Internet reacts to new Pepsi Vanilla & Cream flavor
Following the soft drink's launch, content creators have already started posting taste tests of the new flavor.
Content creator Ethan Fin tried the standard and zero sugar flavors in a TikTok video. He said the zero sugar flavor is not "that far off" from the standard, despite the cream flavor being a bit more subtle.
"That cream in there is so good," he said in the video. "I really think that vanilla cream pairs well with Pepsi."
Chris Frezza, another content creator, shared his taste test on Oct. 18, a day before the product's widespread launch. He said the new flavor looks a bit lighter in color than a traditional Pepsi. Frezza added that the zero sugar option has a more aspartame after taste.
