Jazz is a winner, but it requires a more attractive bottle.
For the past 40 or so years I have wanted a good tasting diet cola, but I have never been able to stand the taste and aftertase of the available brands. Jazz was the first diet cola whose taste I liked. I like both of their flavors. I discovered them about 3 months ago and was a regular buyer of Jazz. Recently, my local store stopped restocking its shelves with Jazz. They may have done this because the bottles lack shelf appeal and they were not moving. I was overjoyed when I found a store that still sells Jazz.

great new taste
My husband and I were in Branson ,Mo. last weekend and dropped by a drugstore to get some soda. Jazz Strawberries and Cream caught our eye. We are both diabetics and loved the carbs that were NOT in it. When we got to the hotel and had a glass, we were very pleased. We will be looking for it in our local stores.
This Product may be enough for me to stop buying Pepsi Products ever. Seriously the worst drink ever. I would expect this kinda of flavoring from some other cheaper company but not Pepsi! Aftertaste and other poor flavorings lead me to believe the correct research was not done before this product was brought to market.
this soda is not bad. with that being said, it is not good, either. it's the kind of thing where you'd look in your fridge for a soda, and discover that only pepsi jazz is left. so, with a sigh, you snap open the can and drink.
I tried this for a friend and told her it tasted like someone took a cheap strawberry lollipop and dipped it in some cola, and then liquefied it. It was a really weird, overpoweringly fake strawberry candy taste with a hint of cola. It didn't have any bad diet taste to it, but I couldn't stomach more than a few sips of it. If you think you might like this do yourself a favor and just buy one bottle to try it before you buy a big stash of it and realize you can't handle more than a few sips at a time.
Leave it to Pepsi to make consumers who are loyal to Coke complain that Pepsi copied Coke again. Well this time they copied themselves. Pepsi had a strawberry flavored cola back in the 80's I believe. This time though they added a hint of cream and it's in a diet version. From my testing of it I can sense a hint of all three flavors in the soda:Diet Pepsi, Strawberry and cream. They did a very nice job with this combination. Although the name and lable are getting most of the print the taste is absolutely a winner. Who cares what the name and lable do. As long as it appeals to the taste buds it will be a seller.
I taste the strawberries, I taste the cola. But I don't taste the cream. Not that it's a bad thing; to me a cola-based soft drink shouldn't have even a hint of a milky quality.
What's good about this soda is its similarity to my beloved favorite, Josta. As much as Josta was touted as a Guarana soda, the predominant flavor in Josta was kinda of berry-ish. One taste of this version of Jazz and I immediately flashed back. I had to open an old Josta container and compare them side by side and confirm.
There is definitely more cola to this than my old fave, but still, anything that offers me a hint of what it was makes me happy. So, Strawberries & Cream is definitely my pick for "best of" the Jazz lineup.
