    I love it when product companies try to get us to spend more money on strange things. Like, have any of you tried the green peanut butter Skippy is putting out? ;)

    Still, I rather like the lemon.

    Coke has copied off of Pepsi's great ideas for too long. Pepsi comes out with a great drink with lemon and Coke copies it within weeks. Pepsi with Lemon is the real thing...

    Well, no one copied each other.

    In most restaurants, it is cutom to put a silce of lemon when you order Coke or Pepsi.

    But anyway, I wish Coke would do it with regula Coke, not just Diet.

    Like Pepsi does.

    Its good!

    And actually, the Coke Lemon and the Pepsi Lemon came out at the same time, they're just marketed in different areas of the country.

    No one has "copied" anyone else. Companies know their competitor's strategies months ahead of time.

    You know what I really miss?

    Crystal Pepsi! Now that was great. It's Pepsi and it's clear!

    "Coke has copied off of Pepsi's great ideas for too long. Pepsi comes out with a great drink with lemon and Coke copies it within weeks. Pepsi with Lemon is the real thing."

    And Coke originally came out before Pepsi. What's the difference?

    Amazing.

    Also, I can't get enough of that Pepsi commercial with that curly-haired little girl (Holly somethingberg), Halle Berry, and Barry Bostwick. It makes me sad when Halle Berry unzips into a guy though.

    As soon as Pepsi came out with Code Red Mountain Dew, Coke came out with Cherry Mellow Yellow.

    There's a Cherry Mellow Yellow? Hmmm.... must be regional (at least for the time being) as I work in a grocery store and have never seen it. I'm not surprised though. ;)

    On the topic at hand... I'll take my lemon pop made by Pepsi, as Coke's version isn't my cup of tea (or in this case, pop ;)) :p

    I prefer regular Pepsi to Pepsi Twist, and I havn't had Diet Coke with lemon. I don't drink diet cola.

    It will never last. It's like getting your shampoo plus conditioner in one bottle. It's not as good as putting the two together separately.

    So says I.

    Not all diet pops are bad, I drink Diet 7-Up,Diet Vernors,and Diet Mountain Dew,and they're all pretty good. Diet Coke is bad enough,adding lemon to it is adding insult to injury.
