So I've recently fallen in love with the yuletide phenomenon known as Pepsi Holiday Spice. It's baffling because I can tell it's disgusting when I drink it, but I just can't stop. It's mildly upsetting, so I poured myself a tall glass of PHS and went online to try and dig up more info on the beverage. I didn't learn anything useful but I did come across this homage to "Supersize Me". It's pretty interesting and the fellow tells some interesting stories, the latest involving a run-in with Clay Aiken.

I like that stuff, too. It's got a bit of a cinnamon kick to it.
That Clay Aiken junk was hilarious, though.

It's blissfully ironic to see the word retarded misspelled in a castigation - especially when its use borders on inappropriate anyway.
I like the new term, though - it's kind of like a hooker getting her groove back.

Pepsi Holiday Spice is an attempt by Pepsi to cut into the holiday beverage market traditionally cornered by eggnog. I'm not sure how widely they're marketing or distributing it, but I heard about it through radio ads in NYC that amount to a smear campaign against egg nog. It's a fantastically bad idea, but it brought me back to the Crystal Pepsi days so it was worth a try. Now I'm hooked. The tinge of cinnamon is simultaneously erotic and disgusting. P.H.S. can be purchased at many fine grocers and retailers. I get mine at Duane Reade.
See, all you gotta do is ask nicely.

I've heard so many people say they think it tastes gross.
But, I actually like it. It's tasty. :)
Give it a shot if you have not tried it yet.
