Holiday Spice Pepsi, not bad

[Ghryphen]

Stang and I got a litre bottle of Pepsi Holiday Spice almost sure it would taste terrible, but it is actually good :o

Ya actually quite shocked. You can smell the spices and it doesnt leave a nasty flavor in your mouth.

[KitZune]

OMG! I need to try it.. I'm a big Pepsi fan!

[Jode]

NO way!! I thought it was icky.. and I'm a have to be Pepsi fan!! :lol (my bro works there)
The one I got was at a radio promotion and it wasn't cold.. maybe it would be better cold???

[Ghryphen]

Yeah, we made sure to chill it first.

[Raiyven]

KitZ, can we even get it up here? We're so commercially backwards, I don't even think we have vanilla coke yet ;p
(yes i'm aware we do, and the copious amounts we drink on a weekly basis...)

but still, seriously. do we have it yet?

[SiFi]

I've seen it in the coolers by the cash registers at a commiso's here, so I'd imagine that we'll be able to find it somewhere.

[Stang]

What pop tastes good warm? :)

Its better than the pitch black Mountain Dew, now that was just nasty :barf.

[Jode]

:lol I can drink regular Pepsi warm.. this wasn't warm warm, but it wasn't that chilled cold either!! ;)

[Ghryphen]

I can't drink any pop warm, it has to be cold cold cold and freshly opened.

[Jode]

ok then :p

pff, thats false advertising. my skin doesnt steam like that when i pour pepsi on it. it fizzes and burns, but it doesnt have little stink lines. or are they lightning bolts? if thats the case, maybe it's a sign of things to come? like, don't pour this on your bionic prosthetic, it will throw lightning around.

and what IS that other thing? 'don't pour pepsi from a shot glass onto bread. the bread gets soggy, and.... throws lightning bolts.'

BIONIC BREAD! it's the future of breakfast, man. and its HERE.

Lots of things that we eat and drink are toxic and/or corrosive in unmixed forms. Salt is composed of Sodium, which reacts violently with water, and Chlorine, a corrosive, poisonous gas that was used as the main component of a chemical weapon in WW1.

Also: your just an animal, what cold you possibly know about pepsi? I'm surprised that you can use a keyboard and mouse ;)

/edit And not to mention that anyone who likes swimming in a pool of any sort has been spending time in a chlorine solution.

Sodium is a key component of how your nerves transmit signals. ;)

Chlorine is used in digestion, and in regulating your cell metabolism. ;)

Both are the hydrated ionic forms though (otherwise, they'd be toxic and both would kill you faster than you can say, "Oh no!").


As for warm pop... my former company regularly sent people to Bangalore, India for flight testing. My old boss went for a month (he was my age, and the technical manager for the company). While he was there, he got sick with some nasty stomach thing. He went to the doctor and the doctor gave him a bottle of warm coca cola. It cured his problem. ;)

i may just an animal, but this ferret has a degree in biochemistry ;) hehe, most food is acidic to some degree, thats what gives it bite, spicy food especially

and given the quantity of pepsi, or coke for that matter produced per day, as both have ascorbic or citric acid as flavoring, a barrel of what is probably highly concentrated and corrosive acid gets diluted down to a tickly feeling when you drink it

as for the ability for pepsi to make little black sinking lightening tentacles grow out of your arm and loaf of bread when poured on it, i always knew the stuff was evil, i drink coke, but after seeing this, i'm never putting any cola in a test tube again, look what it does, straight out the bottle is best

oh, yea, i came originally from an island in the caribbean, lots of old wives obscure remedies, the warm coke remedy works great

Did you know the fire department specifically uses strawberry pop tarts for certain drills they do. I guess they are highly flammable, pretty funny! :eek:

[Stang]

:lol

[SiFi]

Another weapon for my army! Fear the pop tarts!

It's the capsaicin molecule that gives spicy food it's bite, right? Raiyven should know what I'm talking about: He's always boasting that he enjoys chemically burning his tongue.

But back to holiday spice pepsi: The next time I'm home, how abot I pick up a case for the 905 crew?

[KitZune]

Sounds good Sifi ; )

[insaneferret]

capsicin is just one spicy chemical, quite a common one but there are a lot of them, eg Citric acid is in a lot of foods, vinegar is acetic acid, ascorbic acid is a general taste enchancer, lactic acid is in milk, tartatic acid is in strawberries (tart flavor)
