Well, the thing about Nitro is that they're nitrogenated, NOT carbonated. You aren't going to get that carbon fizz because there's simply no carbon to be had in them. I personally love it, for me it's a lot like drinking the soda in a root beer float.
The first and overwhelming volume of ingredient is carbonated water. I agree it has a very creamy mouth feel and should be compared to drinking an ice cream float. But there certainly is the normal amount of carbonated water in this drink.
If you have ever put Pepsi in ice cream, it’s literally like drinking the leftover soda once you’ve ate the ice cream. At least the vanilla version is like that
I really enjoyed the nitro Pepsi, i am not a soda drinker for the most part once o heard Pepsi was doing a draft soda instead of regular carbonation I wanted to try it. Pepsi wasn’t lying when they said it was easy to drink, I thoroughly enjoyed it, it doesn’t sit bad in your stomach and doesn’t make you bloated like most sodas do, I recommend trying this if you don’t like it that’s perfectly fine I for one will have another can, and I really like the idea as a whole of draft cola
@@Flip11111 do you think me not being able to handle soda anymore is a sign of acid reflux? I looked the info up but I don't know what would be going on with my body. And I want to try the nitro.
You've got to hold it in one hand, open it with the other hand, and be ready to turn the can upside down immediately. By letting it sit there for a few seconds before you pour it you're letting it go flat.
Umm...No. This is flat soda, no matter how soon you pour it or drink it. Its just flat.....These are not made to be chugged.. It's just a gimmick from a company that is living off of their Mt.Dew line so they had to try something new to get people to drink Pepsi.
I thought the same. It just tasted like flat Pepsi. I know some say there is a certain way to pour and drink it, but a soda shouldn't require a TH-cam video to explain how to make it taste good.
@@JasonMazurek Everyone I have spoken to says it HAS to be poured, when chilled to a certain point, in a tall enough glass, at the right angle (upside down) and has to be consumed within the right amount of time, not allowing it to sit long. Which is fine I guess, but the average shopper in Wal-Mart is NOT going to know any of this. They will drink it like you do a normal soda, decide it tastes flat, and never touch it again. It is creative, but I think Pepsi is trying to punch well above their class here.
@@michaeldodd6181 I see your point, but I do want to say a couple things: 1. The "instructions" are on the package and the can itself with pictures. I mean, if people can't figure out how to "properly" pour this thing, i would say that's on them, not Pepsi. 2. Out of curiosity, I tried one of them straight from the can, and it was rather pleasant. I think you don't get the "full experience" that way, but it was still a nice drink nonetheless.
Interesting. To me it just tastes like a cream soda. I guess my experience is that the flavor difference is more remarkable than the carbonation difference--though certainly it's there. It also kind of reminds me of the "unique" flavor of coca cola or pepsi ice-ees or flurries at movie theaters or 7-11s. Just a different experience is how I'd categorize it.
Cool review! I found them at my local Publix yesterday and got the vanilla one first and went back today and picked up a regular Pepsi pack to try it. I agree that the regular Pepsi flavor does taste like a flat Pepsi! As for the vanilla flavored one I think it’s really good and would get it again sometime.
Saw this advertisement when going for Pepsi this morning.. decided to look up a review before purchase and wanted to say thanks for helping me choose to save my funds
I think a lot of the liking it or not, depends upon how much you like carbonation. I have never been a fan of highly carbonated drinks---I usually stir them to remove some of the carbonation, so I liked the fact that these drinks seemed "flatter". I am more of a Coke fan, but I give Pepsi credit for doing something different.
The key is to get them cold almost frozen. I really like them. But if you want the strong carbonated effect you won’t like these. These are Creamy and sweet!
Ya I agree. I've had 3 the first 2 i literally almost froze. The first one actually turned into slush. It was ok the second one was perfect but it didn't make that noise maybe I had it to cold but I felt like it wasn't flat the 3rd want I had chilled not super cold and I dont like it at all
Been a lifelong Pepsi drinker, and though I wasn’t sure what to expect, I LOVED this. I tried the vanilla first and really enjoyed the differences though I was a little concerned it was flat too, as I paid more attention I could feel lit nitro bubbles. I’m definitely picking more of these up when I go to the store later
Two things, you should pour right away and not wait at all. And pour it upside down with nitro cold brew I actually let the can sit on the glass in my brain that keeps it from losing a lot of it. And it always comes out how it's supposed to. Now I know soda is different but I think it's the same rule of thumb.
