I Try Raspberry Ripple Pepsi

In February of last year, I wrote about two 'cream'  Pepsi flavours that had hit the British market. I now bring you news of another one. It's on a similar theme.

While browsing the Tesco website yesterday morning, I noticed they were selling a bottle of a zero sugar Pepsi which has a raspberry ripple flavour.

I had it as part of the meal deal I had for lunch.

Just like the previous flavours, this one mixes a common flavour with vanilla to give an ice-creamy experience.

To remind you - the strawberries and cream Pepsi beat out the cream soda flavour in 2025. But, it was only because I have a hate/hate relationship with cream soda (long story!). 

I've enjoyed a few cans of raspberry Pepsi Max in the past, so this tasted slightly like that with the added ice-cream/vanilla enhancement.

Does it work? Yes, I reckon so. There's a good balance of raspberry, cola and vanilla. Would I try it again? Maybe. 

Raspberry Ripple Pepsi is better than the cream soda and strawberry editions from 2025. That's for sure.

With the drink aside, I'd also like to point out how great the label looks. As you'll see above, it mixed the pink colour you'd associate with packaging of a raspberry ripple box and has the classic Pepsi logo within an ice cream on a cone. 

Great design.

There are two other flavours out there in the wild with one being cherry and vanilla (oooh!) while the other is salted caramel.

I'll be on the hunt for those. Stay tuned.
