Pepsi is one of many sponsors for Jeff Gordon and the #24 Dupont Chevy Team in NASCAR's Nextel Cup. Because I think race car hoods are the best form of advertising, I tend to choose Pepsi products over Coke products.

Since there is all this low-carb crap going around, Pepsi has been making Pepsi Edge (similar to Coke making C2), which claims to have full flavor and half the sugar. The other day at Albertson's I picked up a 2 liter of Pepsi, which was on sale for 99 cents. I noticed that a 2 liter of Pepsi Edge was only 89 cents, so I decided to get that as well and take the Pepsi Edge Challenge.

I took 2 cups, marked the bottom of one, filled one with Pepsi and the other with the Edge. I closed my eyes, swithched them around like I was doing the ball under the cap video thing at the ballpark. I took a sip from each cup, and I can tell you that Pepsi Edge does not have the full flavor it advertises. In fact, I am sure that Pepsi Edge is just Diet Pepsi in a new package. I'm either going to toss the rest of the Pepsi Edge or pretend it's Kool-Aid and add some sugar to it. When is anyone going to come out and make some hi-carb foods?