First of I appreciate the feedback. I’ve been seeing this a lot in the comments that I did it wrong and that it effected the taste. I just tried it again a few minutes ago, chilled can…check, cracked it open all the way…check, stuck the can upside down in the glass to pour hard…check, drank immediately….check………..sadly no difference. Tasted the same, a smooth flat Pepsi. I get some will enjoy this, but most won’t.
Tasted days old Pepsi, honestly I dont think Nitro works for cola, part of the appeal to soda is its carbonation, its what defines it. Nitrogen just doesnt bind as well with the water in the soda. This causes the nitro to rush out faster which actually is what creates the creamy foam with smaller bubbles. CO2 however, is more soluble and escapes at a slower rate, this provides the type of carbonation we expect from sodas. Guess they saw it work with nitro infused coffee (which has 0 carbonation) and nitro infused beers (which isn't defined by its carbonation) but with soda that's the defining characteristic, it not only provides the experience, in a lot of ways it provides the flavor profile too.
Since i stopped drinking dark soda a year ago, I rarely drink soda and trying this, I thought it was flat tasting however I could still enjoy it. These would be great for mixed drinks/liquor bombs
flat soda is super underrated, so many people hate on it, however I LOVE to drink it! I knew nitro pepsi would be flat because it has no carbon, and the creamy taste was just super good. 11/10 would buy again
Everyone that says it’s just a flat Pepsi is simply wrong. It’s a lot smoother to drink and a far better experience than actual Pepsi. Plus, the vanilla tastes like a Pepsi float which is very nice. It’s beyond just a soda.
Tastes like flat pepsi. Saying someone is wrong about something they tasted doesn't make any sense . You can't be correct for another person's taste buds. It's flat pepsi. It even has an old Pepsi taste to it. Maybe they put out a bad batch or something but it's pretty unanimous that this didn't work out well.
I agree with you. I've had two today. I never drank regular Pepsi, then I made a big effort to get a local store to stock regular and vanilla Nitro Pepsi. It's the only sodas I drink.
If you cut open the can, you'll see a weird and unusual plastic container at the inside bottom of the can. I assume it's where the Nitrogen is stored and it adheres to gravity and releases into the uncarbonated Pepsi, but you have to pour it literally UPSIDE DOWN like head to head, but for that you need a taller glass to avoid spillage. The thing inside the can supposed to infuse the flat Pepsi with Nitrogen as you pour it literally UPSIDE down. I assume the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen is that nitrogen makes the drink feel thicker because of much more smaller bubbles (like craft beer) and I guess with the smell and taste of Pepsi it also gives a creamy feel to it.
That's actually exactly what that is... Guinness has since adopted a similar design for the canning and bottling of their beer, but for years they used to use a different method to store the nitrogen and allow for a more draft-like pour. The design used a patented device they called a "widget", and initially it was a sort of cylindrical cone shaped device that would poke through the mouth of the can or bottle if turned upside down. After a few years they modified the design into a sphere shaped device for the cans while the bottles retained the cone (I'm pretty sure anyway, I'm going from memory here). They did abandon the floating widget concept for a short time in recent years, however they did announce they would be returning to the concept in 2021. I'm not sure if they have resumed using the widget since I hardly ever drink anymore and when I do it's when I'm out at a bar or out to eat or something, and if I'm ordering a Guinness it's almost assuredly going to be served on-tap rather than a bottle or can. The only a Guinness I still have in the fridge is from a couple years ago when they weren't using the floating widget. But anyway yeah, you're right on track with your train of thought there... Props to ya. Most people see the plastic bit and are completely and utterly stumped by it. I even had a friend who called PepsiCo Customer Care thinking that the plastic device in her can of Nitro Pepsi was some kind of defect, like a foreign object that somehow made it into her beverage during the canning process. I love that girl dearly but quite frankly she is not very bright... Lucky for her she's drop dead gorgeous and has been able to get by on her looks for most of her life, although to her credit she is at least rather self-aware in this regard and is usually the first