Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry
Filed Under Colas | Leave a Comment
Diet Pepsi Wild Cherry may very well be my favorite flavored diet cola. Pepsi does an absolutely amazing job of using flavorings on top of their base diet cola, and I feel that Wild Cherry is the prime example of that talent. The other flavored varieties are really tasty as well, I haven’t tried one yet that I didn’t enjoy. One of the biggest thing people will complain about when talking about low calorie beverages is lack of flavor. That certainly isn’t a problem here.
Unless the formula for original Diet Pepsi has changed from aspartame only (which I seriously doubt, but I’ll certainly be checking the label on my next shopping trip), Wild Cherry sits on top of a modified version of the original diet cola. The sweetener blend is the increasingly popular (and super tasting!) blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium (Ace-k). That is an amazing blend, as I’ve already explained. Removes a lot (just about all) of that ‘diet’ after taste that is so often complained about.
The Cherry adds a little bit of sweetness, and is a nice change of pace from the standard cola fair. It’s not ‘natural’ tasting by any means, but it pulls off the cherry ‘syrup’ profile really well. Closest competition would be Coke Zero Cherry, but I think I prefer the Pepsi. Just goes down a little smoother; I do not think it has quite as much carbonation at Coke Zero. And Diet Coke Cherry isn’t even in the same ballpark, that soda didn’t even make it to the tailgate party!
Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi is readily available; I can even grab a 20 ounce in my poorly stocked neighborhood convenience store anytime I wish. I’ve seen it in larger stores in multiple types of packaging, so you should be able to acquire it in your container of choice. No calories, tastes great, it’s a nice treat. Enjoy yourself!
