Help me find ancient soda!

edited February 2010 in Help / Advice Forum
Hey I was wondering if anyone knew how to order things through other companies. I am looking for a soda called Pepsi Blue which was discontinued in the USA in 2006. Apparently, it is still available in Indonesia and Mexico. I was wondering if anyone knew how to find or order something through another country like this. Any help is appreciated, I'm just really thirsty. Thanks!

    Supposedly Mountain Dew Gamer's Fuel tastes exactly like Pepsi Blue, according to the internets. It could be the same thing rebranded for our market. Try that before importing, maybe?

    Well I've had an incredible amount of Game Fuel and I don't remember how Pepsi Blue tasted. I only remember it being the greatest thing in the world and I didn't get that sense when I drank Game Fuel.

    Game Fuel was basically Gummi Bear soda, while Pepsi Blue was nasty, so I'm inclined to agree with zuuku. :P

    Any local bodegas around you? You may want to try and see if they carry it.

    You're looking for pepsi blue? Why?! I can honestly say it was the only pop I ever bought, took one drink, and threw the rest away.

    Closest thing to pepsi blue is Blackbear's Blue Raspberry Soda.


    Sev made that drink for me.

    Game fuel does not taste like Pepsi Blue. Pepsi Blue had that delicious smurf taste. No really, it tasted just like Haribo Gummi Smurfs

    Seriously. The Blue Raspberry Soda from Black Bear is freaking amazingly close to pepsi blue.

    I'd agree with that. Stuff was even more awesome mixed with some Malibu rum. When I heard they were going to discontinue I bought every case left in the store I could find, but that wasn't much.

    If you do find a suitable source let us know. Hell maybe we should pool our money together and buy the recipe from Pepsi and begin to produce it ourselves. They'd be willing to sell that off for like $50 bucks right? I'd go halfsies with you.

    I just read the wikipedia entry for Pepsi Blue in spanish, and looks like it was sold during Christmas 2009 here in México, still, I'm going to look for it.

    SUCCESS!!!

    I Can tell you that you can still find "Pepsi Blue" in México.

    Only that it is not branded as Pepsi Blue, but as a Christmas Promotion called "Edición Limitada Pepsi Wiwichu" (Limited Edition Wiwichu Pepsi). I went to the supermarket today, and strolled through the Soft Drink section and found a stash of about 40 600 ml (600 ml = 20.2884136 US fluid ounces) bottles of "Pepsi Wiwichu", it is blue and with christmas decal, so I read the ingredients, and in fact it says "Concentrado Pepsi Blue" (Pepsi Blue Concentrate). So I bought two bottles, to try it out.

    After paying at the cashier, the bag boy asked me "What's this Pepsi's flavor?"

    ... "That's what I'm going to find out."

    ... So, I found it at a "Santa Fé" which is a series of stores from Sonora and Sinaloa (Sonora is a border State with the USA), but I bet you could find it at any Mexican Store, "Soriana", "Comercial Mexicana", "Bodega Aurrera", any store with a Pepsi Logo, even Mexican Wal-Marts, except OXXO Stores, because they only sell Coca-Cola Products.

    Here is a picture of the ad campaign:
    12164_229423484224_133608309224_4162697_6037205_n.jpg

    Although I would guess that Mexican Pepsi "Blue" would taste different to the one sold at the USA, because our Pepsi uses sugar and not High-fructose corn syrup.

    I actually have a bottle of Pepsi Blue up in my cupboard, but it's kind of collapsing in on itself. Was intending to hold onto it after it would inevitably crash and would sell it later for a bit of a markup.

    Protip to those that want to sell pop later after it goes down in flames: buy 12 / 24 pack cans. Bottles are worthless.

    It's eventually going to be a black hole of Pepsi Blue. Been sitting inside a cupboard since summer 2003.
