Red Fusion Dr. Pepper is the best thing since... well... Dr. Pepper. We saw it at Safeway this week when we went shopping and I picked up a 2 liter bottle of it for $0.99. I was not going to buy a 12 pack of it like I did with Vanilla Coke, only to be let down and stuck with 11 cans I don't want to drink. So after consuming both liters in the bottle, I can say it is my new favorite beverage. Strange how it doesn't follow the normal "Pepsi makes a red version of a softdrink and it haunts me" path.

1. Pepsi releases red version of non-red beverage. In this case I will use Mt. Dew as an example. I'm sure most everyone has seen or tried "Code Red Mt. Dew." I am sure "Code Red" is named such because it makes to run for the nearest toilet as soon as you drink it.

2. I try new redified version of non-red beverage and hate it. Again, with "Code Red Mt. Dew," I tried it, hated it, and will never drink it again. To be fair though, I was not a big Mt. Dew fan in the first place.

3. One month after I decide I hate new redified version of non-red beverage it starts to haunt me. Like when 7-11 decided to make a SlurpeeĀ® version of it. Not only that, they decide to start mixing in all kinds of fruit flavors that totally change the color, but they still call it "Code Red" in an effort to sucker people into buying it. Of course, on top of all that they have to have some WWF guy endorsing it, but that is another rant.

Anyway, the point is, Red Fusion is not like your normal redified version of a non-red beverage. It is actually very tasty and not as harsh as normal Dr. Pepper. Which means you can drink it like normal if it happens to not be super cold.
