I finally found some and I got to say this stuff is pretty good. If you liked twist then you will love this and if you hated twist you will like it. More lemon taste and its not that strong either.

Had the diet version today and the lemon flavor was good, but the aspartame aftertaste was very strong. So I was not surprised when I looked at the ingredient list and saw no Ace-K. I'll have to try the original next time.

Default Pepsi Lemon NFL Kickoff

I got my hands on a bottle of this Pepsi Lemon NFL Kickoff the other day. (Or is it "Lemon Pepsi NFL Kickoff" or just "Pepsi NFL Kickoff with a kick of Lemon"… it's hard to be sure just what the name is officially... even the bottle has it listed a bunch of different ways)


The ingredient list matches pretty much exactly to that of Pepsi Twist, with the exception being that Twist listed "high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar" and Kickoff lists just "high fructose corn syrup". There also was a change from the plural "natural flavors" to singular "flavor".

Not having an original bottle of Twist around, hard to say if it was the same thing or not, but it tasted pretty similar to what I remember (and original thought when I first tasted Twist). Though I also thought that the harsh lemon flavor was more subdued this time around, so who knows. We'll probably all differ on that opinion.


Overall, nothing special, unless you really want to relive the Pepsi Twist flavor experience.

One this is for sure... the label art is pretty horrible. Really, really bad branding. It's just a hodgepodge of junk on that thing!