to admit her shortcomings in an honest manner. Don't worry, I've never let her forget about her mistake here though 😅. I mean come on, the plastic device in the can is very clearly intended to be there based on the shape, texture, and design alone. I had to explain the purpose and function behind the design to her using only small words and a few visual aids, and I believe she understood eventually lol. Either that or she still had no clue what I was on about and she simply feigned comprehension in order to avoid looking like a dummy, or just to shut me up (if not both). In any case it's been my experience that a person tends to be at least somewhat intelligent, but in general *people* are often breathtakingly stupid and hopelessly ignorant. So it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there were many people out there who discovered the little plastic device in their cans only to be utterly baffled by it. It's just like all the people out there who buy the Nitro Pepsi and then proceed to piss and moan about it being "flat" 😂. Lol I mean honestly what did you expect??? This is chemistry 101 here people... Nitrogen gas is less soluble in liquid compared to darbon dioxide (CO²) and less acidic, resulting in less fizz and a more mellow, subtle creaminess. It's an entirely different texture and experience and doesn't create all of the bloat and discomfort typically associated with carbonated beverages. It doesn't always have to be an assault on one's senses in order to be good! We're not six years old anymore and we don't have to be consistently overstimulated in order to be entertained or content. Complaining that Nitro Pepsi is flat just seems childish to me, but whatever. Maybe I'm just being kinda snobby 😆.
You know, people might be thinking its a fail because it's not as strong with the carbonation... for one. For one it's not supposed to be as harsh as soda, I just had the vanilla one and I for one REALLY enjoyed it, I feel regular soda is to harsh, and MAYBE they could up the carbonation just a bit... but I dont think its really all that flat, you kinda failed at "pouring it hard" as well.
It tastes like a pepsi float... It really is amazing. There is plenty of carbonation it is just in the smaller bubbles. Honestly I am going to cry if they discontinue this version. lol
I stay away from pop because of the burning sensation it gives my stomach- for that reason, I like nitro. This product might be to target non pop drinkers…
I've recently been having that problem with sodas and have to drink them in tiny sips because of this problem. So these nitro pepsis are a god send and it has the texture of a cold brew wich I love.
Just had the vanilla flavored drafted and going in knowing it is a flat drink I’m actually impressed. The after taste is nice…it lingers, the smoothness is fun. It’s a sophisticated flat drink 😂 not for fizzy lovers. Fun and will enjoy another with a lunch sandwich tmrw 👍🏽 Compared to a chilled normal flat soda the draft has a more balanced drink and not a nasty flat.
My GF mom gave me a case yesterday. Came home and thought it was like an energy drink. And just like you i poped it open and acted like i shook it. And again just like you i thought it went flat.
Paid $2.29 for a 16 oz can of the nastiest, flattest, excuse for a soda/ soft drink ever! Pepsi Just knocked new coke out of the galaxy for the biggest, nastiest product failure ever!!
I feel like I'm one of the few who enjoy flat soda somewhat. But I will say this doesn't taste "flat" in my honest opinion, but who knows maybe my liking of flat soda has influence on how I feel about this drink. I absolutely LOVED the vanilla flavored one. I literally chugged the fuck out of it. I hope they don't discontinue. The only downside to these is I drink them too fast lol
I didn't shake my either and had it sitting on the table for like 20 minutes after I took out of the fridge and I didn't do a half-open like you did. I cracked it open all the way. The damn thing exploded all over me and my bed, then started spewing like one of those volcano science projects you make in the 3rd grade. I quickly grabbed a cup (and a wet towel) and poured it hard, as per instructions. Somehow, in spite of all that, it still wasn't flat. It actually is a lot smoother. If you don't like soda because of the carbonation, you will probably like this. You know how soda makes your eyes water if you drink it too fast, from the bubbles? You can chug this bad boy all day long and not get that same effect although you may get one hell of a sugar rush if you do.
It’s like a soda version of the icee Coca-Cola. It’s more flat and doesn’t burn my throat and make my stomach upset if I drink it to fast. It tastes amazing.
