Pepsi NEXT: Paradise Mango


Pepsi decided to do try something drastic recently. Not only did they add to the Pepsi NEXT branding after the failure of Pepsi EDGE (for us MEN that don't want to drink wimpy diet soda), but they also released some flavored versions of it that I'm sure won't be on the market for very long.
I wish I had gotten my hands on the Vanilla Cherry option, but we picked up the Paradise Mango and decided to give it a proper try.

YEAH GIFS!
Pepsi NEXT Mango Paradise tastes pretty much they way you'd expect it to. The NEXT brand, where instead of calories, they decided just to throw another handful of chemicals in it to fill the space left over in the bottle... So, start with that as its base, and then throw in mango flavored chewing gum, stir it around for a bit, and take a pull off of this part pepsi, part mango, all chemical combination!

BLOOD RED! erm maybe not.
As far as sodas go this is pretty tasty, but you can't get over just how incredibly fake it tastes. You'd figure a billion dollar corporation would be able to fool my poverty stricken taste buds a little bit better.

GET READY TO PUKE: It's Cumberland Farms Soda!

As a child growing up grabbing 3 liter pineapple soda's from my local Cumberland Farms, riding hands free on my mountain bike, clutching a hefty 64oz fountain drink as a way to celebrate a job well done on my paper route, I am in no way unaccustomed to cheap soda. CF has seen fit to throw it's hat into the 20oz bottled soda biz and give us these two fine concoctions, Cotton Candy Commander, and Strawberry Monkey. There were a few others there but these seemed the most appealing to my little fat sweet teeth.



all I could choke down from these wretched offerings!

As you can tell from the post title, I didn't like either of them, so here's a quick run down of both of the flavors.

Cotton Candy Commander: Has a solid grasp on what cotton candy tastes like, and i do have to say, it's not THAT bad, but the worst thing about it is that after the first mouthful of liquid sugar, every tooth you have in your head begins to throb with pain, each one crying out as to why you'd wash this sweet tasting blue poison over their little white bodies.

Strawberry Monkey: there's never a good fake strawberry flavor, it's like the lab tech boys at CF when trying to brew up this horror had never tried a strawberry once in their lives, nor did the people that taste tested it. the only reason it's so aptly named "strawberry monkey" because whatever cancer inducing chemicals they decided to dye this non potable horror water with happens to be red. the blood of dead monkeys swirled into a nest of carbonated chemical bath. The worst part of Strawberry Monkey happens to be the after taste. I really have no clue what it is, but after you swallow down a load of hot strawberry monkey, you instantly want to get the flavor out of your mouth by any means necessary.

 The Quick and Dirty:
