodate the new globe design Pepsi
wilds cherry is still available for purchase and has received plenty of rave
reviews on Pepsi's website described as having a sweet crisp taste the drink is
still going strong and is a standout in the soft drink world pepsi lime you
leave my lime alone this soda flavor was first introduced in 2005 as a diet soda
and spawned heavy competitor drinks like lime coke from the coca-cola company in
2007 it was discontinued for a short time due to a lack of advertisement but
it was shortly reintroduced in the summer of 2019 as a specialty drink
alongside mango and berry flavors I developed a new formula which allowed me
to get every known kind of berry in a one flavor journey similar to the Pepsi
twist flavour this soda offers a kick of lime with every sip the lime mango and
berry flavors were also the first time Pepsi added real fruit juice to their
drinks the packaging for pepsi lime was modeled after the standard Pepsi can and
includes the trademark globe and the brand's name in lowercase adding a
little image of a sliced lime in the bottom right hand corner to distinguish
the can from regular Pepsi today Pepsi lime is still considered one of the
company's true successes Diet Pepsi why is there a dusty gas station in a Diet
Pepsi machine in your office while Pepsi has come out with some outlandish
flavors over its many years of operation one of its greatest successes comes from
the slight variant their original drink Diet Pepsi first
marketed in 1963 Diet Pepsi includes zero sugar and was one of the first diet
colas to be distributed nationwide in the US I prefer sugar-free artificial
sweeteners made by bad since then it has become a global phenomenon as it was
later released in the UK greatly expanding the drinks market reach and
becoming almost as much of a household name as the original Pepsi first
marketed as a patio drink the soda reached great levels of success with the
generation of increasingly health-conscious baby boomers and
overall shift in North American dietary habits Diet Pepsi represented 5.3
percent of all American soft drink sales as of 2010 ranking as the number seven
soft drink brand by volume Diet Pepsi continues to prove its versatility as a
marketing brand and is still being adapted to make Diet versions of many
other Pepsi flavors it was also the first product to have a freshness date
which was later adapted by many other soft drink companies
and became a widespread practice within the industry Diet Pepsi has made a name
for itself in the industry and has earned its rightful spot at the top of
this list Pepsi all in one of the Pepsi taking the number one spot on the list
will be a shocker to no one the original Pepsi is indeed the best
Pepsi flavor still to this day originally launched way back in the late
1800s as Brad's drink it was renamed to Pepsi Cola right before the turn of the
20th century and then shortened to just Pepsi in the early 1960s it said that
Pepsi gained their popularity during the Great Depression due to simply offering
larger bottles at the same price as the smaller bottles the competition was
offering a way more bang for your buck now however Pepsi is a giant second only
to coca-cola in the soda game their commercials and brand deals with
celebrities have been a large part of their image iconic commercials featuring
the likes of Britney Spears of course dancing or working night shift when an
in-store ad of Shakira turns into the real Shakira maybe you're more into
Beyonce strutting her stuff at a gas station to get a Pepsi how about the
classic version of that commercial which features Cindy Crawford also strutting
her stuff at a gas station to get her hands on a Pepsi no not all the ads
featured just attractive women a favorite is the classic Pepsi commercial
where a coca-cola worker tries to sneak a Pepsi with unfortunate results take
that coca-cola go easy on the Pepsi stick around and tap that screen for