Opening it on 3 stages kinda retains the carbonation. When I open it, I barely let air in. I wait for a second. I open it a little more, and let more air in, and then open the whole thing. Lemme know if this works.
Save your money, just buy a regular Pepsi (or vanilla) and let it go flat. It’s the same taste, just different marketing. I work for pepsi, we all hate it
Im not super into heavy carbonation and I love the smoothness so I feel like this was made for me. ITS SO GOOD. However I TOTALLY get how if you are super into carbonation it would be a deal breaker.
All of the older generation are really hard on this soda. Meanwhile, the younger generation who enjoy Nitro brew coffees and Nitro beers (Example: Guinness) love this soda
As someone who drinks A LOT of different sodas both name brand and off brand, I will say the Pepsi Nitro is certainly not nearly as corrosive as a normal Pepsi usually is for my teeth. I typically steer away from Pepsi, Coca cola, RC cola, and any other sodas of similar ingredients purely because of how soft my teeth feel after drinking any one of those sodas with RC cola being the worst. Makes my teeth feel like half melted butter and I actually ended up cracking one of my teeth drinking RC cherry cola when I was in high school. Couldn't eat solid sweets without getting pain for years. The nitro simply doesn't make my teeth feel so bad and that can be inclusive for some people who might have the same issue. I will agree though, is does taste flat, but somehow not in an overly bad way.
@@MrAjel12 You have something to add to that comment to back up your statement of telling me I'm wrong about something that happened to me and not you?
I had the same reaction when I opened up my can of Nitro Pepsi. I was like " I KNOW i didn't shake this ... " then I doubted myself "Now did I shake it? lol "
I just tried them today poured it "hard" and I also got a flat taste but if I poured it like a beer down the side of the glass on some ice it was way better and not flat tasting I definitely like them I got the regular ones haven't tried the vanilla
As someone who hates super carbonated drinks I loved the nitro vanilla. And I drank it room temp out of the can. Just saw it on the shelf in the grocery store and said neat and drank it on the way home.
I love the flavor of soda but carbonation HURTS my mouth and throat so badly. If this tastes more flat… this could be the solution to all my problems. Definitely hype.
@@JasonMazurek just went out and got these after watching your video, I personally do like them but I feel like it’s a hit or miss. You either like them for their creamy smooth texture or dislike them for the flat soda resemblance.
Pepsi does not need any improvement, smaller bubbles included. But, having said that, they COULD go back to the way they made it in the 70's. Or at least offer the Throw back again.
Idk mine was flat, or it tasted like it, if I found out it was flat I would definitely try again, but if it wasn't flat I wouldn't get it again, mine was way more foamy then when you poured yours out, but I think if I drank it straight from the can it would keep the carbination.
Thing is. I love soda and the bubbliness and strong less smooth taste of drinking it. Nitro from the couple times I’ve drunk it I can see why people might like it. Especially people who don’t really like soda that much. Something I’m wondering is how it is with other drinks such as alcohol maybe even a root beer float. But to be honest yeah it’s like a flat soda. It’s not terrible just not for me.
I think flat soda is gross. It's really weird seeing all the random people try it once, say I like it and then never buy it again. It's a soda marketed towards people who don't like soda, what a weird and dumb concept. Like making sugarless candy. Disgusting to 99% of people.
It is a bit unfair to compare it to what we are all used to when it comes to canned soda. It is a completely new and different thing. I admire Pepsi for the attempt for something new Do not underestimate the visual appeal (we eat and drink with our eyes) of the cascade, recall the Guinness commercials. Crack and pour. Don't admire the sound, stop talking and pour it. I think they are deliciously addicting. They are super sweet, however. I will certainly take any that nobody wants. . .
when I got a can of the normal nitro pep, it definitely did taste like flat Pepsi. the vanilla pep definitely tastes way less flat if not like normal pipis. At least that is my experience.
I discovered these few weeks ago in the unique snacks stores we have in Canada and they became the best Pepsi drink I’ve ever had they taste like a billion tiny bubbles that go down smooth and now I only want nitro carbonated sodas from now on lol , anyways the Pepsi nitro to me tastes like it has so much more flavour then standard flat Pepsi with different bubbles, honestly I cherish each can because they’re 6 dollars and feels like your drinking pure art 😂
It’s perfect for me, I would usually make drinks flat because I hated the carbonation amount. Now I have Pepsi nitro. Sucks I can’t handle much sugar. I would be drinking this and this only if I could.
