I gave up on Burpsie Cola (Pepsi) years ago. Their colas are so tooth-
achingly sweet ... even their diet stuff. Back around the turn of the
century Pepsi came out with a "diet" product called Pepsi One - claiming
but a single calorie in a 12 oz. serving. And it was pretty good tasting
a lot like Coca Cola. But it was hard to find and the gas station where
I worked at the time could not get the route driver to leave more than
minimal amounts of product - which always sold out quickly. Then Pepsi
started promoting the "Pepsi One" and lots of product was available.
Sadly they had reformulated it away from the original taste. It did not
sell well.

Haven't seen ginger. I like grapefruit, cranberry and cherry flavoured
seltzers though.
