Now Iā€™m No Expert, But I Think This Commercial Is Pro Smoking?

So i’m sitting here minding my own business when this ad comes on the television out of the blue. Now, as someone who has fought a losing battle against soda my entire life, this was laugh out loud funny to me. I fully expected to see this ad was brought to us by Phillip Morris or whatever company makes Black & Milds, only to see at the end it’s from THE STATE OF NEW YORK. How incredibly irresponsible is this? I might as well go out and buy the neighborhood kids some smokes to keep them off the sugar. Forget Marlboro, it’s Mountain Dew that should have a warning label. Here’s a tip, moderation. Have a glass of water once in a while. Wild times we live in. I will 100% be having a tall glass of Pepsi this Sunday now during the big game. Oh, and as the one blogger for The 300s that’s not from Boston, GO RAMS!

In the Ultimate Cleveland Move, Browns Replace Pepsi with RC Cola

Hilarious. Cleveland just can’t get out of its own way. Replacing Pepsi with store-brand soda is the ultimate “we’ve won 1 game in 2 years so we need to save some money” move.

You think Baker Mayfield drinks RC COLA? Not a chance. You drink RC Cola when you’re at your dad’s friends BBQ when you’re 9 and then complain because it tastes like flat paint.

If you want to be a respectable team it starts with the tiniest of details. Do Your Job applies to the concessions just as much as it does to the team on the field. Cutting corners like this will get you nowhere, Cleveland.

Maybe Isaiah Thomas wasn’t wrong.

The 300s Reviews: Pepsi Fire

I don’t do these reviews because I’m a masochist, I do it because I’m a man of the people. I do it for you. I’m a big fan of obscure drinks like Surge and Crystal Pepsi. Gotta pick out the diamonds in the rough. The best pumpkin spice latte you’ll ever have will be from 7-11. But for every success theres 10 disasters. I’m here to steer the ship so you know what’s garbage and what is so good that you have to at least try it, bodily harm be damned. With that, I introduce, Pepsi Fire.

Cracking the bottle open and its immediately apparent this is not some half-assed Pepsi marketing ploy; this is something different. The smell reminds me of when you run out of ginger ale and you have to mix Jameson with coke. Not a great start.

Poured it over ice and as its bubbling up I notice an unsettling reddish hue. The things I ingest for this blog.

First sip: It tastes EXACTLY like Fireball, which would have been great for Pepsi five years ago. May have even been a hit for Pepsi had Fireball never been invented. But now the cinnamon carbonation immediately brings back memories of ripping shots at the bar at 1 am. Not exactly what I want to pair with…anything really. Take a sip of this hungover and you might as well just call into work sick ahead of time.

Hey another fun fact, this concoction is WAY worse for you than any normal soda, let alone a diet Pepsi. After I poured it out I took a quick glimpse at the nutrition label before I threw it out and I gasped. Literally gasped. Pepsi Fire has 260 calories and 69 grams of sugar of nutrition in it. Jesus christ. Now I guess thats standard for a Pepsi 20 oz bottle, which I didn’t realize because I’m a devout supporter of asparatime in my diet sodas.

My point is, if you have more than 1 of these a month you are going to be in the dentist chair repairing some serious damage. Which I’d be fine with for a respectable drink, but I cannot knowingly destroy my teeth for Fireball soda. Final verdict: I cannot recommend trying this in good conscience. Pass.
