hello everyone this is
review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching welcome one and all to
this newest edition of the unnamed drink series yes indeed that wasn't my brain melting away this
time around but it had that sort of introduction because this is not the Running on Empty series
this is well it's whatever this is there's no name for it I just try out drinks and that
precisely is what I am doing today it's been a while since I've done a drink review but every
now and then one of these items will come along but I'll see the quest after request for me to
try out personally it's actually a bit fun to try out these sorts of drinks because I
actually got my start reviewing energy drinks all the way back in 2011 when I first started
out the channel that's all that I did energy drink reviews and uh while this is not an energy drink
by any means it's still fun to try out and again I got a lot of requests for it so let's get into it
today's review is for Pepsi pineapple it is available at Little Caesars and only Little
Caesars for a limited time so you have a bit of a partnership going on between a Pepsi and
Little Caesars and they say all right as a bit of a limited offer you can get anything
from Little Caesars but you could also get some Pepsi pineapple to wash said sustenance down with
it's just been released it's I think they first released it actually back in 2020 it was very
well received at the time so now it's back and again only available at Little Caesars so I got
some Little Caesars and I was able to get as you can see right here some Pepsi pineapple there with
so this is going to be a very straightforward review what I essentially want to do is just
take a look at the can see what's in it I'll pour it out taste it and assess it so the
name is very self-explanatory I would wager Pepsi pineapple so indeed it's pineapple flavor it's not
um grape flavor or anything like that there's no there's no trick here it's just pineapple
flavored Pepsi it is marketed they say well this is supposed to be a very pleasant tasting sweet
refreshing beverage especially for the summer season so that's why it's being released right now
it is sold in 16 fluid ounce cans and obviously these soda cans are
very reflective but I'll try to hold it up at an angle so you could see it best
so there's the Pepsi logo on the can you could see a standard can right there and there it
says pineapple Pepsi pineapple flavor with other natural flavors and Little Caesars at the bottom
to verify that it indeed is Little Caesars there's the Beast right there look at that thing
so smug it's it's got the poor Pizza skewered like that it's disgusting really oh you've
got though you do have the cool pineapple with the sunglasses so that makes up for it
there's um there's a pineapple right there as well there's another one there's a piece of cheese
and that's the bone in the middle right there
aesthetically pleasing I always like when they have a little bit of sort of unique branding
and design I always think that could be pretty cool I should mention that the price for one of
these cans is uh two dollars it's two dollars for the can you could technically order online from
Little Caesars and just get the Pepsi pineapple so technically you're not forced to buy anything with
it and you could just get the soda if you want two dollars a piece or you can get it as part
of a meal deal and they'll say if you get a thin crust pizza from Little Caesars then you could add
this on and you can get the pizza and the drink for around ten dollars so those are just the
deals but again you're not forced to download any sort of app you don't have to buy anything else if
you just want the soda you can get that but uh you have to get some Little Caesars let's look
at the nutrition facts serving size is this one can so again 16 fluid ounces 200 calories per can
uh 55 grams of sugar some of the ingredients include carbonated water high fructose corn syrup
let's see clarified pineapple juice concentrate okay that adds the uh the flavor right there
well what else have we natural flavor phosphoric acid potassium sorbate a lot
of the usual ingredients that you see in these sorts of beverages caffeine content it is I
would describe it as being mildly caffeinated as many of these sodas are caffeine content is 45
milligrams per 16 fluid ounces so it has a little bit of caffeine in it but you know not as much
that I would say it would really pack a punch or anything it's just kinda again mildly caffeinated
I certainly wouldn't be drinking this if you know you wanted to pull an all-nighter or something
and is there anything else contains one percent to juice so again Little Caesars
Pepsi pineapple pineapple flavor all right what I will do now pour it out and uh try it out
highly carbonated you could hear that
I don't know if you can hear this
but it's kind of crackling away
I could already smell the pineapple and it's you know there's no other scent to it it's
definitely pineapple send which is kind of what I was hoping for it'd be weird if I