It does make a mess when opening, but it did not taste flat at all to me. I can see why folks get that impression, but it was just very smooth. I don’t drink pop anymore, but this was delicious!
I'm not a huge Pepsi drinker but I love these, thankfully I only see them at some gas stations. The only thing I don't like about it is that it always seems to fizz up and out of the can and makes a mess.
I tried the vanilla one. It does taste like flat Pepsi. With the limited carbonation, it tasted like a Pepsi float. Which is good if you’re in the mood for a Pepsi float minus the ice cream. The smaller bubbles make it taste almost creamy. It’s not really a soda for me. I like excessive carbonation. I like it to hurt. Which is why I prefer sprite. But if you can get sprites carbonation with a cola instead… *chefs kiss.*
I love heavy carbonation and this wasn’t a particular favourite of mine…a decent taste, I just miss the carbonation too much I couldn’t get over the day old opened can Pepsi taste
Having worked at a coffee shop that makes its own Nitro you kind of have to know what Nitro. Nitro may seem flat but it's not, but it's not a crisp bubbly, it's smooth malty bubbly, kind of like a dark beer. I was impressed by the flavor and how pleasant it was to drink. It's smooth, without the bite of Carbonation. Haven't tried the Vanilla, I'd prefer this over regular Pepsi but sadly this probably won't stick around too long.
I've tried it 3 times. I want to like it, but it does taste flat. I don't understand why this exists and why it's $2 a can. I bought 3 more... I saw a video out about opening it at a 45° angle over a glass. I'll try that, but I don't have high hopes.

Lucky for her she's drop dead gorgeous and has been able to get by on her looks for most of her life, although to her credit she is at least rather self-aware in this regard and is usually the first to admit her shortcomings in an honest manner. Don't worry, I've never let her forget about her mistake here though 😅. I mean come on, the plastic device in the can is very clearly intended to be there based on the shape, texture, and design alone. I had to explain the purpose and function behind the design to her using only small words and a few visual aids, and I believe she understood eventually lol. Either that or she still had no clue what I was on about and she simply feigned comprehension in order to avoid looking like a dummy, or just to shut me up (if not both).
In any case it's been my experience that a person tends to be at least somewhat intelligent, but in general *people* are often breathtakingly stupid and hopelessly ignorant. So it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there were many people out there who discovered the little plastic device in their cans only to be utterly baffled by it. It's just like all the people out there who buy the Nitro Pepsi and then proceed to piss and moan about it being "flat" 😂. Lol I mean honestly what did you expect??? This is chemistry 101 here people... Nitrogen gas is less soluble in liquid compared to darbon dioxide (CO²) and less acidic, resulting in less fizz and a more mellow, subtle creaminess. It's an entirely different texture and experience and doesn't create all of the bloat and discomfort typically associated with carbonated beverages. It doesn't always have to be an assault on one's senses in order to be good! We're not six years old anymore and we don't have to be consistently overstimulated in order to be entertained or content. Complaining that Nitro Pepsi is flat just seems childish to me, but whatever. Maybe I'm just being kinda snobby 😆.
You know, people might be thinking its a fail because it's not as strong with the carbonation... for one. For one it's not supposed to be as harsh as soda, I just had the vanilla one and I for one REALLY enjoyed it, I feel regular soda is to harsh, and MAYBE they could up the carbonation just a bit... but I dont think its really all that flat, you kinda failed at "pouring it hard" as well.
It tastes like a pepsi float... It really is amazing. There is plenty of carbonation it is just in the smaller bubbles. Honestly I am going to cry if they discontinue this version. lol
It sucks...get over yourself
Tried the vanilla and I have to say I dig the hell out of it!! Really really smooth and I’ll be buying more!
Smooth= flat
I stay away from pop because of the burning sensation it gives my stomach- for that reason, I like nitro. This product might be to target non pop drinkers…
I've recently been having that problem with sodas and have to drink them in tiny sips because of this problem. So these nitro pepsis are a god send and it has the texture of a cold brew wich I love.
