Pepsi Cola, a aerated fizzy drink and a big, big, rival to Coca Cola, is I guess a world famous product. Like its big rival, the parent company in the US has great marketing skills and carries out very focussed marketing campaigns.
However, despite its enormous popularity, it is not popular with this reviewer. With contents such as carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel, caffeine and the silent killer, sugar, it is not preferred drink. I am not overly health conscious but even I draw the line at pumping myself with carbon dioxide and the sort of ingredients found in carbonated soft drinks.
On the rare occasions that I have gulped Pepsi down on a hot summer’s day I have not really been able to distinguish it from Coca Cola. If I were to take part in the Pepsi Challenge, I dont think I would do very well.
There are so many other more healthy drinks available these days. A fine cup of tea with a dash of lemon, a lasse drink, a mango juice drink, or even a glass of mineral water, are, in my book, much more enjoyable-and certainly healthier-than a bottle of Pepsi.
The product is well advertised, bottled well, and widely available. These advantages are, I believe, outweighed by the disadvantages,
