![]() ![]() After a few seconds, a rich, bubbly texture of espresso brown cascades around the glass, suspended above the typical cola tones. I invert the can directly over a glass, as instructed, to give a hard pour for a foamy experience. It was much more reactive than the typical soda, and I’m guessing that’s the namesake nitrogen introducing itself. Nitro Pepsiįrom the first pop of the tab, the sound of opening the Nitro Pepsi startled me slightly - like I had released the Kraken. I couldn’t finish the can, and I’m a prolific fan of free refills. It got slightly better after a few sips, but I’m more about promoting acceptance than tolerance. As they baked in the oven, some of that sugar and butter would leak out from the edges, burning with a dark caramel brown color almost like Pepsi itself.īut Maple Syrup Pepsi was not a reminder of a pleasant childhood experience. Every time my mother makes a pie, she rolls pie dough scraps together and layers them with butter and sugar. There are some sweet things that I happen to find pleasant when burned. The smell of the cola was more pleasant than the taste, for me. It tasted as if I had poured some innocent, unsuspecting syrup on a hot skillet, let it scorch, then scraped the burnt remains off the skillet and into a glass of Pepsi. The first couple of sips left a burnt taste in my mouth.

Unfortunately, that’s where the pleasantries ended. It smells like I’ve walked into a pancake breakfast fundraiser. I went in excited to try something unusual and withheld my judgment, unlike my friends.įrom the first whiff, the syrup already is large and in charge. With syrup graphics dripping down from the top of the can, a stack of pancakes next to the Pepsi logo, and an IHOP logo at the bottom of the can, it was bound to call for strong reactions. If my readers are any representation of my social circles, just the name and image of this can of Pepsi, not available to the public, evokes knee-jerk, visceral reactions.