Just had the vanilla flavored drafted and going in knowing it is a flat drink I’m actually impressed. The after taste is nice…it lingers, the smoothness is fun. It’s a sophisticated flat drink 😂 not for fizzy lovers. Fun and will enjoy another with a lunch sandwich tmrw 👍🏽 Compared to a chilled normal flat soda the draft has a more balanced drink and not a nasty flat.
My GF mom gave me a case yesterday. Came home and thought it was like an energy drink. And just like you i poped it open and acted like i shook it. And again just like you i thought it went flat.
Paid $2.29 for a 16 oz can of the nastiest, flattest, excuse for a soda/ soft drink ever! Pepsi Just knocked new coke out of the galaxy for the biggest, nastiest product failure ever!!
I feel like I'm one of the few who enjoy flat soda somewhat. But I will say this doesn't taste "flat" in my honest opinion, but who knows maybe my liking of flat soda has influence on how I feel about this drink. I absolutely LOVED the vanilla flavored one. I literally chugged the fuck out of it. I hope they don't discontinue. The only downside to these is I drink them too fast lol
I absolutely love the nitro vanilla Pepsi.
It was weird, kind of like an addiction for me. I drank a vanilla one and didn't like it much. But then I started craving it and kept buying more,..
@@georgehennon6415 EXACTLY THE SAME FOR ME
I didn't shake my either and had it sitting on the table for like 20 minutes after I took out of the fridge and I didn't do a half-open like you did. I cracked it open all the way. The damn thing exploded all over me and my bed, then started spewing like one of those volcano science projects you make in the 3rd grade. I quickly grabbed a cup (and a wet towel) and poured it hard, as per instructions. Somehow, in spite of all that, it still wasn't flat. It actually is a lot smoother. If you don't like soda because of the carbonation, you will probably like this. You know how soda makes your eyes water if you drink it too fast, from the bubbles? You can chug this bad boy all day long and not get that same effect although you may get one hell of a sugar rush if you do.
Sorry. I meant it (mostly) didn't taste flat
Lol I had the same issue with 2/4 cans the last one coverd my whole island. I dunno why though
It’s like a soda version of the icee Coca-Cola. It’s more flat and doesn’t burn my throat and make my stomach upset if I drink it to fast. It tastes amazing.
What I love about it is it tastes like a Pepsi sushy without the ice melting or refreezing. I dont think it quite tastes flat to me
Pepsi sushy?
Opening it on 3 stages kinda retains the carbonation. When I open it, I barely let air in. I wait for a second. I open it a little more, and let more air in, and then open the whole thing. Lemme know if this works.
Save your money, just buy a regular Pepsi (or vanilla) and let it go flat. It’s the same taste, just different marketing. I work for pepsi, we all hate it
Lol
I always thought Pepsi has too much carbonation, so maybe I will like this one?
I tried the vanilla one and it had great taste and smooth.
Great review. Thanks.
I got one today and soon as I opened it. It just overflowed everywhere
I was waiting for the YUCK face!! hehehe nice video!
Im not super into heavy carbonation and I love the smoothness so I feel like this was made for me.
ITS SO GOOD.
However I TOTALLY get how if you are super into carbonation it would be a deal breaker.
All of the older generation are really hard on this soda. Meanwhile, the younger generation who enjoy Nitro brew coffees and Nitro beers (Example: Guinness) love this soda
I'm a huge pepsi drinker and I find this to be my favorite pepsi yet
As someone who drinks A LOT of different sodas both name brand and off brand, I will say the Pepsi Nitro is certainly not nearly as corrosive as a normal Pepsi usually is for my teeth. I typically steer away from Pepsi, Coca cola, RC cola, and any other sodas of similar ingredients purely because of how soft my teeth feel after drinking any one of those sodas with RC cola being the worst. Makes my teeth feel like half melted butter and I actually ended up cracking one of my teeth drinking RC cherry cola when I was in high school. Couldn't eat solid sweets without getting pain for years. The nitro simply doesn't make my teeth feel so bad and that can be inclusive for some people who might have the same issue. I will agree though, is does taste flat, but somehow not in an overly bad way.
