Aquafina Sparkling: Berry Burst

Berry Burst

Last Updated: 6/23/2006 10:04 AM

Product Type: Water: Sparkling; Container: 20 fl oz (591 ml) PET
BevNET Review: There’s a lot more aspartame detectible in this raspberry version of Aquafina’s water beverage (call it a water soda), which leaves it a less attractive option than Citrus Twist. Still, it’s a drink that could be a lot worse than it is. With their soda-like taste and appearance, we feel strongly that there will be some strong appeal to these drinks in flyover states where the sweet tooth consistently trumps the desire to cut calories; how much appeal there is, however, is a question worth tens of millions of dollars. And we’re not sure this is the complete answer.

I don't know what markets you tested them out in but in this market (Vancouver, BC) I think you would do very well. I got my husband to stop drinking pop with this product, you should be glad to produce something good. and as the previous writer said, it was alway in short supply at my Safeway store and when I asked if I could order some, I was told that many, many people wanted the same thing, but the product was unavailable. You really should reconsider because you have such a good product in the Aquafina Sparkling water, in either flavour.

Where did it go?
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I am not normally a water drinker, I tend to go for the fizz of things. I had been drinking approximatly a 12 pk each week, and now I can no longer find it! I have gone back to drinking more soda, and to tell the truth, I miss my fizzy water! Please tell me that it will be coming back to the stores near me!!

This was the only Pepsi product I would drink. Now that it has been discontinued I don't buy Pepsi products any more. I think they bring this product back.

I was wondering why I can't find this water in the grocery store. I preferred it 10 times more than soda. The berry burst sparkling water was or is my absolute flavor. I really think that it should be put on the shelves, the fact that it is healthy, sugar free,tastes amaaazing AND quenches thirst. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!

Very disapointed
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I used to buy atleast 2, if not 4 six packs every week. I would buy the berry burst as well as the citrus flavor. I used to be a soda pop drinker but as everyone knows that is too much sugar for ones system. The Sparkling water was the best replacement for the pop because it had a great taste and it didn't have all the sugar, carbs or fat content. Even when it was still stocked at my grocery store there was only enough space on an out of the way shelf for 4-6 six packs. So they were out of stock most of the time anyway. No wonder they didn't have the sales they wanted to keep it in production. I believe poor marketing was the downfall of this product, atleast in my area because the product tasted great and was a good sbstitute for pop. Bob Grand Rapids, MI.

Here`s what i got Dear Adam, Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Pepsi-Cola. It's always great to hear from our loyal consumers. As you know, we've stopped producing Aquafina Sparkling. In the past, Pepsi had distributed this flavor in several markets, but it didn’t sell as well as we had hoped and so it was discontinued. There are no current plans to reintroduce this product, but I'll be sure to forward your comments to the appropriate individuals here. Again, many thanks for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate your friendship and support. Dee Dee Ward Consumer Relations Representative dolores.ward@pepsi.com 011934017A
