Pepsi Mondays (originally posted on 7/30/07)

One of the best 'perks' that I get working at the corporate office for PepsiAmericas is the wide selection of beverage choices. Of course, this has been a major change for me - a "Diet Coke girl", but not much of one for Scott who still refuses to drink any Pepsi products unless it's his only choice at a restaurant. Most of the beverage choices in the vending machines at the office are a quarter and many are new products that haven't necessarily hit our local stores yet. Once Brady and Avery got over their initial disappointment that I was not actually bottling the soda drinks, they decided that it would be fun to place a drink order with Mom every Monday to bring home a Pepsi drink from the office. So far we have a thumbs-up for Wild Cherry Pepsi, Pepsi Summer Mix and Lipton Brisk Iced Tea. I think we'll try to avoid any of the Mountain Dew products and the Pepsi Max line, which is half energy drink/half caffeined sugar, for reasons that are fairly obvious. I'm sure our dentist will appreciate this informal taste testing at our next scheduled cleanings. Happy Pepsi Monday!