you know opened this and it just smelled like garlic or something
and now I'm going to pour it out I will add that I am no professional a bartender or drink
Porter so say whatever you want about my uh my pouring technique and I'd say it's justifiable
I didn't pour the whole thing out I suppose I can may as well
foreign
there it is it's not just the the lighting but uh indeed it's not necessarily transparent you
know definitely darker darker color that's what it looks like right there
and it is carbonated though
so with that said I'm gonna try it out see what it tastes like
again I'm getting a very strong pineapple scent from this
all right let's try it out Pepsi pineapple from Little Caesars going in
I'll take one more sip
thank you
not bad not bad at all this is one of those beverages I think the description
is perfectly suitable sometimes you know there are those sorts of items out there
where it's like there really aren't any twists or turns there's no sort of hidden
uh flavor it's exactly what they say it is and a lot of the time that's really what you hope right
you would be getting this of course maybe because it's limited time maybe because you really like
the packaging or you like Little Caesars I think a lot of people though will be uh
getting this obviously for the pineapple flavor it's a unique flavor and uh I would
wager that it could be very refreshing at least as perceived by many I am pleased to
say that it tastes exactly how they said it was going to taste and again there is no sort of
a hidden flavor to this it smells like pineapple they say that it tastes like pineapple
there were pineapples on the packaging so I think it's safe to say it tastes like pineapple too
it's sweet heavily carbonated again I was hoping that I would be able to show some
of the the carbonation but the you know the color of it it's so dark you can't really see
it I don't know if when I was holding it up real close to the camera if you were able to
see any of the bubbles rapidly floating to the top but indeed there are plenty and definitely
it's one of those drinks you know that when you take that first sip you feel that essentially
sort of sizzling right on your tongue because of all the carbonation
and a lot of people like that with their sodas I myself generally these days I am not a huge
carbonated drink fan but I'm not going to let that bias get to me this is what people hope
for when they get a soda especially a Pepsi or something to that extent they want that
carbonation so I know this is exactly what people would be hoping for so as far as the carbonation
is concerned that's exactly what you would be hoping for upon getting a pepsi-like beverage
very pleasant tasting it's it's got the right balance of everything it has sweetness that is
not overwhelming or overbearing it still has that little bit of acidic bite to it as well
that again it balances out the sweetness and kind of prevents it from getting over overboard perhaps
so that motivates out very nicely has that again that sort of sweet Pepsi taste to it and then the
pineapple flavor it's not an afterthought it's not an aftertaste it is immediate but again
it's light and it just works very well with the sweetness Pleasant combination and what I would
describe as being flavorful and refreshing as well so there's the pineapple flavor
again that little bit of sweetness and then that acidic soda-esque bite that it has to it as well
all in all though a very straightforward combination
I would say that it tastes as advertised and again one of the adjectives that comes to mind
for me when I've been trying this drink out refreshing that's how I see it that's sort
of what the packaging I think tries to emphasize and I definitely see that element to it as well
it's refreshing and I could see this being like a good beverage to order especially on a hot day
and just sip down again I could see that especially if you're in the midst of some warm
weather definitely getting one of these pretty cool yeah I could see that being very refreshing
definitely it was actually quite a warm day in my neck of the woods and certainly a good drink to
have on a day like this in my opinion again the price for the beverage two dollars for the 16
ounce can but I'm happy with it tastes good good product good design I again I do like the the
packaging I think it's cool when they kind of give it that sort of unique Flair limited time and uh
tastes good as well good refreshing summertime beverage so therefore I'm quite happy with it
I like it I get it again so out of 10 I would give the pineapple Pepsi from Little Caesars
honestly yeah I'd give it a 9 out of 10. I like it obviously if you hate pineapple you might not
like this but in many other circumstances I see this being quite an enjoyable beverage
that's all that I have for you thank you for watching this is the well
the latest episode of the unnamed drink series again trying out pineapple Pepsi
thank you for watching and until next time I'm your host the report of the week
