After my negative experience with Coca-Cola C2, I had a lot more hope for Pepsi Edge. Like Coke's product, this beverage is targeted at the low-carb market, heralding "full flavor - 50% less sugar."

My wife and I found Pepsi Blue over the weekend. Overall, we felt that it rocked. Great taste and unique flavor.
