Look for Pepsi Jazz, a line of diet flavored sodas, to launch this summer. To me it sounds a lot like the different flavors of Diet Rite you can already get, but that I find gross.
at our local Wal-mart Supercenter, you can buy fruit flavored Pepsi ONE. There are three flavors -- Orange, Grape and Cherry. They are fruit sodas, not fruit flavored colas, by the way. It's a decent use of the ONE brand-name. But they aren't available at any other local retailer, so I'm guessing that they were (or are) some sort of test market product.
The grape version of ONE rocks! It's Splenda-sweetened (as all the ONE products are) and tastes very authentic for a diet soda.
BUT - I can only get it at one Wal-Mart that's like an hour's drive from there. The one that's 15 minutes away had it advertised in their flyer but has never actually carried the product.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.
