> ...seconds 0-3: Blue taste dominates. It's sweet and mildly fruity, although not reminiscent to any terrestrial fruit that I know of. This phase is reasonably pleasant.
>
> ...seconds 3-6: Pepsi taste emerges. I like Pepsi, but the combination of Pepsi and Blue can only be described as unholy. Must swallow quickly to get rid of the taste, but it won't.

> ...second 6: Swallow. One half second of relief.
>
> ...seconds 6.5-8: Unholy fumes pervade the oral and nasal passages. This is the most unpleasant phase.
>
> ...seconds 8-17: Fumes dissipate, but taste lingers. Blue taste starts to assert itself again, fading somewhat more slowly than the Pepsi taste fades. But the mix remains unholy.

> > Pepsi Blue is pretty bad. I did, however, conduct an experiment last month. Some friends and I got a bottle of that and a bottle of Mountain Dew Code Red and mixed them. The result? A pretty tasty beverage, if you like candy. It's like drinking gummy worms. Insane.

> That's the next experiment.