You did not crack your teeth drinking soda…. The f
@@MrAjel12 You have something to add to that comment to back up your statement of telling me I'm wrong about something that happened to me and not you?
Pepsi is soooo corrosive its almost unbearable
@@ColtsMan2005 But most definitely not going to CRACK a tooth lmao
@@MrAjel12 never said that
These are game changers. You'll see. Smooth, frothy, foamy, and the taste really pops out. I tried the original ...
They're not game changers...they're landfill fillers
Are you serious? This is garbage. It tastes like flat soda. That's it. Enough said
@@charlesdickerson8260 TOTALLY AGREE!
Ive heard the first drink is good but every drink after it just tastes flat
I had the same reaction when I opened up my can of Nitro Pepsi. I was like " I KNOW i didn't shake this ... " then I doubted myself "Now did I shake it? lol "
I personally like nitro pepsi more than regular pepsi and flat soda's have less flavor than this one.
Crazy thing is - that can is very deceiving. It looks bigger than a regular soda, but the Nitro can is thicker, but contains the same amount of fluid.
I got a Pepsi ad for this video
I’m so happy you had the exact reaction I did.
I just bought a Pepsi nitro and it’s one of the nastiest things I’ve had in a while. It’s like non-carbonated
hey where can i get this stuff in Australia for a fair price?
No it really tastes flat. I was so disappointed bro 😭😭
I don’t like the crispness of soda so I love this. The bubbles are smaller but pout harder you get a better flavor
I just tried them today poured it "hard" and I also got a flat taste but if I poured it like a beer down the side of the glass on some ice it was way better and not flat tasting I definitely like them I got the regular ones haven't tried the vanilla
You always know a soda is good and passes the ultimate test when store brands make it. That simple.
I don't think I get it.🤔
Look on the inside of an empty can… I think the sound is the nitro being infused
As someone who hates super carbonated drinks I loved the nitro vanilla. And I drank it room temp out of the can. Just saw it on the shelf in the grocery store and said neat and drank it on the way home.
So depending.. I just bought 2 of each.. I was wishing for Guinness quality.. I will tell you what I think after I chill them
I love the flavor of soda but carbonation HURTS my mouth and throat so badly. If this tastes more flat… this could be the solution to all my problems. Definitely hype.
So air hurts your mouth and throat ?
It is less flat. A lot of foam, but the carbonation isn’t nearly as much as normal Pepsi
@@jbtalkalot yes. It literally feels like a bunch of little needles. It’s very strange
I just poured mine easy and it's still like mostly flat pepsi
A lot of people with stomach issues can't have regular carbonation sodas. For some this may be their best way of having pop with there food. ENJOY!
@Jason Mazurek now you can mix these Nitro Pepsi drinks with alcohol like rum (Captain Morgan) & vodka (Smirnoff).
Great video and editing
Thank you!
@@JasonMazurek just went out and got these after watching your video, I personally do like them but I feel like it’s a hit or miss. You either like them for their creamy smooth texture or dislike them for the flat soda resemblance.
It tastes even worse in the can it’s like almost syrupy in the bottom
10/10 ! I'm not a fan of any soda at all ! I tried the pepsi vanilla nitro and I became a fan !
Pepsi does not need any improvement, smaller bubbles included. But, having said that, they COULD go back to the way they made it in the 70's. Or at least offer the Throw back again.
Idk mine was flat, or it tasted like it, if I found out it was flat I would definitely try again, but if it wasn't flat I wouldn't get it again, mine was way more foamy then when you poured yours out, but I think if I drank it straight from the can it would keep the carbination.
I love these has the texture of cold brew tastes like a pepsi, hope these are here to stay in the pepsi lineup
You HAVE to put ice in it before you pour, it actually makes it 10 times better imo
Thing is. I love soda and the bubbliness and strong less smooth taste of drinking it. Nitro from the couple times I’ve drunk it I can see why people might like it. Especially people who don’t really like soda that much. Something I’m wondering is how it is with other drinks such as alcohol maybe even a root beer float. But to be honest yeah it’s like a flat soda. It’s not terrible just not for me.
