There’s often people touting their goods to the public at Victoria train station, which makes it a great place to pick up a small sample of a random product that you never knew you needed. Previous items I’ve scored include a bullet pack of Nivea Silver protect deodorant, a pocket-pack of Kleenex anti-viral tissues, and various other small products clearly didn’t make too much of an impact on me or I’d surely remember them better now.
Today’s offering was Pepsi Raw, which they were pushing on my way to work this morning. I decided to skip the calories and walk straight on by; however as it turns out they were still there on my way home, and I had no such luck skipping out a second time. The promoter guy really deserves a raise, as he seamlessly thrust a can into my hand as I was walking past, absent mindedly looking up at the train timetable.
I took it as a sign – clearly this can contained nectar from the gods! And it certainly billed itself that way (or just about, anyway) – “a delicious new cola made with sparkling water and naturally sourced ingredients.”
So how was it? Well, either the gods have pretty low expectations, or this was not the divine drink that I thought it would be. To be fair, it was actually pretty good – sweet, but not too sweet, and lacking that signature caramel flavour that usually puts me right off Pepsi after one mouthful.
I’d have it again, but on a menu next to Coke Zero, it probably wouldn’t get my vote.
Happy driving!
Nath – good luck dude, can’t wait to see some photos of your new...
