When my local grocery store&#8217;s supply is paltry, I will happily enjoy artificially flavored products to get my fix. Basically, if a mango is involved, I will likely be nearby, begging for a taste and sneaking leftovers into my Tupperware container for later. My love for the precious tropical stone fruit is why I was drawn to Pepsi Mango like a thirsty fruit bat to an actual mango.<\/p>\n<p>Although Pepsi Mango &#8211; Pepsi&#8217;s first permanent flavor in five years &#8211; was a new discovery for me, the world has seen its likes before. Previously introduced as a limited offering in 2019, it joined lime and berry varieties to give Pepsi Wild Cherry competition as the brand&#8217;s most beloved fruit-and-cola mashup.<\/p>\n<p>(Why am I late to the Pepsi Mango party? In 2019, I was likely still distracted by the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2018\/03\/01\/review-diet-coke-feisty-cherry-ginger-lime-twisted-mango-and-zesty-blood-orange\/\">Diet Coke Flavors<\/a>, a lineup that included a mango version of my favorite caffeine source. Alas, those products, which I found too artificial and astringent-tasting to truly love, left me disappointed.)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pepsi-Mango-2021-Pour.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pepsi Mango  2021 Pour\" title=\"Pepsi Mango (2021) Pour.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Forgive the gaps in my soda experiences. The important thing is that today is a new day, and I get to experience Pepsi Mango now. The product&#8217;s package promises classic Pepsi &#8220;with a splash of mango juice and other natural flavors,&#8221; and even before my first taste, the juice&#8217;s presence made itself known. The soda&#8217;s aroma is wonderful and genuinely fruity. If it weren&#8217;t for the carbonation tickling my nose, I would have thought my glass was full of fresh juice or smoothie.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pepsi-Mango-2021-Top.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pepsi Mango  2021 Top\" title=\"Pepsi Mango (2021) Top.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the first sip, mango flavor is at the forefront. Like the Pepsi&#8217;s smell, the bright, refreshing taste is strong and unexpectedly accurate. The classic cola taste follows, and while the mango overpowers it by a mere hint, the flavors play together well. I had expected the juice ingredient to give the Pepsi an additional harsh sweetness, but somehow it wasn&#8217;t too saccharine. The tropical flavor is a natural pair to Pepsi&#8217;s citrus notes, and this combination seems to cut through the syrupy quality that dark colas can have.<\/p>\n<p>Pepsi Mango also has a smoothness and overall drinkability that I would not expect from a cola. Its end result is a delicate aftertaste that almost reminds me of drinking flavored iced tea &#8212; without sacrificing the carbonated crispness. This quality, combined with its spot-on fruity flavor, elevates this soda to next-level good.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Pepsi-Mango-2021-Box.jpeg?resize=600%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pepsi Mango  2021 Box\" title=\"Pepsi Mango (2021) Box.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mango fans will be pleased with Pepsi&#8217;s choice to resurrect this product, which is also available in the Zero Sugar variety. (Look for both kinds in 20-ounce bottles and 12 packs of 12-ounce cans.) Come summer, I will look forward to enjoying this Pepsi again as a refreshing treat on a hot day. The only downside: the three brands of mango-flavored sparkling water stashed in my pantry now seem a lot less enticing by comparison.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12 pack of 12 oz cans<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Target<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (per 12 oz can) 150 calories, 0 grams of fat, 95 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 41 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confession: I&#8217;m a mango fiend.