I think flat soda is gross. It's really weird seeing all the random people try it once, say I like it and then never buy it again.
It's a soda marketed towards people who don't like soda, what a weird and dumb concept. Like making sugarless candy. Disgusting to 99% of people.
It is a bit unfair to compare it to what we are all used to when it comes to canned soda. It is a completely new and different thing. I admire Pepsi for the attempt for something new
Do not underestimate the visual appeal (we eat and drink with our eyes) of the cascade, recall the Guinness commercials.
Crack and pour. Don't admire the sound, stop talking and pour it.
I think they are deliciously addicting. They are super sweet, however.
I will certainly take any that nobody wants. . .
when I got a can of the normal nitro pep, it definitely did taste like flat Pepsi. the vanilla pep definitely tastes way less flat if not like normal pipis. At least that is my experience.
The vanilla one is really good
Do a frosted mug.
Better head and flavor.
mine exploded aswell when i opened it, and its literally just pre flat pepsi lol
I watched this review because I thought I was the only person who thought that this drink tasted flat
I discovered these few weeks ago in the unique snacks stores we have in Canada and they became the best Pepsi drink I’ve ever had they taste like a billion tiny bubbles that go down smooth and now I only want nitro carbonated sodas from now on lol , anyways the Pepsi nitro to me tastes like it has so much more flavour then standard flat Pepsi with different bubbles, honestly I cherish each can because they’re 6 dollars and feels like your drinking pure art 😂
It sounds like souls escaping from the can when you open it
It’s perfect for me, I would usually make drinks flat because I hated the carbonation amount. Now I have Pepsi nitro. Sucks I can’t handle much sugar. I would be drinking this and this only if I could.
It does make a mess when opening, but it did not taste flat at all to me. I can see why folks get that impression, but it was just very smooth. I don’t drink pop anymore, but this was delicious!
Ok so basically what u do is chill the can, then quikly open it to release the nitrogen, then flip it upside down for the effects
😅😅 Thanks for the review..i definately know what thats about now lol isnt dirt like 70-80% nitrogen? Lol Im not fond of pepsi or coke
I'm not a huge Pepsi drinker but I love these, thankfully I only see them at some gas stations. The only thing I don't like about it is that it always seems to fizz up and out of the can and makes a mess.
I tried the vanilla one. It does taste like flat Pepsi. With the limited carbonation, it tasted like a Pepsi float. Which is good if you’re in the mood for a Pepsi float minus the ice cream. The smaller bubbles make it taste almost creamy.
It’s not really a soda for me. I like excessive carbonation. I like it to hurt. Which is why I prefer sprite. But if you can get sprites carbonation with a cola instead… *chefs kiss.*
What's the thing on the bottom inside the can?
I actually really liked the normal draft one
Same. Flat Pepsi, but not watered down Pepsi. I was actually kinda mad lol.
I hate a lot of fizz, so tbh this is right for me, the vanilla one tastes great out of the can when you dont pour
Yeah definitely taste like a thick smooth flat pepsi
i just got some of this and i love it, instantly my favorite soda
I love heavy carbonation and this wasn’t a particular favourite of mine…a decent taste, I just miss the carbonation too much
I couldn’t get over the day old opened can Pepsi taste
They found a way to bottle flat Pepsi
Putting nitrogen in soda is just stupid. No CO2 = No carbonic acid = flat taste.
Having worked at a coffee shop that makes its own Nitro you kind of have to know what Nitro. Nitro may seem flat but it's not, but it's not a crisp bubbly, it's smooth malty bubbly, kind of like a dark beer. I was impressed by the flavor and how pleasant it was to drink. It's smooth, without the bite of Carbonation. Haven't tried the Vanilla, I'd prefer this over regular Pepsi but sadly this probably won't stick around too long.
I've tried it 3 times. I want to like it, but it does taste flat. I don't understand why this exists and why it's $2 a can. I bought 3 more... I saw a video out about opening it at a 45° angle over a glass. I'll try that, but I don't have high hopes.
Did you look inside the can? It has a white plastic thing stuck in the bottom. Cut one open and you’ll see it.
Yeah we did that too
