Diet Pepsi Jazz Strawberries & Cream (Quaff-o-Meter Score: 59.4)
Let’s start with the name, shall we? Diet Pepsi Jazz. While this concoction is unlikely to produce jazz hands in many drinkers, the flavor did seem rather improvisational. In its defense, Diet Pepsi Jazz Strawberries & Cream is nowhere near as disgusting as Diet Dr Pepper Berries & Cream, but it still tastes like drinking a Diet Pepsi while chewing a piece of strawberry Bubblicious. Oh, and sucking on a packet of SweetN’ Low (which I can only assume comprises the “cream” portion of the Strawberries & Cream moniker).
I was able to drink the entire bottle, but it’s certainly not an experience I look forward to repeating. Nevertheless, if you really love strawberries, Diet Pepsi Jazz could be much worse. After all, it could be Diet Dr Pepper Berries & Cream. Shudder.
So, to sum up:
Diet Pepsi Jazz Strawberries & Cream scores a less-than-impressive 59.4 on the highly scientific Apropos of Something Quaff-o-Meter — almost passing, but not quite enough to round up to a D-.

I saw the Diet Pepsi Jazz Black Cherry & French Vanilla this weekend. I thought it was disgusting sounding and even though I don’t drink Diet Pepsi, thought briefly of buying it just to try. Didn’t, now I am glad. I like the good old standby Diet Coke, don’t need to mix in anything for me. Just plain. Makes me a plain jane maybe, but come on, this is getting too much, Coke Blak is the worst.
LOL!
I actually picked up the Strawberries & Cream one on a whim the other day. It wasn’t half bad. The other half though…:)
Regarding the “Jazz” — you know something is lame when they have to add in extra words to the name to get you to pay attention.
I hadn’t heard of this drink yet. I’ll have to check it out for the heck of it, anyway.
There was a short lived Sprite with Mint up here in Canada. It was good with Vodka and that was about it.
IMO, Diet Pepsi is a festered lily no matter how much they try to gild it.
Why they try to mess with the classics, I’ll never know. Diet Pepsi is fine as is. Fine, I say!
It can’t possibly be as bad as Coca-Cola Blak, though. That just sounds like mental illness in a bottle.
Ha! I’m now going to have that SNL sketch ditty in my head forever.
Damn you!
The Chronic (what?) cles of Narnia…
But yeah. You know a brand is getting desperate when they start launching all sorts of crappy extensions.
Remember Clear pepsi?
HEY! I LIKE that diet black cherry vanilla pepsi thank you very much.
But I tried the coke blak when they were handing out samples in times square one day, and it was baaaaad stuff.
Ah, the Chronic (what!) cles of Narnia!
Black Cherry is… ok… haven’t tried the strawberry one, but seeing as the taste of strawberry is less forgiving than cherry, i can imagine that i probably won’t get all the way through a 20 oz. of the strawberry…
