Ah, yes. I was able to try the stuff out when it came out this past Saturday, but I'm curious where cherry comes in. Your taste buds are mis-wired if you mistook Black Grape for Cherry. :)

Overall, it tastes a lot like Grape Crush, but not as strong. Given that it will only be out for about 10 weeks, I'm not sure I'll develop a taste for it like I did when Code Red came out. Just wait until their holiday brainchild hits the shelves. It's called Holiday Spice. Just think of what a drink with this name would taste like, then add carbonation. This is what Pepsi has to say about their drink:
Pepsi-Cola with a spicy finish of ginger and cinnamon
Yummmmmmy! Makes me want to replace my favorite holiday drink, egg-nog. :)
