In 2024, we saw Coke discontinue its Cherry Vanilla flavor, and perhaps sensing this void in the market or wanting to get in on the dirty soda trend, Pepsi is starting the new year by introducing a new permanent flavor, Wild Cherry & Cream. I\u2019ve always been more of a Coke person if I\u2019m going to choose a cola, but I enjoy Wild Cherry Pepsi, so I was curious to see how it would fare when given the soda shop addition of a creamy vanilla twist.<\/p>\n
Opening the bottle, I got those familiar, slightly spicy scents of Pepsi with a cherry hint. The cream wasn\u2019t immediately obvious, and after a few sips, I still found it to be not very pronounced. It rounds things out on the back end of a swig, but it isn\u2019t a strong cream soda flavor. The wild cherry is similarly kind of tame here, being more mild than in your face. I think \u201cwild cherry\u201d in the soda flavor world is just a way to make \u201ccherry\u201d sound more exciting and not necessarily a nuanced flavor based on certain cherry varieties, but I wish these cherries were bringing more exuberance to the party. C\u2019mon, cherries, knock over a lamp or something. Spill some more cream in the communal pitcher of Pepsi.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I wish these flavors were a bit more amped, but that isn\u2019t to say this drink is bad. In fact, it\u2019s quite good. These are classic tastes, and they work together in harmony. I enjoy that the cherry and cream aspects obscure some of the things I don\u2019t always love about Pepsi to begin with. It\u2019s sweet and the cherry brings to mind candy, but I don\u2019t find it too sweet in the way I sometimes do an original Pepsi.<\/p>\n
This drink could work alongside a meal, at the movies with popcorn, or by itself. The flavor combo isn\u2019t groundbreaking, but it is solid. If you\u2019re a Pepsi fan, I could see this becoming your new favorite. If you hate Pepsi, I could see you not refusing this and perhaps even admitting that it doesn\u2019t suck. <\/p>\n

While Wild Cherry & Cream is currently available in cans and bottles, the bottles are only for a limited time. Also worth noting, I tried the zero sugar variety and it does not hit the same pleasant notes for me. Pepsi drinkers, rejoice in your new blend of old favorites! Everyone else, opt for full sugar if you\u2019re going out on a limb and giving this a try. It may not be wildly innovative, but it\u2019s a worthy addition to the Pepsi lineup.<\/p>\n
