Review: Black Cherry French Vanilla

Ok, so Pepsi wants people to be able to indulge their sweet tooth without ruining their diet. Fine. But, can it really be done with a rebranded version of Diet Pepsi that has been enhanced with fruit flavors? Hard to say. Either way, we can tell you that this is one of the best tasting diet cola flavor extensions to come out of Pepsi. Using a blend of aspartame and ace-k, which in our opinion produces the best taste of today's sweetener blends, Pepsi has done a pretty good job of making this product have a natural sweetness. In addition, the product has more fruit flavor than some of the other Pepsi flavor extensions, giving it a flavor that justifies a separate line extension. As for the Jazz label and brand, it livens up the stock Pepsi 20oz bottle, but we're not really sure what "Jazz" will actually mean to consumers. Plus, this product's realistic target is the base of existing Pepsi drinkers, making this a brand that has a limited life. Still, it's one of the better diet extensions to Pepsi's cola lineup.
